Looking for group

There is actually TWO P.B.P. ongoing now in the site. . .

One Gamemastered by @Solodice (where I'm playing) and that is at the moment closed for Recruiting. . .

The other (where I'm Gamemastering and sharing the "R.W. Elaborations" of other two Co-G.M. of My L.G.S.) that is based in Ariadna and narrates the (Staring) misadventures of Mercenaries (mainly Natives of Planet Dawn, with some big % of Nomads and Haqqislamites) that are tasked to "Curbstomp" EVERY ISTANCE of Teseum-Smuggling outside approved channels (and this means also COVERT Sabotage of Mining Operations by different people than Ariadnans and their selected ally). . .

At the moment I have 7 Players, but Two of them are currently on Hiatus (one because is on a Two Week Holiday in exotic places, the other did NOT managed the time to write even a single Post as seriously impaired by R.W. Issues !!), so there COULD be a POTENTIAL "Opening Spot" (pending approval by the Players). . .

Read the "Recruitment Thread" in this Section and the two Thread (In-Character and Out-Of-Character) in the main "Active P.B.P." Sub-Section. . .

In any case what GENERIC KIND of Character would You perhaps like to Play; T.A.G. Pilots or Non-Pilot "Supersoldiers" (either Gene-Modded, Heavily Cybered Up or with "Exotic Alien Stuff" packages !!) are rather encouraged. . .

 

You're in luck @Redwulfe! The Minotaurs PbP is actually a TAG centric game. I'm playing a Pyromaniac Cat Girl Gecko Pilot from Bakunin and I'm the "normal" one.

 

Maghariba is a little problematic as their "Quadraped Form" will make some typical tactical decisions impossible and other less flexible. . .

At the moment I allow some slight tweakings and variations of a Light Exoframe (based on the Nomads Gecko) and Heavy Exoframes (based on the Yujing Guijia) as the are the ONLY Combat Exoskeleton in the Basic Manual (with the unspoken sanction that Unarmed Geckos are "Orbital Spacer Exosuits" and Unarmed / Less Armoured Guijias could be "Superheavy Industrial / Building / Worker Suits" !!). . .

What is that attracts to You in the Maghariba. . .??

Being the ONLY available T.A.G. of the Haqqislamite Faction and You like to play Natives of Bourak. . .??

Or is the very concept of a Four-Legged Walking Tank / Manned "Big Drone" to appeal to You. . .??

Let Me know what You see in the Pilot Style (Combat OUTSIDE the Tactical Armoured Gear will be ALSO important) and in the specifics of the kind of Military Exoframe that You want to play. . .

I allow far more latitude and generosity in "Starting Stuff" (every character OWNS also a Robotic Butler / Military Drone / Feral Attack Pet that could be "Piloted" by their Geist). . .

@Danger Rose female Chimera-Catgirl pilot an experimental "Stealth T.O. Camo" Gecko, fragile but totally silent and able to approach stealthily foes to torch with Her flamethrowers and Incendiary Ammo weaponry; specializes in all manners of Shotguns and Grenade Launchers that can launch Fire-Based Shells (Drone is a Zondbot with small Flamethrowers). . .

@inane.imp plays a Corregidoran Exo-Mechanic that polarize fighting skills of Twin Machineguns and Twin Grenade Launchers (and is VERY modular Gecko based on the Mission needs); a versatile and multi-tasking style of combat (Drone is another Zondbot, but with an Oversized Servo-Arm Grapple-Winch). . .

@Yasashii Fuyu plays a Samurai Woman whose Guijia-Sized T.A.G. is Melee Centric and employs Holo Decoys and "Virtual Smoke" to allay and scramble enemy fire to reach in Close Combat and lay down with an enormous Teseum Naginata Halberd (has small Grenade Launchers more used for Smoke Dispensing than Ranged Combat); devastaing in Melee but still not bad with Single Shot Precision Guns (Robo "Maid" is a Karakuri Ninja hosting a troublesome Hacker "I.A. Shard" !!). . .

@loricus (the Player that could not start now for R.W. issues) is an Ariadnan Cowboy that employ an heavy "Artillery Frame"; this Pseudo-Guijia is fitted with Heavier Armour, Rocket / Missile Pods on the Shoulder and Back and usually wields enormous "T.A.G. Rifle" (at the moment firing Tankhunter Autocannon Rounds); lethal with Sniper Rifles and Heavy Handcannon Revolvers (Robo "Butler" is a Male Karakuri Frame that act as an "Old West Manservant"). . .

