Supercape Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 OOC for this thread. Dok A, Blueshift, Victory, Supercape, Push, and Sage save the planet! Link to comment
quotemyname Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I'll be posting as Rachel in this thread. At least initially. Link to comment
Quinn Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Forgot to roll this, but now's as good a time as any; Recurring Nightmares (DC10) (1d20=3) Whew, looks like the guy got a good night's sleep. :D Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 ... 3 is less than 10, so Push failed, and did not get a good night's sleep. Link to comment
Supercape Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 No problems Sorus! Sorry not to see you but totally understand. The thread is, I think "semi open" in that anyone who has a good reason to pip in can do so providing its not too full. Also, people may wish to pop in for parts of the threads and not others I guess. Link to comment
quotemyname Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Quinn reminded me! Blueshift has a similar flaw. Overactive Imagination (1d20=10) It's DC 10, so she just barely passes. Link to comment
Quinn Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 . . .Meh, alright, I'm Fatigued. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to have some words with a certain individual who put me under a severe misconception. >.> Link to comment
Ecalsneerg Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 ... 3 is less than 10, so Push failed, and did not get a good night's sleep. Actually, if you look at how it works, the more severe drawback is at the lower DC. It's another part of how royally godawful Mecha and Manga is. It works like the usual Drawback frequencies in that it comes up if you beat the DC, contrary to good game design. Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 ... hunh. Well that's just bass ackwards. Congrats, Quinn, no fatigue for you! Link to comment
Quinn Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 . . . *starts a roaring fire and looks for his copy of Mecha & Manga* Link to comment
Supercape Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ok, need somebody to discover the asteroid! I think Rachel / Quote volunteered, maybe involving Dok A. Link to comment
JackgarPrime Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I think whoever summoned Victory back to HQ must've already spotted it, if they were sounding that urgent. Link to comment
Quinn Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I could have Push look up? :P Link to comment
quotemyname Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I exchanged PMs with Doc. Rachel should know exactly where it is. She invented up some techno-ESP on accident, and while she was searching through the galaxy, she spotted it. It would have been impossible to miss. I just need Doc to let me know how he wants to go about meeting up with Rachel. It will be Rachel he meets up with. Saving the world is more important than taking the time to put on a suit ;) Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Dok's in his satellite space station, which has Super-Senses 59 (Accurate, Analytical, and Extended 4 [100,000 ft. {18.9 miles} increment] on all Radio senses [14]; Radius and Extended 4 for all Visual senses [10]; communication link 6 [with Archeville's electromagnetic screwdriver, Archestern, Fjölnirskraft, Haus von Archeville, and two ArcheTech facilities {the corporate HQ in Freedom City, and the Berlin facility}] [radio] [6]; tracking extradimensional awareness [radio] [2]; tracking detect energy [radio] [2]; detect metahuman/mutant powers [radio] [1]; detect technology [radio] [1]; detect time [radio] [1]; infravision [1]; low-light vision [1]; microscopic vision 4 [4]; acute analytical precognition [Flaw: Only for predicting macro-scale trends and behaviors] [mental] [3]; radio (with accurate, this is also radar) [1]; analytical scent [analytical and acute for olfactory {i.e., gas chromatographs & chemsniffers}] [2]; trace teleport [radio] [1]; ultra-hearing [1]; ultravision [1]; x-ray vision [Drawback: not through lead] [3]) ("Oodles of Sensors and Analytical Equipment") And if that alone isn't enough to get a good fix on it, he can hotwire/jury-rig something up that'd give him the senses/range needed to spot it. :science:SCIENCE! It's what he does! Link to comment
Supercape Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Im sorry Dok... the Asteroid is 18.91 Miles Away.... What? No, of course its more than adequate! Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 :argh: 18.9 miles is just one range increment. Which means that anyone using it takes a -1 penalty on their Notice check per 18.9 miles. Thus, a Bystander could Take 20 (for 26, with the +6 to Notice the station's Enhanced Skills [i.e.: really good sensors] give), and spot something obvious (like, say, a person on the street) 491.4 miles away. ... ArcheStern's 22,000 miles above sea level. I'm going to need more Extended! Even Dok using it (44 total if he Takes 20 on Notice) can only see something obvious 831.6 miles away with it! EDIT: Ah, and that's why Dok has ESP on all his HQs, so he can just tap into any existing cameras (traffic cams, webcams, cell phone cams, etc.) to see things. Still, that wouldn't help with tracking things like weather patterns, or herd migrations... or asteroids. Link to comment
JackgarPrime Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 This is getting awful complicated just to see something :P Link to comment
quotemyname Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Im sorry Dok... the Asteroid is 18.91 Miles Away.... "I'm sorry, Timmy. You needed fifteen tickets to live! See that's why when you somehow stumble upon inventing a McGuffin device that gives you ESP that's NOT limited to cameras, you can see things better! *handwave handwave* Link to comment
Quinn Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 . . . Well, he can't reach Push's cameras; they're on a closed circuit! Suddenly, Push's problems vis-a-vis sandwiches feel very small indeed. Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 . . . Well, he can't reach Push's cameras; they're on a closed circuit! Suddenly, Push's problems vis-a-vis sandwiches feel very small indeed. Wireless CCTV systems can be hacked into. An even if they are wired CCTVs (which he probably would not be able to tap into remotely), there's still traffic cameras, cell phone cams, web cams, his phone line... :science: Link to comment
Quinn Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Great, now I'll be seeing hidden DokCams everywhere. >.> Link to comment
Supercape Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 If nobody has any handy Space Ships here, the power of P.L.O.T will give us a bog standard Space Craft as per M&M rules powered by Handwavium and flying to the Meteor at a speed of Fluff. EDIT: Dok's Superior Science-knowledge (the player not the character) will gladly be bowed to on this by the way. And what a catch with those planets, eh? Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 ... Dok (a member of the Freedom League Auxiliary) asked Pseudo (a member of the Freedom League) to prep a Pegasus-class Space-Plane (as seen in the Freedom City setting book) for their use. So, yes, transport has already been secured. :) Link to comment
Supercape Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 PEGASUS SPACE-PLANE VEHICLE Strength 65, Speed 9 (air, 5,000 MPH), Space Travel 5, Defense 6, Toughness 13, Size G Cost: 30 equipment points For my reference rather than anybody elses, as it was hidden away in the book!
