OOC Rocketjock Eatery (A Star Wars: Intervention OOC/OOG discussion thread)

I've added some details to the Jod's Starfighter Corps as I start to clean-up the Quick Reference; the update will also shed some light on Legends materials I "listed" to not be used.

 

I'm sorry for my long absence. I have been having some family issues and my computer has been a mess but I wanted to say its fixed, I'm still in and I will have my post up in a day or two.

 

Hang in there Master Selkath! I'll be praying for your situation.

 

Post be up. Now its time to get some sleep.

 

Sith-I-5, I dedicated Dude's post to your awesome one liner. I hope you like it!

 

Wow, that was a creative post with a twist that I did not see coming.

Great character development for Dude, and some recorded footage opportunity for Deputy to play back to Yav on long flights: a busty Twi'lek leaning over the droid, soaping oiling the droid up.

Yav post done to lay a route for Vehn, Master Selkath, and greyjedi125 towards the Merc pickup. Ran out of time as I have to get ready for work.

 

Hi! Old player returning after a long hiatus. I'm looking for a place to jump in. Bravo approved my character, do I post my sheet here?

Presumably you'll post your CS in the game itself.

Though as I'm not one of the GMs I could be wrong.

 

Either should be fine, sometimes it might interrupt the flow of posts but I've never had issue with it. Your preference really. Or you can do both.

Flaws / Limitations (NEW!!!)

The Force
---Sensitivity: minor if any
Biography
---Personal History: Ander grew up on Alderaan, the son of a high born family. His father owned a transport company, and from an early age Ander traveled. His Father fostered a love of learning and Ander took in culture, history, philosophy, so much so that his classmates took to calling him Priest because of his desire to understand the meaning behind it all. He graduated from traditional studies early and enrolled in the Alderaan Royal Medical academy where he studied to be a surgeon. He became friends with the Royal Family, and was friends with the Organas. He joined the Imperial Medical Force in hopes of being able to make a difference.
---Military History: Because of his advanced degree he mustered in as a Major, and became Chief Surgeon on the Imperial Cruiser Implacable. He knew of the horrors of the Empire, but had hope that it would all blow over once the Senate regained powers that the Emperor had promised to relinquish once the Rebellion was over. Once Alderaan was destroyed, that fell apart and Priest left at the next port of call.
---Traumatic Experiences: the Destruction of Alderaan.

How should I jump in?

For that I'd ask Sith-I-5 or Bravo. But welcome to the game. ^^

 

If it's ok, I'll jump to your next location in my ship. I know the ship will need stored at the secret base, but I need a way to get there. I'll write a post up tomorrow

Wildwookiee, you can appear over the planet of f Rhen Var, where the secret base is. I need to introduce that part of the storyline anyways, so the timing couldn't be better.

 

Wildwookiee, welcome.

Re.your character sheet, be advised that Alderaan only blew up five months ago, in-game. So your characters' emotional trauma should be pretty fresh.

Bravo,cheers for all that Security Station detail, plus Ted and his captor. Allowed me to use some good detail in.

Grey, glad Mahaben at least, was able to join us in the turbolift. I think you should drive the Juggernaut here and through the gates to get Winterkill, Havah and Tiaca along.

 

I will have my post later today.

 

I will get to all tags this weekend. I am working 8 to 8 Saturday, but have Monday off with the holiday weekend (I normally have Sundays off too). So I will have plenty of time Saturday through Monday to get to everything and then some. I'm taking my lazy pill this weekend and setting up camp in front of the comp. I haven't done it in a while and I miss the relaxation of working on the game for long periods of time. So, it'll be nice to get some work done this weekend for the game.

 

LOL!!!Sith-I-5 That gave me a funny visual. If the blind man takes the controls, people will get REALLY nervous! Hahaha! We'll work on something for sure.

 

Uh, I meant Winterkill driving the Juggernaut from the garrison to the CSA complex.

Anyway, now that play time has expired, I am prepping a list of "how we got off Craci" suggestions to sweep up all the active PC characters.

 

Roger that! *salutes*

 

I finally posted! Woot!

 

wildwookie, unless Bravo plans to ignore his own Merc security procedures - not a new thing by any means (just ask the Jod), the Paragon will not be landing at the "secret" base.

We'll be bringing / directing you aboard the Delicate Delinquent Immobiliser 418 cruiser in orbit.

Are you able to provide a link, or picture and size-stats for this Delta Class J-7 Escort Shuttle of yours, as Star Wars wiki does not seem to recognise it?

I want to see if it can fit inside the DD hangar, and be able to describe it in my responding posts.

