I don't have the book for this but it looks pretty interesting.I have some ideas for a character(Butler bot stuck outta time), whilst i normally play mostly dungeon crawls and combat heavy games this would be an interesting change of pace. my e-mail is azmilion@gmail.com my skype is azmilion.

If there are any major fuckups in here please do tell.  This is the Logo and text on the back of his jumpsuit, the striped through bits are scraped and damage, apparently done by Custo himself quote:I am a Mechanical nano who Works Miracles.

saberwulf, I updated my sheet abit but have a question, as far as i can tell i get the knowledge about the numera skill twice. Can we change that out for something?(gear/other ability/whatever) I also worked on his background and disability a bit since i wasn't entirely happy about it.

Awesome! Looking forward to this, lot's of busy fornthe next weeks but daily posting will happen, there might be a phonepost every now and then but i'll keep up with the thread. Custo was a silly idea on my end that ended up turning into something better than the original concept. As for the inter-party stuff, do we work that out amongst ourselves? I have a couple of ideas as to whom could think custo is supernatural.

I put mine in the game thread since that's how i usually do it. Also linked it in all my titles and stuff, should make for easy checking up on it. Also a quick question, Do you want us to roll dice for checks and such? since it appears that all we need is a d20 for that. AzMiLion fucked around with this message at 13:20 on Nov 20, 2013 |

Okasvi, You okay with me putting Vance down as the one who thinks that Custo is a supernatural/divine being? I asked in the game thread but you didn't respond. Anyone else want to be thinking ths about Custo in case Vance doesn't want to?

Yeah, it's fine. I don't mind it, appears to suit the Axe McGruff. Now to carry on Custo's noble tradition to not be impressed by anything and attempting to be nice again, we ran out of bags to throw at them right?

Good thing i remembered that Custo is somewhat wellknown. or this would've gone differently maybe. Enjoying the game a shitton by the way! E: my proper gamepost will be somewhat later today, since I'm currently in class and such(Thursday is my slowpost day) Also, I'll be away this weekend but i'll try to sneak a post or two in.

Friar John posted:Nah man, I love far-flung-future-fantasy, and this game scratches that itch pretty well. My only worry is that Bardakos is only good for hitting things (and taking hits), and that I'm a bit limited in terms of role-playing effectively. For example, with my last post, should I have rolled something like "discern truth" even though I've got no skill remotely like it? Bardakos is a great character. Really balances out the party and has had some great interactions so far. Bardakos and Custo both have a very defined personality, they're almost polar opposites. wich amkes from some great improvisation. Sorry i flunked on posting yesterday, got home at 12PM from college, then promptly flopped over asleep.

Saberwulf, I hosed up in character creation, my intellect pool should top out at 17, not 16. This is because mssed a number when putting down my various bonusses and such. Mind if i change it over? Don't have the time to confirm it in the rules but according to the numenera character creator can also top out at 17 http://www.prime-junta.net/numenera/index.html

Just chiming in here to say that i've been enjoying the story inmensely so far to the point that i check the thread an unhealthy amount. I hooe Custo has been fun to DM for as well since i have been making some stuff up on the fly and this is the first time i've actually played a character and game this wordsy, that tale took me like an hour and i only just noticed it all somewhat rhymes  , sorry if custo is going a bit overvoard on the visual aspects of it. He is just so drat happy to be performing again with his first friend graddus

saberwulf, I've been enjoying the hell out of the game so far. The Whispering lurker thing that happened was not what i expected to happen at all. Also love the fact that Custo has had a bunch of development and background being expanded on by both of us since i get the feeling we have the same general direction to take him in. For my question, since Custo is a synth, can i have him walk in the lake after Nara? He basically runs off of some form of battery and has spent ridiculous amounts of time underground without oxygen so in my mind he should be able to but if you're not OK with it i'll axe the post that i'm about to make in thread. edit: if you want me too i could spend might or intelligence for either not breathing or managing energy processes whilst underwater.

saberwulf posted:Yeah, that's cool with me. I imagine he's shielded somewhat, though if he enters deep enough water, or uses a lot of additional power, I'll call for periodic checks. I'll use GM's discretion on what constitutes both. Makes sense that stuff costs more power down there, I like to think of it as Custo using the Ward skill to keep out the water, so he's not so much actually getting wet, but pushing the water away from him.

