Exciting... nothing like the risk of an Event to make a RPG much more interesting.

What TGN is saying is that he's going to do an event.

It means that all players involved in the "boss fight" with the Magos stop posting for a moment... PM the actions they want their character to do (ie run, fight.. y'know, write a short paragraph or two if you want to do well) and when he has them all TGN will write up an event - the results. It adds some real risk and sometimes surprises to a game as well as some suspense.. because often you can't be too sure whether your character will survive. After TGN writes up the results of the fight (or there is the alternative method of him telling you what happens by PM and everyone just writes it up themselves.. but I think this way would cause too much confusion here), everyone continues posting as normal.

ohh okay. ill edit my post to a blank so he can do that

Might as well just change "Magos" to skitarii in that post. With a little editing, I'm sure you could change it to your khorne Lord killing a particularly large Skitarii with rather large weapons and such. He still gets a trophy for his collection that way.

Perhaps something like this.

I'd like to fight the Magos, but I have a feeling I'm dealing with the Skitarii around it, should I PM you?

Even if you are fighting Skitarii, your character's actual skill and ability (and perhaps an element of chance) would determine if he could get to the Magos and then if he would win/survive etc. As a Dreadnought I'd say that wading through the Skitarii and getting to the Magos wouldn't be too hard for you.

Don't PM me with your character's actions, send it to TGN. He's the GM and he'll write up what happens, I'm just answering questions because he isn't here.

I know, my post was more of just a general question, thanks for the answer

Also depends on how many Skitarii I have to wade through 5 to 10? Probably shouldn't take but a minute or two... any more? maybe a tad longer... also depends on how long it is before I have to switch from assault cannon to DCCW

I don't think a few minutes will cause a problem.. I mean I'd say at least several hours in game will have passed since the battle started.

I got the impression that it has been probably 6-8 hours since the shuttles/transports launched.

my deed is done, its a skitarii now !

PM'd the glass ninja.

Glass/Dark (whoevers answering)

whats the situation regarding attackers from another gate and/or 'using' another players character for a couple of minutes?

I'm back from school for today.


The Skitarii are attacking all through the city, but focusing their attack on the main (grand) gate that is being defended by Alfndrate and such. As for controlling another's character, not without their express permission.

Post up.

Good post, TGN. Athough I had hoped the Dreadnought would crush him in close combat.

Bravo!

I was kind of hoping I would have run through the wall and killed him accidentally

You chose to have him act more...cowardly....rather than as tank on legs should.

Well, I did save someones life.

Like a boss.

Indeed you did. You lads can mop up the Skitarii there now.

And that heralds the longest post I'll likely post here, it'll be years till I bother writing that much again on Dakka.

Glass, am I ok to open up another gate? I have an idea, but it means more Skitarii + some tanks on our doorstep...

Already tanks and skitarii on the doorstep, but another gate is fine.

Cheers

Lovely post Robot, I'm really enjoying your character.

Dandy, you mentioned delicious posting soon?

Thank you, it's interesting playing a non-berzerker type character for a change.

can I change Skitarii into Chimera Vets now? I feel it fits better with the role I have in mind...

'Fraid not. Only Mechanicum attacking the city.
