Re: OOC Discussion

Sorry for the delay posting. I don't expect GM posting to be this slow going forward.

Re: Scroll 1 - The Master Craftsman's Tea Vessel

Jinsei quietly goes over the wall, crosses the short way to the mansion's outer wall, and takes position under the master bedroom's floor. Minoru follows right after, crosses, and uses is climbing pole to ascend onto the mansion's roof. They see the dog trot past the round the corner of walls to the...

Re: Chapter IV - Comancheria (Charlie & Ezekiel)

Sorry for the delay posting. I'll try to speed things up going forward. The scouts recall that the wagon master said that the train would move as quickly as it could to water for the livestock, then circle the wagons and wait for the Army.

Re: Paladin - Have Gun, Will Travel

At Long range, the wound location can't be moved. Regarding need a make a Strength check to stay on a horse after getting hit, we'll again stay with the RAW. I don't see a rule for that, so we'll go with when Strength reaches 0, the unconscious rider falls off the horse. After the latest hit Turn 1...

Re: House Rules

Sniping The sniping rules are a little unclear and confusing. The sniping modifier applies only if the shooter's weapon is resting on a solid support: a rock or window ledge, for example, or even across the saddle of a standing horse. This bonus only applies to the first shot, however. If that shot...

Re: Paladin - Have Gun, Will Travel

I considered that it hasn't turned into a "general gunfight" here yet too. Here are some thoughts about what the rule may intend. a) The first shot is sniping because it's unexpected and coming from an unseen shooter. If that's the case, then the other shots wouldn't be sniping, because t...

Re: Chapter 25: Tooth and Claw

Torix touches his spear's tip to the earth to indicate his peaceful intention. He says in Pictish to the Raven clan woman-shaman, Greetings, and peace to you. My name is Torix, of the Panther clan. Our clans are at peace, as you know. I am traveling on a spear quest, before returning to my village ...

Re: Law of the Gun OOC

This will enable one shot before the target goes medium range (assuming continued movement) which will incur more negative modifiers for Paladin. I’ll hold on rolls to keep the sequence, though movement comes at end of Turn. I am really confused by this, and I want to ensure I understand the rules ...

Homely and humble Theo is about overwhelmed with emotion at Alordan's offer of the gift of his sword and the chainmail. Nobody has much gifted him anything since his kindly granny used to give him hot cross buns. Thank you, Alordan, he says. Without further ado, he begins unbuckling his ordinary (bu...

Re: Paladin - Have Gun, Will Travel

Paladin feeds one shell past the rifle's spring-loaded loading plate into the receiver, cocks the lever, and takes aim at the galloping rider. The range is the same, because as you said, movement happens after shooting. GM error during previous turns: Per p. 25 of the rules, in this situation the sn...
