Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to Everyone!

[kipper]

I'm going to be away from my computer for about a week and most likely unable to post during that time.

[max_vale]

Gotcha kipper, thanks for the heads up. I hope your trip is a fun/productive one!

News for the group:

We have 1 player who is about to join the game as a new character; ateno: welcome aboard sir!

We have 1 player returning to the game; Vale's player: starbeard, welcome back sir!

....and sadly, we have 1 player going on a hiatus due to personal reasons; ybn.....take care amigo and we'll keep a chair out and warm for you!

[Starbeard]

Thanks! Looking forward to jumping back in the game with young master Vale.

Take care, ybn. It's been good gaming with you in the past.

[Rex]

Hey everyone, to answer some questions; namely:

Max, would the sticks and the knife use the same skill? Does it seem to us that the knife would clearly have better damage than the sticks? Maybe the knife should go to our strongest to maximize its lethality. I am also assuming that Vale's lightsaber skill will not carry over to either weapon, but his melee parry skill will. Is that correct?


The gaffi sticks and knives both use the Melee Weapons Skill to attack and Melee Parry to block with. The gaffi stick is the club/spear/mace like weapon used by the Tusken Raiders (and Boba in the new Book of Fett show); i.e.:



In game mechanics terms it deals STR + 1D damage. The Knife is a large Knife and can't really be thrown bit as a melee weapon, it does STR +2 damage.

The Lightsaber uses its own skill which doesn't apply to other melee weapons, sorry!

I hope this helps!

[Starbeard]

Thanks! That's very clear.

[ateno]

So, I guess I get the mostly useless knife then. Ill attack by surprise.

[max_vale]

You're a Diplomat/Politician type right? You should be used to stabbing people in the back!

[Rex]

LOL

[ateno]

Honestly negotiator, but good one!

[max_vale]

Apologies for the delay.....I was over at my parents for most of the weekend and was just too drained to get a post up last night....I'll get one up tomorrow and/or Wednesday, sorry again!

[Rex]

No problem.

[max_vale]

Hey peoples! To answer a couple of the questions from the main thread:

-The bodies/skeletons are pretty evenly distributed around the pit on spikes, with a SLIGHTLY higher concentration around the middle...

-The planks that crisscross the pit are typically about 3-4 meters below the one above them....so they could be dropped down to but NOT QUITE reached just by hanging down....if that makes sense.... Kit and say; Clark could probably hold hands on different levels...but I don't think any of the rest of crew (not counting Zuul, who's not there) could....

I hope that answers the questions?

[ateno]

So is there someone I can trade a Gaffi stick for the laser weapon I found?

I will keep the knife for throwing or utility though.

[Rex]

Kit is 5D with the Blaster. She is also the medic if someone needs help.

[ateno]

That's why I did not want the helm, but I did not expect another helm right away.

[max_vale]

Yeah.....if this was in RL, I might've dragged it out a bit....but in a game where I'm lucky to get a post up a week....if I drag things out, I'll forgot about it later....

[max_vale]

Apologies that there won't be an update today (when I usually do them for my games)....but I will be out with my parents today, so I'll get a post up tomorrow......to any other Dad's out there (I know Rose is one), Happy Father's Day!

Oh...and there may be a new player joining the game soon!
