Topic: Fallout: New Vegas - Full House RPG
Subject: Olson
"Olsen! It's so good to see you, to have you back." Julie cried, flashing the older Follower a smile, "God Bless you for coming back. I think I know why you're back, but I'm also hopeful that you'll stay for awhile. There's not many long-term Followers here among the guards, most are more recently hired. So there's not many I trust enough, or trust to take care of themself well enough, to send them around Freeside. As you've just seen, things aren't exactly...stable.
Olsen couldn't help but let a smirk creep to the corners of his chapped lips. It had been some while since he had been welcomed so openly, and even longer since it had been by a woman. "Aye, I've come to pay my respects Julie, but yes, it does look like you've had your hands full; and I just happen to be out of direction for the time. If it benefits the cause to have this crotchety ol guard back, by all means add me to the roster, there looks to be much work to be done ma'am."

Not wanting to be rude and interrupt the taller blonde man who talked to Markus, but glad that Julie was still as alive, well and feisty as ever, as her eyes met with his own, he merely nodded a curt nod with a simple "Good to see you again ma'am"

Topic: Real Steel
Subject: Real Steel
Alright I haven't seen a review posted about this one here yet, so I'll give it a go.
How would I describe Real Steel in 3 words? Pure Epic Fun! Sure, it's the classic underdog story, but who hasn't at some point had a love for robots? be it from "Danger, Danger Will Robinson", to Transformers, to Wall-e. Couple that with some great special effects, and a touching story of family, redemption and a second shot at life, love and the whole pg rated panorama, and you've got the makings of two hours and five minutes of entertainment.
Hugh Jackman for me was wonderful, from cocky-risk it all (and lose a lot) smart ass to sincere unexpected father, sort of a Rocky Balboa after the fame died down, and fallen on desperate times.
Dakota Goyo, his 11 yr old son in the movie, though I don't recall seeing him in anything else (aside a very brief look I'm Thor as a child) works the screen like a veteran, his body language and attitude reminiscent of the father he barely knows, his charm while growing attached to his own repaired robot Atom, and dancing upon the screen wins over the crowds both on screen and off. (At one point the entire theatre was practically bouncing and dancing from there seats along with Max (dakota Goyo) and Atom.
There is a small amount of real life violence, mostly later in the movie, but I can let that slide when it's a father trying to protect his son/himself from the misdeeds of past mistakes catching up with him (gambling, loansharks etc) With if I'm correctly remembering only two less than pristine words thrown in. One near the beginning (oh sh**) and one near the end comparing Zeus to a female dog.
All in all it was a very enjoyable movie, I'd say children 8 and up if parents find them mature, teenagers and adults for certain will enjoy the clash of steel on steel coupled with hearts of gold and the building of strong family ties and relationships at its core.
One of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in a very long time. And considering I went to see it with no previous knowledge about it other than "Dude it's like battle bot boxing 2012 style" (yeah not the most descriptive imagery) It was fantastic.
8/10 stars for me!

Olson didn't say much as he helped the wounded Freesider to his feet, letting him put his weight on Olson to stand / walk better. As the mechanic's clad stranger approached and offered to take some of the wounded man's weight; Olson knew he had been denied entry earlier, but for some reason didn't mind seeing where this stranger's perseverance would take him. Besides, the sniper's were still atop the towers, and another dozen guards awaited on the inside of the gate.
"Fine" was all Olson said as they supported the Freesider between them and helped him into the compound.

Olson looked at the Freesider's and raised a brow.
"Look, I just arrived here myself, been off for quite awhile now. Either way there's two ways I see this going down. First, you put that pig sticker away and let me treat you and your friend, and we can talk about what you believe to be going on once you're feeling a bit better, or two, your buddy over there bleeds out and you try to carry him outta here on that bum-leg you're sporting and no-one's even given the chance to perhaps give a damn about your convoluted proclamations."
Olson took one step forward, his visage stern.
"So, what's it gonna be. Spare what caps and weapons you have for contribution to your aid and I'll do my best to get you two back in shape? Or die in this god-forsaken place and let the vulture's man and beast alike pick their fill from your sun bleached irradiated bones."

