OOC Game Play Discussion
Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
I've had Alamy step in with her lie; if someone wants to corroborate, we'll get the boost die; I can roll it in the morning.

Come on guys, BA had this, why everyone gotta bump in on his moment of greatness
Give me about 5 minutes after a post, I'll probably edit it a bit before it is finalized.

Still nothing stopping him from simply bashing the droid over the head (especially if this roll goes poorly)!Doctor Who wrote: ↑Wed Aug 22, 2018 2:22 amCome on guys, BA had this, why everyone gotta bump in on his moment of greatness

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
That makes sense to me. We've got both Anjali and Alamy chiming in now. Alamy can take the roll.DeepSpacer wrote: ↑Wed Aug 22, 2018 1:57 amI see it like it plays out on TV, movies, or cartoons. The group gets busted, the uncharismatic strongman make a clumsy (first) attempt to come up with an excuse, and then the smooth-talker steps in and says, "What he meant was..."
Rather than a boost, I would rather see a second roll with a boost from either Monty or Alamy (or, a combined check) if they can weave in an IC that reasonably supports the story. Adding setback for BA's clumsy attempt. I don't usually permit a second try, but it fits the narrative well.
Net Difficulty D + SS (one for situation, one for failed attempt).
Combined Deception check:
- Alamy has YYGG, Anjali has YGG
+1 Boost if another narratively supports the story.
Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
That's true; Anjali's already helped. Here's the roll:
AAA; Alpha Squad; Deception check:
0 Success, 1 Threat
Hahaha! About as terrible as that roll could have gone. Cue bashing skulls.

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
I wasn't even going to ASK, but given the way things are going, I think we'll roll initiative anyways! This little droid might get the drop on us all! With this kind of luck, the droid's likely to roll double successes in Init.
SHEESH!!!!
NPC; A-Squad; Maid Droid Initiative:
3 Successes, 0 Advantage

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
AAA; Alpha Squad; Cool check (initiative):
3 Successes, 1 Advantage
That should be enough at least to give us the jump on the droid!

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
Okay, someone can go first by taking the first initiative slot.(Likely BA)
Actually....two PC's get to go.
Monty; A-Squad; Initiative:
5 Successes, 1 Advantage

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
Is that comlink affixed to the counter, or is it loose (like handheld)? Anjali will prep an action to use Force: Move to bring it to her before the droid gets to it, if possible.
Also, I think we should set to stun, to keep the charade as long as possible. We might be able to memory wipe the droid.

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
Looks like Alamy swiped the stand-alone comlink. I was afraid two PC's would try to physically restrain the droid....and fail.
Looks like disabling and possibly reprogramming is possible. Brawl and some sort of Computers check, I imagine. Will look it up later.

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
Yeah, I figured the simplest thing to do would be to get to the comlink before the droid could and get it out of reach. That said, there's nothing to say there are no other comlinks the droid could get, so detaining the droid in some way is probably a good idea. I also like the idea of reprogramming the droid to be our own personal mole!

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
I hadn't thought of the "mole" idea. Cool! I will have to look up info on reprogramming when I get the chance. (Others are welcome to volunteer what they know.)SavageBob wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 7:55 pmYeah, I figured the simplest thing to do would be to get to the comlink before the droid could and get it out of reach.

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
Maybe the big nikto can grapple it and pin to the ground. Do these things have an "off" switch? (maybe my character would know....)

I'll take a turn.
What is the difficulty of the (I assume) athletics check to hold the robot down?

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
Yes, I would think so.
I'd think it was an opposed brawn check, but to shorten it up I'd think one diff (D) is just the same. Brawn is (1).Doctor Who wrote: ↑Fri Aug 24, 2018 2:09 amWhat is the difficulty of the (I assume) athletics check to hold the robot down?
Mind Wipe? Reprogram? I am thinking AVG for each? Two rolls. I read something about opposed Computer skills, but I generally prefer a set difficulty for PBP play. Droid has INT (2), so AVG makes sense to me. One check for each skill, if we get to that. I'd also take significant time to do so. Any suggestions?
Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
I'm thinking Anjali would divert her time to the mind wipe and reprogram, and let the others search the house.

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
Sounds good. You can narrate it as such. It'd take a few minutes, or more. Got any tools? None in the domicile unless one flips a LS DP for them.
EASY (D) Mechanics to access (+ Setback for no tool kit) ....Mental Tools Talent???
AVG (DD) Computers: Mind Wipe (+ Setback for no tool kit)
AVG (DD) Computers: Reprogram (+ Setback, for no tool kit)
Meanwhile....the others search the place.
A GROUP Perception check is needed to find something especially difficult to find.
Looks like Alamy's roll (YYGG) + 2 Boosts for Monty & BA + 1 Boost for taking your time.
*Forensic Investigation Kit (Rarity 4, Enc 4; + 1 Success on Perception checks to spot or gather evidence)*
Difficulty (5D) (A Bith Shift Coffer)
Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
Is the idea to do one more check for the remainder of the flat, or do you still want us to indicate where we want to search specifically? We've covered the cabinet and the table, but there are other areas we haven't looked at yet.

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
Ok, let's see. Anjali has Mental Tools talent, slicer gear, dataspike, and datapad. I think that could be sufficient as tools for these tasks, though I would say not having tools increases the difficulty, not just add setback. Also, I think reprogramming should be harder than mind wipe, so how about we make that a HARD (DDD) check.DeepSpacer wrote: ↑Fri Aug 24, 2018 10:09 pmSounds good. You can narrate it as such.

She'll get to work on this. I'll use advantages/threats to pass boosts/setbacks to the rolls that follow.
Mechanics roll to access. Good start, will pass 1 boost to the next roll.

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
MASTERFUL!!! Certainly not what the dice-roller has been spitting out recently!
This will take some time to do, allowing the others to complete their search.

Re: OOC Game Play Discussion
AAA; Alpha Squad; Perception check:
4 Successes, 1 Advantage
1 Success(es) added from talents or equipment
That's about as well as a 5D roll could have gone, I suppose! Maybe the 1 Advantage turns up something embarrassing to Greckel but not directly related to our investigation, like a doctored tax form or a collection of Nikto erotic cinema.
