>>12954578

Need to include the new unit we got. The gryffin thingy.

>>12954593
Mhm. Also I was wondering if the other form of Colossus would show up. It apparently had the capability to use weapons.

oh and for added incentive; concept art. lore. ask em request em ,

hell donate some if you'd like. I can play electronic historian to your request with holographic wax mannequins and everything !

oh and a link

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=skirmish%20quest

some marine sketches

... I'll share, OC.

Scribble made on my cell phone.

(Fuck, I've had it for over a year, and NEVER knew it could do this shit.)

This sure improve from the first dropship forever waiting on command respond.

>>12954734
What kind of phone is that?

>>12954725

For Marines, I'd suggest you make them a bit bulkier, if that fits in with the human's aesthetics. You know, bigger boots, perhaps larger pauldrons (not SM hueg, that's ridiculous). See original Master Chief from Halo. Guy looks like a tank, and would be scary to stare down if he's charging you.

Also, incredibly rough Bravo Team seal/symbol made in a moving vehicle. Wanted to add a script thingy at the bottom, but it's hard to doodle in a moving vehicle.

>>12954750

An LG Versa

>No clue, don't care, but it's cool, except the lock function is useless.

>>12954757
Bigger is not always better.
I'd prefer to stay away from the big armor type cliche. Leave that for the armor boys.

>>12954821

Well, it'd work better for the Knights.

been tooling around with sheet redesigns and strengthening the imagery behind the uniform.

its definitely bulked up a bit but I like to think that there exist skinny versions of the uniform for regular troops since they have to be re equipped constantly for space or terran operations.

What's all this then

>>12954875
I'm okay with this. And thoroughly enjoy it.

>>12954856
You have a good point there.

>>12954877

General Skirmish Quest thread. Yup, pretty pictures, if you want to know more, etc. etc.

Anyway, what's our next move, Bravo? I've been thinking about converting our little moon into a death star of sorts, considering we shot a hole through it. Any concerns, suggestions, comments, or helpful insight?

>>12954886
If I want to know more... what? I could have learned everything you said by reading OP.

Or is this one of "You had to read thread one to know what's going on, and have posted in it to participate" things?

>>12954877

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=skirmish%20quest

its a quest/game that i run semi regularly here in tg.

the premise is that you pick a unit and play as that unit in the field. your stats are believably shitty so that you and anon would have to work together , possibly even sacrifice yourselves for each other in order to see a mission succeed.

at least that was the working logic behind this game.

To date, there has been no "real" death as of yet. Each player comes with clones , just one extra before they put themselves on the line one last time. some folks hit it lucky and get promoted to have more clones.

>>12954892

Well, for the "if you want to know more," it's just if you have any questions that haven't been covered by OP or by a quick scan of the archives.

May also include "when's the next game?"

>>12954886
What exactly will we do with it?
Also will High Command rape us again?
>Switching trips

Mobile demo. . .

>>12954992

No clue, really. That's why I'm asking you guys for input.

Meh. Seems too infolved at this point for me to jump in, really.

clerical error. rifleman range is 5 instead of 4

>>12955028
It isn't.
We've been actually low on players recently. Plus, the more the merrier.

>>12955028

You'd think that but unlike most quests new people jumping in a middle of a combat situation is actually HELPFUL.

[more meatshields for one]

>>12955035
>>12955046
Honestly I don't know how I would

I always play drivers

Harried, insane, shellshocked drivers who have a low number of fingers thanks to shrapnel

that sort of thing

>>12955028

In fact i wanted to make these little engagements have very little to do with each other except for determinining where the next battle will take place and under what conditions.

example; losing the previous mission will lead to the next battle taking place on your homeworld etc.

>>12955062

drivers you say ?

[Im still constructing this sheet]

>>12955077
>>12955062

oh and the infamous bitank armor division

>>12955077
>>12955085
Transports, man

Poor bastard is really kinda sorta a civilian support and doesn't understand why the fuck he's there except to hand shit out and get the hell out.

Yes, I built a Gaurdsman in DH around the Drive skill.

>>12955098

Guess what? We have APCs. That are essentially giant spiked balls. Which are great for throwing.

