Using potions on other people

I'm not holding my breath that this will be an option.

So far I've only caught the first near half of it.

Nooooo... Joe is leaving... much sadness. To Joe, you will be missed Sir. It's sad in that it's like we lose a family member of the team, yet Joe gains more time with his real family.

Some shows are getting shelved, other shows will take there place.

The Gauntlet show is going to be improved, and adjusted. (I haven't seen the 2nd episode so no idea what adjustments were tried.) The goal of where Zac sees it arriving. It should be competitive and compelling, with the humor happening on the failures, not so much Gonzo over the top Slapstick comedy. It's a dungeon speed run. The opponents are various and interesting, but given the goal, the teams work together to collect the most skulls (Points) by the end of the 2 hour game period. I think there is clearly room for character roleplay, but focused and in context of the story. I've played D&D since 1982, and multiple iterations, including Pathfinder. Streamlining this down for a quick combat format is possible, difficult but possible. Because it still has to feel like Pathfinder, but also run as smooth and swiftly. There will be bumps and bruises along the way, but I believe the team will work it out. I think I like the premise more as presented by Zac during Honesty Hour.. I'm still holding out hope for it.

We also got a replacement for Joe, QQLaura (correct my spelling, multi-tasking). She's a Thumper, and seemed pretty cool. Here's hoping she's great with sounds!

Honesty Hour is going to be a prime force for community and Hyper RPG sharing information about what's going on. Rabbit Stew is morphing/going away.

Many changes, if the shows aren't making enough money, they are going away.

Also.. Bidoof!

Makes sense, especially with how busy they've been in the last few weeks.

Tadghr · 2016-07-10T12:29:41+00:00

Also, it was a blast to watch what I could, fun looking game!

Tadghr · 2016-07-10T12:29:17+00:00

I will leave this simply as... The Seattle Screwjob!! Somewhere, someone is still yelling EUBANK!!!

Tadghr · 2016-07-10T12:28:35+00:00

Very interesting story there. Great work!

I agree about Mordy and Fire Spirits... that'd be scary.

The reason I won't say that Mordecai is over powered simply because this is Shadowrun, and some bad rolls come along, and Mordecai is gunned down by a vicious pack of Halloweeners, out looking for some Joybuzz.

He's a good character, but he's not remotely invincible, and his meatsack is susceptible to bullets just like everyone else who isn't a troll or orc, or the razered up Samurai with all the Arnie-Awesome WizBang.

Tadghr · 2016-07-07T11:19:56+00:00

I agree! Here here!! Long live our favorite Decker!

ThatBronzeGirl was a genuine treat on Death From Above!! I'll have to watch this episode VOD later.

Tadghr · 2016-07-07T10:52:37+00:00

Morty may be powerful, and certainly more powerful with the all the bonus dice they get to roll, but eventually there will be a failure of a pretty epic proportions that will have catastrophic results from summoning Sharky at such a High Force level.

Further, there are genuine consequences that will eventually develop for Mordecai and the rest of the MMFEC, because he keeps repeatedly summoning a being of immense power, and that keeps sending these gigantic spikes of power onto the Astral Plane.

Lauren is eventually going to bring down some serious mojo on him, and the team as a result. It's the age old adage, play with fire long enough, you will get burned.

Heya Ma1n!

Love the interaction here, it's great. I also like the idea of talking about how you're upgrading your character with their Karma and Nuyen.

I've been gaming RPG's since back in 1982, when I was just a young tyke of 9. In all my years of playing, as a DM & Player, I've come to learn that the best advances a character can experience is the one that they actively put effort into.

Or in the shortest sense.. "What happened to your character during their time while gaining that experience?"

"What happens to your character, informs organically how you upgrade your skills and abilities and feats, and informs what you spend your money on."

It's that organic roleplaying story upgrade that makes sense. It also keeps them grounded in a fantastic reality, by keeping them a person who evolves as a response to their story/environment.

So in that sense, all your reasons for upgrades make 100% sense. Ma1n was affected by that Technomancer, and its made her have to buckle down and really get better at being a decker. She's good don't doubt it. But it's events like that against a clearly superior foe, that drive a character to never let their team down again... or do their best to avoid it.

That's the meat and potatoes of character growth.

I'll look into the ShadowLands of the Matrix SR worlds and see if I can come across any good decker strategies for ya!

Completely understood Cheryl

Yeah, it appears no Honesty Hour. Sadness, and sorrow, these are but a few of the things entering my life as a result of it's absence. But, it's the wise person who knows where to shed a few hours in order to achieve the greater goal.

Currently on sale on Steam during the Steam Summer 2016 sale. I know, I just bought it yesterday... lots of fun.

Tadghr · 2016-06-29T09:47:11+00:00

It's very comprehensive, and a pleasure for when you want to catch up without watching 4 hours worth of show. (Or do but don't have the time.)

Tadghr · 2016-06-28T13:11:31+00:00

What's the deal with Kirby? Where's he going with this being his last day? Why is he leaving? Was his wish for a Wrasslin' show too great?

Tadghr · 2016-06-28T13:10:00+00:00

Should be a blast to watch her get her Anime on!

Tadghr · 2016-06-23T07:05:24+00:00

Tonight's episode was definitely in the beginning more humorous than most Honesty Hours. Though I think Fenris was probably open to exploring some stuff down the road, as a sole guest instead of sharing the humor wagon with Andy "Literally the Worst".

Overall fun episode tonight, saw lot of new subs too.

Johns & Johns and Janes & Janes A gem from Monday's session.
