A question I probably should have asked before but @The Captain and @Rasmus will you both be able to participate actively? It seems like neither of you have RPed for a good month or two by your history and have joined RPs to post a few times to die out for a month or something.


I'll be able to post once or twice every week (or probably more)
I had to leave a few months back due to some shit going on irl. Atm, I'm 100% sure I can commit to this RP.

Get raided by, you mean. Having military grade quality with armored design ethics, that'd be tanks, or rather shitty little MG tankettes, plural, or at least various brands of light AFV. More armored cars than tracked vehicles, presumably, although it's probable that the nutters have dredged up the Christie suspension so they can have both at the same time. 'A Fucking Tank' is an actual chart result for the flagship vehicle, so MBTs are a no go. Legendary Car in combination with the traits probably translates to a super-Hummer or a Stryker or something with a cramped scrap turret.

I'll be looking over the chart to make sure whatever extrapolations I make from the rolls don't fall into other explicitly defined roll groups, but I'm thinking filetoothed borderline muties turned bad-tempered punks turned paramilitarist weapon-fetishists hailing from the nuked out surroundings of an Aussie silo that botched its launch cycle (Australia explored developing a nuclear capability historically, but signed the NNPT and never went through with it, yet considering how the Mad Max timeline went, there's probably a divergence here) who're driving imitative cold war tech versions of Hobart's funnies in an ill-conceived military campaign after the founder of the band broke into a secondary bunker of the silo, still running on reserve power, and using a blueprinting program (or else one of the personnel' novelty programs/games and thinking it's a military grade blueprinting program) to properly balance out the vehicles. Seeing as they consist of outback muties who only know that everything went to shit when the nukes went off- one over their heads, even, although not a proper fusion detonation nor at ideal airburst height- after getting rallied by a bunch of scrappers high on military vernacular, they've got the idea of organizedly sticking it to 'the fuckers' responsible for Mad Max's post-nuclear, post-peak oil shitshow while holding the pretension of but not actually establishing a transitional government, nor actually understanding what a transitional government entails, or is, save that they read it in a manual on martial law and it's a thing they need to establish.

This largely manifests in raiding the shit out of other raiders for being raiders, more prickly and insular settlers for holding onto surplus supplies that ought be redistributed (mostly to the column and whatever poor waste-lost sods they happen to pass by while the surplus lasts) or people who look at them a little too funny while the column is taking a pit stop and don't respond to the subsequent R. Lee Ermey treatment the right way as the muties peacock around. These habit produce a lot of fresh scrap, as does their home base/stomping ground, where the EMP of the nuke knocked out plenty of planes & motor vehicles as well as leaving lots of dead infrastructure to pull apart. And tesla coils draw their power off from some dubiously wired diesel-electric drives, since the engineers couldn't think of any better way to deal with the occasional overload. That's the very rough working concept, at least. The gears are turning.

@Senor Herp All I'm going to say is aim for a bunch of raiders who found military grade stuff and not a post apoc paramilitary band of asshole raiders. As you only have Old Worlds Blues, I'd wager that your guys have a much more limited capacity and knowledge of how the more advanced and complicated old world stuff works compared to that of the Collegia persay.

I'll dial it more that way, then. The important part is near-muties jarheading around, so it doesn't make any real difference if the military grade stuff is newly designed scrap vehicles that're a cut above the rest from using janky old blueprint programs or if they're mothballed stock dredged up from a radded out depot, nor if they're legitimately deluding themselves into being a representation of the government of Australia or if they're putting it on as one big ironic joke. They're punks in uniform, after all, a bit of a walking contradiction.

@RasmusRerolled your special shit:

Turbo-Charged: Engines are supercharged and often fitted with nitrous. The group's cars will be capable of incredible bursts of speed, at the cost of some special maintenance and materials.

Sound Systems: Quality stereo equipment is in terribly short supply, mainly because of groups like this that fill their cars to the brim with it to blast tunes while driving. Which almost inevitably gets them tracked down and blown up. Still, they do sound fucking kickass.

You hath gotten the following from RNGesus:

Ramshackle: Armor is cobbled together, guns are hand tooled, and houses/clothes are generally not in the best state. Pretty standard for most people, unfortunately. (26)

Green: The rarest thing in the wastes. Clean soil that grows green plants. Some go their whole lives without seeing it, some unlucky few think it’s a myth. Those that have it keep it close to their chest, even if it’s just a single potful of black earth. (100)

Asking for rolls, though put me down as a potential player for now. I'll know more by the end of the week.

Thanks.

Spiky Chrome to Turbo-Charged Bands on Wheels. GG No re.

Btw, since you didn't answer the question in my previous post, should I just take that as a yes?

As of right now do not put down pop, that will be something figured out in the future, possibly with dice rolls.

Also, general word of advice, never ever think that just because someone hasn't answered your question that their answer is an automatic "yes".

Was just breaking balls. I'd be absolutely stupid to think no answer=automatic yes.

Well holy shite, this is interesting.
For your motor pool, I'd say just have a small fleet of war rigs or something, small in size but big in phsyical individual size.
Oh and tell me what kind of helicopter you want so I can judge it.
