The heavy air of Oendal fills my lungs from the second I wake, Alison having already slipped out to call a doctor to the room. The inn smells like stale beer and old smoke, and it still is more friendly than being on the streets, the snow outside starting to pile up to shin height.
The doctor avoids mentioning the brand Mr Johnson received on his leg, with little more than a raised eyebrow, “Broken rib...s” The doctor notes, feeling around my masters chest, “Two of them, and some internal bleeding that’s…. closed up.” He nods, “Breathing is laboured, best be careful he doesn’t get fluid in his lungs.” He reaches for a bag, forcing some liquid into the old man’s mouth. “Should help.” He nods, setting the bottle down. “Once a day.” He turns to face the three of you, “He needs to rest up, at least a fortnight. Can’t take him anywhere, not in this weather, he’d be dead before the day’s done.”
Shit.
We pay him a little extra, a silent agreement that he won’t mention the brand between us, before sending him on his way.
If we’re going to be here at least two weeks while the spook heals up, we’re going to NEED more money.
We build up the heat in his room, thinking quietly, as our new… co-dweller fusses over the spook. Sarah, she said she’s the daughter of a ‘healing woman’ more than likely her mother was a witch, who never got pulled over to use dark magic, and it seems the daughter is the same.
Still, doubt Mr Johnson- still don’t even know his full name for that matter- would like an alleged witch looking after him.
She sits back soon enough, still in pain from her fate at the hands of the church, while I try to think of a way to earn some coin, at least enough for a few days.

is it a dick move to not get involved in the plot hook if your character legitimately wouldn't? Like, your character legitimately either gives no fucks or would not want to get involved in-character?
Is it a wise move to create a character whose personality dictates they give no fucks, ultimately screwing them out of loot and experience? Sounds a bit meta, but not taking jobs or requests is kinda shooting yourself in the foot. Plus, if you have a party, and you decide not to go with them because of your character's indifference, that's just another drawback.
Why are you playing that character?
Why are you choosing to show up to a group game specifically to not be part of that group?
Why do you think anyone should have to put up with your time-wasting bullshit?

Now is this a main plotline plothook or is this a "GM got drunk and had an amazing idea" sidequest plothook?

After living with humans for thousands of years, domesticated animals like dogs and cats can identify things that possess our attention. Being natural attention whores, they insinuate themselves between you and the object, activity in question.
>>45786348
and in the case of cats they would try to destroy the object, be it a handheld console, a notebook, cellphones, glases, you name it, those assholes allways drop things from the table and I once saw my ex's cat trying to drop a glass with water on top of her notebook
The steady beep of a heart rate monitor is the first thing that enters your consciousness. It’s followed by the slow realization that something’s not quite right. When you open your eyes, you see the interior of a hospital room. Several leads trail from you to various monitors, and an IV steady drips an unknown liquid into your veins via a port on your cybernetic arm. There’s no one else in the room. How you got here is a mystery.
You work through your confusion and try to remember the last thing you were doing. Your memory is hazy at first, but it creeps back to you. You were having lunch with Aria, the CEO of Fokir and possible romantic interest. Before that… Ah, that’s right. You had spent the night before combing through the datapad Qwin, the legendary Puppetmaster, had given you. There was quite a bit of highly classified and sensitive data on it pertaining to the SCU, Fokir, and Raziel. All parties involved had something to hide, some more gruesome than others. All of it combined made “choosing a side” that much more difficult. In fact, that’s why you had met with Aria in the first place, to hear more about her side of things.
So why are you here in a hospital?

As we’re using a simplified Traveller system most rolls will be 2d6 versus a number (typically 8). In an attempt to allow the most people to participate in the rolls I let four people roll a single d6. The lowest two are then dropped and the remaining die added together with bonuses/modifiers (if applicable).
To be clear: Rolls DO NOT count until they are called for. And not every DC/Modifier will be shown. Choices with checks on them may not always be highlighted or obvious.
In the highly likely event that the Dice Gods are assholes you have the option of making a single roll result a 9. Most of the time this means an automatic success but it will come with a caveat of sorts in the narrative. It also can only be used every other session.
As a point of order, any votes which are solely motivated by sex will be ignored from this point on. Flirting is fine. Trying to mindlessly “get some” not so much. If you can’t control yourself then don’t bother voting/writing-in in the first place. Simple as that. I’m not here to write you smut.
In addition, the “waifu-factor” is a secondary or tertiary consequence rather than the main driving action in this quest. The inevitable “route lock” should happen organically and over time. Trying to force it one way or the other via a single voting period before that time is just going to end up with me having to take that choice away from the playerbase.
Thanks for sticking with me through this reboot. I’m sure there will be some bumps, so just bear with me!

