I'm on my phone so I can't really link it, but the place is called 'invisable castle', google it; should be in the top two.
you tell it your name, that you want to roll 1 set of dice, and then type in the dice you want rolled.
the cod looks like
12D6.hits5
that will roll a D6 12 times, and count up the sucesses (either 5s or 6s)
after it rolls them, it will give you some copy and pasteable BB code with the URL tags already there.

Sorry, no die roller for these boards, although if you wanted to focus your puppy-dog stare at Ingo, he's the local hacker to get it done.

Until then, we've been using Invisible Castle, which I like because I can actually look up rolls (and roll histories, for those people sad enough to cheat), if I need to.

For instance, rolling for Scarlet's diplomatic skillz (note the Z of intensity), nets you the following:
16d6.hits(5) → [6,6,6,1,4,2,2,4,2,1,1,6,5,4,2,6] = (6)
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3584744/

(posting a link to the roll is considered good manners)

Using the code is simple; if you want to make a normal roll, the code is:
Xd6.hits(5), where X is the number of dice you want to roll

If you want to make a roll that uses Edge, and therefore has 'shooting 6s,' the code is a little more complicated:
Xd6.hitsopen(5,6), which would give you a success on a roll of 5 or better, and add additional dice if you roll a 6.

Hope that helps.

(Edit: Okay, apparently I posted OOC stuff in the IC thread (again), but I fixed it myself this time)

So I thought of something I should of bought at character creation.  Took me a while to find it though.  Anyway it is out of the War! book and it is a 14F item so I couldn't take it.  Basically it is a casting assist device to help better target indirect spells.  Gives a +1 to hit our target which I think is cool.  A smartlink for casting in a nutshell.  But all I can think of is the powerglove for NES.  Just a thought I had.

Hey KV, any chance we can get an updated map with icons? Pretty please w/sugar on top.

Maybe once you all roll initative, since I'm really lazy and I feel like taking the day off. Suffice it to say, you were all in the lower right corner of the map provided earlier; cause I would have to click all the way over on the left side of the desktop, and run maptools to get something like that.

Ok that was weird I swear I posted this morning.  Ahh well I shall roll initative.  I need to change my roll cause I am going to cast increase reflexes first.  So I am going to redo the roll, just letting you know kid.  Here is the link for the bad roll.

Added my VR initiative to my posting.  Now I'm thinking maybe I should have tried hacking for Admin previously hahaha

Live and learn- there's no way you could have known that the people would hit Springbok here. I mean, I did, but my devious brain thought it up. Ruski helped.

Don't worry if you saw that one coming; there are more surprises in store.

When I was first learning to play Shadowrun, someone told me: "There are sixteen ways through a door- only one involves turning the handle and going through."

Shadowrun is like an exercise in critical thinking, taking what your assumptions are, and working around them. That's why I like shadowrun so much.

Heh.  That's why I had Scarlet do a perception check taking in more than just the entrance.

Are we waiting on Bullet to post his actions?

[Ruski]

depending on the pace we decide on: there's always the option of 'sit there and delay action'.
not typically the 'best thing you can do' in every situation, but sometimes doing nothing is the beat thing you can do.
*shrug*

I talked to Bullet, he should be posting today, he just had a few quick questions about the 'one action' I mentioned, and how much stuff he was able to do every initiative pass, versus every round. He also asked about the number of free actions you can attempt in a round (I told him as many as you could reasonably do in a fraction of a second- since combat is a three-second interval in which people take between one and four actions).

So I answered his questions as best I could, and he should have something tonight. Hopefully, I'll be able to throw together a map and get everything up this afternoon, because I'm heading out of town (again), and I won't really have much opportunity to update before we get back on Sunday (most likely not until Monday, rinse and repeat).

Post in progress, thanks for your patience (or your shutting the hell up in the lack thereof).

Sorry, I may have overestimated my time remaining before my wife would flog me with a switch out to the car to go to a family reunion. The image is a composite of several images, which I photoshopped into submission so that we could use it for our game.

That took me quite a bit longer than I thought it would (who knew it wouldn't be possible to goggle-fu an image of a drone coming through a hole in a wall?), so I didn't get the map done or the post written up.

It is a cool image, though.

[bull30548]

It is a cool image I really like it (don't get the point yet) I like the coloring on the drone.  SO this seems like a good place for this question.  I want to put some images of logos on a document and then put a bit of text either below the logo or over it.  How would I do that?  What bit of tech or program would you recommend?  I was thinking I could old school it where i print off a bunch of paper with just the logo.  Then I write the document up and when I print it off I use the previously used paper with the logo on it.  But if there is a better more effiecent way I am all for it.

Mind you I will have a b&w printer soon (or at least aiming too) so that I can do this.