:|

Really now

Really

Man I don't even

What is available all told?

Another interested anon here, this seems pretty awesome. When is the next mission?

>>12955098
>Yes, I built a Gaurdsman in DH around the Drive skill.

Nice. He might be shellshocked now, but one day he'll end up in a Leman Russ and then WHO'S INTIMIDATING WHO NOW, WORLD!?

>>12955127
PbP is hilarious, especially when you end up sneak attacking an Ork with a goddamn truck because fuck him if he kills your brommisar

>>12955109
Let's shoot for Sunday Afternoon ? I've know this timeslot to destroy people, however. So I might go later at 3. Im gonna try to do a quick battle [hoefully]

>>12955148
Not sure I'll make this one.
Then again there is an equal chance that i will.

OP here

man now that I think about it, whatever happened to Douk
i hope he does well he made aggoria fun to do.

I really don't like the new Rifleman-look. I think I'll stick with the old one.

When is the next Quest?

AIM: WolfyRifle@aim.com

>>12955148

What do you understand under afternoon? 3 pm would be alright if its kept short. That's 9pm for me.

So, uh

how do I join/play? Transport/Supply man with crazy ass routes would be fun.

>>12955195

Drop in with a name and trip, follow some loose instructions, hope you don't get gibbed.

>>12955199
I see stats. I know there's more to it than what you're saying. Spill so I don't fuck up. :V

>>12955205

That's pretty much it. OP will drop a map, an objective will be loosely defined, and usually I or some guy with a [TA] tag will start saying "go here, do that" kind of thing. Commanding officer for CO tag, tactical adviser for TA tag.

We try to lead you to victory. And no, it's not railroading, because one we are players, and two, you can easily decide to say "fuck that, I'll do this instead because it won't get me killed immediately."

updated with the new Gryffin Tank.

>Running on 4 legs for stability, the gryffin tank uses the gas-hungry quadroframe and applies Kineticore engineering to make it stand up like the rest of the bitanks.

able to fire twin Destroyer bores, the Gryffin tank can create physical holes in enemy defenses where even physical armor units can be stopped.

It is also known for its terrifying ability to gallop into enemy armor, or through walls in powerful strides.

>>12955226

What happened to that other schematic I pilfered?

Add me in AIM, please?

>>12955226

... Glorious.

>>12955223
>http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/12683190/images/1288929674714.png

Really, because it looks a good deal more complicated to me. :V

>>12955235

The one you got from the abondoned house ?

I believe it was a chimera model, along with "ways to have deployable armor by using industrial infastructure "

>>12955243

Ehh, don't worry. Most people do fuck up the first time they play. And it's not just the dice rolls.

>>12954519

holy shit you're back!

I wonder if anyone will recognize the trip?

Callsign: 'FML'

So like this?

And what about the stats for the actual drivandude?

>>12955247

I thought that was the Gryffin :|

So will we be able to deploy that one as well?

Hmmm interesting

>>12955258

Things you only need to keep track of.
>no. of kills you made / no. of drops you performed
>no. of clones you have left.

that is all

((Also, do we have an IRC for this yet? Because I can snag us a channel (not registered, though) on Rizon, if need be

>>12955255

I have never actually left.

though I should same about you.

you did like 2 sweet ass sniping missions and disappeared forever.

I was in tears snowflake

tears.

>>12955258

The vehicle is your stats, so to speak.

And yes, that's perfectly fine.

Now when a game begins, Orbital Command, or another CO will start handing out numbers arbitrarily. So you may end up being [Ag1] or [Ag2]. This is done so you can identify yourself on the game map.

Yeah, but as far as stats are concerned, it's mostly class-based, so all the stats are in the unit cards posted.

Also, as you rank up (usually by kills, not sure how an APC driver will get ranks), you can add points to your skills and abilities.

Most people also like to color their unit card as well.

>>12955265
Well, I know the first is 0, but... what of the second?

>>12955267

I have no idea how to IRC this was such a long time ago.

is there a browser base one i could use ?

