Edit: By the way CM, I have tried to Private Message you but it says your Messages are full.

 
It should be empty now.

Cool man. I ran out of likes already. Anyways, I am reading up on last night's (from my point of view) updates.

[TechCaptain]

Now it seems just time for everyone to cross which looks like shouldn't be too hard.

Yeah, I'm just waiting on everyone else to post or for CM to tell me the target number I need to roll under...

Fair, I think the only other player to post is Lughead's player. His last log in was April 23, 2020 so should be around. I am guessing most of the others that Scarlet listed are NPCs.

Stims is a player as is Lughead.

 

Beren (Stims and cohort Wild Eyes) have been fairly active...

 

Fenrykus (Lughead and cohort Walker) have only posted once so far, but with everything going on in the world, perhaps their attention is else where.

 

As for me with Scarlett, I have a lot of time on my hands during my work day (advantages of being one of the bosses with my own office) with the current state of affairs of the world not a lot is happening at my job right now, so I can be fairly active on here.

[Beren]

There's a possibility that Lughead'll break the ropes and we have to pass a collective strength test to pull him up. 

[Steel Company]

That is a concern... that why I was thinking of having him scale the rock face. He should have an advantage in it thanks to the stat being STR (even cut in half if untrained in it)...

[TechCaptain]

Fair, I have a lot of time on my hands and not a lot of time on my hands.

I work as an Engineer on Satellites. I spend most my time doing monitoring tasks which means I have to be at work but besides watching a bunch of points there is nothing really else for me to be doing usually. (Unless something breaks and we try to make sure that doesn't happen.)

The distinctions between Only War and the earlier FFG games are quite subtle, so please don't hesitate to point out where I get things wrong. The way in which Wounds vs Damage are explained tripped me up here! 

[Steel Company]

Post is up, looks like Scarlett is going on 8.

[Beren]

Looks like our flank of the fight had better opening luck than yours, Steel. Though given that Stimms rolled pretty low on initiative, he may yet take damage before he can get to cover.

 

Oh, the rest of us are going to have to climb it now, good thing Whisper went first.

 

Also, Molotov, you've put K twice, and I'm pretty sure the one on the right is supposed to be W for Whisper.

Well to be fair, only Scarlett actually took damage... but I got a high roll for initiative with an 8.... Should be interesting to see how this shakes out.

[TechCaptain]

Oh ho. Ambush love it. Them sneaky gitz prolly were wearin purple. Good luck to the fighters my the odds be in your favor.

That's why I moved Scarlett into cover right away, it should improve my odds of making it out of the ambush.

[TechCaptain]

There be only for boyz so far, you outnumber them gitz. But the sound of battle will draw more if ya don’t hurry.

[TechCaptain]

Sneaky, sneaky. I spy prey.... *from a elevated hidden position a few quick shots to take down a ork boy*............. lol

[Steel Company]

Poor Scarlett is really missing her carapace and hot-shot las-gun right now...

[TechCaptain]

Glitch will be missing his carapace with layered Flak outfit and whisper hotshot.

[TechCaptain]

Checking in here since it’s been awhile.

[Steel Company]

To be fair Tech, there has been a major development in Blackthron, so CM (and to a vastly lesser extent so have I) been busy over there.

[Commissar Molotov]

In truth, this game hasn't really progressed in the way that I wanted. There has been limited uptake in terms of player count, and it's clear that I have over-stretched myself in trying to bring some versatility and dynamism to this sub-forum. I'm not in the greatest situation mentally at the moment, and with only limited energy and enthusiasm it has toward my Deathwatch game - which is moving towards plots that I have spent 3+ years putting together.

If another GM wanted to take over this game, I would be happy to share my notes; otherwise, this thread should probably not continue.

Please, if possible, don't reply here. The larger issues should likely be directed towards Mazer Rackham's thread here - this board needs more players, but it also needs more GMs who are willing to devote their time and energy toward crafting interesting tales for players to take part in.
