[QUOTE=Rents;47224753]Battletech is kinda bad for taking a lot of dice as well, a lot of people use a box of death if they're fielding something with a shitload of LRMs.

You call that a lot of dice? Try playing Orks in 40k at 2k+ points, I did an Apoc event once using my army, and some stuff I borrowed from friends, had about 7.5k points on the board, got to roll a literal bucket of dice when I charged a platoon of Imperial Guard Conscripts with a Green Tide.
Ahahahaha first session of my xcom game, the very first roll of the campaign:
A sectoid rolling a critical hit against one of the players. He survived, but still perfect.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure there's upper guts and chest too, so lower guts was like hitting them below the belt.

it's like hitting them right above/at the belt

Do you really want people singing "shot through the heart, and you're to blame, darling you give love a bad name" every attack round?

That box is for one unit.

Who needs one unit when you can have 100+ Orks charging into combat together?

When every one of them takes that many dice.

Have the game take so long that you literally outlive your opponant. The perfect strategy.
[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;47231431]Have the game take so long that you literally outlive your opponant. The perfect strategy.[/QUOTE]
That only works if your opponent is older/less healthy than you.
Unless you poison 'em or something, but that isn't really 'outliving' them.
So we finally entered the first combat of the Only War campaign. I got shot in the face by a Gretchin for 3 damage (thank god for my Carapace helmet), and now I have a wicked scar across my cheek.
So in last night's game, we discovered we'd been missing for 9 months, and robot us's were living our lives for us while we were gone and doing a better job at it than we were. And... we're probably going to let keep doing it so we can adventure in peace/not ruin our families.
So in the campaign I'm playing with friends, my last character died and I'm gonna roll with some sort of elf magic knight.
I don't want her to be a stereotypical tree hugging elf cliché though, and I'm unsure what else could fit in a setting where the overarching theme is basically "the old makes way for the new, and industrialized burgher nation-states are replacing the rural aristocratic kingdoms of old". I mean I could play against her type and be super excited about the approaching industrial age but that'd fit more for a gadgeteer of sorts than a knight who weaves spells into her attacks.
Maybe I should push the magic angle more than the elf angle? But even then she'd be mostly mopey at factories replacing the jobs wizards had before.
e: vv My previous character was like that. He was a petty nobleman who struggled with the end of the era and tried to fuck over the peasants and burghers if it helped other noblemen. He naturally got played like a fiddle by everyone. Alas, poor Valère.
You could play her off as a Don Quixote style character, denying the progress and pretending that it's still the age of Chivalry.
Playing Only War and on the first combat of the game, my character got shot in the side of the face and has a wicked scar across his face.
I haven't even gotten to shoot yet :v:

You were shot by a green equivalent of a 9 year old with a flintlock. No excuses, just shame.
I've had a shitty work week this week, and now the pathfinder group I was in had to cancel their session tonight because of the weather :C
This week has not been good to me.
This session of Shadowrun weeeee... stabbed a dude who was handcuffed to a chair.
That's it.
Like, fatally? Or just an encouragement stab?
[QUOTE=DarkMonkey;47234149]Like, fatally? Or just an encouragement stab?[/QUOTE]
The first few were encouragement stabs I swear
[QUOTE=DarkMonkey;47234149]Like, fatally? Or just an encouragement stab?[/QUOTE]
Nah, a couple of encouragement gunshots, then Cro got irritated and stabbed him to death.
which is why you should never let shadowrunners interrogate someone
hey we had him on the ropes when I was puking venom up for him
it was less interrogation, more murder
My idea was cutting his cyberlimbs off with a welding torch, but my character was asleep for it.
we're kind of bad people
don't worry, you can't have made mistakes as terrible as the ones we made yesterday
the long and short of it is that we may or may not have unwittingly released artificial foxdie across the while wireless network, of which any electronics are soon to be subject to severe malfunctioning and eventually code death.
also known as the end of modern society as we know it, as all databases and infrastructure goes down
whoops :v:

it's already happened twice
also it's unlikely to do much permanent damage, really. not only are there many safeties in place for just that kind of situation, but every grid is entirely seperate. at most you'll down one of the grids for a few months
[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;47236847]we're kind of bad people[/QUOTE]
Nah, he killed the guy paying us mad cash and then threw a grenade at us, totally justified.
"Interrogations" in any RPG never go well, though in my group it did spawn the line: "He didn't die of torture. It was the murder," after a guy who faithfully answered our questions got kicked into jet exhaust.