The other THREE Players are NOT T.A.G. Pilots and so sports far more "Enhancements" than the ones allowed to Pilots:

@Beodren plays an Ariadnan Caledonian Dogwarrior that is ALSO a Noble Clan Scion of "Mormaer Duke" Level; owns a TRANSMORPHIC Artificial Arm made of 100% Pure Teseum and fight mainly with ENORMOUS Claymore and a Modified Molotok Rifle; Command Skills to be "Team Leader" ("Pet" is a Cybernetically Enhanced Antipode with "Limited" Hacking Capabilities !!)

@oldGregg (the other Player currently on "G.M. Autopilot") had created a sort of "Arrakis Fremen" from Frank Herbert's Dune that is an Haqqislamite "Runihura" Supersoldier specialized in Desert Warfare and Survival; it is as if a Khwarji Red Turban will be crossed with a Touareg "Tech Support Specialist" with Paramedic Skills / Engineering and Military Hacking; Combat Style is Sniping from Stealth and / or Afar and launch Repeater Grenades with Guns (Robotic Drone is a Kameel / Shaitan "Hybrid Arachnobot" that enhances the Support Skills of Tech / Hacking / Paramedic). . .

@Golem2God has instead kitbashed from the Stats provided in the Freely Available Quickstart the Morat Characteristics of an Ex-Daturazi "Warrior Witch"; turned Krakot Renegade this enormous Simian Alien is a Close Combat Specialist that admires Yujing Shaolin Monks and Pan-Oceanian Order Kinights; whiel NOT a Cyborg or "Gene-Engineered" Chimera is STILL as if its Voodootech-Based Medical Treatments and incredibly Vicious Daturazi Training had "Gifted" him some "Sort Of" Limited Regeneration, EXTREME Pain Tolerance and even a sort of "Subdermal Armour" (Skin scarred to the point of being Kevlar-Like "Hard Boiled Leather"); tactical style is lob Smoke Bombs to reach Foes and waste them with Close Range Guns and Monomolecular / Vorpal Blades. . .

His "Pet" is a creature that I invented; the "Snakewolves" are Reptilian Competing Predators of the Antipodes (sort of Poisonous and Venom-Quills throwing "Quadraped Velociraptors") that needs to be thoroughly controlled with Animal Charisma AND a Pheromone Collar, as incredibly vicious and ferocious. . .

 

@Redwulfe Normal she says. Off her rocker I say. Relax kitty kat I jest.
If you wish to join us I think that would be just fine. Here is the link to the Infinity RPG Character Creator: http://infinity.modiphiusapps.hostinguk.org/.
You can get a free printer character sheet to fill out from Modiphius' website.
Here is a dropbox link to an electronic fillable character sheet where you can make adjustments to your character as the gaming session continues: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p17e6zp8dzxckqu/Infinity RPG Character Sheets - Fillable.pdf?dl=0.

 

Holy fuck, there's a RPG based on TAGs going on and I didn't join in. I feel silly now :D

 

Join us Red One. The more the merrier. You can even be a Morat like me.

 

I would like so, yes. But I have no idea how to make a character. Although I'd probably be either some heavy support dude in a tag or S5 HI analog (I like big guns and I cannot lie :D)

 

@DaRedOne In my above post. It has links to the official Infinity RPG character creator. Fiddle around with that until you get an idea of what you want. I do that before submitting my character sheet. Speaking of character sheet I also placed a link for a refillable one. This will allow you to change your character on the fly with upgrades or status effects.

I think you can be any have any of these as part of your character's background and his/her playstyle in the sessions. Any that catch your eye?

 

@DaRedOne . . .

If You want to join us then, WELCOME ABOARD !!

As for a "Superheavy Infantry Suit" like (let Me guess, BAKUNIN TASKMASTERS !!) I have to base it more or less on Basic Manual Material about a A.L.E.P.H. Combat Lhost (kind of Player Characteristics, NOT given allegiances) INSIDE an Pan-Oceanian Orc Suit (again for Rule Comparison). . .

