Dice Robotech - The Invid War - OOC Thread

[D. Rex]

Blackjack, I assume

 

[Sherwood]

Also! Does John have a call sign? @Sherwood

Blackjack. He's fond of card games.

 

[Sherwood]

There is no Gambling skill in the Robotech books, but there is in the Rifts one, but I don't know if that would be allowed.

 

[D. Rex]

Blackjack. He's fond of card games.

Then it would be only appropriate of me to stick with a gambling related callsign.

And will use the term I used before. "Snake Eyes" Ill luck with dice. She likes playing them! But... yeah.

I'll let you pick it up if you really want to spend the skill for it.

 

[Sherwood]

I might just do that, even if it may never come up as a needed skill. Just for flavor and color on the guy.

A good a reason as any!


The first skill I'm picking up is weapon systems. And then WP heavy md weapons.

 

[D. Rex]

Psychie

Any house rules on leveling up?

 

[Psychie]

I am considering some, like adding a skill every level instead of just every few like in the books, and possibly a free increase of an attribute every three levels.

 

[Sherwood]

I would happily support this idea.

 

[D. Rex]

As would I.

 

[Psychie]

I'll probably implement these changes, then, and add the new rules to the Characters thread.

 

[Sherwood]

I went ahead and added the Gambling skill to my sheet.

 

[Psychie]

Just so long as you don't try to cheat your fellow crew members, you'll be just fine with that.

 

[Sherwood]

Naaah, I won't try and cheat. I'm a good guy.

 

[Silanon]

Of course you are, Sherwood, that's just how we know you. Maybe still empty your pockets, and take off that suspicious jacket... just to make sure that you don't get robbed while playing, alright?

Just read through pages of shameless, stupid jokes - and had a way too good time doing that, no better way to wake up in the morning. Surprised that you managed to take care of quite a few questions as well, kinda doubted that half-way through...

Anyway, is anyone of the Beta pilots willing to ignore past differences and team up with a Zentraedi before we begin the story? Got a quiet, very much dedicated Alpha pilot for long sparring matches at night to offer; also got a bit of tactical insight to offer, if someone likes to ponder over his plans for world domination...

If Charlie doesnt team up with John, she'd be happy to do so with Jandra.

Lol though Charlie's smaller personality might be found a bit grating to a meltrandae.

Charlie might also need to be convinced to spar.

But I think the two of them would have some fun dynamics to play off of.



But whose world domination?

 

[Rykon]

Y'all are both too funny and too rapid to keep up with. At least for as distracted as I've been.

I'm about beat for the night, though I've started getting better concepts solidified.

I can either go for a Zealous Marine Leader(Military Specialist/Command Officer/Marine?) or a Navy Engineer (Technical Officer/Engineering Officer/Alpha Pilot). I kept trying to fight ways to blend such things, but it just didn't seem right conceptually. The Marine MOS is in question, partly cause there's a handful of similar ones and the real kicker appears to be the hand to hand starting skill. I dunno if Psychie or Sherwood would like to give a recommendation there.

For a name, I think I'll go with Michael "Mike" McGregor.

 

[Silanon]

But whose world domination?

That's the important question right there. Still up for debate, but Rykon is in prime position to get her full support. Like, doesn't matter what the character looks like, the rank in itself will do the trick. For your private thing behind our leader's back, just insert Rykon's character name where you'd want to put yours. Rolled low enough on IQ to make that work, don't ya worry.

Psychie
I know you said the Silverback isn't available yet at this point of the timeline. I noticed the Marine M.O.S. explicitly has MECT for it.

If I chose that as a secondary M.O.S. would the character acquire it automatically or still have to spend a secondary skill to acquire it?

 

[D. Rex]

Rykon if you are taking a leader roll for Mike. Wouldnt you want him to have a higher MA?

You can get the Silverback MECT for free. You are just a little early for it.

 

[Rykon]

That should work fine.

I've been weighing Marine, Special Forces/Espionage, and Ranger/Reconnaissance. Right now it's a bit of a tie for Marine and Special Forces until I have a moment to check out the new hand to hand options from ninjas and super spies that pertain to this game.

 

[Sherwood]

Perhaps Mike had the chance of working on the prototype of the Silverback?

That works.
