Choose your Character: Captain Roarke: A charismatic retired British Officer, you have led men all around the world, most famously in British India. You do this not for personal gain but for the sense of adventure. You are famously bad with managing supplies, but your men love you and will fight for you until the end.

Combat Skill (How well your character personally does in combat situations): Medium
Supply Requisition (How often you get reinforcements and supplies): Medium
Charisma (How much your men like you): Extremely High
Economic Management (How well you can manage your settlement’s economy): Low

Christopher Three-Quartermain: The great white hunter, down on his luck and his finances. Great combat ability, but your men have heard of your defeats in the jungles and have lost some faith in you.

Combat Skill (How well your character personally does in combat situations): HIGH
Supply Requisition (How often you get reinforcements and supplies): Low
Charisma (How much your men like you): Medium

Laura O’Neil: Not quite the average Victorian Lady, you are using your dead husband’s fortune to give one last adventure in his memory. He was a supply officer and quite a good one at that so you learned much. You know basic self-defense. Your men don’t trust a lady leading them into the jungle, and will need to have their belief in your abilities strengthened.

Captain Roarke/Price

bump

>>6791967
Fuck you, Laura O'Neil

>>6791977
Hmmm a Victorian Lady or a fuckwin charismatic British Officer with a glorious mustache.

As Captain Roarke, you begin with a swordcane, an awesome hat, a British officer uniform, 20 reputation points, and a revolver with 5 reloads in your pockets.

Your servant Godfried will serve as your adviser and scribe for this endevor

Comb our Mustache.

Get Godfried to check our supplies

You are in Cape Town preparing for the journey. There is a recruitment office, a supply office, a bar (to pick up retinue members), and an explorers guild to plot your destination.
Where to?

>>6792022
Lets go to the bar and pick up whores and shits to help clean the ship.

>>6792022
bar, find some ruffians to go go adventuring with, i dont want do 'adventuring guild' dickless twats. barfight. recruit.

You currently have 20 reputation points and 5 requisition points. You use requisition for getting troops/men and reputation for cutting special deals. More information will be provided at the supply depot if you choose to go there.

music:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDVDUKLhc3A

You walk into the bar and punch the first man you see in the face. you buy a drink for all the ladies in the bar at once and punch your way through the place. Are you trying to recruit an economic, charisma, weapons or supply henchman? (choose to offset your character's weaknesses)

>>6792076
WEAPONS, FUCK OFFSETS LETS GET EVEN MORE DAKKA!

>>6792079
doest tho wish to engage in fisticuffs????

>>6792076
talk to the bartender, economic, gather more info about the town

After the fight is over and you are nursing shots of whiskey a man carrying a huge big game rifle walks over. He introduces himself as Winston. He is now a member of your crew. No more recruiting here as everyone is knocked out or drunk. Where to next? (explorers guild/supply depot/recruitment depot (for the grunts))

>>6792115
wow, your DMing is fail mate, ah well, nothing better to do

supply depot i guess

>>6792115
Lets get some supplies, it might make getting grunts easier.

At the supply depot, you are offered several choices. There are several catagories of supplies that are available. Food, weapons, building materials, and transports. From 1-5 in descending importance list the order in which you want to place emphasis on dif supplies.

This is my first quest man, common just trying to have fun

>>6792169
1. WEAPONS
2. Building Materials
3. Food
4. Transports
5. ????

5- grunts?

>>6792180
you arent doin too bad :)

food 1
building mat. 2
transport 3
weapons 4
(for transport and weapon, i am assuming that you have some basic essential bestowed upon you by the royalty)

Sorry last category is rum/water rations

5th=fuel lets say

>>6792221
dont worry man, please, continue :D

>>6792221
1. WEAPONS
2. Rum
3. Food
4. Transports
5. Building Materials
There we go.

are we trying to establish a colony or just adventure?

1:Building Materials
2:Weapons
3:Transport
4: Food
5: Rum/Fuel

You get the highest quality building materials and very good single shot rifles and weapons as they are very important. You get some low quality military trucks and some horses for transport and you use basic military rations for food. In the extra space you stuff rum rations and fuel canister, this might be a problem in the future.

OPPORTUNITY: you may spend 5 Reputation to got either : 2 Gatling guns
A mortar
Premade Barracks
Extra Fuel
Dynamite

You are trying to establish a British Colonial Outpost in the middle of the dark continent for profit and Britannia. So more colony but with aspects of adventure

>>6792272
barracks

GATLING GUNS

SHOW THOSE BLOODY WEIRD SKINNED WHAT FOR EH?

>>6792272
Extra Fuel.

Gatling Guns

More Dakka

Remember if you dont spend the reputation now there will be other opportunities.

You have purchased 2 good quality gatlings and a large amount of ammo, though you might require more later. There are mounted on Artillery carriages. Would you like to go to the recruitment office get get grunts or to the explorer's guild to get a royal mandate and a destination first?

>>6792339
destination, find out what kinda grunts we need

>>6792348
I agree with the intellectual anon

You are at the grunt depot. There are several types of people. You can get up to 200 men, and if you spend 5 reputation you can get another 50. They come in blocks of 50.

Rifles: Ex army vets best in combat, not to useful for non army stuff but they are sappers to an extent

Workmen: Builders, clearers, miners, lumberjacks, these guys are really useful but no good in a fight.

Hunter Mercenaries: Much better in combat than soldiers, but likely to rebel if things go sour and refuse to do any grunt work whatsoever

Experts: Geologists, retired workers, these guys know there way around africa but are likely to rebel.

Native guides: spend 5 requisition points to be able to get native guides. These dont count against your troop numbers.

Remember, you get reputation for discovering things and doing great acts, but right now its a limited resource. 15 is all you have right now.

