City of the dammed

Ooc: I've got a pounding headache...

OOC fine if you guys really care so much about something 100% inconsequential IC but was only intended to show you guys something OOC then fine

The member 'Gorath' has done the following action : Challange Fate

'd20' : 5

OOC: Thats not the only thing which is pounding, nerus

HEYO

Ooc gorath with things like this you have to roll to find anything no matter how unrelevant. You get to terms with It quick

OOC: Like that time arthur tried to find a can in a super market to make a trap for genestealers...

Ooc: there is only littered streets, anything of value is quickly taken by thieves, muggers, or the homeless, you find no guardsman corpse, nor any power packs.

OOC that's kinda dumb. again it wasn't for any in character purpose it was literally a way of trying to convey something about his character
1st rule of storywriting: show don't tell. how the hell can I show you he collects stuff like this rather than telling you when i have to waste time rolling for it every time?

and fine then honus, he finds it on the body of one of the guys he killed with a stickbomb earlier

Ooc: they were not carrying guns, and I don't think you killed any.

OOC: He blew some back and then they left

OOC you said they were hit with fire and shrapnel. i thought this was meant to be realistic cause that would definitely kill at least one

Ooc by not moaning and following the rules. Sorry to be blunt.

OOC yeah but then every time it'll be like 'oh I think I'll subtly convery something about this guy by having him actually do it in order to inform the others about him and hint at something else, oh wait rolled a 1, his character remains bland and uninteresting'

OOC: Then...yousay...this stuff...in the characters...back story...

OOC do I need to repeat myself hyp?
1st rule of storytelling: show don't tell

Ooc he killed some. And cant help it. Prepare a story for people to know immediately or its the will of the dice gods.

OOC: Gorath, are you going to contiune bitching about this and stopping progress or quit

thy

bitching

OOC but ortus, a story everyone knows immediately is a bad, boring story. and one left to the dice gods for every little inconsequential thing could end up just as boring. rolling for fighting or looking for something that actually effects things a lot? fair enough. something like this which will effect nothing? seems just pointless

Ooc: so your going to loot bodies that you blew up with a frag grenade?

OOC: Which he didn't even kill

Seems legit

OOC you said they didn't go down from the original blast. but if it was realistic they'd go down to their wounds not long after

OOC: Exactly
once they walked away

OOC they really wouldn't get far
at all

Ooc gorath
Not gonna lie
If you disagree with that principle you shouldn't join this thread
But I agree with them people dying

OOC:...Considered frag grenades are str 3

and people survive shots through the heads...also depends how close they were to the blast

Ooc: erm...

OOC As I said ortus, rolling for things that actually effect anything I'm perfectly fine with. but there is literally no point in rolling for this. infact he already has enough that when he gets back he'll realize it and throw these new ones away
and hyp name ONE normal human who has survived a grenade at incredibly close proximity

OOC: People survive land mines when they tread on em over in iraq, haven't you heard the news lately?

and land mines are alot more effective than frag grenades

Ooc: soldiers survive I.E.Ds... do they count?

OOC yeah but if nothing else they are mortally wounded and would die without medical attention
IMMEDIATE medical attention

OOC: Someone survived a 50.cal through the head, and survived without immediate medical attention.

OOC that's completely unrelated. it's a bullet not an explosion

OOC: Dude

50.cal

50! Those are worse than explosions!

Channing moss survived a rpg shot to the chest..

Ooc oh shut up.
Gorath its how dice rps work
Spike and olli atleast one would have been killed at close range.
Continue glorious dm.

OOC: depends on 1. Shrapnel count they got imbedded with 2. how close they were

there are always variables ortus

OOC 1) hyp it's still unrelated, the wound type is completely different and the chances of that guy surviving were so slim they wouldn't effect this at all anyway
2) I'm guessing it didn't explode. otherwise he would have been ripped apart.
3) I still just see no point in rolling for something that changes nothing and just results in leaving my character bland if I get a bad roll

Ooc: ...well, I forgot about the stick bomb... so you have that, however, I doubt they were carrying lasgun power packs and lasguns considering they had stuff like shivs, bats and chains... and one dude with a old shotgun... plus they would've got shredded.

Ooc that was an attempt to stop this... im off then. Nothing interesting is happening. Seeya all.

OOC I still see no point in rolling for it. since as I said it effects nothing and is just to try and show you something about him
If someone can tell me the point I'll concede it, but so far you've just said 'because it's how it works'.

Ooc: I didn't think this would work... never mind.

OOC Not like it matters at this point anyway. just that I see rolling for something that changes nothing really pointless
it would be like rolling for his next bloody step

Ooc: not really, you were basically getting gear without a challenge or anything, you just assumed it was there and did it.

OOC It changes nothing as I said. nothing at all. as I said when he gets back to his home base thing he's just gonna throw it away anyway cause he'll find out it doesn't fit with what he needs. it literally changes nothing

Ooc I looked forward to it. Oh well.
And bloody hell gorath shut up already. It is. Deal with It. Finding gun
s and ammo in a city of gangs isnt easy.
Farewell.

*in a hushed voice"
"You know I could betray him, I'd rather not die..."

OOC ortus calm down seriously, I just want someone to tell me the point in rolling for that. if someone does, and it is something other than 'cause that's how it works' then fair enough

Ooc: you can't just say you find stuff, that's not how it works; if you assume you find stuff, no matter how pointless, what's the point of even having a DM? Might as well not have one.

OOC The point is for when that stuff actually effects stuff. in this case, as I've said several times, it will effect literally nothing
at
all

Ooc a reason to stay!
And I just gave you another bloody reason. City of gangs. Gun and ammo on floor. Whether relevant or not.itd be hard to find.
