A Time For Secrets - New Recruits OOC

This is the OCC Thread for A Time For Secrets - New Recruits

I hope you all like the name; hopefully the thread won't be around long enough for it to get old!

I will post the "Arrival" of the team at the meet a little later on today. I am trying to tie up one other things.

Love it.

Alright, it's up

yay i finally found the ooc thing for the thread!! lol

Well, I am not sure which pieces of information you require. For general information, make a general information perception test. For specific information, make a specific information perception test. For specific information about living and complex beings, make a perception test and an assensing test.
Now, this may sound like a lot of tests, but in most cases, it will result in only 1 or possibly 2 tests. You can make a perception test to view, in detail, each of the members of the group. I will give you information regarding what you see. If you're interested in their auras, and what you can discern about them by their auras, you must make a perception test and an assensing test. I will give you the information you request in the roll based on the successes generated by them.

For example: If you could find out that someone is a magically active magician or adept, and that they are in a good mood, those are fairly simple pieces of information. The first is information available on a perception test. The second requires an assensing test, but is easy to get. If, however, they were a magically CAPABLE, but not currently active person, that would require a bit higher degree of success on the assensing test, and would not be revealed at all on a perception test. Further, if you wanted to know whether or not they have lived a generally happy life, even knowing that they are in a good mood, that would require an even higher degree of success on an assensing test. Get it?
That being said, each of those things is easier to discover if you are looking for that piece of information solely. However, if your rolls are general, they require a higher threshold than if they are specific.

These are the things first and foremost I am looking for:

1. Is there any magical security at LaIbella.
2. Are there any spirits or other astral forms spying on us.
3. Are there any active spells in the room.

4. A general feel for each of my companions. Are they active? Layered down with implants? Dual Natured Beings?
5. Are there any active spells on them?

Dependent upon those answers I may possibly go deeper. Also.... I have never really used the dice thing (Castle or whatever it is) So if I mess up tell me.

Rcoverdale, you have to tell me what you're rolling for before I can tell you what you see...

Also, from now on, I would like the following for every roll in order for it to be considered valid:

(Rcoverdale, you had these, so this isn't targeted at you, but it reminded me to ask for this from everyone)

Character name
Campaign name

and in the Comments section:
What the roll components are (ex: perception3+intuition2=5dice)
What the roll is for (ex: to see if I can tell if the troll has polished his horns today or not)

Yeah I always figured to include those things in the roll.

For the rolls I made: 1. Perception ....to see if there are any spirits in the room that may be spying on us.

2. Assensing (Just in case there are what kind/about what force)

are we at a standstill or....did I do that wrong?

I just haven't had a chance to post in, there was nothing wrong with your designation

You all probably aught to do some reading on the formatting options for the posting. Then you should come up with a color scheme that matches your idea of your character. With the one caveat that Cyan is already taken for GM related information.

I will be out of town most of this weekend. I will have my laptop and my phone with me and will try to post as needed, but if I don't please be patient.

Enjoy your time off!

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/search/624658 I got 1 success not great but not horrible either... now i know to add negotiation to my characters from now on... lol

It is not a necessary skill to have... It is useful if ONE person in each group is good at it.

You do get the price up a bit, but not as much as you'd hoped.

So... What's holding us up here? What more information do we need? Are we waiting for something from me?

Sorry. Neighbor got drunk 2 mondays ago. Ripped out all the cable coaxial in building. Finally should be fixed tonight. My post will be up regardless. After work.

Rigger = Outpost2
Hacker = Darkwolf
Mage = Rcoverdale
Meat = Neurok_Shinobi

Ok, original group members are above. I realize that the title of the actual run is a little confusing, and it makes it difficult to pick out which run is ours, and which is the "original". But that is intended to be a short-term problem.

Who is still in from the above? Rcoverdale has been posting fairly regularly. Outpost2 was posting regularly for a little bit. Darkwolf has posted twice, I think. Neurok_Shinobi has not posted at all.

So this is a roll call.

Yo

I'm still here.
Just waiting to get going.

Let's leave the discussion open for another day or two. If we don't get any further response, we will discuss other options.

hey all im here sorry im visiting family this week so im not near a comp a lot but will be back around monday or tuesday.

Ok, good. 3 is enough to keep it moving. I haven't seen Neurok_Shinobi yet, so I am going to assume that his Meat is an NPC for now. Feel free to ask me on the OOC board (this one) to have him do anything you need from him.

I am inquiring if you are still looking for new members to your group