>>6792395
2 workers
2 rifles

native guides

>>6792395
Just hire a bunch of rifle-soldiers. They sound the most versatile and reliable.

>>6792424
but we're trying to establish a colony ma, we'll need guides and workers to establish a firm Base, 2 soldier will do for now, i'm assuming there will be other ways to get military support

You hire 2 blocks of rifles and one block of workers to start with. Can I get a confirm yes/no on the native guides and on the last block of men? 3/4 troops slots filled.

>>6792448
you said they didnt count against troop count

Alright you guys confirmed the guides, what do we want for last troop block?

Is this pic from a game? If so what game?

We definately dont want the mercs, but the experts sound nice, and if not then i guess workers.

>>6792457
meh, mercenaries, the rifes can keep them in check and they might be useful in dealing with any natives or other rapscallions.

>>6792457
I suggest Experts, they should be able to help us get settled easier in the new territory. We have high moral too, so revolt shouldn't be too much of a worry, especially since Native Guides can help us find good sources of food and drinking water.

>>6792484
yea, cancel my suggestion of mercs, experts, not native guides

You hire some experts to fill out the last block as you've never been to good with economics and those mercs seem like bad fellows. Godfried suggests you head to the explorer's guild to get royal mandate and to figure out a destination. What do we do next?

experts


save reputation for something really good. We don't need guides.

>>6792521
Explorers Guild. We need to know where we are headed.

>>6792521
follow my man godfried, btw, isnt godfried the name of the robot in your tenpenny tower appartment?

You cancel those guides as a true officer of the crown should be able to rough it. You head to the explorer's guild. Do you want a

King's Mandate- (more troops and money support, medium tax)

Industrial Mandate-(more weird tech and worker support, heavy tax)

or Foreign Mandate-(more mercs support, chance of being overthrown, low tax)

>>6792561
industry is essential

this newbie is alright. Someone sup/tg/ this?

>>6792561
Industrial Mandate. Our MASSIVE MORAL will keep people from getting uppity at high taxes, and it wouldn't be steampunk without weird tech, would it? Though it would be nice to find someone to help us with economics stuff before we go, if possible. Maybe some of the people at the bar are feeling better now?

>>6792575
>weird tech is essential


fix'd for victorian lightening gun awesomeness


Also, seconding industrial mandate

By overwhelming demand it is an industrial mandate. btw, the tax is from your profits not your grunts. Getting another retinue member might not be a bad idea, but it would cost you another 5 reputation. Y/N?

>>6792624
save it for later

>>6792634
this


Square up our affairs, board ship and set off FOR KING AND COUNTRY

>>6792624
Oh, well that's even better! I thought the taxation would affect the common class, but if we are going to be governing the settlement then yeah I guess it would come from us. As long as we make something that we can profit from, it should be all good.

We have 15 points left right? Then I say we spend 5 to get an economics aid.

okay, you go back to the explorer's guild to finalize. You have to choose your hopeful destination.

River Settlement- Easy to recieve supplies, easy to get to, native tribes might be a problem, other explorers might find you, unlikely to find grand treasure.

Treasure City- you establish your outpost on the outskirts of an abandoned city. You might face fierce resistance but there would be big rewards, making it easier to pay those taxes. Very hard to resupply. 5 Reputation cost to do this

Jungle mine (suggested)- you find a small vein of a mineral and get working, medium all round

>>6792685

GLORY TO THE EMPIRE LADS

>>6792609
Was Tesla Victorian-era?

If yes, insta-win.

There does exist a portable arc-gun, but its range is measured in inches - it's more a deterrent than an actual weapon, although since it's shaped like a suitcase and it's filled with batteries, it would make a decent club.

But figure out how to put a 10kW resonant coil, with power supply, into a portable device, and there you have it: a dear-Jesus-what-have-I-created lightning gun. Although its range would be weak at best, the noise level and the light show would be terrifying at close quarters. And anyone who did get struck by a bolt, well, he's going to have some nasty burns. Those arcs are really goddamn hot - and if you find a way to limit the output voltage to merely ludicrous (rather than indescribable), increasing the power output will be increasing the amperage. Amperage is what does the damage.

>>6792685
hmmmm mine sounds good, yet our men our certainly not profecient in jungle fighting, and our supplies could easily get cut off, i suggest river settlement, focus on development, trade, etc, whilst sending parties of rifles into the jungle in search of what is not at the river(treasure)

Can I get a confirm on treasure city? And yes among other things including gliderplanes launched off trucks (atlantis anyone), lightening guns will be available later

>>6792737
nononono, anything but the treasure city, HORRIBLE idea gents, shall we not keep our heads clear wot wot

can someone save this? I g2g in like 10 min

Next 3 posts will decide settlement type.

>>6792768
cant mate, i got work soon as well

river

Confirm on river?
I will create an 1d4chan campaign page for this

noooo treasure city

we have gatling guns you fools!
What can spears do against MOTHERFUCKING GATLING GUNS?

Okay next posts will decides btw river and treasure city, mine is now out of the running.

We shall mine this mine wot wot.

>>6792779
No to treasure city, go for jungle mine. We made a choice to have no so good quality supplies and have crappy economics, we could end up starving if supplies are hard to get.

Also, are we gonna go try to find economics aid after we leave the guild?

>>6792875
Crap, long post means I didn't realize mine was out. Vote river.

looks like there was an objection. okay. You are heading out into the jungle in search of a great city. As a confirmed destination your experts that are part of your band have told you that there is a silver vein here. You hope that no explorers or native are here, but only time will tell. After dinner i will start the journey part of this. Someone pls save this.

>>6792903
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH VICTORY
