Black Market Runners



The opportunity fell into your laps like divine providence, giving you a glimpse into that life you always wanted. More importantly, pulling this off will drag you out of the shithole predicament you find yourself in. Some Pirate leader by the name of Marco Gaebril got himself captured by the lone Hegemony presence in this backwater system. You might have heard of him from some of the comm frequencies, the authorities announcing they nabbed the commander of the Blackcloak Brigands. In their desperation, the pirates offered their fastest Stardancer ship to anyone who could smuggle their leader out of the Space Station before he is executed. This is where you come into the story, stranger. It's an easy job if you're as good as you say you are. The prisoner's guards have already been bribed to keep their eyes peeled in the opposite direction for a few key hours, so you don't need to go in guns blazing like you're making an extraction. Go in, get him, and somehow get him through security and into the hanger. After that, if you can get him back to the pirate's den, the ship is yours. They'll even throw you a smuggler's contract your way.
Speechless? I don't blame you. Jobs like this don't just fall out of deep space you know...

-Schill Mcfee, Black Market Trader.


DM Guidelines

  • Black Market Runners (bar the prologue) will be extremely open world for you three. You make the decisions, you take the risks, you set the goals. My role is to respond with the world and give voices to the NPC's around you.
  • This means you are to ask me anything and everything in the OOC concerning what you want to do or if you need any more information, unless you want to keep it from your fellow crew mates then by all means DM me. The OOC is essentially where you ask a DM something out of character for clarification or before you make a decision.
  • Usually the answer will be 'yes' but if you're not sure you can roll, ask me in the OOC as well. If I am not immediately available, you can make your post and roll later when I get online, and we can add it to your post.
  • If you attempt to assist someone, tag me in the OOC and tell me you are. Like [@Poo] can I/I will assist [@Teammember].
  • In your posts, you will make any regular RP post, and if you are to roll you put the dice you've used (usually a d6) and the result in a single hider. You title the hider with what kind of roll you've made, like Action rolls.
  • My posts will be sectioned off into 3 areas. Italics will be my in-game descriptions, average font will be me speaking to you three out of character, and anything I bold will be a result of your rolls (or mine if I deign not to keep it to myself when necessary).
  • I'm not strict on this sort of thing, but I also expect everyone to be relatively up to date on their character sheets when it comes to credits or having 'stress' for a long period of time, etc.

Giving assists is a pretty significant part of the game, how should we go about doing that? Giving a Thank on the post where the action is being attempted?

Awesome! Now that everyone has posted, I'll give a small update where any of you get the opportunity to recruit the pilot. If you don't feel strongly on it or you think someone else should try to 'convince' the Blackcloaks, you can say you pass and if everyone passes I will update again and move the plot along.

What kind of roll would I need to make in order to get Skrivver to ease up off Rico? Pretty much saying that his manner is like unbecoming of him.

@Lauder You do a basic D6 action roll, though I assume you're trying to intimidate with your classes 'command' skill, which means you add what command points you have to what you rolled.

Remember, people need to tell me they pass on the chance to roll or I am going to assume they are going to post.

Alright, sorry if this is backseat GMing, but I'm going to clear some stuff up. Lauder you made the roll wrong. You have 2 in Command so you should have rolled 2d6 and then taken the highest result rather than rolling 1d6+2. If your dice pool equals 0 then you roll 2d6 and choose the lower option. (Even if you have a 0 in a skill you can get bonus dice by getting assists from teammates, pushing yourself or using a gambit) If you get multiple 6s then you get a critical which can give a variety of benefits depending on the current situation.

EDIT: Thanks Penny for showing off the crit.

@Dragoknighte Thank you for catching that. I read that two days ago but it must have slipped my mind today when I was talking to Lauder. I'm still getting used to the game as well and it's been a busy week.

@Penny Nice crit! Now are you trying to have them ease off Rico or are you trying to recruit him from the pirates? If it's the latter I'll need an edit in your post to make that explicit in what she's trying to do. If the former then you're golden.
