Ok, will give it a try.  Hopefully won't mess up the die roll

...

negotiation for more money (12d6.hits(5)=2)



Not really sure if the amount I suggested was suitable for the job anyway, so assuming that fails (which is quite likely) chalk it up to Lynx being new at this sort of work

(Have had some discussion with other players about what I originally had written - have changed slightly  to be less specific about the nature and amount of expenses...)

(Have also been reminded of Edge   I think that's how it works?  Looking throught the rules again, it looks like my RL group doesn't do it quite right

[DiscoDwarf]

Yes, you can spend Edge to reroll all the dice that didn't come up as hits, so that's a 10 dice reroll. Also, now that you've spent Edge, any die that comes up as a 6 get to be rerolled too, hopefully to get a second hit off the same die.

2 hits out of 12 dice is a sucky roll, you should have twice that on average, and as the face, this is the kind of roll that we usually really want to succeed.

[Novocrane]

I don't think the rule-of-six applies to rerolling not-hits. At least, it's not referred to & there's no edge dice involved. Full reroll plus edge gets the rule on the edge dice.

[DiscoDwarf]

You are right, rule of six applies only if you want to add your Edge to the roll (before or after you roll). My bad.

[user-unknown]

The part about my table group not doing it right related to exactly that issue - we use exploding dice when rerolling failures and all of them explode...  I checked the book when doing this one to see what it said about the ways to use edge and I think the 'no exploding on failure rerolls' interpretation is correct.  Not sure if our table method is due to our slightly more... cinematic style, or if we just didn't read the rules properly

Also, I am beginning to regret taking Bad Luck even though it hasn't actually affected me yet

GM update will be later tonight, as I will need to get home first, and I've got an RL game to GM. Sorry for the delay.

@Ethan: have you tried this for dice rolling? I think if everyone use it would be pretty easy for the GM and everyone to see the rolls.

I use rolz.org to roll dice.
I've created a room for the Game: go to http://rolz.org/group add the name of your character for nickname and "Limited_Engagement" for the room name.

Anyone going to http://rolz.org/myroomlog?r=Limited_Engagement can see the log.

Pretty easy, straight forward and no need for registration.

What do you think about it?

So would it be worth it to roll Knowledge: Seattle Celebrities? For some reason I decided that Patches would be addicted to reading those stupid magazines about who's dating who, who's on what drug, or who's having a baby in the Celebrity world. If he's important in the music industry (and  by his dress he might be) then he might count as a celebrity.

[obidancer]

At least it could be useful to know names and company of a few from the music industry. Who knows, we may need that.

Hitch, here is a quick render of your character:

[irisheathen]

So Logic+Knowledge: Seattle celebs? (I don't add anything else right?)

[Novocrane]

Only if it's academic or professional; street and interest knowledge skills are Intuition.

[obidancer]

I'd say it is more of an Interest, thus Intuition.

5D6E5 => 2 I might recognize him....

[jonathanc]

Yeesh, what a week. Sorry about the delay....I misplaced my game materials briefly, and work has been a little thick. Glad to be back.


Irisheathen:
You recognize the Johnson; it's Darius St. George. He's a music producer. Tends to work with a lot of new acts.

[irisheathen]

Fixed the ork - troll thing. Also I'm new and Patches is new so neither of us realized that calling him by name would be a bad thing. Besides he had a really good roll so Patches was star struck.
