Day 6 since the 6/23 GM post. Sir Ronith and Ashlynn are in the tracker, so we just need witty, literal, and possibly sardonic humor from our resident robot, Watcher.

Would anybody have a problem with Weiss using one of the Lynx Laser Rifles in the armoury?

I saw this sword image and immediately thought it might fit Yanso:

I like it. Thank you!

Virtus, I have a minor request (whenever you have time). This could be because I've just been traveling a lot lately and haven't been able to follow the boards as much as I do normally, but I'm having a hard time keeping track of all of the little clues you've so thoughtfully prepared. I bring this up because I've encountered something similar with other games on EU- little tidbits are easy to forget and hard to find during the months it normally takes to resolve a mystery plot.

I would therefore request something analogous to this post for the Spooks- mission notes that just summarize what we've learned so far. I suggest posting it in our adventure forum, but that way it'll help keep us (or at least me) on-task.

by **Virtus** » Thu Jul 20, 2017 7:07 am

Sounds reasonable. I will endeavour to do that this weekend, after my GM post on Friday. (not sure when in the weekend as it's going to be a nutty one for me, but sometime in there).

by **Barric Darkwind** » Sun Aug 13, 2017 4:18 am

I will be TDY until Sep 09 and will likely miss posts due to a lack of internet.

Aren't RPA allowed inside MT so long as the weapons systems are disabled? Weiss must be getting tired of just chauffeuring us around.

FYI- if you use the following option:

Code: Select all: [dice=string][/dice]

You will get the individual dice rolls.

The images in Grant's sheet have been updated.

Tips for using the repository:

First step: find picture
Second step: go to pic
Third step: open image in new tab (this is a critical step to get the correct URL)
Fourth step: copy image address

by **Ashlynn** » Mon Oct 09, 2017 11:41 am

I am Ashlynn and I updated my own images!

by **Yanso** » Tue Oct 10, 2017 5:00 am

Images all done and I also leveled Yanso up to 4.

by **Weiss** » Wed Oct 11, 2017 3:17 am

I'd altered the image address for all of Weiss' items with pictures, but I got an error.

It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image.

I also couldn't find the pic for the talismans either, though that is probably just me being dense

by **Grant Latham** » Wed Oct 11, 2017 4:25 am

If there is at least one bad image in the post you'll get this message. Remove the image tag from the images you can't find, but leave the URL. I'll upload the talisman image to the repository for everyone who needs it later today.

by **Grant Latham** » Wed Oct 11, 2017 7:05 am

Here's the Talisman image and the code for it.

by **Ronith** » Wed Oct 11, 2017 12:57 pm

With the exception of a couple pictures that don't appear to have made the transition to the repository (which I deleted), Ronith's images are all up to date as well.

by **Weiss** » Wed Oct 11, 2017 1:57 pm

All images updated

by **Beltin Delhomme** » Tue Nov 07, 2017 1:50 pm

All images updated (Beltin's sheet)

by **Watcher** » Tue Jan 02, 2018 9:23 am

I am going to be stepping away from EU for the foreseeable future. I'm putting Watcher in an inactive slot so hopefully I can bring him back sometime in the future. It was wonderful gaming with you all.

by **Weiss** » Wed Jan 03, 2018 4:11 am

Take care and hope to see you back

by **Grant Latham** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 8:39 pm

Day 4 since the last GM Post. Barracuda, Beltin, and Ronith to post.

Zoe’s Note: Please be sure to read the Haven’s description and choose a bedroom, if you haven’t done so already. Also, let me know if I need to move any gear around. Thanks! Now, let’s have a little in-town adventure!

@Ashlynn On it....i mean, DONE!!

Is there room for a dinosaur anywhere? Gonna get a dinosaur.

Just for fun, some day dreaming if we were to pull our resources to create a mercenary organization.

Sir Ronith's new title as the Lord of Granite Hall I think makes a good basis for H4H becoming something more.

