It's on mine as well, and for the same reasons. What most stuck with me from his first (free) version was the fencing rules. Have those been included/expanded?

T. Rawley dismounts and catches Brindle's reins. He drags hard on his cigarette and then flips it into the brush as he peers up at the strange architecture. Leading the horse toward the opening, he knocks on the building's stonework and peers into the brush on either side of the facade. OOC...

"I tell you, Miss," Rawley said, running his eyes over the strange stone work, picking out the details. "That there's pretty strange. What are we supposed to see that's stranger?" He rolled a cigarette thinking about how he'd describe this place for an article without running off his audience.

Yeah. I wouldn't be caught sober in one of those things. Aluminum can deathtrap, that thing is. That was an urban legend that every tanker that came before me swore that he'd done/seen done. I never saw it. I know it's possible, but it's extremely bad for the tank (and the autobahn). At about...

If you were Infantry, then I understand the frame of reference ('yella' for buttoning up, etc). I always respected the crunchies. I'm going to use the term 'tank' in the following, but I mean either the M1A1 (which I have the most hands-on experience with) and the Bradley. They both have very...

Huzzah! That's what I drink when I'm just going to 'have a beer.' I drink various other beers in conjunction with various other foods due to my developing theory that if you drink beer with a meal, it only tastes good with the meal's culture-of-origin. (Shiner with barbeque, Mexican beer [not...

I have a friend like that. Not that he's slept with any past girlfriends, but he's one that I wouldn't begrudge that fact. I have three friends that I would literally jump on a grenade for, and we've all been friends since around the 7th-8th grade... (20+ years). I went to war with one...

OOC: As a player, I'm concerned that Teddy couldn't spot the mysterious 'slick' thing he touched with his eyes closed, but Rawley is blissfully unaware of such and wishes to put as many miles between himself and the river of bloody frothing death as possible.

First off, I'm really enjoying the pbp game as a lurker, so I don't want to come off as a total ass, but I have issue with this statement (if I'm understanding what Ranger Rick is saying here): You shoot from the inside. It's the only way to shoot the main gun and coax, and have any chance of...

I-Robot Mini-Adventure So, my kids begged for it and this took about 2 hours to craft and 4-5 hours to run... Super fast-paced... feedback is welcome... Background: Contrary to the events of the movie, VIKI resumed control of most of the planet after Sonny, Detective Spooner, and Doctor...

Here's the one I built. It makes a pretty rudimentary statblock, and you have to monitor your cross-class skills, since I haven't built any logic in there, besides SUM...

Viki VIKI is the AI that can take control of the NS-5's via their robolink. VIKI is applied as a template to any NS-5 within 1000 feet of a transmitter. Activates Strength and Dexterity upgrade, Speed upgrade, and magnetic feet. INT Upgrade +6 Skill Progit: Jump +10, Balance +10, Tumble...

Here's a base NS-5: NS-5 - 1st Level Dedicated Ordinary (biodroid - human) (CR - 1/2) (PL6) STR 18 (STR upgrade +6) DEX 18 (DEX upgrade +4) CON - INT 13 WIS 10 CHA 5 AC: 21 (+2 Dex, +8 Duralloy Armor, +1 Class Bonus) HP: 16 Saves: +1 FORT, +4 REF, +1 Will Speed: 50 ft. (30ft - human, -10...

Carefully keeping his eyes averted from the blood-covered sergeant, Rawley turns his horse and keeps pace with Hambrick, scanning the surrounding brush for anything untoward. After a few paces he halts and waits, rubbing a hankerchief over his sweaty face. "Damn jungle," he mutters to his...

T. Rawley sits his horse and recoils the rope, taking great pains to conceal his shaking hands. Untying the knot in the middle when he reaches it, he steps Brindle over to Bill and hands him his coil. "Much obliged," he says, then calls to the group. "Who belongs to this other rope?"

Funny! I didn't realize he had a Matrix one. I used the Synthetics from his Aliens PDF because I was pressed for time. I'll have to check out Matrix. Game went well. I'll post details.

My kids have begged me for a 'I, Robot' type game, so I'm busily building some NS-5's and others. Anyone have any cool robots they want to post? Edit: I posted the quicky mini-adventure below. Fun run.

Pause? Are we paused and I just missed it? Or are we waiting on someone?

Back in 1993, I conceived of a site that had every convenience necessary to run role-playing games online. I was more leaning toward real-time chat stuff (having done some stuff like that on IRC), but with pictures, game management features, dice rollers, etc. This site is as close to my...

OOC: Next action, T. Rawley drags our limey fishing lure out of the water. Pending flavor text... "Hyah!" Rawley shouts, turning Brindle and swatting him on the rump. "Hang on, sarge!"
