So, I know that grenades use an uncon roll, but how do they use them? To clarify, when you throw a grenade is it uncon for setting the timer and then dex for throwing it, or do you throw the grenade and set the timer through uncon?

It was explained before that grenades use dex and strength: dexterity for aiming and strength for the force/distance of the throw. Unconventional, I believe was meant to be used only if you're doing anything more complex with the grenade, such as setting a tripwire.

What about setting a stun stick, or changing the setting?

Changing settings/turning dials never called for any rolls except in the case you aren't familiar with the equipment and the dials are unlabeled and/or numerous, in which case piecewise usually rolled Intelligence (nowadays either Mind or Gen.Knowledge, I assume).

Jason speaks into his helmet to Steve. "Looks like we got ourselves a deserter, Steve. You think it's safe to leave that remote with him?"

Get opinion from Steve. If he okays it, detonate Blizzard 5's (Ulrich's) remote.
Just to be clear, you're doing this after he's buggered off to Hep, right? Because there's avsolutely no way you could know he was doing this instead of just setting up the portal like he was supposed to before he jumps in.

So I started a project and I need contributors. Basically I'm trying to establish a community run universe contained within its own wiki page. If you are interested please check it out, contribute your own ideas, and share it so we can establish a thriving community. I'm sharing this here because there are a lot of creative people here and the world of Einsteinian roulette was a massive inspiration for this project.

What if we were to get a large group of human brains and pump them full with the active ingredients of bluesmokes and intuition stims? Use them as a means to help get a rough danger rating of each set of coordinates?
Why use intuition to find the wrong coordinates when you can use intuition and fate to find the right coordinates?

you may get some use out of the random generators you can find in my sig link. I often use them for things in er. 

They're html too so you could even host the on the wiki if you wanted to.

regardless it's an interesting project idea. But I think that in order for it to work out you're gonna need to throw down some basic universe guidelines.  Just  the basics of physics and the degree of "hardness" of the universe. The tyranny of choice is often the death of unguided endeavors; people like enough structure to give them something to build off of but enough freedom to feel like their choices matter.

Like all limited things it will run out at the worst possible time and not before.

Thanks for your input Piecewise. I have some plans to shake things up if it doesn't take off right away. If need be I will establish some rules for the universe, such as magic and what not, but for now I'm going to see if the community can set those down. I want this to be made by the community as much as possible, although I do realize that I may need to set some things in place for this to work right

I knew it, Trinity 3 is guarded by drug addicted kung fu magical girls. All hope is lost.


I would like to say that this show is really something to be experienced. Gives you a perspective on some things going on right now. Well, it did for me.
Everyone who didn't, go watch that.
This kind of recommendation is useless to me. "Go watch it, it's great!" "How do I know you're not lying?"

Go ahead and prove me wrong. By watching it and denouncing it publically for its flaws.
First episode was fairly hilarious, but dragged and didn't really have a point. I suspect it's alright if you're looking for silly what-ifs but falls flat the instant you stop being entranced by the scenery. Twilight Zone comparison is pretty apt on that point.
