Ok gang. Post up any final discussions by tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon. I'll be getting a post up shortly thereafter.

Nice stuff.

Sounds like you need to treat it like a zombie and shoot real life in the face.

I know nothing about hotwiring cars, but they always fiddle with wiring in the movies!

Does Peter know anyone's name?

It seems that a weekend backpacking trip turned into a winter survival expedition.

I vote that the Garek/Jericho/Zara/Peter group sleeps and the GM moves us along.

I'm with Beo. Zara admitted to herself that talking these people out of their crazy plan is futile. Bring it on.

I think we're just waiting for D to have the time to post, busy man that he is. He has posted in Atlantis recently, but I can sympathize that it is often easier to throw down a post (or multiple posts) as a player than it is as a GM.

I hear that. GMing is hard work.

Or rather, good GMing is hard work. The stories I could tell...

Hey, everyone starts somewhere. I've been a bad GM in the past and even that was very hard work, had no one to teach me unfortunately *hangs head in shame*. But I stuck to it and my 2nd time around with a new player group I fixed the problems I had with the first group.

My bad first-time GMing story probably trumps all.

Long story short: i ran Rifts and told my players to "pick something from any book." :|

I like to think my first forays into GMing were merely mediocre instead of terrible, since my games tend to be very talk-heavy and don't require many stat blocks, so I can get by on improvisation.

Better, at least, than the GM I had who ran Palladium Fantasy and stopped to spend an hour rolling up roadside thugs.

Or when he asked one of the players for a monster he could throw at the party...

Hah, I sucked with rewarding the players, I kept thinking that they should have to work for rewards without realizing they already were. I also didn't have any real continuing story. Eventually we gave up and I didn't GM again for 1.5 years, but when I GM'd again, it was AWESOME. Fixed all my problems and had a great time with my new players, but couldn't convince any of my old players to join up. :(

Sorry about that, guys. I didn't think I had anything productive to add.

Hate to be a wet blanket, but if snickers made an aimed+called shot, that should normally take 3 turns, not the 2 he has logged.

normal shot = 1 turn
aimed shot = +1 turn
called shot = +1 turn

Garek did the same thing, only his was a power punch (swing) + called shot. GM's call though, I would assume in such close quarters it's not so difficult to make a called shot, especially if he was already aiming before the door was open and combat started.

Really glad you didn't roll a nat 1, Garek is too close for comfort.
PS. all ready for another GM post, you've been faster in general (in all the games I play with D anyway) as of this past week or so, glad you've found a bit more time for the boards!
