Dice Robotech - Tales of the UEEF (OOC)

[Epiphany]

I'm really up for either. I played a Beta to someone else's Alpha once (briefly) and could do so again. But Valkyries remain a fun Robotech tradition, and the combat munchkin in me (tiny as she is) has never been convinced that merging two ships to one makes the combination more effective than both apart (and usually it seems it makes it less effective, except perhaps from a range perspective).

I freely admit Robotech is at its most interesting to me when delving into its aliens rather than its humans. But I've done Zentraedi to death by this point and other than maybe the crystal people (or an android), the cats and demons and bears aren't particularly appealing to me. So guess I'll bite the bullet and actually play a human for once.

 

[Sherwood]

Ok, so lets all go for the Valkyries. Psychie , feel free to edit your sheet accordingly.

 

[Psychie]

Cool. I'll get right on it.

 

[Orikanyo]

Woo! Also, side note, seems i can't post on mobile in PMs or here...

 

[Orikanyo]

Hey WlfSamurai Don't forget to pick up Pilot Veritech and MECT in one of them, too.

So, Sherwood , are we all Marine Aviators, or is this a mixed squadron?

Just talking with Sherwood about it, thanks for the advice though.

yer pilots looking cute again, wont beat Cheesecake though XD

 

[Psychie]

So Sherwood any idea on who the team leader will be?

 

[Orikanyo]

We should choose the one the least suited for the job, so that it will throw enemies off on who is the actual commander.

That's still up in the air. Depends on what WlfSamurai and Epiphany come up with, and you guys can then thumb wrestle over the fun job.

I thought you guys did that before in my other games. <innocent look>

The good doctor was the best damn team leader they had, he just made usage of the other's knowledge and skills.

I did it once, Psychie has done it a few times, maybe we should choose a wild card?

Smartass!

 

[Epiphany]

My grasp of military tactics is amateurishly shaky at best.

If you're willing to put with the player writing and making potentially dumb moves her character probably wouldn't, I'm probably up for it. No objection at all if someone else wants to lead the way though.

 

[Orikanyo]

Trust me, if you have an ear to what the others recromend, you can do it. It can be a tough thing making the final decision, but somebody has to.

When in doubt, separate things you don't want blown up, and the things you do want blown up, and blow up the latter.

Don't worry too much; I will give you some helpful nudges here and there when needed, and I'm sure that the rest of the group will keep you from doing anything too crazy. Probably.

Hey Epiphany and WlfSamurai , any ideas on what kind of MOS you guys are going for? Any questions on your sheets?

 

[Epiphany]

I was already leaning towards STORM Commando for the novelty. Think I'll do that.

 

[Epiphany]

Also, WlfSamurai needs to pick an MOS where he'll play a Lieutenant. So we can all be Lieutenants. So we can be the L(i)T squad.

 

[Sherwood]

And here I was, thinking to steer your squad name to represent the old school use of all Valkyries.

 

[Psychie]

All hail Pips, our fearless leader! We shall gladly follow you into battle!

 

[Epiphany]

And here I was, thinking to steer your squad name to represent the old school use of all Valkyries.

Always open to your suggestions, boss.

 

[Sherwood]

Always open to your suggestions, boss.

Naah. Squad names and call signs are up to you guys. I was just being silly.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Gosh, is it bad that I kind of just want to do the Veritech pilot OOC?

Unless we really need a specialist. I’m open to any, I just want to be really good at fighting in my veritech and flying.

 

[Epiphany]

Sherwood Because actually calling a team the "Lit Squad" isn't silly?

WlfSamurai Do it! While past games I've played have typically had a variety of specialists in them, in practice we tend to spend most of our time flying Veritechs. Do the Veritech Pilot OCC if that's what's most fun for you.

 

[Sherwood]

@Sherwood Because actually calling a team the "Lit Squad" isn't silly?

Its up to you guys. I'm just the Storyteller.

I went with the regular Veritech pilot, too. I just chose the Valkyrie instead of the Alpha for my MECT skill, with the Natural Aptitude of Fast Learner to be able to get the skill package for the Beta pilot, just without the bonuses with it. What are you guys looking at for your Aptitudes?

 

[Epiphany]

Probably going with Sure Shot.

 

[Sherwood]

I may write up a NPC to be your Communications Tech for the squad, riding in the back seat of one of the fighters.