Subject: Looks like you're in need of a doctor...
Olson smirked an unmistakable grin as he patted Elsa once more, slinging her over his shoulder and setting her once more into the position he took comfort in her being. At his back, and watching his rear. As he strolled back out of the gate he approached the two wounded Freesiders; stopping about 10 feet away, one hand resting on Faith, the other on his doctor's bag.
"Looks like you two boys could use some medical assistance. As luck would have it I happen to know a doctor. If you've got the caps to make a kindly donation to the Followers Cause, I'd be more than happy to see you receive medical treatment right away."

Topic: Fallout: New Vegas - Full House RPG
Subject: Olson
Olson took in the remnants of the once much larger courtyard of the Old Fort. His eyes fell upon the familiar form of Julie Farkas as she spoke to some good-natured sod, who turned and made his way past him smile wide and parcel in hand. Olson had thought about approaching Julie, even as she spoke to the other Follower-guard, likely about the mechanic outfit clad stranger out front when a call from behind him roused his attention.
If a guard had found the need to yell out his standard greeting / protocol that loud, it only meant there was either a larger group than he alone could process, or he suspected trouble.
Olson unslung Elsa from his back, his weathered hands caressing the cool steel as he traced it from barrel plug to custom grip. "Perhaps Nicole shall have to wait but a little longer my love" He said as he patted the nameplate lovingly.
Turning around, he moved back towards the gate he had entered, using the corner of the gate/wall as cover and to simply take stock of those approaching.
(Not utilizing Rapid Trigger, simply aiming and adjusting, waiting to see what happens. First Freesider to attempt a violent action against the guard, or Markas, and Olson will Target their leg (if it's a melee weapon) (or their shoulder area if they are holding a firearm. If no clear-non-lethal shot can be made on a firearm wielding Freesider, Olson will go for a head/kill shot though he's trying not to kill)

Olson nodded towards the guard that bid him pass. He made his way into the compound of the Old Mormon Fort, anxious to see what would come from his return.

As Olson approached the front guards of the Old Fort, he noticed the man in the "Mechanics" Uniform that Rotface had kindly warned him about. His hand resting within his coat, firmly atop the grip of Faith, as was his typical doctoral way of walking; he proceeded towards the guards just as the man said something in Latin and walked away towards a nearby wall. As a Follower Olson had been educated in what shreds of old Language the FoA had access too. It was apparent the stranger was looking for someone.. Perhaps an old brother in arms, or a fellow soldier. It seemed the guards weren't about to let him pass however.
Olson approached the fellow guards, and nodded in respect. "Good Morning brothers. It's been awhile, but I've returned to pay my respects to my family, the teachings of Nicole, perhaps catch up with current events. "

Topic: Fallout RPG Character Creation
Subject: My suggestion
Im a huge fan of a gm claiming the first 15 posts in their q/a thread (15 posts to a page)
Then editing the posts into clear sections..
A game notice post for updates by you.. Ie: "Player X you have till monday to post or else"
"hey crew im really under the weather so update will be a bit delayed"
"happy birthday player/ we need to replace so and so if anyone is interested send me a pm!" etc etc.
Characters sheets could each have a post for easy lookups and preventing one post from being 20 pages long. (reserve 4-6 or however many players u care to potentially max out on)
One Status Summary post (likely before character sheets) would provide an at a glance update of players, their status/afflictions and any immediate information pertaining to them. Maybe have their total/current karma score there too.
Quest log could have a post updated as they come available/ completed/ failed
Party shared resources, or headquarters/ faction/ base of operations information should that come into play
The basic part of this is so all information is in one place, and all further conversations start on page 2 and onward.. Just my two cents as a long time online pbp gm/player

Subject: Indeed..
"A fair warning, and taken to heart. Thank you Rotface. " With eyes peeled and direction chosen however, Olson moved towards the Old Fort, anxious to receive some information, perhaps an assignment, but mostly, he just wanted to look over the simple plot graves of his family once more and ask forgiveness and guidance from the woman he loved; something he had done many times over their relationship he recalled.

