Oh, how cool is that? Thanks, Psychie!

 

[Psychie]

 

[Sherwood]

Sweet! Thats awesome. Thanks!

 

[Purr]

The target smokes? This changes everything. I'll try to post up later today.

 

[Psychie]

No rush. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

 

[Purr]

Psychie Kitty would like to use one of her Action Points to increase her Prowl roll, please. Her current Prowl is: Prowl: 54%. She has taken off her armor so as not to suffer its -15% penalty.

Kitty is attempting to beat the target into unconsciousness (see Stun Baton, Masters Sourcebook, page 100).

 

[Purr]

in time for you to slam into him with the twin shock sticks. He doesn't say anything other than letting out a gurgling sound as he slumps to the ground, unconscious.

"Hey! I'm gonna get you too! Another one bites the dust!" 8D

Hey GunMan2 Haven't heard from you in a while; are you still with us?

 

[Sherwood]

According to his profile, he hasn't been online since Jan 6.

 

[Purr]

Uh, oh. Something might have happened to him (or his computer or his internet connection, etc.). I don't think ol' Gunny has ever been dark this long.

 

[GunMan2]

Hey

 

[GunMan2]

Sorry for going dark for a while but was on vacation to visit some family and had very bad internet

 

[Sherwood]

He returns! Welcome back.

 

[Psychie]

Good to have you with us again.

 

[Purr]

Sorry for going dark for a while but was on vacation to visit some family and had very bad internet

GunMan2 Hey! Welcome back, man! Hope you had a good time! =)

P.S. If you are able to next time, drop us a note (that is, if you happen to know you're going to a Land of Very Bad Internet)? Good to see you again, Gun! =)

On a Robotech-related subject, I'm trying to build some interest in a new game that I'd like to run. After reading Heinlein's Starship Troopers again, I wanted to try a Cyclone-centric game instead of focusing on the larger Veritechs.

Here is the link to the interest thread:

Starship Troopers inspired Palladium Robotech Game

After re-reading Heinlein's book Starship Troopers, I am interested in a UEEF-based PbP game based on using Cyclones or Silverbacks instead of being focused on the other Veritechs like the Alpha, Beta and Valkyrie, or the larger ground-pounding Destroids. I would be using the 2e rules, dipping...

Psychie is already interested, but I'd like a few more people to sign on to this. If anyone is interested, let me know!

 

[Purr]

Sherwood I would have to let go of a current game in order to join, so it's a "sorry, but no" from me. Most of the games I am in involve my oldest buddy, Sherwood! =)

I have to ask - is your game based on Heinlein's book or the much-later movie series?

 

[Sherwood]

It is more of a focus on the smaller Cyclones as the stars of the game instead of the larger mecha.

 

[Purr]

I have to ask - is your game based on Heinlein's book or the much-later movie series?

 

[Purr]

Sherwood I'm not asking about the mecha. You made that clear. In other words, are you basing the game on this? Book. or This?

I'm asking because you mentioned you read the book but that doesn't 100% mean that you're not also using the movie(s) as inspiration? Have you've seen the movie(s)?

 

[Sherwood]

Well, this game idea hit me as I was reading the book, wondering how a Mobile Infantry style game might run in the Robotech universe. With the Cyclones, there is a ready made set of multi-purpose armor that I can tap into to get the smaller scale, grittier feel that I'm looking for in this game. Small unit tactics instead of the high speed Alphas and Betas romping around.

 

[Purr]

Okay, so you're going with Heinlien's book and not the movie(s). Cool deal! (I couldn't stand the movie.) =)

 

[Sherwood]

Have you seen the Roughnecks animated series? It isn't too bad, even though it is more based on the movie instead of the book.

 

[Sherwood]

GunMan2 What about you? Would you be interested in a new mecha game using the Palladium system?

 

[Purr]

Have you seen the Roughnecks animated series? It isn't too bad, even though it is more based on the movie instead of the book.

Animated series? No. It can't be as bad as the movie "loosely based" on Heinlein's talented work.
