Gangster Squad - Quest/Downtime Thread

Setting up a kill zone atrium where the door(s) leading further in is also a good idea. Have a fake door set into the wall for them to make a break for, give them cover that'll fall apart which a stiff breeze, and other such fun things.

Really, secret boltholes and the like are difficult to manage. What we should be doing is thinking on what we can do with the resources we have, and even more than that, how we would attack Warehouse 34.

Our course is obvious.

We need to ask Sketchbook for a map. :cool:

Hey kids! As you may or may not have seen here, I am running an interim game set in the Gangster Squad continuity while open_sketchbook takes a break to strengthen his dark sorcerous powers! It is set in the sewers under the warehouse, where strange things are afoot, and Gangster Squad must descend to do battle for their very survival! This Monday:

Mission: Underground Undertakings
There is something moving down below. Ancient rusted pipes and vents not used in centuries are now pumping noxious smoke up into the half of the Warehouse from somewhere in the catacombs below. Go down and put a stop to it.

I am planning to run the game at any time between ten or twelve PM GMT, if you could reply (if you're interested in playing) telling me which time would work better, then that would be great. If you know you will be playing and want to roll Connections or Knowledge checks related to the sewer creatures of Union City, or for anything else, that's cool too!
 
I'm probably going to be at work, but if I have the time I'll drop in.
 
GMT is Greenwich Mean Time, so that means it starts in Central for 4-6 PM, right? On monday?

Hmm. I might be able to make it, and you can be sure I'll try.
 
Righty ho, the maps are done, and since there seem to be an even number of people who can play who'd prefer earlier/later, the only fair thing to do seems to be to set a start time of eleven PM GMT. If you want to make knowledge/connections rolls related to sewer beasties or whatever you want, between now and then is the time to do it, I've written down on a piece of paper what rolls get you what already regarding info, so it's very fair. You can assume you'll start with box of torches, as well as climbing rope for descending where ladders have rusted away, so no need to spend your rolls trying to acquire them.
 
Getting a flashlight or lamp or something instead of crappy torches seems like a very good idea. Would that be a contacts roll?

Sorry, I'm from the UK, where we use the word "torch" to refer to what you yanks call flashlights. I'm not going to pull my punches as a GM, but don't worry, I'm not sending you down into the underworld with only flaming torches, that'd just be cruel! :D

Will we still have our starting gear from GS? Or do we have to scrounge more hardware for those of us who aren't exactly born 'Gator wranglers?

Also, that's around 7AM, my time.

Hah! Okay, cool. Thanksa.

...What do you call 'sticks with a burny bit on the end', in that case?

You have your characters and all their gear from GS, and anything they have access to that you wish to take, this game is taking place within the GS continuity. If you win and if there happens to be loot, you'll be able to use it within the main game.

We often call them torches as well. :D

If they were attached to a wall they'd be a sconce, and you can usually tell the difference easily if it's in writing by it saying something like "I lit a torch" or "carrying lit torches", etc..
 
I'm going to be chauvinistic here and say that we Americans probably have a better term for it.

Less confusion, for one thing.

Sweet, time to see if that new prosthetic leg is waterproof then. :D

You Britons and your crazy ideas on what words mean! Speak proper American! :p
 
Damn, Grigori's got that back injury and Nathan's still getting his Prosthetic Leg getting fitted up. :(

OOC: What times are y'all okay with? I'm thinking I'll run this on a Saturday night (GMT +8), because it's one of the few timings that are sane for me.

I'm in the same Timezone as you, so I don't have any problems. I'll be on from 10:00 - 22:00, +8:00 GMT wise.

I do want to use either Nathan and Grigori again, mostly Nathan because I didn't get to use him much.
 
Arcus said:
Well, it's probably pretty serious and shit. Minor wounds are still pretty bad. But I'll allow some leeway for this thing I guess.

Alternatively, you could create a 3rd character.

Yep, it was a Minor Wound to the spine. I'd rather use an existing character unless I'm going to throw in a barebones character, which I am loathe to do.
