Waterbrick Down

Fixed.

"The hall apparently has rooms available if you need to lie down for a little bit. It sounds like you've had quite the journey as is. I'm sure MILES could probably find a plug or something like that."

Added. Fixed. Thanks.

It's in one of the FAQ questions regarding weapons, but it was somewhat vague. I've updated it to call out more concrete examples.

Duvors is right regarding the matching of the weapon types with the armor types. There is no longer just a set armor stat like Heroica 1.0, that way one player doesn't become impossible to damage compared to his fellow players. The typing is correct, the FAQ has example weapons for each category, but the general breakdown is: Kinetic is anything that physically impacts something, whether it be a bullet, or a slug, or a hunk of metal/wood/claws/fists/etc. Energy is any form, whether it be radiation, laser, sonic, photon, etc. there could be some overlap with elemental Elemental is your basic fire, wind, lightning, ice, water, etc. The actual aesthetic is totally up to the player and while we'd like for their to be consistency, you could easily have one player call their heat phaser an elemental weapon and another an elemental weapon.

"It's a fairly simple ditty, most little saplings are taught it from knee high on to help nurture and care for those around us. When you've got some free time I'd be glad to share it. Free taffy on the counter by the way, help yourself." Valesia smiles before turning to Soren and Zaria's philosophizing. "Alternatively, perhaps we're simply each playing the role the universe has designed us for, acting and reacting as we play our part in the grand story of life and nature. Nothing out of place, each simply acting as was always anticipated. Then all that's left is simply to be at peace with that and take joy in how we each uniquely fit into that bigger picture."

"You'd be among the lucky few. Apart from the O'kor'uk, the elders prefer the silent communion of the Remembering, but it is a grand sight to behold. Perhaps one day." Valesia takes a sip of her Julip before moving over to inspect the Mission Board. After much consideration she signs up for Quest 3: Rat Catchers. "I suppose the closest step to working for the organization is getting to know its employees, perhaps I can get this Miss Rachel to put in a good word for me."

"If you like 'em covered in breadcrumbs and fried I can put in an order with the cook." Valesia rolls her eyes, "If you're around tomorrow I can see about whipping up some herb crusted Tehanuyan tuna with lemon butter. Now I'm no engineer, but lets see about that wound of yours, Hun." The Cladrasith takes a calming breath and begins humming a soft low tune slowly coaxing the flesh of the Chimeran's skin to knit itself back together, the sinews glowing with a faint healing light. "Sure thing." "That is quite the misfortune, you seem to be adapting well though. So now you're here looking for these "enemies" or did you have something else in mind?"

I think how you handled it is exactly what I had in mind. The point about quasi adventures was more, I'd prefer folks don't bring in multiple NPC's to interact with/go on adventures with, in the hall thread itself. If you'd like to write personal fiction for your character and what they do outside of their time in the hall or outside of missions that's ok, but the hall thread isn't really the place for it. Your character can certainly tell other characters in the hall what they did in their time away, but writing lots of detailed stories occurring in real time in the hall thread itself doesn't really allow for other players to interact with what your creating. The hall thread is really for what happens in the hall, not what characters did down at the docks or blocks away or at their personal apartment. Not that you can't write that down somewhere else, we'd just prefer to role-play with you instead of just read how you role-played with yourself. I'm not too keen on creating a section quite yet, we're a little early for hammering any sort of details like that down. Again, we don't need a Wookiepedia of everything in the game. Plus, leaving it loose allows for other players to creatively develop their own unique culinary additions without having to feel constrained by the "canon" foods. If characters are really interested I'd imagine the players will be keeping an eye on other player's dialog and it feels so much more valued when another player reference's your creation because they read your previous posts rather than just referenced a library/wiki article. See Flaming Gumdrops from Heroica 1.0 for example. We may have inadvertently created the same character concept, though I was honestly going more for southern diner counter worker who listens to people's problems and makes a mean gumbo.

So the hall is merely for roleplaying. If individual players want to settle something between them through the use of stats and mechanics that's ok, but there is no arbitration from a Mission Master. Duvors is correct here. For player created content (such as the cyborg) it's up to the original creator to dictate what is discoverable or doable with their creation. That being said, the Hall topic is not for extensive world building or quasi adventures. You can tell stories, share information, include little roleplaying bits like food/baubles/souvenirs/equipment/trophies/etc., but please do not go driving a tank into the building or destroying walls/NPC's and expect other people to interact with what you're saying. @samurai-turtle's small scuffle is about the extent of player generated events allowable. If there are any questions about whether something is too much to try and do in the Hall, send me a PM and we can discuss. :) No problem, I've reserved a post for the new category. Just let me know when you're ready and I'll fill it in.

The Cladrasith nods, "I'm sure the space police were grateful for the assistance. You need any patching up Sweetie?" "Fetching odds and ends, or at least that's what the bartender made it sound like. But I do suppose people have to get from one place to the next. so piloting has surely got to be handy like." Valesia smiles at Zaria's story, "Ah a life to be filled with experiences, something our kinds share. Granted we eventually put down roots unlike you fair folk. Though I've got many more years and recipes to gather before that happens." "Do I look like a Cricet?" Thorvald gives an annoyed look, "Oh sorry... the Librarian, Collette's, a Cricet. You can try asking her." Valesia nods knowingly, "Sounds very much like the grove I grew up in as a sapling. The elders had passing on their wisdom from generation to generation and each new one contributing a little more to the ever expanding pool of knowledge." Thorvald pours a cup of black coffee from a pitcher that doesn't seem to get any more empty. "Cream, sugar, alcohol?"

All fixed. Slides added, let me know what text you want in the spoilers.

Valesia smiles at the pair, "Well we've got our own first mystery then. If this is any foreshadowing of normal hero work I'm sure it'll be quite exhilarating. Were you both in this line of work previously?"

Valesia pulls out a number of wax-paper wrapped taffies from her satchel placing them on the counter, "Charmed. Now let's see I've still got some cinnamon swirls, peppermint, banana, and mergmelon. I'm running low on ingredients, need to swing by the Trade Bazaar later on, though I'm sure they charge an arm and a leg for any spices of quality 'round these parts." "Maybe just a smaller door then so big brutes like that don't make it in here. Taffy?" Valesia eyes the disheveled corpse of the intruder. "Don't suppose either you two know what that there monstrosity is?"

"It would seem you've certainly chosen the right vocation then, Sugar." The Cladrasith extends a hand, "Valesia by the way. Can I interest you in a brinewater taffy?"

Always cool to see new takes on old factions. There are so many great details in this build from the drone, to the cabin interior, to the wheel accents. The roll cage on the cockpit is excellently angled and the plating angles are amazing!

Valesia presses against the bar trying to remain out of the way of the scuffle. "Forget cooks, what this place needs is a bouncer." "Hmph, just another Tuesday around here..." Thorvald shouts over to the other Chimeran. "If you're finished with that hunk of junk, just push it outside I'm sure some scrapper will take it for parts."

Sorry non-canon is a bit too strong, I guess I'd rather it be not so much that it didn't exist, more that references in game to the events should be limited and fairly generic for the time being.