>>12955270
I was busy with something bro
Im back sure is good to be home

>>12955279
everyone gets one clone.

after that combat clone dies.

your original gets drafted.

>>12955281
Mibbit is beautiful in its simplicity.

>(usually by kills, not sure how an APC driver will get ranks)
I see spikes. I see speed. I see armor. And a very neurotic man behind the wheel.

>>12955289

"Oh shit! I'm on my last life! WALKER!"
He shakes his fist in Walkers general direction

I have no class tommorow and or projects for the week
so i can quest the fuck out of today and tommorow

>>12955292

There you go.

And for an example of something that happened last time we fielded an APC, it was used by one "Mono" to drive up to a mobile land fortress (essentially a tank the size of several buildings), make a jump, land on it, and allow our game-winning troops to infiltrate and neutralize the land fortress.

We were also contemplating using a Colossus (think of it as a giant, armored Gorilla) to throw an APC at something for a sort of deployment method.

>>12955304

>Just as kills made when I bot you don't count, deaths incurred while I bot you don't count either. Because that would be dildos.

>>12955318

"They don't? Aww. And here I thought I could take credit in "winning" that engagement. After all "I" brought R00 to the Landfortress."

>>12955315

memories

>>12955330

You did get us in a good position. Although next time, investigate before shooting things, unless it's something that's all "rawr I'm gonna eat you and put mah babies in yur chest" obvious.

Ill just wait here for the next quest

>>12955339

That was so not planned! The plan was to poke the "bees nest" not to blow it up!

>>12955352

Eh, what's done it done.

Still, it's good to see some good old riflemen these days.

Still curious as to what happened to all my mobile demo boys.

>>12955356

They probably blew themselves up in a drunken stupor.

>>12955373

... It was probably Badhand. Guy had a weird luck, and his name reflected his... abilities.

Also for the memories:

PANTIES. GLORIOUS PANTIES.

Time as of this post, for me, is 2:51 AM. I'll be back in about 6-8 hours, ish. I'll watch for the thread, but it's bedtime atm.

>>12955385
Don't forget. Everything tastes like fake robot panties. EVERYTHING.

>>12955404

Heya, Hawkes. Did you just add me to AIM?

Bravo Patch 2, this time with a scroll thingy that probably has some phrase in some obscure language that sounds awesome.

And no, it's TOTALLY not influenced by the US Ranger symbol from MW2, NOT AT ALL.

>>12955475

Can't wait to field one of these babies.

>>12955475

What's their move and act counter?

>>12955488

1act
3L move.

>>12955496

you heard right, they can move and shoot.

and with that I am going to pass the fuck out and prepare for tomorrow. see you then !

>>12955511
see you tommorow

meanwhile prime yourself with this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60NKlmwBIvA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp6cB7BGj48&feature=player_embedded

This is rather amazing

I don't even know where to begin,

also made this, being an engineer I figured some kind of field tech, don't know if that would make sense in game.

Some kind of hybrid of a welding mask and a wwII German helmet

>>12955608

YOU START BY PICKING YOUR CLASS SOLDIER.

also engineers might get like a building kit.... perhaps a stationary machine gun... or a teleporter thing with a gas station........ yes.......


But no seriously I havent thought of using an engineer class since no one ever picks em or will pick em or i have no way of knowing how that will fly in a game. bskjdfvlkasf jsleep now

>>12955636

Just a random thought, felt inspired

That and I love to play support of any kind, I understand how to pick a class otherwise.

goodnight sir.

>>12955524
a quick weaboo sketch of my clone
sorry i dont have a pentab

>>12955674
forgot the pic -_-

Anyone have that pic of the Aerofighters from the Debrief thread? It doesn't seem to be on the archived thread.

>>12956545

this ?

Hmm. Did Predators get reduced hit points for aerospace games? It looks like they've only get two hearts on the sheet, but I have a saved stat sheet with three shields.

This concerns me for obvious reasons involving my health.