Step 1: The Size and Orientation
- Minor Company (20 to 40 people). 95 points plus 10 points for equipment and 10 points for vehicles
Step 2: Mercenary Company Features
1. Sponsorship: None. Independent Operative. Add 10 points to any category (I'd think we'd be Government sponsored by the cyberknights, but the description doesn't fit for us).
2. Outfits: Utility Outfits -5 points
3. Equipment:
  - Cheap Gear -2 points
  - Medical Equipment -10 points
4. Vehicles: Fleet Cars -10 points
5. Weapons, Power Armor & Bots: Basic Weaponry -10 points
6. Communications: Secured Service -10 points
7. Internal Security: Tight -10 points
8. Permanent Bases:
  - Partial Headquarters -2 points (Heroes' Haven)
  - Fortified Headquarters -20 points (Granite Hall)
9. Intelligence Resources: Scout Detachment -5 points
10. Special Budget: Small potatoes -15 points
11. General Alignment: Scrupulous and Principled -10 points
12. Criminal Activity: None 0 points
13. Reputation/Credentials: Known -10 points
14. Salary: Pittance Salary -5 points

Total Points Available: 125
Total Points Spent: 124

The headquarters, alignment, and reputation are key components that I don't think can change (being that we are H4H). If I understand the rules for creating an organization from the EP menu, we'd need to come up with 84 EP (the 30 bonus points don't count if the minimum is 60)

Or the story might be, that Sir Ronith has been granted a destitute fiefdom that we'd need to build over time:

Step 1: The Size and Orientation
- Small Time Company or Squad. 60 points plus 10 points for vehicles 10 points for weapons
Step 2: Mercenary Company Features
1. Sponsorship: None. Independent Operative. Add 10 points to any category
2. Outfits: Utility Outfits -5 points
3. Equipment: Cheap Gear -2 points
4. Vehicles: Fleet Cars -10 points
5. Weapons, Power Armor & Bots: Basic Weaponry -10 points
6. Communications: Basic Service -2 points
7. Internal Security: Lax -2 points
8. Permanent Bases:
  - Partial Headquarters -2 points (Heroes' Haven)
  - Fortified Headquarters -20 points (Granite Hall)
9. Intelligence Resources: Scout Detachment -5 points
10. Special Budget: Nickels and Dimes -5 points
11. General Alignment: Scrupulous and Principled -10 points
12. Criminal Activity: None 0 points
13. Reputation/Credentials: Known -10 points
14. Salary: Pittance Salary -5 points

Total Points Available: 90
Total Points Spent: 88

There are 30 bonus points, which puts the total EP need to 58, but the minimum is 60 EP.

Hey if you haven't been paying attention, there is a discussion on changing how XP is awarded. Augur has put out a call for proposals to vote upon. The voting will begin on August 1. There will still be the option of keeping it as is, but you'd need to vote to make it happen. Please take the time to read and comment if you haven't already. If you don't like what you see, you can propose something!

It's day 4 since the 7/16 GM post. Only Alays and Grant have posted so far.

So how does the fortune and glory work for adventurer class?

by **Dark Lord** » Wed Nov 14, 2018 12:50 pm

I think you just roll it normally.

So I am eleigible? Dont want to roll it if not. If I am eligible would be great to collect the goodies.

by **Weiss** » Wed Nov 14, 2018 2:51 pm

Exemptions of whom can't use Fortune and glory tables are listed.

As you don't have powers, lots of bionics or cast magic, you should be fine

These could come in handy!

by **Jack McDermott** » Fri Nov 16, 2018 6:52 am

So where is the best place to record these? Would they go on the EP ledger? Or maybe the equipment sheet?

by **Dark Lord** » Fri Nov 16, 2018 7:44 am

Yeah, I think just post to the EP marketplace with a link to your dice roll post.

Dear H4H, I'd like to reiterate my excitement to rejoin whenever Virtus and the group are willing to have me back. I understand that the group is full up and that I am at the back of whatever queue there is to join this exemplary group. So I will wait as long as I need to.

by **Underguard** » Fri Sep 27, 2019 8:22 am

Hello, I am standing in as the GM until your GMs return from hiatus. I understand your team hasn't begun a mission yet, so will be likely doing a smaller "quest" that is flexible for time constraints and for the home GMs to return to and complete.

I do need the day or two to familiarize myself with the PCs and group, please feel free PM me with any pertinent PC quirks I should be aware of or anything else.

I should have a tentative going by tonight/tomorrow morning

Appreciate the volunteering.

Virtus is in the tracker for the week. I think we were just expecting a post that supported the adventure notes that should be in the gm forum, and not something that is going to send us in a different direction for the next quad.

Thank you, that was mentioned in the chat now that I remembered it. Working with that now. I'll PM Virtus.
