For your touching dedication - you got a psychic barrier (Aegis) that explodes when destroyed! It can even stun you in the process, awesome!

Ah, assault weaponry.

If your idea of assaulting is getting shot up so badly you lose control of your psychic powers, sure.

I obviosuly intend to avoid that.
Totally. Yep. Absolutely wasn't going to kamikaze into enemy forces, doo doo dee da...

I heavily suspect this will be of the 'a tad slow, but worth waiting for' variety.
I base this entirely on Their Coming Is At Hand, the only other DH game I've seen. It featured updates larger than some books.
Also, I'll be referring to Harry Baldman's character almost exclusively as Cadillac.

I should hope for atleast combat-heavy turns passing faster. And atleast you're working together instead of the usual 'everyone has their own plot' thing, until you inevitably split up.

Well, I hope that won't happen too soon, though I imagine there will be individual plot lines that need to be resolved.

[Parsely]

Bloody hell, I need some time for this one! PTW for now.

[Xantalos]

Sorry for fastidiousness, but could we have a link to the game thread in the OP?

[Digital Hellhound]

It is done.

[Xantalos]

It is done.

And my OCD is satisfied.

Update?

[Digital Hellhound]

Err, I seem to have hit a minor obstacle (as if all the computers going durr at once wasn't problem enough). I can't seem to unlock the Play thread. Is there a time limit for unlocking threads? I suppose I could PM Toady, but it seems to me it would be faster to just make a new thread. Urrrm?

EDIT: Done. Now, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT POST BEFORE I GIVE PERMISSION. YOUR CHARACTERS WILL LOSE ALL THEIR POWERS AND GEAR, EVEN THE CLOTHES FROM THEIR BACKS, IF YOU DO.

[HailFire]

IT BEGINS

Also don't spam the new IC thread with OOC comments, guys, it's rude.

Also, I'll be referring to Harry Baldman's character almost exclusively as Cadillac.

I am so glad I'm not the only one who thought this.

Alright, the intro post is up! The game is afoot! Hover over the name of an equipment/ability for a short description (that is an order, abbr-tagging everything took waaay too much time). Also, if it seems fitting, your passive abilities may influence other actions not listed there.

There's a lot of unexplained things, both setting-wise and about the mechanics. Ask me, or IC the General (only about the former, obviously). I might even make little Database Entries for the topics! You are justified in-character for not knowing much about the world.

EDIT: Err, right, Psychics, the abilities listed are just the ones you've honed into perfect combat use. You can still use your powers for pretty much anything, in combat or outside of it. Mind reading, mental suggestion, telekinesis, temperature control, etc. etc., you know the lot.

[Xantalos]

YES
YESYESYESYES

EDIT: Wait, what exactly does the Aegis do? It makes you resistant to close-range damage but vulnerable to long-range damage or the other way around?

[Digital Hellhound]

The increased damage is to the Aegis, not you. It's very vulnerable to Close Range attacks (takes increased damage and is destroyed faster) but reduces medium and long range attacks. So vulnerable to close range - and completely bypassed by melee attacks. Might want to find a gun.

It's also the only defence against mental attacks and can be recharged at will, so yay.

Fluff reason for this is that attacks at close quarters really fuck up your focus.
