Generation Legacy the Next Generation of OOC

[Agamon]

Yeah I have a tendency to want to put the characters through the ringer... I mean we still have a few situations where the other shoe has yet to drop... and these don't have to deal with Kelly at all.

Really? I have no idea what you're talking about.

Please blame me for some of that

Nah, I'd rather blame Ryan.

The pilot is pretty much a non-entity in this equation

I'd hate to be reduced to a 'non-entity'. Doesn't sound like fun.

Yeah this is true, and since she didn't use an ability from the array on the first attack, she just used Ryan's normal attack of +2 Bruise

See, Ryan is a complex guy...well, at least his powers are.

I think Ryan is likely to end up the one with the bruise, punching a helicopter like that.

Thank goodness for Force Fields

Gilden has it pretty bad too

His homeworld was destroyed by an evil entity, his family killed.
Making him the last of his kind.
Fell in love with an otherwordly girl, who promptly dumped him when her old 'friend' came back into the picture...
BTW he left his adopted home for said girl...

Man... he got it bad...

It changes some powers, offers new ways to build some things (which are just more generalized versions of core power constructs), and gives more example power builds and more reccomended AP effects and such-like. I think.

I know that Aura gets nerfed hard. Spaceflight can't be made into an AP - whatever, an appropriately flawed teleport is better for interstellar travel anyway. But they're optional changes.

I didn't see much point to getting it either.

Yeah, Shal, you forgot, "Was set on fire." That'll ruin anyone's day.

See, that's the upside to all the awful stuff that's happening. Compared to everything else, ordinary stuff like getting set on fire or shot by gatling guns just doesn't register. They're gonna have to do better than that.

-------------------------

Well, things are looking up for Gilden at least. New girlfriend - who can build dimensional gates to get back to his old hangout if he wants - important and rather easy job, new magic stuff courtesy of Chaos, and the chance to rebuild his home.

Now he's got something to lose.

Um, uh, um...I blame Ryan!

And, anyways, it wasn't as prompt a dumping as it looked in game. They were together about 10 times longer than she was with Ryan.

True they were together a long time, I think he even met the parents right?

 

[Hammerhead]

And Anika moved pretty fast with their relationship IYKWIMAIKTYD. But the thing is she just met Sami again, and then dumped Gilden fast. Poor Legolas.

Agamon, I have it on PDF. Its a really good book. Basically you can use it to replace the powers chapter in the main book. It has rules for power creation, and breaks down how all of the powers in the game were created. Its not a critical thing to have, but it does a heck of a lot of fleshing out of all the powers. It also adds in a bunch of powers.

I wasn't really blaming bad luck with dice rolls for all of that, really any of that, since the dice didn't cause the actions, the dice rolls are seperate from the plot. I just feel like Kelly has been through the ringer, and is on her second or possibly third trip through it. I realize she has made bad choices, but having lived through all of the events listed above, does anyone honestly think she would be thinking clearly or making good choices? Regardless of her/my lack of common sense?

I don't know, I think at a certain point someone has to pack her up and ship her to the loony bin. Because of everything that is piled on top of her, its becoming depressing to play her. The last time I mentioned it you released some of the pressure by letting Tommy and her mom out, but it was just a fix and not a solution. I don't even know what a solution to the problem would be, I mean I love playing in the game. This is my RPG fix.

I will admit it would be difficult for anyone to deal with what ha happened to her, but the other teens have been through traumatic events as well; though some have not been as personal as Kelly’s, they each have been through events that would traumatize any ‘normal’ individual.

But the teens are not normal, they are the protagonists, and have a knack for getting into trouble… or starting trouble. Kelly may have an exorbitant amount of problems, but like I have said much of it has to deal with her tendency to fly solo, or make decisions without really thinking of the consequences.

As far as Tommy and her mother are concerned, I gave Kelly an out; she decided not to take it, as questionable as it seemed, although she could have just not teleported to the United States and put her that much closer to her psychotic stalker… I added the scene with Metatron to show that not all is well in the United States and Kelly rushed in as I figured she would and got beat, by a big bad… even under normal circumstances he probably would have hurt her bad, albeit in a more drawn out fight…

I will admit that she has a lot of problems piled on her, and I was hoping that she would try to rely on her friends, instead of forming a pity party with Cassie and going deeper into her issues with the UNJE and then trying to expose their truth in the worst way possible… again alienating the very friends she claims to be trying to protect or help…

I am not sure how to fix your issue, but I will look at it.

She was rebelling against both Ryan and her faith at the time. And her relationships with Ryan and Gilden made her realize that she liked Sami as more than a friend. Without them, the idea of the her and Sami would probably have taken longer for her to figure out.
