sullat posted:OK, added stats. Now, if I understand walkers correctly, if the walker is destroyed, Otto has a chance to bail out and Yes on all accounts. A pilot of a walker uses it for weapons, speed and armor until they're out of it, but otherwise it's their statline. Whenever a walker gets hit you roll on that table you probably saw, but it's more likely the pilot will expire then the robot suit. If it does and the pilot escapes the danger then they're running around, yeah. (Actually if you have the engineering skill you can then repair the walker, but that really isn't practical.) The value for medic is 5. Medic works as follows, to memory; a model gets downed. You have a turn to get the medic to the model, roll a pluck and get them back up. After they die. edit: Well. They die for the battle, but on the campaign each "dead" model rolls pluck again to see if they actually die. Gamerofthegame fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Jan 1, 2016 |

 The Order of the Sanskrit Sutra Ex-monks of the shaolin temple, our order was expelled for delving into ancient secrets and using Qi unethically. Moving to the himalayas, they quickly set up in an abandoned buddhist conversion post in an isolated valley to continue their studies and training , as well as to track down ancient and fearsome knowledge. And while they're here, you can bet they're going to defend this land of holy rivers against the greedy and unenlightened.  Emei Sect Nun - 4+ pluck (4), +2SV (2), +3FV (4), +2speed (2) AC10 (4), Sword (4), Jade Hairpin 9", +1 +0 (3) = 23Fast, tough as nails and excellent swordswomen, these lightly armoured nuns have been around the block, and have mastered the ancient art of hairpin throwing.  Emei Sect Adept - 5+ pluck (2), +0SV, +2FV (2), +2speed (2) AC9 (2), Sword (4), = 12These young women are still getting their training underway, though you don't want to get on the wrong side of them in a gang, especially when they've been out drinking after training  Little Master Vacant Truth - 3+ pluck (9), +3FV (4), +2SV (2), +2 speed (2), Quarterstaff (4), Qi Blast (12", +2 -1) (5), AC 10 (4), medic (5), leadership +1 (3), mountain peaks in mist (zone of shadows) (13) = 51His kind heart means that he focuses most of his Qi energy towards helping and defending others. He'll never back down from an injustice or wrongdoing, and is more than happy to use his quarterstaff when he needs to. His long climbs and periods of meditation in the mountains have given him a strong constitution, as well as the ability to breathe qi mountain mist.  Brother Unrelinquish - 3+ pluck (9), +4FV (9), +0SV (0), +2 speed (2), Drunkard's Fist (Edison Arc Truncheon) (6), AC 10 (4), Numb (10), Tough (5), Belly Stomp (Dragon Wings) (13) = 58A bully from birth, Brother Unrelinquish was forced into the monastery when he was caught at banditry. Caring little for a monks vows, he mostly remains with the Order in his lust for power and strength through more ancient Sutras. His incredible gluttony does give him an impressive constitution and the ability to force Qi through an enemy's body with his powerful punches, however.  Sacred Master Acumen - 3+ pluck (9), +0FV, +4SV (9), +1 speed (2), AC 10 (4), Qi Cannon (Congreve rocket gun+Carbine) (12), Explosive qi, Flame qi, Gas qi (21), leadership +1 (3), Fanatic (5), Skirmisher (3) Unearthly Aura[beauty] (10), Fragrant Monkey Tail (rocket pack) (5) = 82No one knows quite how old Master Acumen is, all they know is that he's seen 3 abbots come and go in his time at the Shaolin temple. The last of which expelled him and his students for their study of illegal Qi manuals.Determined to continue his studies and gain as much power as possible for the good of buddhists everywhere, nobody can say whether gaining the ability to fire incredibly accurate and destructive blasts from his hands has corrupted him as was accused. 1x Sacred Master Acumen 82 1x Brother Unrelinquish 58 1x Little Master Vacant Truth 51 1x Emei Nun 23 3X Emei Adept 36 Total: 250 Gold: 55 dollars The Saurus fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Jan 4, 2016 |