But You know what could be REALLY interesting. . .??

Playing a TOHAA S5 "Superheavy Symbiotic Armour Pilot" that is ESSENTIALLY a scaled-down Gorgos Bio-Exoarmour. . . . . .!!!

There are A LOT OF interesting Symbiotic Armour Rules in the Basic Manual (so much that I believe they wanted to put Tohaas inside as Playable Races, but it was then cropped out Final Revision). . .

One of the more important "Medical Support Personnel" of the Minotaurs is a Tohaa Bioscientist Renegade (nicknamed "Doktor Splicer") that is considered a DANGEROUS RADICAL even for the Artichokes Standard; You could be His "Masterpiece Work". . .

And have also as "Character's Per" a nice Chaksa Ausiliary (essentially "Remote Controlled" by Pheromones) or even some "Vat Grown Critter" that will make Mutan Symbiobeast almost as meek as Chihuaua Doggies. . .!!

 

Whoa, thanks guys, you're awesome.

@stevenart74 I actually have all the Infinity RPG books purchased, so if you want to give me specific pages (by PM or whatever) I can check them out too.

However, I will be honest: I really, really hate tohaa. It's an irrational hatred, but I just want to burn all of them. :D

Honestly, I'd like something less 'in your face' thank a Tasky, so either a BlekJek or a Kriza. I'm thinking something silly like heavy weapons guy. I don't want to clutter the thread, so should I send a character concept over to @stevenart74 by pm or just post in the OOC thread you guys have here on the forum?

 

Both seem like good ideas. I would send a conversation to Steve and then also post the character in the O.O.C. thread.

Kriza sounds like the way to go then. Blackjack can work but the Kriza is the better option.
KRIZA BORAC MULTI Rifle / Heavy Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 50)
KRIZA BORAC HMG / Heavy Pistol, CC Weapon. (2 | 54)
KRIZA BORAC (360º Visor) Mk12, Submachine Gun / Heavy Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 63)
Which one of these speak to you as "Now it's coward killing time!!" or do you want to customize the loadout a bit?

 

@DaRedOne . . .

Actually being the Game based in Ariadna then I think that a Blackjack Pilot is the more sensible option. . .

Some Character that is wounded in Action and need to be Surgically / Cybernetically integrated in the Suit (that is described in the Ariadna Manual that I still don't own; but less time to Reverse-Engineer Stats) could be suitably on spot for the Game. . .

It will be YOUR choice if the Character will be "Softer" without the Armour (that will be comparably more powerful) or if it is heavily cybered up and the Suit is JUST a "Armoured Dress with Guns Added". . .

I will recommend a Kazak Character to complete the Roster of Ariadnan Nations (one Character is Caledonian, another is a U.S.Ariadnan and the Human Wife of the Morat is a Merovingian). . .

@Redwulfe . . .

Have You made up Your mind about the kind of Character that You want to play and the Model of T.A.G. that You want to Pilot. . . . .!!!

 

If T.A.G.s can be kept and worked on I think a S5 HI would be easier to upkeep would it? Besides a Kriza would be able to move around much better considering the Blackjack is clunky heavyweight. It would get stuck in certain situations or be unable to follow or keep up in others.

 

Rules for BJs exist as a separate thing (they're in the Ariadna sourcebook if you have access to that, it's not generally released yet).

OTOH S5 armour is the same as S2 armour ATM: both are simply 'Powered Combat Armour'. The difference between S2 and S5 is all role-play and what modifications you make to the suit.

 

:)

That feels when you've decided to use Infinity to RP Battletech. ;) The Minotaurs have clearly just bought themselves a TAG lance to increase their firepower.

We only have Guijas and Geckos ATM (from a rules POV). But there's no difference between a Lizard and a Guija. Move on over to the RPG section: there's an OOC thread there you can post in. Heavy body-modded Hacker / TAG pilot will fit right in :)

@DaRedOne https://infinity.modiphiusapps.hostinguk.org/ pretty much walks you through the process. Use the 12 Lifepoint system and you'll get close to your character concept. @stevenart74 has been working with the players to mod their character to get it to the power level of the campaign (which is TURNED UP TO ELEVEN!!!) :) Just start posting in the OOC thread :)

 

You can be a Haqqite that ended up being a Lizard Pilot if you so wished.
