SLA by internet

I think it would be beneficial to the squad if I got Driving Skillz and bought an APC to get us to missions quicker.

The SLA rulebook was on my other computer, and I cant find another copy anywhere, so I don't know what this would cost me to get.
My Vehicle Skill is 4 at the moment, and I have 9 experience to spend on it. I am also willing to spend any of the money I have on buying the APC.

A skill up costs as much XP as the skill you're going to.

Ie.
Skilling up to level 5 vehicles will cost 5XP.
Skilling up to level 6 vehicles will cost 6XP

You have to get 5 before you can get 6, obviously.

The best way to get an APC is to start with vehicle advantage rank 10. That's pretty much the only way in fact, for most vehicles really.

Could everyone post a Physical description of their guys to me via PM or here?
I'm thinking i want to do some arty stuff, it would be nice to be able to illustrate all of the Five Punks.

I was thinking of asking you about that, as I thought about it the other day but don't really have the skillz. I did start a picture of Haynes at his desk that I may finish at some point.

I see Gek as a tall, scarily thin guy. Like, sunken cheeks thin. The Chainaxe would have to be pretty prominent, so maybe he has it painted or some lark.

Hair would maybe be dark, longish and tied back, or perhaps in a Topknot due to his Japanese-Russian heritage.

Just FYI, the Vehicle thing is an advantage and not a skill. You can't do anything to it after you've made your character.

Fair enough. If Gek dies horribly in the future, i'll probably make a Pilot and Navigations guy to drive around and maybe fly some kind of fabricated gyrocopter.

deject the wraith raider has rather light skin and his hair stalks are basically white. He looks a lot like a ghost in fact. He's fairly tall, taller than the average human and his build is average for his height. deject's armor though is painted fairly dark, in a shade of gray that matches the majority of buildings in Downtown.

New Hardware catalogue goteim! It's a revision of the old three plus some new stuff. Plus, now it's in new colour PDF-o-vision with nicer pictures and better formatting. New stuff supercedes old, so your Long Knife has been nerfed a bit Deej. Sorry.

meh, I really haven't even used it yet. It still has fairly high damage so it should be fine.

It was particularly powerful as it was, surprisingly so. I think this is a result of me wanting to up-power melee weapons previously to encourage their use (in hindsight they have other benefits), and me not proof reading the stuff in my old Hardware magazines. Some of the stuff in there was truly terrible (stuff I'd nicked off the internet).

Hmm, I was going to buy some gizmos like Grimmie's, but now my interest in the Jade Perception gear has been aroused.

Although I'm nowhere near the Protect level needed yet, would the Jade Perception gear be able to interdermalise with the rest of the Deathsuit?

Post by **Dog Pants** » December 14th, 2007, 18:33

Yep, I'd say so.

With Christmas coming up, when do we want to play the next game? I can do this friday/saturday, but that's the 21st/22nd and I expect that might cause a problem for some.

Anytime is good for me.