Dr. James de Havilland had a dream. This was not, in point of fact, a particularly noble dream. Or, indeed, an intelligent one. The end goal was not clear even to the man himself; somewhere off in the mists of possibility the recognition of the superiority of power beyond that of steam or electric. His name coupled to the success. Fetes, balls, receptions, prizes awarded in his name to the next bright young minds of the coming years. The recognition of his peers, to the extent that he accepted he had them. Clockwork - de Havilland-work, or so he would have it, no better name coming to mind - would put his name in the minds of all across the world. The work could not be said to be feverish, with the Doctor's temperament and the temptations of momentary pleasure ready to hand. But soon, tools were downed, and invitations to the very first exhibition of de Havilland's Visions of the Future of the World were sent. It was a stunning success. Insomuch as the exhibits worked, and the invited guests and the Doctor were stunned. It made it much easier to borrow their pocketbooks. Months later, when all the exhibits had managed to ship their way to the Himalayas (not a few boxes having found their way to untold regions of the world by mistake in the meantime), and reassembled themselves, the great work could finally begin. For no matter the mistakes de Havilland made, he had managed to instill in his creations some semblance of the philosophies he espoused; the vagaries and doublethink of his own views transmuted into doctrine and code in the ticking minds of the exhibits. This was the land that held riches, all to be claimed thanks to the wonder that was steam power. Alternative arrangements would have to be made. The Exhibition of a Bright Future includes;  de Havilland's Wonderful Tour Guide Persona/Tension Jones - Fitted with a modulating leather throat-bladder in order to entertain guests with witty repartee and praise for the Doctor, the self-renamed Tension Jones leads the ex-exhibits due to the simple fact that it is the only one of the group able to speak coherently. Receiving better upkeep as a result of its importance means that it has come to be one of the better working units as a result. Pluck +2 FV 4/SV 3 Speed +0 (29) Steel Breastplate Crossbow Quarterstaff (19) Leadership 2 Marksman (11) (59 total)  de Havilland's Complete Guardsman for an Uncertain Future/Dynamo Jackson - Contrary to rumours, the Doctor's only exhibit designed for military purposes was not the ringleader of the rebellion, did not fire a shot through six of the finest derbies in order to pierce the Doctor in the heart while he stood on the stage, and certainly does not wear a cloak dipped in the blood of its victims. It does use a rifle, however, which to the other exhibits is painfully worrisome. Gunpowder seems very close to steam. Oh, but it does have a red cloak. It likes red. Pluck +3 FV 3/SV 4 Speed +0 (22) Brigandine Hunting Rifle Combat Knife (21) Hunter Marksman (10) (52 total)  de Havilland's Fine Body of Robust Servants - Your average clockwork automatons. They speak of many things, in their curious sign language, though what they speak of is uncertain, and the jerkiness of the movements is unsettling. The swords may add to that. Presumably they're actually very nice people. Pluck 3 FV 3/SV 3 Speed +0 (17) Steel Breastplate Crossbow Sabre (19) Marksman Stealthy (10) (46 total)  de Havilland's Amazing Burden-Lifting Clockwork Yak - An unassuming beast, of simple mind and basic clockwork, and one made to be almost life-like in design. Sadly, de Havilland's design seems to have been working from several differing sources in description, and the Doctor can surely never have seen a Yak in person, because what the Clockwork Yak mostly is is a large automatic rhinosaurus. Pluck +4 FV 5/SV 0 Speed +1 (21) Plate Armour Unarmed (basic) (25) Tough (5) (51 total)  Clackerjacks - When one clockwork automata is beyond repair, what remains of it can be reshaped into something that does not depend on faculties and movements it can no longer perform. To still fixed and "sane" automatons, the Clackerjacks are figures of pity and inspiration to fight on. To the average person, the Clackerjacks are shuddering, ticking, leaping, juddering, sharp nightmares with partially human features that often attack those simply smoking a pipe. Pluck +3 FV 4/SV 0 Speed +2 (20) Steel Chain Shirt Combat Knife (7) Berserker Terrifying (15) (43 total) Revenant Threshold fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Jan 1, 2016 |

Are machine-guns 15 points or 26 points? The cost reference sheet (26) and the rulebook (15) do not agree.

There was an errata, which for the most part is just over machine guns. They cost 26 and require a strongman or two people to move and shoot. But you can split it's weapon bonus among targets.

