So, pvp or pve for this? Murder each other or some mooks?

[Egan_BW]

I'll go for PvP provided that we're not just stuck in a roman coliseum, because both these guys will rip me apart in a straight fight.

[Gentlefish]

Heh. I was gonna ask for PvE because we're actually a little balanced.

[piecewise]

How about Oz riding a bear vs gentle and Egan?

[Ozarck]

How about Oz riding a bear vs gentle and Egan?

I'll take those odds!

I do like me some co-op PvE though.

[piecewise]

Alright, let's do pve then.

Oh and Oz, for your gear
Long rifle: 2d4, ROF 2, shots 5
hunting knife: 1d4+1
throwing knife (x5): Hmm well we have ninja stars so we'll call them the same thing. 1d2. You can throw one a round.


So, pve, would you like to fight some humans or a big animal? I got some special forces or I got a mastodon.

[Ozarck]

five shots? is that between reloads? Do I have reloads? What does a ROF of 2 mean? How does that compare to an ROF of 3?

I'm pretty torn between those spec ops and that mastaodon, honestly. could go with either. I guess, overall, I'll say spec ops.

Let's fight Ivan. At that exact power-level.

Five shots per magazine. lets say you have 5 magazines. ROF is how many times you can shoot per combat round maximum. Ie you can shoot up to twice in a round.

Let's fight Ivan. At that exact power-level.

Ivan would literally snap you in half.

I need to get that anime system working a bit better.

Alright, book here says they come in groups of 1d6. Lets see...4. And they all have guns. So, I'm gonna give you the choice of where you face them, just so you have the best chance.

In the belly of some great and terrible machine. They were sent to destroy it, but us cultists have something to say about that.

So long there's lots of solid cover, I'm okay with this.

Alright then. You are in the belly of an enormous machine. And when I say the belly, I mean the belly. You are in the massive processing vat where humans and rubble are rendered down into usable materials for the ever advancing passage of the great iron worm. The vat is somewhat incorrectly named; its more like standing in a pipe, knee deep in water, blood, viscera, and debris. There are chunks of metal and concrete scattered all over, easy to hide behind. The entire thing is a good few hundred yards long. You three are crouched near the middle of it, and 100 yards away is a team of four special forces soldiers. They survived the consuming process and are busily searching out any cultists of steel, in an effort to undermine the strength of the worm. They're moving slowly, about 10 yards a round, sweeping the dimly lit room with flashlights mounted on machine guns.

[Ozarck]

Wait. We're not cultists of steel are we? We have no desire to strengthen the worm, do we? Are these enemies actually friends?

But no! Metaknowledge says this is a playtest for combat mechanics, so let's get busy!

Grumpy J will find cover and take aim with his long rifle.
