Talon Journal Entry for 1-20-12

We continue to trek through the complex with Kall having to check every single door on the way. Then we come across a room with a bunch of surveillance equipment in it, destroyed by the water we let into the complex of course. Continuing on we come across a gungan who was trapped in a holding cell. He goes by the name of Yosa Boss and joins our party (play 'join party.midi').

Yosa Boss L4

A quick update on the newly advanced Yosa Boss character that was just introduced.

Yosa Boss

I designed this character, so I think I should add some comments up about him.
I desided it would be fair to start him at level three for now. After this last adventure and the impending escape, it will be interesting to see how much XP they're really racking up. He should hit the levels pretty fast.

Wreck Age Take Two

So the crew over at Wreck Age posted a blurb about their next scenario on their webpage.
Not a whole lot new to hear in terms of what will be included. We already knew that we would see more about getting the community going. I'm hoping to see more of the skills and such we had mentioned earlier.

Hybrid Game for 1-13-12, First impressions

This week we took a break from Star Wars to try a hybrid game our GM has been conjuring up. It consisted of lite role playing elements, the use of Magic The Gathering cards for combat and rekindling an old but massively awesome D & D campaign. Our characters are unnamed for the purpose of seeing whether or not this style of game will work. I play the role of the son of Samuel Ryndrales who is a noble, powerful and illustrious Monk. Edward Teach and JD are also with me.

Death of Starkiller

This week we discovered the end of Starkiller, apparently dead for four years. But more importantly a Gungan and a ship. The Gungan seems to think they're all idiots. Everyone else knows they're idiots. Really though, I think I made things too easy and the group over thought, literally, everything.
"There's a door." "Open it." "There's a bunk bed." "Go to the next door" "Are you going to open all thirty doors over the next three hours?" "Yes."

The Temple

So I think I enjoyed the method I used to work on this adventure. I should include photos and scans of the information, but that would require a lot more effort than I'm going to do right now.

There is nothing so we head back down. Kall manages to hack the door which opens up to a dark room containing an active computer console and a lift. The console gives us one security option that we can manipulate so we change the IFF to kill anything that is not us. Immediately we hear explosions upstairs so we investigate. On the upper level we find a junk droid ripping apart an XS Stock Light Freighter! Kall uses his jet pack to fly up and land on top of it to stop the droid from finishing its attack. Jang goes inside hoping to at least recover the ship's navigation data. He immediately rushes back out after because of the harmful gasses, radiation, etc. leaking from the ship. We give up on the ship and continue downward.

Magic the RPG

Magic the Gathering has always been a favorite of mine. I used to play regularly and competatively. It's been a long time since I've done that, but I still have my role playing. Why not combine them? Sounds like a plan.

Bring Back THAC0!

They've announced a fifth edition of Dungeons and Dragons. Black Iniquity and I have played Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (kind of), Third Edition, 3.5 and Fourth Edition together, so I'm looking forward to this. It seems we're weird in that we enjoy a lot about fourth edition rather than hate it. Although we have had a lot of fun and a lot more experience playing 3rd and 3.5, so that's always fun.

We're dispatched to rescue a scouting vessel that is disabled and can only use it's sub-light engines, it's a CR-90. We jump to it's location, Jang arriving one day before Kall and I. Jang rigs the engine and does the necessary prep work before we arrive (preventing it from going critical). After our arrival it takes a day to completely repair the engines, just in time before another imperial patrol arrives. They thank us and we head back to home base.

Into the Temple

Finally they realise sitting on the roof does not get you in the front door. They decend and enter. Imediately they find a console and hack into the security. They then set the primary sentry to kill anything that isn't them. Explosions rock the base from above. They rush up the turbo lift to find the sentry destroying an XS Stock Light Freighter. Freakout commences.

Legend of the Hidden Temple

So soon we'll be hearing about the adventures of our crew in an old abandoned military base. My goal for this military base is to create a spider web of traps, shortcuts, and combats suitable for every skill set. The more skills and diversity in a group, the more rewards they will get and the less combat they will see. However, the challenge isn't only for people with skills. A group can easily fight their way in, kill things, break things get the prize and leave if they want.

Updates

I've been updating the blog and adding in some new features. We've gotten some hits from StumbleUpon lately so I added in a a tool for easier sharing.

I also stream lined the ads to make them smaller for now. We'll see how that works out. 

I'll be bugging our graphics guy (Black Iniquity) to get a favicon and a banner up too. 

With two months under our belt and possibly getting another gaming group on here I figure it's time to get things  going properly. For now, enjoy while we roll out the changes!

Talon Journal Entry for 11-25-11

It doesn't take us long to get accustomed to another Imperial Ship. While walking back from one of my training sessions I'm approached by a robbed figure who gives me coordinates to go to the next day. I gather up my group and we head out there and find a Star Destroyer waiting for us. After being escorted in we dock without any trouble. Awaiting us is a robed figure who wastes no time with pleasantries and escorts us to his master. Upon entering a large chamber he walks up, sits down in a chair and unveils himself. The dude is young, bald and introduces himself as Star Killer (Why are evil people always bald). He also introduces us to his dark forces, trainees of his new Shadow Academy.