You settle on trying to determine the exact moment where your memory goes dark. Aria had just given you a short monologue about how her plans for the future involved the space elevators and why she was playing things close to the chest. It was somewhat compelling, though it lacked some detail. In the process of formulating a reply, you took a bite of your sandwich. Then the room started to spin, followed by nothing.
“Someone tried to poison me?” you mutter to yourself. “Who would do such a thing, and why?”
Your empty room offers no reply. As you take another look around you find a remote lying next to you. It must be for the currently-off television up in the right corner of your room. Given that you have nothing else to do at the current moment, you turn it on. It just so happens to be set to a news channel. It’s currently a report on the latest and greatest news coming down from the space elevators, but what sticks out to you is the date. It’s two weeks since your “date” with Aria.
Before the weight of lost time sinks in, a nurse walks into your room. She takes one look at you, then smiles.
“Ah, you’re awake Mr. Weldon. Good. I’ll go and fetch the doctor.”
After about five minutes, she returns with a white-coat bearing individual with recognizable light chocolate skin.
“Welcome back to the land of the living,” says Qwin. “How do you feel?”

>its only interesting because it's novel. if adam was good instead of shit you'd put him in the tried and true side of things instead of the "fun" box.
Nasir is still interesting to me. So is, say, Cerebral Imaging. And they're not exactly new IDs anymore. Still play them. Note also that "fun" and interesting are two different things. I have a lot of fun playing Reina. I would be lying if I said I found her one of the most unique and interesting IDs.
Also: I don't think Adam is bad myself.
>>45779142
It's weird and kinda amusing to see people go from "Anarchs are shit" to "Anarchs must be nerfed into the ground" in a matter of months.
Destroying ICE is too easy and cheap. There should be more negative side effects to the runner when used.
Okay guys, I've been running Morning Star in my Adam deck but now I wonder : should I switch to Battering Ram, which would let me change my yog to a Gordian Blade ?
What advantages would handheld laser weapons have over traditional bullet-based weapons? Why would you use them?
>>45785592
Lack of recoil
Accuracy
Ammunition
Look at gurps; compare status blocks. It's fairly obvious.
>>45785592
>pinpoint accuracy
>no bullet travel time or adjusting for gravity/wind
>silent
>most likely hold more shots in a single charged battery than a conventional handgun has bullets in a magazine, but this is up for debate
>no recoil
>>45785682
Well, I'm not sure silent is quite correct (they still make a sound when boiling whatever they're hitting) but other than that, yes. You do have to contend with dispersion of the laser in atmosphere, though, which is why they would see much more usage in space.
Your character sees one of these on the horizon, heading in their direction. What do they do?
>>45785207
Don't follow the Prometheus School of Running, move out of it's path.
First, say NO.
Then, get out of there.
>>45785207
Throw it into orbit
You are a giant
A Giant that's really good at tinkering and building shit from scratch
You and your people have a massive Scrap yard where you've made a deal with the humans to take their junk.
The junk ranges from various construction tools, vehicles, car parts, etc
You catch word of Goblins having joined forces with some Ogres and some enslaved Trolls and they are marching on your village as part of their war path into the human cities.
What do you build to outfit you and your village for the upcoming assault as you have to wait for the humans to mount up and ge there to back you up.
For particulars, you and your people are roughly 15 feet tall and fairly muscular and powerful sorts similar in shape to regular humans and are pretty resiliant even without armor.
The Trolls are equvilent size and the Ogres only slightly smaller at around 8 to 10 feet and the largest. The Trolls are animalistic and have to be lead into battle where they are let loose to slaughter and eat until they are called back by their handlers.
How big/strong am I?
Make a giant scythe to literally reap death among the ranks of the army.
Wear armor so thick spears can't pierce it.
Gang up with more giant buddies and wreck the armies. No one fucks with my allies.
>>45787180
Seeing as you're the blacksmith you'd be pretty strong and probably around max hight which tops as 15 feet (but you're 17 cuz you're big and strong)
>>45787664
Alright. So lets build some outer-spiked shields, and heavy armorments.
Welcome back to RotA!

