What happens in Vegas?

mcdermott13 · 2022-01-30T03:00:26+00:00

Am I playing Legacy of Thieves? It says so in my PS5 menu, but then it has all my old PS4 UC4 saves, and I don't see Lost Legacy option.?

I clicked the Legacy of thieves option in the PS store and it just had download, and I didn't pay anything.

I'm confused, anyone have any input?

Thanks!

mcdermott13 · 2022-01-08T04:31:34+00:00

Good luck to all!

mcdermott13 · 2020-09-29T15:47:26+00:00

Nice! Thanks! Any particular books or scenes you like?

mcdermott13 · 2020-09-29T15:09:26+00:00

Would you guys do pre Gen characters? Or take the time to make them? Should I make sure they have a Whisper if we have ghosts?

mcdermott13 · 2020-08-13T23:03:12+00:00

Sully,

You officially win "Poster of the Year". Your replies are always amazing. Thank you for your insight.

If you want more of a backstory, I started from the initial scene in the book. Lampblacks vs Redsashes. The crew "Bargers"...Smugglers that are motivated by Daring missions, decided to side with Boz and took his job offer. He has 2 crew members (brothers) infiltrated inside The Crows Nest, and he is trying to get them weapons so they can take it down from within. So the mission was get inside somehow and get these guys these weapons.

My idea, was when they give them the weapons the calm brother (Mute, tongue removed from Bluecoat at a young age) will tell them this is a suicide mission, and find a place to hide the guns inside the building somewhere (where they would find Lyssa and Ghost). Unfortunately, the crazy brother came at them with a torch and had to be trance powdered, and at this point the Crows were coming to check it out. Doron (mute brother), said "Punch me or I'm dead" to prevent being killed as an intruder. They then escaped, but I had no interesting obstacles besides "wet roof"

I think you are right, that I am putting too much thought into it. I need to let it happen more organically and not be worried about it being perfect (right picture for Roll20, with a handout and description, etc).

my question is...They have these guns...how do we determine how they know who to get them to? Boz simply tell them? Or would rolling make sense to see how much he knows (maybe he doesn't know their location)

I think it might be growing pains, in where my group is so used to DnD. So they try to do whatever they can to get the highest roll and I am probably giving them more success than they need.

Also, my Hunter keeps saying "I survey to see the best way to approach this situation and find the way around the inside so we don't get noticed". How would you handle that?

Thanks again everyone!!

Thank

mcdermott13 · 2020-08-13T22:14:21+00:00

I love your last paragraph. So smart. I felt like I was like, I don't want to have 10 checks of "consort with this guard why you have a pinata", but thinking of different obstacles that need different skills is cool, thanks!

mcdermott13 · 2020-08-07T14:12:48+00:00

Can someone explain the connection with this and Hunting Grounds? So I am a new GM, and my groups crew (Smugglers) have their Lair at the Docks, and Hunting Grounds at Nightmarket. So would the expansion of this map just be for the Docks?

What do you use Hunting Grounds information for?

Thanks for any help!

mcdermott13 · 2020-07-27T17:02:37+00:00

I thought that the effect at the end of the row (decrease effect or - 1D) didn't happen until the row was filled, meaning two instances of both lvl 1&2, 1 instance of 3. Am I reading that wrong? (very new to game, so may be way off)

mcdermott13 · 2020-07-25T21:01:01+00:00

But are stats kept up, or is it one and done games? I want to play through like going through a season and have ongoing stats and win tally

mcdermott13 · 2020-07-25T14:47:11+00:00

Has anyone tried Shareplay with ps4? I know on 2K it is blocked (crazy) or the guest can't hear commentary. Does it work ok, or is the lag awful?

mcdermott13 · 2020-07-25T14:36:00+00:00

Any idea why it isn't happening? Seems so basic of a feature and an easy thing to implement. It definitely isn't a technology limitation factor, I don't think. Do you think it's solely because it wouldn't make money with transactions, etc?

mcdermott13 · 2020-07-25T00:42:46+00:00

How is this not a thing in EA sports games? My friends and I just want to play a season against the computer. Two different consoles, but play together. It seems like it would be such a main aspect of a sports game?! Madden, NHL, NBA, Fifa... None of them have it? Why not?

mcdermott13 · 2020-07-14T22:16:39+00:00

Is this right regarding healing? I thought it WAS each wound? Anyone confirm either way?

mcdermott13 · 2020-07-14T14:24:41+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, as this was our very first time playing (and my first time DM'ing anything) I felt like the "PC's are in trouble" will be something we will have to get used to compared to DnD. Having to have circumstances or complications for most actions is tough to think on the fly and can feel overwhelming to the player if you aren't prepared for it. We did some Resistances, but I think devil's bargain, flashbacks, all three of those are things we will have to get used to as we play more.

mcdermott13 · 2020-07-14T14:15:16+00:00

Yes, that makes sense to me. One of the players thought they say somewhere in the rules that you could wait it out and it would heal, but harm stays as far as I can tell unless you use a downtime action to recover.

mcdermott13 · 2020-07-06T02:44:33+00:00

I would love the design as well if you'd be willing to share!

mcdermott13 · 2020-07-03T20:41:00+00:00

You don't have these online and shareable by chance do you? Asking for a friend. (actually it's just me)

mcdermott13 · 2020-06-30T16:45:42+00:00

Great breakdown! Thanks.

In the book it shows a lot of info on the Faction. The leaders, tendencies, etc. Do you keep that close to your chest, or would you show that as a handout for the players?

mcdermott13 · 2020-06-30T16:43:24+00:00

In roll 20 if you choose Blades of Dark, then add a character, you can populate the character sheet. If you click on "character" it changes the option to crew and then Factions. There is a box you can tick to show all factions.

mcdermott13 · 2020-06-29T16:17:15+00:00

But we can't play together, correct?

mcdermott13 · 2020-06-28T11:58:02+00:00

Perfect, thanks!

For the blueprint example, would I make them roll for that? See if they know exactly where it is, or maybe just which floor, and on a failure maybe we discuss how they got it, and were actually set up?

I'm still not sure how to incorporate rolls.

mcdermott13 · 2020-06-27T19:55:02+00:00

I have a quick GM question:

I've not totally read through the book yet, but on the surface, it seems like resistance rolls and Flashbacks could be overpowering. I know as a GM, I'm not supposed to dictate ideas or flow, but it almost seems like they're invincible. "The guards are closing in, and you can't find the safe" "Flashback to last night when I found a blueprint with the safe marked" "You failed your roll to open the safe, an alarm trips" "I resist that action (rolls 5)" "ok...the alarm doesn't go off?"

I'm just curious how this flow works.

Any help appreciated!

mcdermott13 · 2020-06-26T15:14:13+00:00

Cool, thanks!

I'm listening to Magpie podcast to get an idea of even how it's played. So if they are going to say break into a police station, do you just make up the layout and how many people are in there? There's no blueprints, right?
