My only complaint is that this doesn't really capture the feel of the web series. Rather than Leroy Jenkins it with Uzis with infinite ammo and katanas, instead we use military vehicles and *gasp* tactics. There tends to be a lack of suspense since all of our sieges rarely give the impression that it might fail. Boss fights are still suspenseful though, I have to admit.

This last flaw can simply be chalked up to a difference between the two combat styles: Combat as Sport, and Combat as War (your are CaW btw)

I also liked the way the previous Gm described the castles better. He mentioned stuff like runes on the wall and statues and stairs the size of giants. It was a nice bit of environmental storytelling.

That's all my criticism for now. Your game is still good and it has greatly improved since my last post with constructive criticism.

I'm thinking drastic variations in the castles would be nice. Each one is in its own pocket dimension. Presumably there's an infinite number of said pocket dimensions. What's stopping some of the variations to have fully sapient occupants? Or maybe not even castles. A carnival with sapient dorf fort style clowns would be very neat. Hell, some missions might not even have directly hostile people, a village in a forest shrouded in mist. A small town that slipped through the cracks. And so on. Could be alternate forms of malignance or none at all.

Is it only me or do some of the images in the guidebook not work? In the equipment tables many links to images are broken.

The Guildbook is ancient. I'm not surprised that some of the images doesn't work anymore. We'll see about updating them in the new book.

I don't see why we can't add another person into the squad. It's more progressive Firepower, after all! :D

Survive long enough and he'll become the awesomes like the rest of the squad. :3

Awesome! So when can I expect to be added in? Fluff for addition to the squad might be transfer after the last eldrintern incident.

Yeah, you can start showing up now. We'll say the Higher Ups decided that Foxhound can use another sane guy with the guns. They'll officially include you in a briefing before the mission later, though. But you can start introducing yourself to people already.

A better, I feel, way of putting it is that they feel, due to the recent incidents, higher ups think that talk needs more hands at the ready to lead his growing group of trigger happy idiots to a success. Plus, training gate crew is expensive. Importing them from other countries is also costly.

If everyone can compile their updated sheets for me and send it to me via PM or something, I can edit one of my posts in the first page to include everyone's sheet.

If you want, I can use the bestiary on the front page of this, to that effect. Its sitting there taking up space, anyway.

Hey guys.

I haven't posted in a while. The reason why is because second semester is harder than I thought so because of this, I don't think I can play for much longer.

Sorry

I might come back but not now. Just assume Arthur figured out a way to stay behind and is still working with the interns on the musical.

Also in fear of this being relevant, Arthur is not a muscular guy. His physique is slimmer and he focuses more on dexterity.

I am sorry to hear that, but, I understand that more important things come first. Hopefully, and likely, your character and this game will be here on your return. Just, when you get a little free time, try to keep read with what's happening, it will help you to reintegrate yourself with the group, however it expands. That was the mistake I made with Enstine Roulette.
