Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Typo in your post, Nomad. It's TT, not TTK. TT is the Superheavy, TTK is the Ultraheavy. So there is not such thing as a TTK-Superheavy

Re: [RP] Operation: Deep Strike (OOC)
I'm beginning to think sensor operator was not the best choice of position... Not much to do but keep scanning and relay results to the NPC sensor analyst.

Re: [RP] Tempest Expedition (OOC)
Oh, and here's a spoiler for TheUnforsaken
SpoilerShow
Feel free to warn/inform the marines that the armor plating on and around the bridge looks heavy. And that cutting/blowing through it without fire support from the fighters or the Tempest could take days, if it's even possible.

Re: [RP] Tempest Expedition (OOC)
The station does have a bit of gravity, but it is not enough to hold orbiting bodies as big as fighters. Even so, fuel is not an issue for Wolfe and his fighters. Here's my estimate on the Storm's fuel use, if you really want to get into the crunchy details. 1 hour of routine maneuvers = 2 fuel unit...

Re: [RP] Tempest Expedition (OOC)
Okay, clarification here. Moving the game along is entirely up to you right now. I will make no further IC posts until you get to the bridge and successfully hack the station's main computer. Not unless you need some kind of response from Admiral Pire or Torret Shining Sky General spoiler Whoever me...

Re: [RP] Tempest Expedition (OOC)
sunphoenix: Go right ahead. TK-C20/TK-P10 to activate the device with electrokinesis. Or TK-C6/TK-P22 to tear the bulkhead open with raw power. Of course, you need to declare which method you are using before making your rolls. Succeed with either method, and you see the elevator platform itself abo...

Re: [RP] Tempest Expedition (OOC)
After some thought on the matter, I have decided to retcon the size of the station. It is only 300m long. The main shaft is about 140m long from top to bottom. Like most sci-fi writers, I have no sense of scale. :oops: I attribute this to the fact that I've ran many Rogue Trader/Dark Heresy games, w...

Re: [RP] Tempest Expedition (OOC)
{Blush!}..aheh...sorry about that. I was being...'creative'. Will do. I like the idea of a fatiguing thing, -1 TK: C. As for the platform barring the way is it completely unpassable or is their a maintenance hatch that could be opened to gain access to it? Oh. Wow... just saw the scale of this didn...

Re: [RP] Tempest Expedition (OOC)
There. It's done. sunphoenix, in the future please do not highlight with color. Only speech and sanzai. It makes the text annoying to read and encourages lazy people like myself to skim over it without properly paying attention. :? And yes. If the elevator platform is up then it would block your way...

Re: [RP] Tempest Expedition (OOC)
Scale retcon. Old post in spoilers Oh, one more thing. The scale of the maps. The station is roughly 1.5km from bridge to the highest point of the comm array, and the plan is to scale. That would make the full length of the main elevator what, 500-something meters? Yeah, we'll go with that. Which wo...

Re: [RP] Tempest Expedition (IC)
Stormrage and Mord After an arduous climb, Stormrage, Sgt. Aedin and Pvt. Jenkins manage to go up for about two hundred meters, when their way is blocked by a heavy emergency bulkhead, rather than the elevator platform you were expecting. Crimson Cloud unfortunately failed to maintain her focus and...

Re: [RP] Tempest Expedition (OOC)
Apologies for my lack of activity yesterday. I have not been drafted yet, but I have to go back in six months after some of my medical problems are treated. Okay. As far as game rules are concerned, Teidar amplifiers give a +1 to +5 bonus to Telekinetic Power (TK-P) and an equal penalty to Telekinet...

Re: [RP] Tempest Expedition (OOC)
Estonia, and the draft isn't city-based. The draft applies to all men above age 18. It's just that there is naturally more than one draft board in the country and everyone needs to report to the draft board closest to their home. Heck, considering Tartu is the second-biggest city in the country, I w...

This time, Sunbloom, Mord and Stormrage are going to see most of the action. To the others: Sorry I didn't have time to prepare a scenario that gave you more involvement than you have right now.

Re: [RP] Tempest Expedition (IC)
Shortly after you finish the comm and vaacum-seal checks, the launch order comes in from the bridge. The officers (Sunbloom and Stone), the Teidar and Aedin with his marines board Shuttle One and it departs from the Tempest's hangar. Thirty tense minutes later, shuttle one lands in the hanger of the...

Re: [RP] Tempest Expedition (OOC)
Since I'm still sort of working on the station layout. I intended to run the war game before the station, but you convinced me (unwittingly or not) that actual plot advance was a better idea. But nonetheless, it means I didn't have the entire picture together just yet. EDIT: I just took the time to ...
