Reverb in Blue: Session 2 (OOC)

[Spiritbw]

Meshel goes for costuming and will take a quick look over the other bands stuff.

@SavageBob I seem to remember suggesting Raging Rontos as a band name when we were discussing it originally....lol

What do I need for a Leadership roll to have BD-BD take a look at Genius while he gets ready for the gig?

Yep! I've been waiting to introduce the name since we were in Session 0.

As for BD-BD, I think no Leadership check is necessary at the moment. I think Leadership is appropriate in situations when you command droids, but mostly for situations that are more tense than this one: during a performance, during a fight, etc. However, if you want him to try to repair Genius on his own, that's perfectly fine. He'll benefit from your ranks in Speaks Binary, getting to his roll. (Looks like Improved Speaks Binary will instead allow him to add on any checks you order him to assist with, so not one he does solo.)

Just have Targus order him what to do (either to help you, or to repair Genius on his own) in the IC.

[SavageBob]

@ThreeBFour, I just realized how insanely useful Improved Speaks Binary is going to be for you. It essentially doubles the amount of a droid can add to any other character's check through unskilled assistance. Since we have several droids among the NPCs, you could conceivably buff someone else's check quite a lot. If it's a task that could conceivably have three droids helping, for instance, you could get six to the check! Something to keep in mind once you're away from Gozer's anti-droid club.

[ThreeBFour]

The way I see it from Targus' point of view right now is they have to be on stage soon and he know's Genius is just in the droid equivalent of a faint. So with the droids basically in hiding Bd-BD can take his time to revive him.

[kanila]

Or have the droid assist with the makeup....

[SavageBob]

Suggestions for Raysel's ? One option is that she finishes Targus's costume and makeup in record time and can handle a third band member, but I'm open to other interpretations.

[kanila]

Sounds like a good use for the triumph for me.

[Boutrose Saba-Norr]

Gaise will move to get his make up done as well.

@SavageBob is it ok to make the first inspiring rhetoric check at this time to see if I can inspire the band for the first set?

[ThreeBFour]

Jessa knows a bit more, as well...

The band's current dancer is a Zeltron who goes by the stage name of Granari. She dated Zannel for a time when Jessa and Zan were "taking a break."

That witch!!.....
Showing outrage for Jessa's sake.

That sounds entirely appropriate. Let's say Raysel will do your makeup and costume, and that leaves you one more action, which you can use for ISR. It's totally keeping with the genre, too, if you think about other band-based fiction.

Jessa knows a bit more, as well...

Seemed like it would fit!

Incidentally, I'm open to more Knowledge checks anytime someone wants to make them. Zeltrons? Wookiees? The Raging Rontos? Kittobuck? Just let me know if y'all ever want to roll these. I just won't always call them out as options.

[ThreeBFour]

Targus is for pretty much all Knowledge checks except Education, but is willing to run through the gambit of rolls needed. I figure Xenology, Streetwise, Outer Rim, with the possibility of Underworld.

[Spiritbw]

I could do underworld checks, might say for how the Raging Rontos have been doing during the time since the anti-alien legislation passed.

[SavageBob]

@ThreeBFour, maybe pick one and I'll give you the difficulty. @Spiritbw, Underworld on the Rontos is Daunting () with . (1 each for same part of the galaxy, same sector, same planet, same city, same occupation, and for the reminders given by the instruments and logo).

Well, that was quite the dice roll. HAd to cunt twice to see how many boosts that was.

Amazing roll considering all the blanks that came up! Meshel's heard rumors that the Raging Rontos are suffering after losing a lucrative contract they had a major Nuba City casino. He can't remember the name of the casino or its owner (), but he's heard the owner of the place is supposedly feuding with Gozer. Weird that Gozer would invite his supposed rival to send a band to opening night at the Flutterplume ().

bob I accidentally posted this in character portraits somehow, I'm reposting here but could you delete that post for me.

So this is the result, I got no successes so it cant effect anyone but I got an advantage and a triumph. I'm going to look to see what I can do with all of that by checking out a chart for spending advantages and triumphs n leadership checks.

[Boutrose Saba-Norr]

@SavageBob should I have used two more boosts on my leadership roll due to Rayzel's success?

[ThreeBFour]

Targus will go with the Xenology check.

[SavageBob]

Targus will go with the Xenology check.

On Wookiees or Zeltrons? Or rontos?

Wookiees are Average (), Zeltrons are Easy ().

What were the boost and setback for? I think you just need a straight Average () check. If we ignore those two dice, you have to spend but, alas, no .

One possibility is that the affects BD-BD but not the bandmembers. He'll get on his check to fix Genius.

For the , maybe your speech is inspiring enough to one band member to upgrade their first check in the next scene?

I have no idea why I put a setback, but I had a boost because I have a skill that gives me a boost to all leadership checks. I was wondering that since this is a performance check and I have the benefit of my makeup job, if I could add two more boosts to the roll. If not that is fine and i am cool with upgrading the first players first check.

Ah, you're right about the . As for the other boosts, the performer's attire is supposed to add to "checks to perform or otherwise attract attention," but I think this isn't attracting attention per se. So I'll have to rule against that, I think.

Remind me that there's an upgrade due to our first performer in the next scene. And let me know if you'd prefer the go toward something other than boosting BD-BD.

will actually be an incomplete fact, or a forgotten tidbit, or some other penalty.

Wookiees: Targus knows they're largely an enslaved species, so perhaps the bandleader is somebody's slave?

Zeltrons: Targus knows that Zeltrons are known for being libertine revelers. They're rumored to have an uncanny ability to beguile other species, as well...
