OOC II

[Rex]

I have an appointment Wednesday morning (1/10) so not sure how much or if at all I will be on Wednesday before I have to go to work.

[sulldawga]

I hope the weather cooperates.

[Rex]

Hopefully. Above freezing and rain at the moment, about 8" of wet snow on the ground at my house but heading into the valley. The biggest issue is the wind. Supposed to die down later. Haven't lost power yet which is surprising with the wind so maybe not as bad as they predicted.

[sulldawga]

I got some minor flooding in my basement but that was more because I didn't clean my gutters recently. Time to get some gutter guards! Otherwise, I'll be on a ladder every weekend cleaning them out.

[Rex]

Cleaning gutters sucks. Used to do it myself but my wife won't let me on a ladder anymore so someone else does it at least.

Just making sure the next step is not mine for Beryl - I think I am waiting on equipment and the like whenever you have the time.

[Rex]

Yup. I am up next for all 3 of you. Hopefully soon.

[Rex]

Equipment is done for the new characters. Don't be afraid to ask questions. We can also make changes/substitutions or add more detail if needed.

I will try to get a background post or 2 up later.

[Rex]

Everyone should have private forums now. If they are new, please make sure you can post in them.

[sulldawga]

All good with the private forum here.

[Rex]

One background posted to the private forum. The next one will be up by the end of the week, and the last one by the end of the weekend if I stick to my current schedule.

Keep in mind your encumbrance is based on weight. Your Armor/clothing weights are modified by your size (x0.8 in your case)
Encumbrance = total weight (Armor+Weapons)/Endurance
I assume you will be dropping any backpack/side bag for combat, if not you add that in too.

We can't calculate that without you providing the weights. (It says equipment is in HarnPlayer or HarnWorld, so... different books.) Can you provide screenshot of the list?

[Rex]

Armor/clothing and weapon weights are in the combat section of the main rules. If you haven’t found it by the time I get home from work tonight I’ll get a couple of screenshots up. I am not really worried about any other weights. I can also do them for anyone who wants my help , it will just have to wait until Saturday.

One background posted to the private forum. The next one will be up by the end of the week, and the last one by the end of the weekend if I stick to my current schedule.

Another one down. Should have the last individual one up after work tonight, then a joint one tonight or Saturday. After that I should be able to get everyone rolling again by the end of the weekend or early next week at the latest.

[Rex]

Last individual private background is up. Have some errands to run and will then work on a private dual background post. Then on to posting for everyone to get us moving again. Anyone with questions on your background posts feel free to ask away, I know my writing style is not always the most understandable. To many years of writing scientific papers and almost never actual prose.

[sulldawga]

So, because I have STR 16, I get 20% more Impact on my weapons even if they are average weight? And I get 40% more Impact if they are heavy weight?

Does it make sense that I'm wearing over 100 lbs of armor and clothing?

[Rex]

Yes on all accounts.

For Str it is sort of like the D&D + to damage for high Strength.

Armor and weapon weight runs high and clothing really runs high compared to real weights in my opinion. But it works with the way encumbrance is calculated so I try not to mess with it.

Hi all new players, nice to meet you! I was away from the forum for a few weeks but have been in this campaign almost since the start.
