Triple Play [OOC]

[Mister Andersen]

You happy to allow the WoF interpretation of the contacts rules given everyone's been using them since they were posted last year?

You happy to allow the WoF interpretation of the contacts rules given everyone's been using them since they were posted last year?

In what way? That you are able to roll contact ranks together?

I don't have anything on Living Spycraft, but I love the book and the idea. I think i might have already read this adventure, but i don't remember it very well. If you still need people, I've been thinking of joining a game for a little bit. When I get back from work, I'll take a look at what I might want to play.

Check out the "People who know people" sticky on the WoF board back on the Crafty site.

Yeah I read that. It's largely a clarification, though some of it is new. I'm just curious what exact statement or convention you might be hinging on. As the crafty gang implied in the contracts thread over there, it's not formally part of the MRD yet, but a lot of it is a reasonable GM interpretation of the contact rules as they exist now, not new rules per se. Further, it could well be that by the time it matters, it will be part of the MRD anyways. (shrug)

Are you mostly interested in the duration ruling? I'll contrast the book and the WoF teaser, but so long as the book isn't contradicting the teaser, I have no problem falling back on the teaser.

If you are worried about warchest money vanishing at the end of intel phase, I would rule as discussed in the LSpy forum: the ability has to be used in intel phase, but the money doesn't vaporize when you walk out of the HQ door.

I'd be glad to have you along!

If you recall anything that might be a spoiler, you might want to PM or email me and let me know.

Still have a lot to do on the character, but right now I'm thinking Pointman. High Wisdom, Char, and Int, building up to the Tactician Class. But if you think we need someone who is more ranged combat, I could give him a better Dex and play up the combat side of things. Got called into work tomorrow, so won't be able to do much until Wed night/Thursday.

Essentially my thoughts

I'm just curious what exact statement or convention you might be hinging on. [...] Are you mostly interested in the duration ruling?

Essentially, yes. I have a partner-level contact worked out for my 1st level fixer, and all 4 levels are intel-phase only abilities such as Warchest, Gear Prep and the like. At the moment I'm considering Shrewd Icon or Serviceman as an origin (she'll be an investigator, possibly with the ability to act as team medic)

Default Actions
[sblock]Combat: Up close and personal. Bonnie likes to get in people's faces, and sitting around behind cover while being shot at is not how you win a fight. Bullrushing, Kicks and Pummels are what she's all about.
Driving: Fast. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and Bonnie prefers to smash through rather than go around.
Social: Bonnie is driven. She's got a longer fuse than she used to and tries to be tolerant, but when her frustration gets the better of her, she still hurls verbal abuse at anyone who's in her way.[/sblock]
