Sorry guys, got no internet right now so I'm just sorting a quick update for you lot. I will get the losts up as soon as internet is back so I'm not burning data.

Ok, should have the internet back up by the 13th. Sorry for the delay guys, as soon as it's back up I will sort posts for you (just can't do it properly on my phone).

Ok, I am temporarily back online, hopefully it will stick. Sorry for the delay everyone, and I hope you are all ok to carry on.

So: @Edgehawk , @Tramp Graphics and @Jonas Shaaf are racing, what are @Shlambate , @Jawa4thewin and @TheShard doing?

@Rabobankrider can I inspect the bikes with mechanics? I think you skipped over my question.

Hal is watching

@Shlambate , sorry! Are you planning to look at the racing speeders or the ones parked around the place? It's an average check for both, but a setback for the ones about to race because with them being so close to starting you won't be able to get too close.

Can I give the guys a warning if I do? Like what they are up against?

Sure, you could rush out to them like the doc did, or shout out. You just won't be allowed to go all over the other racers bikes/land speeder while they're on them.

: 2eP+2eA+2eD+1eS 1 success, 4 advantage

Ok all, the landlord still hasn't sorted my internet (I'm doing this from a pub with wifi), so I may go dark for a little bit again. They are now saying it will be done by the 19th, so hopefully I will be back to businesses as usual.

@Shlambate , you can tell that the rodians bike probably can't reach top speed without shaking itself apart, the landspeeder is mostly for show and isn't actually thst kitted out for racing, and that the speeder bike is probably the only one there that's had work done to race. You would have time to let the others know before the race starts.

I know I haven't narrated the race starting, but can I get the racers to make a piloting planetary check (no difficulty) please. That way when I'm back online I can get you guys straight into the action.

Piloting-Planetary : 1eA+3eP 3 successes, 2 advantage

Piloting (Planetary) : 2eA+1eP 2 successes, 2 advantage

Awww nobody wanted a boost in the race 😫

Maybe later.

Ok guys, my landlord STILL hasn't sorted my internet, and the date has now been set to Friday. I'm going to try and see if I can use a mates but in the mean time I'm still going to be inactive. Sorry again for this, hopefully it'll be dealt with properly soon.

I am finally back online! Keep your eyes out for a post tomorrow or the day after, as I will try to get things back to running normal. Thanks for sticking around everyone!

I hate your landlord!

@Jawa4thewin , ah, so do I.

@Jonas Shaaf I just need your piloting check for the race order as well.

I've also just realised (an oversight on my part, I don't do a lot with vehicles usually) that I don't have stats for @Tramp Graphics 's or @Jonas Shaaf 's vehicles. If you guys can get those sorted that'll be great.

Below is the order for the race (I am assuming you are all punching it as that is what the NPC's will be doing).

Race Order and Leg:

1. Rodian: 1st leg, speed 2, 1/2 strain
2. Wheeler: 1st leg, speed 2, 1/2 strain
3. @Edgehawk : 1st leg
4. @Tramp Graphics : 1st leg
5. Kriff: 1st leg, speed 2, 1/5 strain

Future checks will be made using the terrain rules for difficulty (speed=difficulty upgraded by silhouette divided by 2). This check is more to see who is on the ball enough to be off the line first.

Can any of these vehicles actually take the system strain such a maneuver would incur?

Edit: It looks like each of the npc vehicles took 1 Strain. I thought it was 1 Strain per level of speed increase, so punching it from 0-5 would incur 5 Strain? If you're running it differently, I'm happy with it, just checking.

@Edgehawk , you are right, I misread that (long day). I will adjust speeds and the ic accordingly.

I thought maybe you were doing things your own way, because punching it certainly fits, narratively.

True, though I do see why they've done it this way mechanically speaking, so I think I will stick with the books in the end.

Sorry, but I'm struggling to understand Speed 2, suffering only 1 Strain?

Crap.. they all have a rank in High-G Training?

Again, I've only really been in one vehicular chase/ race scene before, so I'm hitting the books. No trying to be a pain- just trying to figure out how to keep up...

The only way I see for Zara to reach Speed 2 is to take a second maneuver (suffering 2 Strain, and also incurring 2 Strain to her swoop, putting it at its threshold right out of the gate)?