We left off in mid afternoon on the 2nd day on Earth. The option chosen was "Follow the policeman"
Thread music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ3evBfjnKw
You nod silently, and hop down from the seat. The policeman smiles and introduces himself as Junior Sergeant Polkovnik Aryemyev. He is taller than the other man, and more muscular, wearing dark grey slacks, a thick jacket of a matching color that extends to the thighs, buttoned up the front, with a broad felt collar. A black belt with a gold buckle is worn over the jacket at the waist, holding a holster for a pistol, another holster for a stun gun, a pouch for handcuffs, and other pouches presumably for mace and magazines. Atop his head sits a black ushanka with the flaps let down to cover his ears.
As you go to follow him, the other man waves goodbye at you cheerily, and leaves. The policeman leads you into the building. "It will be quicker to cut through here. Plus, you must be cold, wearing only a shirt and slacks. Where is your jacket? Your shoes? Is your father a beggar?"
'I lost them' you state plainly.
"How? Why did you even take them off? You could have died."
You pause and think for a moment. You don't want him to suspect you before he takes you to the city center. 'I tripped and fell on some ice into a shallow puddle. My jacket and shoes got wet, I did not want to wear wet clothes in the cold.'
CONT BELOW (Sorry, I like writing too much)
>>45784331
He makes a gruff "hmph" sound and nods, acquiescing. "Smart." As you've been walking alongside him, he's led you down a hallway which seems to have bisected the building. You pass an open doorway with stairs leading down into the darkness, and he suddenly reaches out and pushes you into the doorway. You were unprepared for that, and trip, falling down the stairs. "But not smart enough." he says, sadly, as he slams the door, cutting off most of the light. You fall down the stairs, a full flight, and come to a stop. You faintly hear him talking through the door before he leaves "You would have been better off freezing in the woods. It would have been less painful. I'm sorry."
A) Try to break the door down
B) Look around the basement
C) Call out to him, attempt to make him reconsider
>>45784337
>C) Call out to him, attempt to make him reconsider
If he doesn't respond,
>B) Look around the basement
>>45784337
Call him out, be prepared to slash his throat if he comes back. Or look around around for a nice jumpscare location.

You know, All the times I said I wanted a little sister when I was younger, I wasn't really being serious. I sigh as Blue looks hangs on my back, or rather head, not letting go as she kicks her legs back and forth, giggling happily as I lift her up into the air so she can see the tops of the trees blowing in the wind, and not just the muddy ground. And I mean I didn't really expect to have one that used to be a flesh hungry monster, but well, she's pretty alright I guess.
I smile happily as Poi whimpers and grabs onto my arm, trying to make me do the same with her, no doubt jealous of blue. Green just sort of watches me, making gasps of awe every now and again and nodding its head in rhythm of blue kicking her feet.
Lucy giggles happily
"You know, always thought you were a great big sister Krovy" She says teasingly as I set Blue down, who scuttles over to Berry to see what she's doing with her Rapier, being followed by poi
"Yeah, next thing you'll know she'll be giving her dating advice" Minor giggles happily
"....that's a horrible mental image" Smiley says meakly "I mean not I...forget it, just thinking out loud"
"Ah yes, Light's edge" thunder says suddenly, looking up from his corner of the cart "I remember it, my old queen led a raid against it once, I wonder if it's still as horrible as I remember it to be"
"You know I almost forgot you used to be a normal hiver" Berry sighs shaking her head "But I'm sure it isn't as bad as you remember"
"Nope, it's a real fucking shit hole" Sam says angrily "for once I agree with the old fart, don't like the place"
"And here I thought humans respected their elders" Thunder says, wheezing as he slowly stands up, wincing as he holds onto his knees