Elfface posted:Much more finesse than Nara's 'Just don't breathe' approach, certainly. More technology mostly. and if you find a matching port on Custo it'd be even more technology. Would be funny to have some form of hardlink between Nara and Custo. If the tech advancement keeps up we'd be a party of mutes that speak to each other telepathically by the end of the adventure. On a side note, I need to go and find me a bunch of sound effect youtube links, I spent half an hour looking for a single instance of a windows Stop/Critical error noise, couldn't find it. Would've gone in the post where Custo reboots. Maybe next time! since apparently everythng backfires on Custo lately, same thng goes for my other character in the other numenera game at the moment. He managed to flip/crash a cart and flee the crime scene. This was after somewhat annoying the caravan leader as well. Numenera with good DM's is fuckin great.

Should i add the fact that Custo is somewhat waterproof to my character sheet? Linking the post you explained the mechanics of the system in, Would make it easier for both of us to keep track of Custo's "Features". Also, if this place ends up being related to Custo's history he might end up becoming Comrade Custo, Friend to all. in which case, you clever bastard.

Saberwulf, I took some liberties in the post i made, mostly about what custo sees and hears once he entered the datasphere. If you're not okay with that please say so and i'll stop doing that. Trying to gget across that custo's a bit disturbed by the things he saw at the lake, on the dish. And the memory thing is mostly related to his backstory stuff, not so much recent times. I also think we are roughly in line on what we both think custo was in the past but that might not be a discussion for this thread since it's supposed to be a big unknown for him as well.

Friar John posted:It should tell you how much we enjoy the game when we start jonesing for our fix after a day or two Yep, Numenera is a great system and saberwulf is a very entertaining DM. I've been reading through the rules and stuff, seems there's a lot of potential for mutations and changing your character but nothing specifically for synth/robotic characters though. Should we eventually reach a campaign with flying dragons and that kinda stuff Imma start looking for a jetpack module for custo

Friar John posted:I have to admit that's far less intimidating, but still convenient. Also, I should still look at ways to get Bardakos a ranged weapon so he can do something that's not poking things with a sharp point. Find a high-power man portable winch and a spear? This would basically turn bardakos into scorpion from mortal kombat but I don't see a problem with that.

Just wait untill we find wherever the hell Custo's from. definitely going to look for blueprints and weapon tech if we ever find that place. Maybe even find a upgraded body for Custo or Nara

saberwulf posted:Funnily enough, I've had a group kind of do that. Ran a pathfinder game with players exploring an old Dwarven hall, and in one room was a lodestone pillar that would violently magnetize if certain floor panels were stepped on. When a big floating head monster came out of a crypt in the wall, the players took the metal grappling hook, shoved it through the big ugly's eye and hooked it into his skull, and then the steel plate brute of the party stomped on a panel. Suffice to say, it was enough force and speed to tear the skull clean out of its face. Takes me back to one of my DnD campaigns i was in as a player, long story short. 4 Character of wich 2 were sciency/tinkery types led to some interestnig modifications to the warforged partymember. Some features include but are not limited to a magical fold out sheld, a flamethrower, and wings. The thing was basically the V2 Gundam by that point.

Hopefully I'll be back just in time to be rescued from drowning by a flying car. Worst case scenario Custo runs into the lake baywatch style and drags you out. Also, saberwulf. I have some questions about Custo and his internals, But that might be a better idea to do over e-mail? maybe? Mostly due to the fact that he is a mechanical creature ish, without the mech tag. What would cause that and should Custo even have a clue about it at this point? He knows he's obviously not a Human but I don't know what he should think.

I think it's a good sign that people are replying within hours of saberwulfs posting, shows how  we are about this game. Still having a blast and thanks for the e-mail wulf, it answered most of my questions and opened up a bunch of new ones which will have to work themselves out IC. Just have a slightly better understanding of what Custo is exactly ish myself now. and the other thing will come into play soon I think.

I've got a good chunk of a post written up but it'll sadly have to wait until the afternoon— I have to wake up in less than four hours and I need every ounce of sleep I can get. Expect datascapes, hallucinatory memories and most likely some fancy new loot when I get the post out. Trust me, it's going to be a weird welcome back. If it ain't weird it ain't Vortex.
