Interest in '50s supernatural noir?

Whichever - Career is probably more useful than Empathy already, that's the only reason I hesitate.

That's fine - I'll go with levels which gives Ricky which gives Ricky a starting Wealth of +9, and I'll spend some of that down later today when I update his equipment list.

Whew - I wasn't sure what was going to happen if he got alien spooge or demon ichor on his only suit!

Don't we start out with a wardrobe full of clothes? In standard d20 Modern it's assumed we have clothes, etc. Though now that I think of it, not everyone had a number of suits in the 50s. so yeah. nevermind I guess

Ricky's a clothes-horse - comes from projecting that professional image with a healthy dose of Latin machismo layered on.

Update: Ricky's as ready as I can make him - looking forward to GETTING STARTED!

Angels and Angles

Here is the play thread.

We can still use this thread for OOC things if you want - or just designate it on the play thread with

OOC: . One weird rule I would like to implement: when you make some sort of investigatory roll (mostly Search, Research, and Gather Information, but it could apply to many others) you can spend an action die to make the skill check a "Theory Roll" - and then tell me what you expect to discover. Depending on success/failure I will return one of four answers: "Yes, and" = your theory is correct and something else is revealed. "Yes, but" = you may be right, but someting unexpected is complicating things. "No, but" = your hunch is wrong, but you nevertheless may be on the right track. "No, and" = you are cold and getting colder. This should allow you to have some influence on the solution of mysteries. Your ideas will not only be as valid as mine; if they make sense to you it's probably a good idea for me to use them!

Woo-hoo! First post!



The "weird rule" sounds fine.

Will you still be allowing a third player if someone makes her/himself available?

Additional question: I flamed out on my Gather Information roll - - could I expend an AP to "take 10" instead?

Probably... no one posted so I figured I could get moving.

Don't worry about that right now.
