B-movie :Roll call : who goes where?

[DrZombie]

A few more words on the DrZombie(tm) Gamesmastering style. This is gonna be a B-movie. Allright. You've seen quite a few of them. If not, go see a few.


This means that, when you are in a living room, and something happens, dont go for:


OOC:can I take cover behind a sofa? or even worse:
OOC:I look for something to take cover behind.

Just go:

Johny blanches at the sight of XXX. With a yell, he jumps behind the sofa. On hands and knees he scrambles for the fireplace, racing to be the first to reach the firepoker.

Or

Jeeny screams at the top of her voice. She scrambles around, grabs the vase with flowers and throws it at XXX.

Go with the flow. Try not to interrupt the game too much. If you're looking for small stuff in a room where it could be somewhere, it will probably be there. If there's a kitchen, there will probably be some big kitchen knives. But you'll probably will have to search for a few rounds to get it. Try to describe it, and leave it open so I can interfere. The difference between the two actions above are : the poker will be a pretty good weapon, and you might have to struggle to get it, the vase on the other hand will probably only 'stun' the opponent for a round, and I don't really mind that.

I hope you see what I mean, and don't be intimidated or sumpthing, we'll work it out when we get there.

If you do an action, or you want to roll for something do it like this:
Spot 13=5+8 where 5 is your skill and 8 is your roll.
mention any special modifiers you have.

OK?

Let's get this started then.

OK! I finished up Stephanie's background. I put her as being the one that asked Rod along, since he is kind of out of the group's normal social circle. No girlfriend/boyfriend stuff, though.

 

[Bront]

Ok, I did the final tweeks to my character sheet Added some basic equipment (nothing strange or unfitting, and left some big thigns behind) and did all the math.

Zantriel, from the intro you've noticed that I'm farting around with your background a bit. Your father died a few years ago, uncle Roger has been a kind of substitute father for you, someone you could allways turn to. He's got no children of his own, so he kinda thinks of you as "his" son. Ok?

No problem, I still need to finish is background anyways.

 

[DrZombie]

OK, guys, we're gonna get this trip on the road. Jennileerose can stil jump in at watercreeck town, before you head to the dirt track.

I like the ingame chatter, and I'm a bit hesitant to cut in. Either decide amongst yourselves ingame to start the trip, or let me know here if you want me to go for the "cut-scene" to get you started. It'll be a short road-movie before we get to the slaughterhouse cabin.

 

[Bront]

I'll flag Jennilee down. She just got a new 3rd shift job, so her availability hasn't been the best.

Allright, spot check please.

Spot 25+, Nat 20:

Try to wait reacting untill several people have posted their spot result.

 

[Bobitron]

Steph gets a 6.

I like how you edited Spot check into the title, Dr. Makes it easy to see my attention is needed.
