Dice Robotech: Army of the Southern Cross - OOC thread

[Sherwood]

Giving this another go of it, huh? Thanks for thinking of me. I appreciate it!

I can see myself getting into this. Let me see what kinds of characters and NPCs there are and I'll come up with something that will fit in.

 

[Purr]

See, Psychie? What did I tell you? I think he's going to take even more convincing. Did you bring cookies? Heh heh! Hey, bud! Good to see you and in another Robotech game at that! =)

 

[Psychie]

Sherwood Of course! Take your time in pondering your character ideas. I won't start the game for a while.

 

[Sherwood]

Purr I didn't dare say 'no'. She gets mean when she doesn't get what she wants.

Just kidding!

 

[Psychie]

Keep that up and I'll show you mean! Stinker!

 

[Sherwood]

 

[Sherwood]

Let me start out with some die rolls. Here goes....

Edit: I'm glad that there is a rule of rerolling '1's'. Ouch!
12
14
23
8
13
13
13
21

With the free 24, that gives me some pretty good numbers once I drop the '8'.

 

[Purr]

Keep that up and I'll show you mean! Stinker!

Psychster... he's just showing you that he sure knows how to push your buttons. =) =)

 

[Psychie]

Psychster... he's just showing you that he sure knows how to push your buttons. =) =)

It will be absolutely terrible when his character dies after all the work he's putting into it....

That third roll sure was trying to get those 1's into this! lol

 

[Sherwood]

Yeah, no kidding.

 

[Purr]

Once again, the whole reason I don't trust RP Nation's dice roller rears its ugly digital head! =)

 

[Purr]

Man, if this were a White Wolf game and those were d10s, those would have been such Botches!

 

[Psychie]

No kidding!

 

[Sherwood]

For my future rolls, I may not risk fate any more and ask Psy to make them with her dice.

 

[Purr]

That may be a good idea. =)

Polyhedrons are just a little more fair like that. =)

 

[Psychie]

I have no problem making any rolls you need.

 

[Sherwood]

Thanks.

From what we have currently posted, I am thinking of going with ATAC, using either the Communications Specialist MOS, Field Medic, or going with the big guns and taking Heavy Weapons Specialist.

 

[Psychie]

Either one of those three would be fine.

 

[Purr]

Are you playing a Sergeant or is Psychie giving us one or am I making a new character?

 

[Psychie]

I can have a squad leader NPC if you guys don't want to take the reins. I'd just tweak one of the two NPCs I have up.

 

[Purr]

Psychie Searching myself, I think I'm still on the fence about playing Felis/Risa. My concerns are:

1. I don't know how much "staying power" a character like her has. I wanted a "low-maintenance" character but given the few choices in OOCs and the combat-focus in this game (as opposed to being a "tank-tweaker" or inventor).

2. Gabi was Tac Corp Recon and so is Felis/Risa. I'm not sure how I feel about that either.

3. If I decided to play another character, would you allow me to keep the rolls you rolled for me? What's your opinion on all this? Yours too, Sherwood ?

EDIT: I guess I just want to play someone who is good at fighting in a combat game, but... I want them to do more than just know how to fight?

 

[Sherwood]

I personally would prefer not to be the leader in this, since I ran the squad in the last game. Also, I see the Comms character and the Medic idea a more a support character rather than the lead.

 

[Purr]

Yeah. We've got a comm-based NPC but no medic.

If you want to go with a different concept, that is absolutely fine with me. I want to make sure you are happy with what you play.

You have all your original stats recorded on your sheet, so I have no problem with you keeping those numbers or shuffling them around a bit.
