"The red one detonates the collar. The green one releases it", the man in red robes explains. "Use it in case he tries this again."

Oh you fiend :)

[LuckyDee]

This is a nice move from the player/character point of view by the way. As a player, I'm outraged that I'm the one on the receiving end of this, instead of both us with HD holding the triggers for example.

From the character's point of view: Lazerus is pissed as hell, but refuses to let his emotions get the best of him. Instead he masks this with another emotion:

And grinning as he looks at MkLear...

Had all be fine, he would have gone for the blank stare again. Watch for these things in Lazerus, since it might help in reading him while I try to play him as emotionally dead as possible.

@Silhar: About earning xp for good roleplaying, what are your ideas there? As you just demonstrated on a second occassion (since this incident was purely based on character interaction), xp will follow out of actions taken. But what about the general portrayal of characters?

And yes, part of why I'm asking is because I put a lot of thought in every post, forcing myself to see the situation through Lazerus' eyes if I feel I'm not hitting the right chord... I'd do this even if there's no xp to be earned, but for others (generally speaking) awarding xp say after each chapter might be an incentive to do the same, from which in the end the story would really benefit.

[Silhar]

What are my ideas on awarding good roleplaying? Well, one of my ideas you've just seen. I award interesting (from a role-playing point of view) actions right away with small amounts of points. In PBFs it's much more effective than dealing them out at the end of the chapter.

Is it okay with you?

[LuckyDee]

Yeah sure, I was just wondering what more tricks you might have up your sleeve.

[Silhar]

Enough for me to need my mom to sew me up some additional sleeves to my jacket. ;)

[LuckyDee]

Niiiiiiiiice :P

[Klear]

If we ever get this finished, I'm going to combine all the posts in a one big .doc file and send it to a couple of my friends. But not now.
They hate when I show them something that is WIP.

So peoples, try to make this an interesting story!

Actually, I'm thinking of compiling this game into a short story if it proves to be interesting enough. You might want to wait for that before presenting it to your friends...

[HexaDoken]

As a player, I am outraged with the collar situation as well. Mainly by the fact that I'm totally left out of it :P

On the other hand, since I play as the "don't care about what happens around" type of character, I shouldn't expect getting into it.

[LuckyDee]

I shouldn't expect getting into it.

I don't think any one of us expects you to either. Having said that, it could of course be hilarious when all of a sudden you make some kind of move with this (eg make the remote 'disappear', use my neck to blast open a locked door), especially because no one would expect it :)

Although it's all a matter of thinking 'what would your character do with this'. By the way, as we were discussing previously, do you intend to keep the name HexaDoken for your character as well? I'd like to call your characters by his name, also in OOC posts, but using the same name for both can be really confusing.

That's why I'm MkLear is calling him Hex. The fact that one of the potential important NPCs's name is Hax is just a coincidence, which (I hope) can at some point create some measure of confusion.

@HexaDoken You'll get your chance to shine later, I'm sure of that. Also, woo! 1000 thrones! Let's get wasted.

[Klear]

The prices around make me think that thrones are far not the smallest unit of money in this world. If possible, I'd like to know how much, let's say, dollars is a single throne worth. So I could have a general idea how much non-gameplay stuff I can buy(for example, if I can spend the abovementioned throne on some beer for me and my newly aqquired friends.)

Have a look here:

http://digilander.libero.it/Ilbisontemorto/Dark%20Heresy/Support%20Files/Armoury/Armoury.html

There's an explanation of the Throne currency and down are links to lists of how much whatever costs.

Amasec is AFAIK the alcohol of choice in the WH40k universe. I suppose this is a cost for a whole bottle. A glass or two in a pub ought to be a little cheaper.

BTW, you could get 1000 bullets for 50 thrones. I wonder if drinks are expensive or bullets cheap...

[Silhar]

It's a lump of sad truth about this world, but bullets are cheaper than food.

[LuckyDee]

MkLear gets awarded with 20xp

Stop this, you're making the rest of us look bad ;)

By the way, @Silhar, I'd like to continue the IC thread, but it feels like something's missing. Maybe I'm just getting the info wrong, or are we supposed to exit along the same way that Van Bohr came in through? Please elaborate.