Cathode Raymond posted:Indentured Orphans: Still on loan from the workhouse after decades of indentured servitude, these parentless children have grown into parentless adults and serve as the main combat force of the Royal Society. They are trained to be as cost-effective as possible. Attrition rates among the Orphans have historically been very high. Indentured Orphan #0014 is the longest-lived and most battle-hardened of the Orphans, having first seen combat as a teenager in Crimea. #0132 is the second longest-lived. Both have been chosen for the Shangri-La expedition, and each has insisted on bringing his own Maxim gun. If you want to use machine guns, you either have a two-man team that can deploy and fire the gun. Or you can spend 10 points and take the 'Strongman' talent and they can each carry and fire a machine gun on their own.

Just handwave it away as something like the Persian 'Immortals' where every time one falls, it seems like a new one takes its place. Or as the Doctor persuading his followers that they can't die. On the bright side, you now have a bunch on points you can spend or more characters or cool new gear.

But seizing it will take more manpower and of course, going there. So, he turns to his aide Rogar. "Go tell Pete we'll be hiring him and his crew. There's a profit to be made." If you want to use an Acr Cannon, you will need the Strongman talent or you will need to have a second crewman to help you deploy it, so you may want to swap it for an Arc Rifle. Also Arc weapons need an Arc Generator to help them recharge quickly enough to be fired every turn. Otherwise, they can only be fired every other turn.

Alright, we still have room for one more Company! If you haven't statted up your company or added images yet, go ahead and do that!  Travellers, the time has come to enter the mountains. If you seek Shangri-La, there are two places you should start. You should consult the archives of the Russian 1888 Himalayas expedition at Fort Mishkin or speak with the Lamas of the Palyu Temple. Most of you have nothing more that your feet to carry you into the mountains. But a Shanks' Pony will not be enough to conquer these hills. You must get some transport to these locations. Inside your wallets, you each have 50 gold dollars. You don't have time to spend this money on weapons, training, or mercenaries, but you might be able to use it to get some transport.  You must choose how you will get into the mountains. Here are your choices. Buy a ticket Your ticket will buy you and your Company passage to a destination of your choice.  The British-controlled Himalayan Railway has the fastest trains and the most-extensive railway network. But their travel comes at a price. A ticket will cost your Company 50 gold dollars.  You can also take the much-cheaper Russian Imperial Railway, for just 25 gold dollars. The mysterious Calcutta-Nanking Line is refusing to sell passage on their trains, at any price. You cold also buy a ticket on Professor Witherspoon's Airship Line for 40 gold dollars, although his airships have a nasty habit of flying into mountains... Steal Transport You can try to sneak or blast your way into a railway station and try to get some transport. The newspapers are reporting that the Himalayan Railway is loading its armored trains with a shipment of the British Indian Army's steam artillery tractors and Royal Naval Air Service zeppelins. You might be able to fight your way in and steal them! Although, you and your Company will be wanted men... The Russian Imperial Railroad has just unveiled its first armored train, hoping to use it to carry spider walkers to bolster the defense of Fort Mishkin. The Calcutta-Nanking Railway is said to be very, very, very heavily-guarded. Rumors say most of their trains left the station three days ago, heading for the mountains. The backers of this railroad have paid millions and hired a small army to defend their main base in the Himalayan foothills. You can raid it, but you're not likely to survive.  It's now time for the intrigue phase. Start emailing each other your plans and begin forming factions. Once you've decided what you are going to do, post your plans in the thread. For example: I will be trying to steal transport from the Himalayan Railroad Remember to cc: me at SABacarruda@gmail when you email you each other.

Am I too late to submit a company? Didn't expect this to move so fast While the British government itself rejects the idea of Shangri-la, the Royal society of explorers does not. It has outfitted 3 men in the latest in walker technology to explore the Himalayas, and bring back it's treasures for the empire. Lord Charles of Mountberry was chosen by the society to lead the expedition, as a well-connected Lord and keen imperialist and explorer. Along with him come Alfred His faithful servant and dogsbody for his adventures. Wilfred Hummberg A promising young member of the society, who managed to wrangle himself into the position of society supervisor of the expedition. Stats up later today. Barracuda, could I remove the machine gun from a walker and add a arc cannon + generator instead?