>>12957526

Im actually going through an overhaul of unit stats so that they be universally understood no matter which front they fight in. this includes range, weaponry etc

and this should hold over the naval forces for a while.

lots of nerf involved here,
interceptors pretty much need to move up to their targets in order to enjoy the benefits of their arrays but they are more than welcome to attempt ranged fire [with a penalty]

cruisers take a blow to health, but are given primary rail guns that act as their main fleet combat weapon. Fleet ships of this size are also given a damage reduction 1 which gives it an overwhelming advantage against most ballistic fire [things like rails or lasers however dont reduce damage]

Motherships are also held to the same health limitations and since both it and the cruiser are so big, infantry are incapable of doing damage to it at this point without first inserting themselves to it. [see: 2 sizes higher dont do shit to giants rule]

inversely, predators' rate of fire is toned the fuck doownnn
but are given an extra stock of health. missiles are sped up and explosions are a damage factor to missiles.

also i am constructing a map, for those who are curious about the status of today's scenario.

Hey guys what's up

I would like to know more about this, but it is very byzantine to a newcomer.

>inversely, predators' rate of fire is toned the fuck doownnn
Nooooo! Sharky, what have they done to your beautiful gatlings? How will you deal out death with such a wonderfully generous hand now?


>Okay, that may have been appropriate even if it saddens me

>>1295819
1. Level
2. Put points predator rate of fire
3. ????
4. KILL XENOS!!!


>>12954899
No one remembers Kilroy. ;_;

Glad I noticed this thread, hopefully everyone had a happy turkey day by the by. Got my Bitanks upgrade set up thanks to havin' total of 4 kills thanks to last time. Painted it up cause I felt like it too.

>>12958007
Same here. Is there a PDF or something other than twenty threads to read?

>>12955242
>>12958405

There. Dice are d10.

>>12955242

How does the medic work?

So you push and pull enemies and allies with that thing, but only 50%-60% of the time,

And you successfully heal 50% of the time,

Can your revive disabled units?

Should you be able to move friendly units 100% of time as if you need to move them too then heal (assuming you get 2 actions) which would other wise decrease the chance of a successful heal to 30%

>>12958564

on that note when is the next mission starting, and about how many turns are there (at 30 min a turn)

I ask as I would love to stick around and play, but it might push my D&D group out.

>>12958564

the medic has 2 actions for whatever they need to do with them.
they can heal 2 dudes
push 2 allies
pull a dude and push an enemy

heal a dude and push an enemy

pull an enemy and heal a dude

or heal the same dude

someone made an effective method for dealing with their critical action combinations by using IF THEN action.

IF Medic succeeds to pull an ally, then heal

IF medic fails to pull an alley, then pull again

etc.

>>12958592

I am working on the map right now.

>>12958592

The game tends to go till it's over, which can sometimes be till after midnight (EST)

>>12958652

humm, then what do you think, you fellows need an extra medic?

>>12958673
You can ride in my car and we can run about saving lives.
WAAAHMBULANCE IS ON THE CASE

>ask politely for more information
>completely ignored
and this is why /tg/ is forever virginal. Unable to actually deal with interest in an activity that *requires* other people's interest.

>>12958696

That sounds...amazing

Fucking doc wagon.

>>12958700

What specifically do you wish to know?

The only thing that seems to be missing is a concise version of the history up until this point.

starting thread.... deleting picture files for anti flood purposes. hold on to your hats

After midnight? We've run several that go from 10pm central to 6 am hahahah

>>12958673

Medics are always welcome. I think there's like three of us right now, counting myself.

Weather or not you actually get to do medic stuff will depend on the mission. I got to run around in a strider last time I played!

>>12958716
Any sort of easy-to-read format of the units and rules. one that doesn't involve reading 10 threads of tripfag RPing to get a couple pages of info.

>>12958814

I gave you the link to the pic but op deleted it now so he could start the quest-thread with it. EVERY thread has the INTRODUCTORY PIC!

Why don't you guys do this on an IRC or Maptools or something?

>>12958872

Because Monday DRAWS EVERYTHING and it is more awesome this way.

>>12958904

Begin

>>12958814

When I start up these threads they normally come with a useable set of rules in one or two picture files.

everything else is unit lists and stats.

Hah I went away to take care of some stuff an realized I didn have my trip on hahah
