looks like those low rolls continued into my to-hit roll :D

I was going to continue to do the damage but I couldn't find the rules for necrons so welp.

can murdelia's scruntsistant hand her the boltgun so it doesn't cost her any of her action to get it into her power mitts and then she can shoot it full auto at enemy robits?

what? no, you're already shooting with the boltgun. you just missed.

last round a single shot brought a fresh necron down to almost critical damage

I'm sorry, I'm barely paying attention to details here, I feel like the intricacies of combat mechanics just aren't that vital to scrunting.

Yo DJF, if you're waiting for people to post before you update (both here and in the DH game) then you may as well post an update and :killing:.

If you're just done updating than RIP games I guess.

ok guys i'm calling it, i would like this to end with dignity rather than drag on, and i think we're all running out of steam a bit

thank you for playing, it's been great!

thank you for sticking with this when it dragged, and for the many, many scrunty words posted and created in this goofy-rear end concept that somehow ran for over a thousand quality, in-character posts

game thread remains open for epilogue posts if you fancy it; if you're not a player or a random person RPing a scrunt, post in here instead

I enjoyed the hell out of spectating this thread and had a good time getting to jump in and contribute in my little way.

More broadly, I've read a fair few PbP games on this forum and this has been one of the best, which is remarkable considering how many of the players had no prior experience doing play-by-post. And even more remarkable considering the entire game was based on a dumb warhammer meme.

Most of the credit for that goes to Down Jacket Fetish of course. You've been an amazing, amazing GM and your effort really drew out effort from the players. Thanks man.

yah, good call. was awesome fun, but I'm just disappointed that I didn't join up sooner.

maybe the next one should be about some marines who just want to collect skulls and stand on mounds?

i'm tempted by the idea of something that facilitates swapping people in and out quite quickly, like a deathwatch contingent deployed to a clusterfuck warzone where you can jump from scene to scene easily

but idk, i will consider things re: next game later on

Deathwatch would be good for that, but man some of the first edition rules have not aged well. Rogue Trader could be a good one too (though with the same caveat as Deathwatch) because players can go redshirt on deck somewhere and replaced with one of the other tens of thousands of crew members aboard if they fall out.

I'm of the opinion of any of the old systems that you replace the combat with Black Crusade/Only War/DH2 rules w/r/t things like single shot vs auto fire and swift/lightning attack.

I had an idea for a Scrunty Dreadnought with 1950s refrigerators for fists just wrecking poo poo up defending a huge trash pile. I have no idea how that would fit into anything, but there you go.

I shoulder my share of responsibility for running out of steam, sorry everyone, but I want to take the opportunity to say that Down Jacket Fetish has been one of the best GMs I've had the pleasure of playing with, no lie. I lost count of the times I'd read an update by him that had something going g on in it that cracked me up and the amount of effort put into things like the scrunt base building rules (which we barely used lol) was amazing. Also good taste in music.

Live by the pun - Die by the pun

Thanks guys for the insane trip! It was my first PbP game and who would have thought that we could ride this meme for like 3 years? I fell of the posting wagon at some point because I felt like I did everything with Grimply's character and then just started to repeat myself which put a downer on my effort so maybe I should have given up and made room for someone else but whatever. Smelly hugs to y'all and an extra buttslap to our GM for being all around good

Yeah um, sorry about my levels of commitment to this project being uh, spotty. I swear it was at least half due to being busy senior year college commitments. The other half's on me. I'm not great at doing PbP, honestly. Setting aside like an hour to painstakingly calculate how best to win a combat which at the very best won't be resolved for like a month, while playing whatever dope-rear end beats DJT linked in his last post on a loop. Or maybe the problem was all the excitement about my character was front-loaded since I'm not a good enough roleplayer to interestingly roleplay "barely sapient garbage-monster" (because that's just too mundane and close to reality).Thanks for taking me aboard, though. It was cool.

I'm still so stoked about that drawing my friend made. I wasn't even expecting anything of that quality.


Edit: DJT is good
