Well, MEPACon crossed the "too hard" threshold for my wife, so we're not going...  :-\

Brushing up on my Battletech skills. The VTOL critical hit table is sadly as I remember it.  xp xp Hopefully Hawk and I will get in a VTOL vs. Tanks (sim) battle soon.  :thumbsup:

Holy smokes... I'm ever so glad I gave Hong a base -1 target for KF Navigation!  Going from pirate point to pirate point is HARD!  Even with her phenomenal skill and a functioning computer, it took 4.5 hours to run the calculations.

For future reference, the Inside Straight and Full House jumped out of the Campoleone system at 1347 on 06 November, 3053.

Some places remain unknown because no one has gone there.  Others remain unknown because no one has come back.

You sent me a lot of information when I was going to start playing, so please be forgiving if I missed anything.

Is the some basic information on Shervanis City? Background? Maps?

I am looking to see the lay out of the base, space port, etc. Not because my character is looking to leave any time soon, Blake be praised!

I haven't actually mapped out Shervanis City, sorry.  The departures from there are mostly going to be narrative vice played out.

If you have some specific ideas, I'm more than willing to entertain them!  :)

I just read Cameron McCann briefing and it answered a lot of my questions. It was very well written.

I am good with taking someone else lead getting off world, I just want to play my part  ;)

It has been a very long time since I did a forum based RPG. The last time I played in one was on a C 64 BBS.

Tegyrius did a very thorough write up that I had to make very few tweaks to... He deserves high praise all around!  :thumbsup:

If anyone else wants to propose that level of detail, I'm all ears...  :)

To be clear, Astrokaszy is only the first stop on this ride...  ^-^

I'm also interested in doing that. I still need to finish chapter 1 and all the RP posts first, however.

If the unit knows what's good for them, they wouldn't touch an "ex" Black Warrior with a 10 meter pole...

The pace is slow, but the game is going, honest!  For the main group, McCann's briefing is a good opportunity to ask questions.  On Astrokaszy, I believe the ball is in Richter's court...

Great post Sebastian!  I'm still hoping for some Q&A on Tegyrius' excellent briefing, and may have to generate some NPC chatter if I don't get any help from the peanut gallery... :)

Peanut gallery posting is encouraged, but please don't post what OTHER players do... in Play by Post, this is known as "god-modding", and limits other players' responses.  To say it's impolite is an understatement...

Thanks for discussing the nod, I was going to ask about it.

I decided to play the whole thing as a perceived overly interested party.

Is there a good ComStar vs. WoB novel worth reading?
