Re: MILLION CREDIT COMM JOB

Mick:
Good thinking Herbie. We don't want to overdose the little ones, or underdose mamma. Is the gas grenade any safer?

Re: Chapter 4: Strange Pursuit

Not so much on the orienteering Observation (15): [1d20]=3 DT will look for an opportunity to ride alongside Gidean, put his hand on his elbow, look him in the eye and say: I understand the obligation to take care of the situation when one's own goes bad. This can't be easy. I'm nervous too, but I c...

Re: MILLION CREDIT COMM JOB

Would make sense to get some a night’s sleep then go feed mamma Wolverine to tryptophan.

Re: House Rules

That all makes sense. I think the term “General Gunfight” indicates anyone taking or potentially taking fire…from any other adversary. It would also stand to reason that a shooter who has to reposition a weapon should not be permitted to snipe in that same round. Sniping, by definition, is a very ca...

Re: Chapter 4: Strange Pursuit

DT: You make good points Gid and Andreas. We know the way there. The Bland’s could have some info we could use. But I doubt it would be of any greater value than what we could glean through observation. Doos, ya still got your binoculars handy? I have my telescope. We ought to be able to spend the a...

Re: Chapter 4: Strange Pursuit

Upon seeing Andreas, DT says: Man, aren’t you a sight for sore eyes! Glad you made it to the big event. You ok? You’ll have to tell us about your night. This here’s Mr Louis Bouchard and his boys Mark and Steven. Gentlemen, Andreas Larson…our tracker. At the mention of sending Mark to have his mothe...

Re: Chapter 4: Strange Pursuit

DT will piggy back on William’s request as he has 1 can o’ beans left.

Should’ve shot a deer while we were moving so slowly on the tracking.

Re: Chapter 4: Strange Pursuit

DT pairs off with one of the Bouchard, grabs a spade and post-hole digger, sets to work trying to get as much accomplished in two hours as possible. At about the two hour point he’ll scan for Andreas. If he doesn’t see him, he’ll propose the saddle up and move out… (It should be about 9:30am- around...

Re: Law of the Gun OOC

I’m not inclined to backward in time and retroactively alter events/storyline. I just wanted clarification since I was left really scratching my nugget.

I was so new to the rules/game when we did the Austin Shooting Contest that I didn’t catch this before.

Re: Law of the Gun OOC

Love the game...and your game...hate the book's layout. But that's typical of early TSR rulebooks. They were written before modern word processors. It took a lot to reformat text and images. Questions to ask yourself for range bands: 1) What is the range between 2 yards and whatever is listed in the...

Shootable or edible in meat…either works.

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 ...

Re: Chapter 4: Strange Pursuit

DT: DT will pitch in with the pre-breakfast chores. During which, he will propose: I think we should wait here for Andreas for maybe and hour longer. If he’s on the move again at daybreak he’ll have around two hours to catch us…should be plenty. He'll either have come across the trail of the gang on...

Re: Chapter 4: Strange Pursuit

Upon entering the house, DT removes his cross-draw gun belt and hangs it from either the coat hanger (if there is room) or on the back of his chair. He graciously thanks the lady of the house and her daughters for the food and hospitality. He would look to Doos and William to tell the story of the h...

Well Mark, I was a US Cavalry Doctor stationed with the Buffalo Soldiers...the 9th Cavalry Regiment...mostly out in the forts of West Texas.

Re: Chapter 4: Strange Pursuit

DT follows Doos’ lead. He turns to Louis and says: That’s right kind of you Mr Bouchard. I do have three conditions though. First, once we settle the mounts and lay out our things to dry, you put us to work doing something that needs doing on your ranch with the last minutes of light. I’d be happy t...

Re: Chapter 4: Strange Pursuit

DT looks to the sky and, considering Bouchard’s words, looks to his friends for a nod or words of assent that it might be wise to remain here for the night.

Accepting Mr Bouchard’s hospitality might help Andreas find and catch up to us.
