OK, like a bonehead I managed to accidentally delete the previous thread. However, I managed to save what I had in my cache.

Perfect! It'll add a great personality to our nerd.

Goofball.

Okay, we've got Soontir, Innocent, and Dalton. Marcao had better show up, now what about comrade Galkin?

As of right now, March 18th, saturday, is the day in question.

Sidenote to Galkin, there are trains that run from Guttenberg to Hoboken (just not past midnight).

Work progresses apace on the following:
-Alien Weapons and Technology
-Research and Operation Gear

Still on the To-Do Pile
-Full Vehicle Stats for:
*Tel'tac
*Death Glider
*Al'kesh
*F-302

On the "When I get to it pile"
-Light Ha'tak (+Anubis Upgrade)
-Heavy Ha'tak (+Anubis Upgrade)
-X-303/BC-303
-Belisnir
-O'Neill

Marcao has indicated he will be there, leaving just fgalkin to join us in our nerdiness for the 18th.

A quick update because some people might find this fun. They're modelled after the DPV/FAV that the SEALs use:

Vehicle: Gate Assault Vehicle
Size: 3
Armor: 4
Manuever: -1
MP: 7 (combat) 14 (top)
Deployment: 330
Crew: 3

Perks/Flaws:
Communications 0/10km
Easy to Modify (FireCon)
Low Profile
Off-Road Ability
Exposed Crew

Systems:
M-60
Acc 0 DM x2 BR 1 RoF 3 Ammo 100 Forward Arc
Ma Deuce
Acc 0 DM x3 BR 2 RoF 3 Ammo 100 Forward Arc

Final Threat Value: 224

With Carvin Marvin on the Ma Duece and I on the M60, we shall reign carnaged against any Jaffa we meet.

It's a nice ride, fast, well-armed, and with a good range. However, it's very lightly armored and is completely open-topped. A single staff blast will cause light damage or hit the crew directly.

It's also going to be requisitioned by resource points, much like Tel'tac transportation, reserving the Prometheus and so on.

I don't suppose we could go on a quick "steal the shuttle" type mission to get a tel'tac instead?

I want to take over a Hatak. I demand a mission to take over a Hatak.

Have a very nice day.

Rewards from previous games are as follows:

4 XP
2 GP

The GP are added to the renewable GP at the start of the next game, but are not renewable. However, you will use renewable GP first, so unless you spend more than 3 GP this next session, you'll get to hang on to them.

XP can be converted to Emergency Dice in-game if needed.

Skills can only be increased one level, so 0 to 1, 1 to 2, or 2 to 3.

Any perks that you want to increase or purchase will have to be cleared by me first. For the moment, I'm putting a lockdown on rank and Gear/Resources.

I've also procured some nifty folders to allow for easy management of character sheets, gear lists, and mission reports.

The updated conversion with full gear list will be posted later this week or early next week.

You know, I could get stealth...
Nah!

Oh, and before I forget, here are the costs:

Skill Levels
Untrained -> Level 1 = 1 XP
Level 1 -> Level 2 = 4 XP
Level 2 -> Level 3 = 9 XP
Level 3 -> Level 4 = 16 XP

Complexity Levels
Complexity 1 -> Complexity 2 = 4 XP
Complexity 2 -> Complexity 3 = 9 XP

Complexity 1 comes free with skill level 1.

Specializations cost 5 points each.

So I could get 2, 1 in stealth, though I have had my eye on Seduction

I fail to see how "Seduction" contributes to our overall ability at Demolitions.

I can use it to get more explosives from the quartermaster

Oh, by the way, Zero-G has been changed from a skill into a Perk. The perk costs 2 points, and is specific to various environments, such a zero-g, underwater, rotating stations, and so on. Each version of the perk costs 2 points. If you don't have the perk, you take a -2 to all checks in that situation.

It's not likely to be critical for this game, but just so everyone knows.

Gentlemen, our unit patch.

Sweet

Just wondering if perhaps the next meet will have a thread encompassing a better title stating the area we are at. We had two people, one of them Armourpierce I believe saying in the last thread they'd gladly come and join our explosive team. So perhaps next time we can pick up more people to play as to have it more the merrier?

We're building an army!

I'd be happy to have more people come and play when the mood strikes. If we get enough people, we could run as two teams on joint operations.

I'll scan through the previous threads, see what turns up.

Edit: Didn't see anything from Armorpierce in previous threads, though Ace Pace has indicated significant interest in showing up when he gets the chance. Steve also showed interest in showing up for I-Con, which indicates some intrest. Ghost Rider might be another possibility.

In any case, if anyone wants to join in, just send me a PM or IM and we can work out the details.

Oopse, they were in the member's pic commentary thread; Tinkerbell and ArmorPierce. They were commenting about it being at Bernardsville though so I'm not sure if they would come to Stevens.

If I come to one of these, it would have to be Summertime. Literally the only free time I have given I work weekends from March-May....and a bit into June.

Well, I've sent them both PMs, so hey, the more the merrier.

GR: That's fine, there will likely be plenty of potential times in the summer.
