D2, Getting the Geist: The Coordinating Thread

[Vala Roke]

Geist: The Investigating

Does anyone have any interest in this? Shall we coordinate rolls?

Vala has 4 Agiliy that could contribute to a Coordination roll. 3 Cunning and 1 Perception as another option.

[Terreck Fec'klee]

I'll be holding myself back unless we really need someone to fill. Vala seems like she has some good skills for it though.

[Zephrin Hayn]

Same as Terreck

[Tomin]

Tomin's game, but is similar to Vala on Agility, Perception, etc. with a Perception/Vigilance specific Force Power.

Survival for tracking, which looks like it might come up.

Can shoot things, not so great at melee'ing them if we end up needing to wrassle a ghost or Old Man Jenkins.

I also vaguely recognize the shape of those investigation rules and am intrigued to see how they go. ^^

Working from home today, so ping me if Tomin is needed and we're getting moving.

Adding that this might want to be retitled to Geist coordination or something since we're not asking many questions. XD

[GM Nicha]

And make sure to post up in the event if you're interested!

*Barges into the event thread like a dummy, not bothering to start off with coordinating* Uhh anyway, as the local semi-professional hunter of things I feel obliged to be a part.

Definitely fair. XD

I'm dropping in while taking a bit of a break. But if there's a someone going "damn! If only I'd been able to get online sooner!' who want to participate, let me know.

[Tomin]

Also, with a force power triggering on Perception, that was my intention for first roll. But given the 'more clues if everyone uses a different attribute' bit, I don't want to stomp anyone else's best roll there. Cunning seems central to most of the investigation sorts of rolls.

[Sirina Kichi]

I suppose I could comment something helpful. I likewise am Agi/Cun leaning. I've got survival, perception, stealth, xenology that all might help some.

[Tomin]

OK! Three section in three RL days, so let's make decisions! (GM instincts kicking in and I feel the need to herd us cats, feel free to tell me I'm being obnoxious).

All rolling different attributes gets us an extra clue, and we're gamers, so that is obviously a sweet carrot.

But there are only so many of them and we're a little clumped, so if folks are going to feel better rolling their favorite thing, even if that's doubled up with someone else's favorite thing, I trust that'll be just fine.

So, as noted, I've got a preference for Perception (Cun) but don't quite want to call dibs. I can go sit an do a Discipline roll or something and be cheery too.

Call off your favorite roll and we can get the party started

Making things less abstract, I have the following skills!

Piloting - Planetary (Agility): 1 (Species) ⬟◆◆◆ 1eP+3eA
Stealth (Agility): 1 (Species) ⬟◆◆◆ 1eP+3eA
Piloting - Space (Agility): 1 (Career) ⬟◆◆◆ 1eP+3eA
Range - Light (Agility): 1 (Specialization) ⬟◆◆◆ 1eP+3eA
Coordination (Agility): 1 (Career) ⬟◆◆◆ 1eP+3eA
Vigilance (Willpower): 1 (Career) ⬟◆◆ 1eP+2eA
Perception (Cunning): 1 (Career) ⬟◆◆ 1eP+2eA
Coercion (Willpower): 1 (Specialization) ⬟◆◆ 1eP+2eA

[Tomin]

Sure. If it helps for later choices. though I don't think we need to be super optimizing this one.

And actually spelling it out does point me at 'so how could I pull a clue out of Vigilance' Which is Will and less likely to be anyone's favorite. So I'm going to go do that before bed. :p

Discipline (Will): ◆◆⬟

Perception (Cun): ◆◆⬟⬡⬡

Piloting (Planetary) (Agi): ◆◆◆⬟

Survival (Cun): ◆◆⬟

Vigilance (Will):◆◆⬟⬡⬡

Hitting things skills ◆⬟

Ranged Heavy ◆◆⬟⬟

[Tomin]

Also, next roller gets a boost, though I'll be a bit writing this post.

[Othym]

I'm going to jump in with the obvious perception unless someone really wants to use it, ive got perception 2 - cunning 4 so by far my best roll option, at least until we run into some actual people to lie to/cheat/follow etc
