[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;40343798]Well a lot of people say they like Shadowrun, so I guess there's no harm in checking it o- OH GOD WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BOOKS[/QUOTE]It gets better, in some cases three pounds of dice is not enough for one check. [editline]19th April 2013[/editline] I suggest playing it digitally unless you have a dice factory next door.

[editline]19th April 2013[/editline] I suggest playing it digitally unless you have a dice factory next door.[/QUOTE] I bought the pound of dice, and it came with about ~20 d6s. If you just pool them all together you should be fine. You don't even have to roll them all at once, if you don't have enough you can just remember what you got and reroll some.

[QUOTE=Rents;40318141]Fallout, I [I]accidentally[/I] nuked Chicago, ending the campaign.[/QUOTE] How the hell do you accidentally nuke a city? :v:

[QUOTE=Alice3173;40346781]How the hell do you accidentally nuke a city? :v:[/QUOTE] Roll a 1

[QUOTE=Alice3173;40346781]How the hell do you accidentally nuke a city? :v:[/QUOTE] Very carefully.

[QUOTE=Alice3173;40346781]How the hell do you accidentally nuke a city? :v:[/QUOTE] Trying to take bombs off a bomber's rack, rolled two crit failures in a row.

[QUOTE=Alice3173;40346781]How the hell do you accidentally nuke a city? :v:[/QUOTE] IIRC Nerts has some... history with explosive accidents in PNP games. And he did accidentally kill one of our party members with a 40 mm nade a while before that, so I guess it was just natural progression :v:

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. [editline]19th April 2013[/editline] All the explosions in that Shadowrun game were intentional, though, it's just that they were way bigger than intended :v:

Rents, you sound like a blast to play with.

[QUOTE=Rents;40358179]I think [url=http://1d4chan.org/wiki/The_Henderson_Scale_of_Plot_Derailment]this link[/url] would be more fitting.[/QUOTE] I'd say nuking Chicago has to be at least 2 Hendersons. I'd also say we managed [i]over[/i] that during our Hawaii campaign, after Blackbeard broke the universe.

Meanwhile Ignorum is fending off a horde of 150 demon NPC's with 10 NPC guards. This micro and macro is fun but also challenging. And to him it's seemingly enjoyable. Shit's going DOOM level.

Today in the session I DM'd: the rogue stepped in a teleport trap and was absent for everything because the player was busy, the half-orc got 1-shotted by a skinstealer, they knocked the skinstealer out and ripped off the skin of the orc he was wearing, they killed then felt sorry for an orcish sorcerer because they found a note they thought he wrote, they tortured an orcish chef, then they went to a town and raised a mob against the skinstealer and executed him at the stroke of midnight and had a huge party.

I AM SIR SMIPPLY, THE FINAL CROAK! [IMG]http://www.deviantart.com/download/288922151/grippli_alchemist_by_broken_orange-d4s0lrb.jpg[/IMG] The Band of Blades is now known all across the city for our valorous execution of that demon. [editline]20th April 2013[/editline] imagine that picture but with a sick quarterstaff with snake skin wrapped around and with 2 crab claws on either end CRABSNAKESTAFF IS DOMINATE

Order of the Cockatrice Cavalier means all of that was part of my master plan to exploit the party for my own personal fame and prestige.

hey son none of us ever claimed to be heroes i mean hell im just in it to win it, when i did that big speech to get the crowd up you gotta admit i did it right

Oh and let's not forget: the Grippli alchemist read a scroll of reduce person and then pretended to be Michigan J Frog, and when the spell ended he narrowly missed out on being choked as he pulled his head out from under a door.

and we paraded the werewolf's head around as a way of solidifying our claims. we cut off its head right as our priest walked out of the temple we were infront of, and as the bells were ringing. Ludvik, The Ashen Knight. Sir Smipply, The Final Croak Sarthaan, the Ape of Wrath. together, we are the Band of Blades

[QUOTE=PartyPoodle;40357897]I should buy him a title that says this: [URL="http://1d4chan.org/wiki/That_guy"]"I [I]accidentally[/I] nuked Chicago"[/URL][/QUOTE] He killed The Goddamn Batman. I am still pissed about it. [editline]20th April 2013[/editline] Not really but seriously don't shoot grenade launchers indoors.

I would still like to hear from the players of that game what they thought of the second version of The Lady.

Speaking of the Fallout PnP, our Nazi ghoul party member successfully climbed atop and wrangled with a line of surgical tubing a car-sized spider and got it to eat one of its own children.

So in the Call of Cthulu game I'm in, we were trying to escape an underground dungeon. We came across a deranged old man in a cage at one point who kept talking to himself and naming someone named "Scrably." The party vigilante decided to save him so we grabbed him and ran into a room of zombies. Then a Formless Spawn comes out of the corpse of a Ghast we had just killed so we start running for our lives down a corridor lined with jail cells. The old man somehow managed to get in front of the party on our mad dash through a corridor with jail cells on either side. Suddenly, a hand shoots out of one of the cells and grabs the crazy guy. The vigilante tries to save him but sees that the arm is furry and the hand is actually a claw, and decides that it wasn't worth the effort to save him. We then run into a room with a bunch of weird ass creatures in strange poses on pedestals. We run for the door and panic as we see the Formless Spawn behind us. The other, mexican, vigilante decides to throw two sticks of dynamite at it, killing it unbeknownst to us. We continue to sprint through the dungeon until we wander into the room of a little eight year old girl. At this point the old man we abandoned comes back, except he's fat as hell and then he tells us he's actually a god. He tells us the only way to exit the dungeon is to kill her and get the key that's been sewn into her, or to enter into a room with some cold ass mist. The vigilante, the mexican vigilante, and the Indian all decide to go into the room while I stay in the doorway. The door shuts and I jump back into the hall, trapping the other three party members in the room. The god then informs me that they're going to be put in suspended animation for thirty years. So I have to go back and kill the kid to get out then wait thirty years for my party members to return. It was fucking great.

Not really sure how this is going to work or what the villain will have done since then but it's sure as hell going to be interesting.

[QUOTE=Fremontsmith;40364289]Do we all get nick names or am i not considered part of the group? :v:[/QUOTE] I figured seeing as you seemed kind of shocked and embarassed when you walked out and saw us executing him, you wouldn't want to be associated with us, atleast publicly. I was just gonna come up with a cool name for you so next time we have a big public show i'll be like "AND THIS IS OUR DIVINE CHAMPION, -cool name here-" and you're like "what the hell i never agreed to this name"

My characters reaction was my own.

[QUOTE=Fremontsmith;40364289]Do we all get nick names or am i not considered part of the group? :v:[/QUOTE] It's okay we'll waste all our time arguing about it in character when we should be doing something important or spamming perception checks or something.