Oh, and re. Coffee, while I have no objection to him appearing in the game, reading up on his rail cannons, I don't think it would be a good idea to have him aboard the Johnny Boy, but I will leave that decision to our GM.

---

We Provide Memories Wholesale

Okay-dokey, as the 24th May rolls around in our various time zones, the Craci Prime protagonists should all be aboard the Johnny Boy Marauder-class corvette.

Your final Craci Prime activities, should you wish to describe them, will have to be flashback memories, reminisces, After Action Reports.

So, suggestions from me as to how in the Original Light, you got off Craci:

Yav, Atin, Lasso, Dak, Mahaben, Boras, Ulrike, Chris Street, Ayres, Herdfeld and his two mates - picked up by Merc Airways.


Winterkill, Havah Jeth, Tiaca, Connor Harrison - the Mercs emerge from the Imperial Garrison, approaching the Juggernaut, same time as the Imperial Army command repulsortank turns up. They take care off the two corporals, and on deciding that the repulsortank is less cumbersome, quicker, less likely to attract attention, not filled with burnt bodies and not on fire, pile in, finding Connor handcuffed to a chair.

They rendezvous with Merc Airways at the CSA government complex, and are evac'd along with the first group.


Mary, Taab, Masha, Sunri, Kannari Oshi - The Mercs make their way, via the bridge, to the Luck's Gamble, undock, and attempt to leave the planet.

Nearby Imperial Vindicator-class cruiser pulls them over and says, if you want to leave, you need to take radiation survivors from the spaceport to a specialist hospital elsewhere in the star system or Corporate Sector.

They pick up Kannari and others; deliver latter group to medical facilities, then catch up with the Johnny Boy.

Kannari will be popping anti-radiation pills, might spend some time in the JB's med-bay, and some hair might be falling out.

??? - Have I missed anyone?

 

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Delta-class_JV-7_escort_shuttle. On the droid, weapons are modular and can be removed if requested.

Wildwookie, many thanks for that.

Does the ship land on those lower foils, or do they fold up?

I'm trying to find the heights of vehicles and vessels that I recall have fitted inside our hangar before - Theta-class AT-AT barge, Sentinel-class landing barge, quite possibly a Lambda-class, but Wiki is not showing their heights!

 

Sith-I-5 was reading my mind everyone. Simply put, as we have always done, come 11:59pm tomorrow (Saturday), if we're not all completed up on tags yet, feel free to use flashback posts as much as you need throughout the following days/week to tie up any important storyline details you really want to secure. There usually isn't any pressure, since we all understand the delicate balance between DRL and game operation.

Wildwookiee, the droid is approved, but like Sith said, not on the Johnny Boy. We've always had a strict "no weapons" policy on the ship, except for command staff and security battle droids. The Delicate Delinquent is Sith's baby, so usage of the droid there is solely up to him; but he is more then welcome to find a home at Outpost Nowhere, where they always need the personnel support.

Chapter 1; I will be posting a "Chapter 1" opening scroll for the game. Please refrain from posting In-Character in the game thread after 11:59pm (May 24th, 2014). I will be posting the new scroll Sunday early afternoon (May 25th, 2014). As soon as the Chapter 1 scroll is completed, feel free to post away at your heart's content on the Johnny Boy; please see the Quick Reference for a detailed reference of the Johnny Boy. We will be in hyperspace, just FYI, towards Rhen Var. We will only have the Luck's Gamble and Atin's light freighter aboard the ship; the Raptor will have been stripped for parts and equipment and discarded in space.

Craci Prime; I truly, truly enjoyed the Craci Prime storyline. Everyone did a great job and we had plenty of shinning moments! Honestly, it is---thus far---my favorite storyline of both Intervention games thus far. Everyone went above and beyond and truly made a powerful statement for the game.

Staff; please give your Staff a big round of applause! Sith-I-5 has tireless been predicting my next moves as a excellent Co-GM and is always catching things I don't see or miss and is turning my rough draft ideas into excellent final master-pieces (Sith is truly working his tail off). Mitth_Fisto has been an excellent Assistant GM, along with Bardan_Jusik, as they both have been filling in key storyline roles and helping to direct the Craci Prime storyline; Jusik is also in the process of finalizing a updated roster for our game. Greyjedi125, our former Co-GM from our first game and current Honorary GM, has been that super glue of knowledge and wisdom during our Staff ramblings of how to go about things; his former Game Master experience of his own game and extensive wisdom about online role playing comes in very handy, specially over late night text messages with me over the phone about the game. If anyone is wondering, all of us Staff are in constant communication daily, so we please know that if either one of these fine gentlemen say anything, we're all aware of it, usually, far in advance. We're like the Borg Collective.
