Hey guys, if 'Chimera' was a tv serie what would be his theme/opening song/music ? ;)

I often use Apocalyptica in my tabletop games... Good atmosphere whatever the settings is. What about that tune?

Haven't "seen" enough of this game to get a feel for theme music, but I find the theme used for this web show to have an appropriate moody vibe for dark street-level games.

Hey now! No leaking on my backstory. Besides, I didn't ask for frequency of the whistle or anything. I kept it basic. Was the whistle approaching top-down or sideways. I thought it was fair.

Sorry Saker!

As to Volsung's question, I've been listening to Unkle's "Burn My Shadow" quite a bit since watching Repo Men. I hadn't really thought about it, but it may have influenced what Chimera has become.

Well, that's one way to do it Protheuz. I'd prefer Boost to figure out powers as he goes along, but this is easier. It's up to the rest of you if you want to lay your character sheet out for him to see. Please do it as a PM from now on though.

Ok, I'm about to start the seperate encounters.

Protheuz (Nycto) and Saker (Fenris) I will handle through PMs. When you guys need to roll, please make your rolls in this thread with appropriate labels (ie Soak, Hide, etc). Save the actual description of the action for the PMs though!

Boost (Jason), Nestor (Javier), and Volsung (Overdrive) I'll handle in the existing Chimera Ch2 Nova.net thread.

A note about rolls; if you're rolling to attack, go ahead and roll your damage in the same postings. The same goes for Soak and Dodge, just to save space.

Enjoy, and good luck Novas!

Last thing, everyone's at full hits from this point on, and +1 Hero Points for the time in the warehouse. That should put everyone at 4 Hero Points.

Hey, is Jason at his usual Brawn and Agility, or is he still benefiting from the refresher he took from Fenris at the warehouse?

Start over, new scene! Or page, or whatever. I really need to learn the terms for BASH!

Relax Volsung. Enjoy playing your character. Boost made his character, and he will enjoy playing his character.

Maybe after this campaign he might agree with your perspective here. Maybe not. Maybe the game mechanics of his character will enable him to play many different types of characters throughout the campaign while you and I are stuck with one character each.

Bottomline: Relax Volsung. Enjoy playing your character.

Nota bene:
Never write anything down when you're annoyed without any link with the subject..
That's a common rule on the internet and I often forget it.

True, that post was absurd.
Actually I don't see any reason not to remove it...

edit: Done... Sorry for that childish reproach. I went trough an awful monday. :roll:
