Re: Victorious will be next...
Not sure it you guys played, but sorry I missed it. We didn't leave the school until 1145 pm. I figured that Damon needed to set out this next episode anyways, with his injuries and wanting to become a better fighter. He would have been working on the martial artist skills that Herr Roger taught him and practicing with his newly acquired throwing knives. In the basement of Fraulein Alexandria's house so as to not disturb the good doctor or his patiences, of course. (a good way to explain the jump in attack and damage bonus I picked up when I took the martial artist skill)

Re: Victorious will be next...
You didn't miss much, though we did a lot of noncombat stuff. Went to the fair, shopped at Hunter & Hunter, Ltd. for Adamantine wesscots and corsets, and found rumors of an "Iron Man" robbing banks.

Re: Victorious will be next...
Rgr, not a lot of "action" in the session. Roger bought everyone armor from the $500 he found in Holm's office safe. Everyone got waist coats (+3 AC) & the ladies also got shield umbrellas (forgot the + to AC for them). However, with my normal roll 20 luck, they didn't have any that fit there on hand, so we will have to wait 3 weeks before they are delivered.DMMike wrote:You didn't miss much, though we did a lot of noncombat stuff.

I'd bet Tree will retcon it if you want something else in addition to the armor and say you can buy it or order it to get delivered with the armor.
The rest of the game was tracking down a rumor about a bank robbery where 1 person/ thing busted through the back wall of the bank, ripped the walk in safe open like a tin can and stole all the money. Then I (thanks to my version of The Baker St Boys) found out that it went right to the lake bank and jumped in the lake. Looking there are something like 11 banks that fit the profile of the bank that was robbed.
Oh yeah got a description from bank workers that saw someone casing the bank a few days before it was robbed.
We ended the night with me having the idea to go talk to "The Queen of Spades" and see if she has heard of anyone fitting its description in the area, and if not, let her know there is another bad actor starting to work in her little pond. Plus, because they were arses, I might mention to her the 2 "Home office" agents in the area and the book they have from Mr Holms. Maybe she can use the info to be an annoyance to them instead us for once.
So with that, I (and I assume Jean Cladue and Liam) were getting changed into tuxes to go to her cabaret. You could come too, but I'm not sure how good of a make up artist you are to get in.
While I did the investigator bit, everyone else healed up and worked on their new skills (Miss A also took Martial arts), so I assume I had been teaching you 2 and then you were polishing off your skills

Yeah, its gotten so bad for you that when I think Roll 20 is being completely biased against me, I now ask myself, "Is it as bad as it is for Tim? " and then I feel a whole lot better!

Re: Victorious will be next...
Yeah, I'm good with going to Hunters and Hunters (I definetly need better armor). I can pay for the knives myself, as they should be the general average ones. Damon would not attend the cabaret, but he would use the time to sharpen his skills new fighting skills.

Well, at the least you have a +3 waist coat. Consider it a gift from the most loyal local representative of Her Majesty
But I'm sure the time at the cabaret would be positive entertainment. If you play your cards right she may even make you an ad hoc part of the show . It will be like old times when 'The Queen of Spades' read our minds and made us her special little puppets . But this time you may get a few tips from it

Tree, I haven't been able to watch a full episode of "Legion" yet, but looking at teasers excerpts etc, I'm not sure it fits how I picture Roger's mental fight with Scima. I will give you that it is an interesting concept and will probably be a show I like, but it isn't Roger/Scima
However, .... if you watch the promo for Venom .... you have what I was going for. Well up to a point ... Venom is decidedly more forceful, more vicious, more homicidal than I picture Scima ever being. But the inner argument, the me/him/us/WE aspect is spot on!

With that, you could take over management of the hotel, advertise it as having central cool air, and run it for a profit ,,, at least in summer. I'm not sure how you could heat it during the long cold winters. At least not with your ice powers ...

BTW, I am in Ohio. My mothers Dementia has gotten pretty bad. This is likely to be the last time I see her alive, kind of bad. I will be back home by Sunday, so the only thing its really keeping me from doing is writing up Rogers nightmare. Plus I missed the Thursday night game, which would have been cancelled anyways, because others failed to show as well.

Re: Victorious will be next...
Today is my wife's Birthday. Depending on how she feels when I pick her up from her 10 hour day at work, I may be taking her out. If so, I will not be running Victorious, and apologies to Mike. That said, recall she is also a 100% Disabled Veteran, so if I do get to take her out I will be more than a little surprised. Which is why if she feels up to going, it will be all that much more special. If Rigon runs his game, I will join when I can. However, unfortunately, odds are in favor of us not going out, and my being able to run Victorious. So odds are, the Victorious game is on tonight. Just I hope it isn't.

Re: Victorious will be next...
Funny story, my wife is doing an encore of the play this Thursday night only. We took the set down before she decided to do the encore, so I have to help get it back up tonight. It is a minimalist set, so should only take a couple of hours. But, I'm not sure what time I will get home. If I am home before 9 pm EST, I can run my game. If not, I will try to post something to let you all know.

Re: Victorious will be next...
Rgr hope you all have a good night
Enjoy dinner, set setup & birthday paper grading
You know, One night I might step in and do a one off.
I don't have roll 20 or maptools so it would be theater of the mind and dice rolls old school (I'd trust you all on the rolls)
I couldn't do it tonight, but it is an option in the future (when we are down 2 DMs, or when we are down one and the other needs a break too)
So I don't have to switch gears too much from being ready for my girls make it Modern Victory, set in general this time frame, Influences (as I mentioned with my girls) will be 'Leverage' Persons of Interest' along with Sherlock Holms (book and modern BBC versions) - so a touch on the gilded side with knacks etc - but with Marvel Supers to keep it super.
I'd say try and make a character different from your real Victory character - try out a different flavor and different powers
Victory points as BtB
Intuition at rank 2 or above is a little more active than just an init effect
Probability Manipulation can be reactive but at the cost of your next action
Lightning speed does not require the high Dex as BtB, but maneuvers at speed WILL require dex checks
