Mhm thanks!
I am so looking forward to being on the mend, this last couple of months has sucked!
And you will all be happy to know that I have in my hands Part 2 of our piratical AP so I can foreshadow as opportunity permits and keep us in good stead for the long haul!

Hassan did you just....Sim Sim Salabim the NPC?...okay Hadji I'll let Johnny know you got trapped on a pirate ship ;p
Wow. that totally explains why I had a sudden compulsion to pull out my Original Jonny Quest DVD collection. unfortunately, I missed the remake, but I've always been a fan of the original. thoroughly un-PC and hysterical. anyone remember Race Bannon's 'special' friend, sexy spy Jade?

OMG Jade!!! I had so forgotten about that!!! I loved the original series...Race was always so cool...but I suspected something going on between him and the Professor...lol
yeah, Race was far too sexy to be limited to just one gender...or species really ;p
Hey I found a really awesome pirate song site I thought I'd share here

Combination of both. Weekends are hard enough for me to post just due to being out of the house and baby wrangling and THEN add the fact that I am starting to get sick again...in the middle of a course of antibiotics no less, and here we are. I'll have us up to speed today.
PirateDevon |
Rough. I'm working on a variety of things and with as much rest as a listless toddler affords me I am slowly climbing out of this sinkhole of endless shitty health but it is hard going. I'm getting better but it is taking a long long time. Which probably proves I am suffering from some lingering long term viral infection but to "confirm" that I would have to throw down money I don't have on a chest x-ray which I am trying to avoid if I keep making even minimal progress.

Well my hippie friend I am working with my naturopath on a variety of remedies; including a tincture or two so I am right there with ya ;-P
The two concerns right now are walking pneumonia or whooping cough which is like at an epidemic level amongst adults in WA state....JOY! But I don't have a fever so more likely something viral like the walking pneumonia scenario or something tied to my lifestyle like allergies/diet...which has been something of an issue as I've gotten older.

Devon, just letting you know that on Monday I'm going to be flying to California from Georgia for an educator's conference on Naval Base San Diego and will be there until Friday. Hopefully my ability to post won't be terribly restricted, but if you get to a point in the story where you'd be waiting on me to post, feel free to bot Ajani. If we don't get that far before I leave and you want a direction for him to go in the crew actions, I was hoping to have him try and befriend Caulky the cabin girl next. Thanks!
PirateDevon |
Access to Caulky is problematicm as you will discover, just for bottling sake anyone else on the list?
I'll try to get an updated crew list this weekend but I think I I might have left my spreadsheet Obama thumb drive at work...I'll let you know.
DM Wellard |
I want to suggest something that might speed up getting the crew influenced.how about granting a automatic aid another to anyone who makes a crew member friendly for other influence rolls on that NPC..whether they are present or not..that would represent our talking to our friends during the shift and persuading them that the other character isn''t such a bad person.
Just a thought
PirateDevon |
I'll meet you here: As soon as someone gets an NPC to helpful everyone else in the group gets a +2 aid bonus to influence regardless of the person being there, and +2 is the max you can get regardless of the number of you there are that the person is helpful to. Sort of a "I know you guys say he is okay but he seems like such a jerk..." I don't think I can go much farther than that as there is a decent span of time to get people persuaded to you and certain narrative items get sticky if everyone on board loves you no matter what. Seem a decent compromise?
PirateDevon |
New Matrix should be up.
Note that some of you have ".5" in certain ratings. this is my way of signaling that you have made a RP advancement that affects their relationship with you more than just the score.
For instance: Bart and Shortstone aren't exactly getting along but his superior diplomacy roll was as much as Bart could ever hope to "give" the gnome as far as being decent and the gnome noticed that.
I wanted to find a way to note RP rewards and superior rolls, let me know if there is any confusion.
PirateDevon |
Yeah, I just didn't think it was a "good" roll...I mean, sure, you rolled well but did you MEAN to? 8p
Nope I thought I got it but I missed it. I will update, sorry I do most of my bookkeeping at work and its been a crazy mess the last few days.
I'll make a note of it and will post it in the next update which I will do after night time actions and what not.

Seem a decent compromise?
Sounds fine to me. I'm not really worried about it as we ought to spread our influence around anyway and conflict makes it more interesting.
This ain't the love boat, baby!Thanks again for running this PD. hope health and work are getting better.
DO you want us to push on with night actions?

1. New map is up.
2. In the OOC here let me know a good color for your characters, I usually do color icons instead of letters.
3. Voodoo, how would you like me to handle pauses of more than 24 hours, should I bot you or should I have you hold actions? Just want to make the best choice to your preference is all in case you find yourself without access.
