I was in a server like that during one of my first tries earlier this week. When I was poking around as an Engineer, there were guns everywhere just for the taking. A few minutes into the round, some explosions went off and the power and lights went out for most of the station. Had a leg blown off; most I could do was hobble and crowbar doors open so others could run from the zombies and aliens. All I managed to do was see a zombie, shoot the ground with a revolver, and then fall over. Folks tried to save me, but it was kinda hopeless. The chaos and carnage was amazing to watch though, once I died. One thing I remember clearly is someone saying "TURN OFF YOUR LIGHTS YOU SUICIDAL FUCKS" over the radio.

Hey Razage. You should consider doing a round where you grow Omega weed, then sell/smoke it. QM is the best for it but Botany works too.

After a while a few of the dead people got to come back as rescue agents. Anyone who made it out alive was considered to have won.

Idea for a round: play a drug dealer who refuses to ever get high on his own supply, allegedly in the name of professionalism. In reality, the character is terrified about the potential effects illegal drugs have on someone's body, and while this fear is outweighed by his greed where selling it is concerned he has never consumed drugs personally in his entire life. If, for whatever reason, the character is placed in an altered state of mind, his cool drug dealer fascade will shatter and he will freak the gently caress out.

Some parts of it can be used though, like a chemist who makes experimental drugs and likes to have people test them for unknown side-effects, but maybe showing off some of the effects would be part of the fun instead.

I am deeply disappointed that you didn't combine the Dungeon Master with the crackhead gimmick. Like, by trying to make it a D&D campaign.

I'm so glad I started following this thread. I may have to give this game another try now that I've seen the video in action and seen a bit of how the controls work. I spectated a few games some months ago but was intimidated by the complexity and never actually jumped into the game. Now that I know how to probably not beat myself to death with a shoe, I'll be able to give it a shot for real

The solution to that is to have someone in medical amputate your legs.

They'd better amputate the arms too because otherwise I'm probably liable to beat myself with the leg stumps.

Yeah, I played my first game yesterday, and thanks to this LP and a lot of wikireading, I managed to avoid screwing up too much, although for the life of me, I could not figure out how to open my box once I had started putting stuff in it. Lots of hitting myself with that. I did eventually figure it out, long after the end of the round, at least. Super fun game, can't wait to get back in to it again.

Okay, Daily Motion versions of Episode 3 are up, see the OP. Daily Motion is being annoying about Episode 4 though, but it should be up tomorrow. Also, here's the bonus reel: Clown Captain It's a full length episode but I didn't continue recording in ghost mode so I'm calling it a bonus reel. Daily motion will be up tomorrow.

Poor, poor Janitor. I played a round as Security yesterday. Had way too much fun distributing amusing citations [To The Station Ghost: Unauthorized boo-ing. Also, interacting with the material plane]. Was generally cool. Then I slipped on a wet floor and smacked the janitor with the stun baton before issuing a citation. He said he was just having a smoke break. Never trust a janitor.

I have yet to watch anything of this LP yet. Don't worry, I will. I love SS13 and I can't wait to watch this. I just want to point out at one point I was working on an outline for a story based on Space Station 13 cause I love the game that much. In case I ever do actually write it, I'm not going to reveal too many plot points, but I will say this: The story begins and ends with the Janitor being murdered. Because that is Space Station 13 in a nutshell.

Better to add sulfuric acid to the bucket, he won't notice since he won't slip in it but o god will the crew notice it fast.

I was the botanist that you tried to wake up, it was an unfortunate hacking accident. That was the one of two times it happened that round. I am a slow learner! And the banana peel was my work, I was wondering where it (and the other peels that you didn't see) went.

Looks like I can't 'cause there's music in it. The next episode is already recorded but after that I'll either setup with the creative commons music someone linked earlier or no music, it seems to be causing a lot of hassle. Also, apparently episode 4 part 2 is blacklisted on daily motion, no idea why. I'll have to email them and see what I can figure out.

Consider this my confession, I feel kind of bad about this one. I was playing as Chaplain, and while I was trying to have kind of a "God's machine must be well-kept" kind of gimmick, it was kind of subtle and I don't know if I got my point across really well. So, in its stead, I was kind of the "nice-guy" chaplain, dragging bodies to genetics, picking up messes, that sort of thing. After dragging a corpse to medbay, someone there starts swinging at me for no real reason. So I fight back with my bible. Like, serious overkill with the bible. Like, he was lucky to be breathing because he had a fuckton of brain damage. At first, I thought it was hilarious, 'cause, you know, he got what he deserved for picking on an innocent chaplain and he had kind of been a jerk all round. On the other hand, I think that I may have overdone it a little. So, I'm sorry for giving you brain damage, even if it was really funny at the time.
