Dice Robotech - Expedition Under Fire (OOC)

[WlfSamurai]

Wow, that’s awesome! Did they do any 2nd edition prints of deck plans? I have a bnch of Macross deck plans books, but...

 

[Sherwood]

Not that I know of. I don't think that they ever went with those, other than the deck plans posted in the Sentinels book 1e.

 

[Silanon]

It is indeed the MOS Basic Storm Team training - just added that to the character sheet for convenience. I had that pic for quite a while, finally found a way to use it

 

[Sherwood]

I'm just looking forward to the start of the game. Should be a lot of fun.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Should have the first post done hopefully late this evening. Stay tuned.

 

[Psychie]

Oh, glorious Storyteller? I have a quick question. Since I see that none of us are communications specialists, are we going to be getting one as an NPC? If not, since we haven't started the game yet, I was thinking that I might drop my Veritech Ace Natural Aptitude and pick up the Communications Specialist MOS.

Actually, I'd probably go for the Electronic Warfare Specialist. That has some great skills to it.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Great question. My plan is to make you a squadron of 6 and fill in any gaps. Based on what we have now, I was thinking one heavy weapons/ordanance specialist, one communications specialist, and another pilot.

If you want to change your MOS or skills, please feel free and I’ll fill in. So long as you are playing what you want.

 

[Psychie]

Hmmm. Now I need to decide quickly if I want to go with the EW or Communications Specialist, or stick with the Veritech Ace pilot. Decisions, decisions.

 

[Psychie]

Decision made. Went with the Communications Specialist.

 

[Sherwood]

I just thought that we will need to pick out flight callsigns.

The web's largest collection of pilot callsigns

 

[Silanon]

I'm bad with those - might have to rely on the squad to come up with a decent one over time.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Yes, and think of a squadron name as well.

 

[WlfSamurai]

First post is up!

Robotech - Expedition Under Fire

 

[WlfSamurai]

Oh man. This is gonna git gud.

 

[Sherwood]

I hope so!

 

[Silanon]

If that's not a good start for my day, nothing is - excited!

 

[Sherwood]

lol I am starting to get a good feel in my head for Alyxis. I look forward to seeing how this comes out!

 

[Soviet Panda]

Look at all those dice rolls. I'll think of something later. Currently 2am, and I'm tired, so brain power is low.

 

[Epiphany]

Assuming this is a Storm team sort of game, with a variety of roles to handle mixed mission requirements, I'm inclined to go with a Tirolian technical officer / scientist type using a Cyclone. Is that cool?

 

[WlfSamurai]

I’d ask that everyone be at least capable in Veritechs as that will be the large part of squadron deployment. Otherwise, yes, please, by all means. That sounds good.

 

[Sherwood]

We will really be a blended company with all of these nonhumans in it.

 

[Epiphany]

So, none of the OCCs in the Marine book start with the ability to do a Veritech except the Storm Commando OCC. Are we all supposed to be Storm Commandos?

Edit: Or is that what I should blow my OCC Related skills on?

 

[Sherwood]

It was not a requirement for us to play Storm Commandos, it was just a happy coincidence that both I and Psychie decided to choose that OCC. If you choose another OCC that doesn't have a Pilot Veritech skill in its list, you'll need to either choose a MOS like the Marine Close Air Support Pilot or use up your other skills to pick up Pilot Veritech and MECT Alpha or Beta.

 

[Psychie]

I can't use a Cyclone. The Garudans don't fit in one. I'll have to settle on a Silverback. Not that it is a problem, after all the Silverback is a cool ride, too.

 

[Sherwood]

The only problem with that is the Veritechs we are flying don't have the room to fit one in it. You'll have to hope that whatever ground missions we have will include a large enough dropship to deliver a Silverback to the surface with us.
