GM Questions

Post by Boogiepop » Wed Apr 28, 2021 1:45 am

Go here!

Special request, if there is a rulebook question, please post the reference (if possible). This can be cutting and pasting text from the PDF or making a reference to the page. I'd like to be able to answer these at work but access to the books might be a bit tricky.

Thank you!

Could we have the IRL dates for the IC days on what they cover exactly? :)

Sure! I shall try to have that on future dates as well. Admittedly, day change might be erratic sometimes. Day 2 might come slightly sooner, but I will typically try to change them when I get home after work.

Hey Boogie! For the Nautilus Radio check, does a character with 0 in the skill roll against Easy (as if the skill were 1) or Simple? :)

Sorry! That one was meant to be a bit of a paradox. I know I said skill but I probably meant skill and characteristics. It is supposed to mirror your attempt.

So if you had no skills but 4 Presence, you would roll against 4 difficulty. If you had 1 skill but 2 presence, you would roll against 2 difficulty with one upgrade.

Would this roll add any additional bonuses onto the main roll for this part? This was the supporting roll to the Tracking Shot NBN thing.

Day 3, EA | Tracking Shot, Support Roll: Sysop vs Average: 4eP+2eD 2 successes, 3 advantage, 1 Triumph

I'd say this is a free upgrade to your main roll!

A question at the end here:

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=165&p=939#p939

Also another question re: the expo. Can we do a total of 3 activities, or is it 3/day, both on D3 and D4?

Sure, you get a leather jacket with red patches. I'd be careful about wearing it in public. ^_^;

Is it 3 a day!

Hey Boogie!

Question for those of us who were (ahem) not very successful on the D3 event. Is there anywhere where I could request some healing (or, well, repair in this case)? The City Hall itself, maybe?

Also - assuming the 8 wounds taken ignore soak, right?

Thanks!

I would imagine you might have to report to your local recharging/repair centre to tend to your wounds in this case, potentially log in a lengthy report (handwaved) about what you were shot, and potentially have your superiors wondering why you walked into the line of fire. So I imagine that you will be mostly good as new tomorrow.

It's 8 wounds taken with soak. :)

Here's me being silly, but 'with soak' means "8 - your soak" in this case for clarity, then? :D

I'll assume that all happened, then! If you need a thread of some sort to deal with all that, let me know and I'll get it created! Can I assume at least 3 wounds are healed at the end of that, then? :D

Correct! And yes, 3 wounds are easily healed, I'd say. :)

In the Agenda Event I rolled with Netsearch but forgot to upgrade one difficulty to Challenge as appropriate: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=182&p=1166#p1166

This is the roll:

Day 4, Agenda | Recruitment: Android Team, Society, Skulljack, Net Search, vs Average, Setback: 3eP+1eA+2eD+2eS 3 successes, 2 threat, 1 Triumph
ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Would you like me to re-roll it in totality, or just roll a challenge and replace one of the difficulty?

Thanks!

Hm, I'm going to say that drop all of the difficulty/setback side dice and reroll those in their entirety, please and thank you!

Oh oops, I rolled 3 green again instead of 1 yellow/2 green. Should I reroll the whole batch, only the positive dice, etc?
