    Okey Dokey Folks a few things.

    1) from this turn on im not going to post any new game turns until everyone has posted a turn in the game turns thread that way one on gets left out (cos possibly comabat is looming around the corner) or if you dont want to take a game turn this round just PM me so i know i can post up the next turn. That way everyone gets a chance to act before i do all the rolls.

    2) christmass is looming around the corner. Apart from christmas eve (doing a santa run) and obviously christmas day i will be avaiable to post up game turns or answer questions all week. (I'm off work from today for 9 days so boards access will be sporadic) so if everyone has there game turns posted up stephens day for example i'll just go ahead and post up the next turn.

    Thats it so
    Have a happy christmass to you and your family
    Your friendly neighbourhood DM

    Well Hello folks hope you all had a happy and prosperous christmas and new years!

    Now were into 2008 if you want to kick the SLA game off again just let me know once you all posted your turns on the game turn thread we'll start again

    Talk to you all soon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭AL][EN


    Apologies folks the game seems to have frozen mid session!! The christmas break probably didnt help and there's the small matter of me getting married this year too that sort of keeps getting in the way of me role playing and general boards usage altogether.

    Been really busy getting stuff organized. Id love to keep playing if people want to still play. Then by all means we'll kick the game off again.

    The only two that haven't posted in the current game turn are Qwertz and thaedyal
    if you want i can assume your going to follow the team and start a new game turn fresh again. And we can go again. But the closer it get to july the less and less i'll be able to post anything on boards. After july it will be full steam ahead again and i can play as normal.

    can you let me know if you want to keep playing.
    Cheers guys

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭AL][EN


    Righto rolling up next game turn now our blade servers had a bit of a mickey fit so turns delayed until i can fix it.

    Hang on guys , gals and stormers the next game turn is on the way


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,726 ✭✭✭qwertz


    Guys/Gal, what's the next turn going to be like? Split into two teams?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭AL][EN


    yep qwertz is right.

    who's going with who and where?

    post your game turn now and i can roll up the next game turn


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,726 ✭✭✭qwertz


    This one better not be dying like the other one did...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    Taking the stairs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭AL][EN


    As i said from the start im on boards daily i'll DM so long as there are players to play. Most BBS games really only last for so long, but the last one i ran lasted nearly a year.

    Of course the players posted almost everyday, while i dont mind how often players post as real life tends to get in the way of most RPG's im happy with the game sofar! I've had other people PM'ing me asking can they play so if people seem to think this isnt fun or its a drag just let me know i can sub them out for new players if they dont want to play anymore.

    If its a case that people want to play its just there having trouble finding the time to post. Dont worry this is a BBS game we can take all the time in the world. Im having loads of fun DM'ing again and i hope your having as much fun playing as i am DM'ing.

    If we could even aim for 2 game turns a week id actually be happy with 3 but if we could manage 2 that would be great. the reason the game seems to be on hold is because i cant post the next turn until every player posts a turn on the game turns thread, even if its just a short "im following the team leader" would do. that way everyone has a chance to do something they dont have to but it give you an opportunity every turn to do something. Once i see all players have posted anything in the game turns thread i can roll and post the next turn

    If you want to change the way we do this, then please let me know. fire me a PM or post your suggestion here. this is your game as much as mine as im more than willing to change the game for the enjoyment of the group.

    just remember post a game turn on the game turns thread and we can post the next turn.

    what does everyone think?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,044 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    sorry things got a bit screwy and i couldn't get my head in the game but I am back nwo and shoudl be posting regualrly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,726 ✭✭✭qwertz


    Since when do we have a leader? I thought we were going without one for the time being.

    For the next turn, how about two teams, one down the stairs, the other down the ramp. I don't mind either route as long as there is some shooting (and shouting) involved.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭AL][EN


    your correct my friend you dont actually have a team leader as of yet but there are one of two of you on the team that seem to be trying to take on the mantle themselves and have made some decisions for the squad made suggestions etc. Have a read back over the game turns thread and see what i mean.

    In my previous post was just an example of a what you could post in a game turn. EG "I follow the team leader/rest of the squad/voice in my head" its just so i know that you've posted thats all you needed actually do anything. Once you've posted i know i can go ahead and roll the next turn

    If you have a team leader and they do well under stressful situations i usually ease off the fear checks and break tests and the like but if your leaderless its harder DC checks for certian things. Plus no suit in SLA industries will take your squad seriously unless you have a squad leader.

    We'll see how many of you survive the first BPN and then who ever is left standing at the end can decide who is to be team leader. :D

    so out of 5 of you 2 of you have suggested splitting up the team in two! is that what you all want, who decides who goes where? sounds like a job for a squad leader ;);););)

    better hurry.... da carriens goona getcha :D

    I'd say we send the humans down the stairs and the rest of us weird creatures take the ramp.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭AL][EN


    apologies folks i ment to have the game turn posted friday but i left the turn on my work laptop over the weekend.

    The slow down is due to combat im resolving the combat turns as we speak.
    i'll have the turn posted up in a wee while

    hang in there folks the game turn is on the way


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭AL][EN


    Erm just wanted to bring something up with the group see what folks think

    Now that one of the teams have been in combat and very likely pretty soon the other team will be in combat very soon people have been/are going to get wounded.

    There are rules in the SLA Sourcebook that cover combat and one of the side effects of combat is bleeding. When you get wounded in combat you start to bleed and unless you stop the bleeding by getting medical attention you start taking more damage in subsequent turns.

    Normally this would be the case in a standard RPG game (since the game would be run live action in semi real time) but since this game is run on a form a game turn could be a week if not more (in which case if the standard rules were applied your characters will have bled to death by this coming saturday) id rather that not happen so we can do one of two things.

    1) i can heavily modify the rules for bleeding to suit this kind of gaming session

    or

    2) we just get rid of the bleeding rules altogether?

    The bleeding rules are their just to make the game more realistic so it really is up to you guys do you want the bleeding rules in the game or not?

    let me know what you guys want to do?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,044 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    Bleed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,726 ✭✭✭qwertz


    I think modified makes sense, given the time between turns.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,021 ✭✭✭Hivemind187


    Bleed ... yeah baby!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,111 ✭✭✭tba


    Redddddddddddddddd!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭AL][EN


    okey dokey i'll introduce the bleeding rules into the next game turn (that gives you all a chance to heal up now)

    im still waiting for Raphael and qwertz to post game turns and we can continue


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,044 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    ok.