Topic: Fallout: New Vegas - Full House RPG
Subject: plenty of violence..
"More violence, means more people in need of medical attention. Which invariably means, sad to say though.. more business for a would be patcher such as myself." Olson took three more caps from his pocket and laced the ghoul's palm with them. "Telling me, or anyone else in this crazy life that violence is a likely possibility may not be worth the cap, but honesty, and having an ear in the right places certainly are. I can handle my own, though I appreciate the warnings. Go find yourself a warm meal, and a safe place to stay if you can. If trouble finds you while I'm here then find me. I'll be headed to the Old Fort." Olson extended his hand to the Ghoul.
"Names Olson Macdonald.. Though I suppose that's a name left behind some years ago. Lately jus' been answerin to the "Gun Doc. Got a name friend?"

Subject: The way things work..
Olson looked upon the ghoul and he chuckled. "As i said, some things never change." Fishing out a single cap from his pocket, he approached the ghoul and held the cap just above his hand. " A man, no matter his appearance is only as good as his word..." Placing the cap into his palm he looked the ghoul in the eye and smiled. "Whats the word?"

Subject: Home...
Freeside "Still the same rotting cesspool I left you in." Olson said as he bypassed the typical welcoming committee of iron-fisted lead brained brutes mustered about the entrance way, offering their protection to anyone with enough caps. Funny irony there was, as Olson knew, if they knew you had the caps to spare for their services, you'd just as likely end up with a shiv in your backside while they cleaned you out and moved on to the next hapless target.
Two years and more Olson had been gone, since the day he returned to find the NCR had pulled out of their alliance with the Followers of the Apocalypse, his wife and daughter slain in their reclamation of property turned violent outbreak. Since then, the NCR had been reduced to their own hideaways and plottings, while Mr House fought vigilantly, albeit seemingly in vain, to reclaim some semblance of control over the region.
Olson wasn't sure why his path had brought him back to this accursed place. It had been here that his life had been given purpose through the teachings of Nicole, facilitated by the kind words and patience of Elsa, the woman he came to marry; and her daughter Faith. It was here, that he had been educated, and instructed into something more than a gun toting miscreant with a misguided view of might equals right into a man with a cause, and a sense of pride in what he was doing.
It was here that his world had been torn asunder, and he had taken to the road with vengeance and a vigilante mindset gnawing at his conscience, to fill the void left by the loss of his loved ones, replace it with anything but sorrow and rage.
But here he was, overlooking Mick and Ralph's, the typical assortment of strung out junkies, and profiteering whores. It seemed like the Followers still had their work cut out for them. Perhaps it was time to pay the old homestead of the Old Mormon Fort a visit.. pay his respects to the dead he left behind so long ago.
Almost immediately someone else called out, but unlike the bodyguards previously, the rasped words of this local stopped him in his tracks and turn towards the speaker. The speaker was a ghoul, a beggar by his clothes, that had escaped his notice, leaning against the edge of a dumpster just outside Mick and Ralph's.
"Don't know of many that wear the Followers Crest that would be entering on their own. At least not from the east. Been out of Freeside for awhile?"
Olson turned, his hand still resting between the 3rd and forth buckle of his trenchcoat, resting upon the hand carved grip of his custom 9mm. As his cool eyes turned to fall upon the speaker, Olson took in the ghoul and at his inquiry merely shrugged. "You could say that. Had some.. business take me away. But that's taken care of now and back I've come. What's the word around here?"

Are we all going to know each other in some fashion? Is there any past history between pc's? Are we receiving individual intros into the plotline or are we all thrown in together?
Just mulling over potential relationships.. (Ie, Doc may know the prospector as a supplier for scrap / items for weapon modification etc, the 'black devil' may be a name heard through rumor or channels etc etc.
just curious and really anxious to see where this goes.

Topic: Demon Wind
Subject: morning comes..
Daldren awoke feeling rested, his muscles relaxed and his mind at ease were it not for the vision he had just bore witness to in the midst of his slumber. Looking about, and realizing the entire night had passed, without one on watch, he silently scolded himself for allowing his weakened road travelled state to be overcome by outside forces. But as he replayed in his mind the words of wisdom and warning Hannah had spoken unto him. This Demon Wind, posed a dire threat to all of Pardinal.
"Visden" was Daldren's first word spoken aloud, and even as the word left his lips others had stirred from their own sleep perplexed by the shared vision they experienced. People were posing questions regarding the new information, some were already finding the weight of their charge almost too much to bear with emotionally; as evident by the woman Siraya's outburst. It seemed everyone was turning to Danamar, awaiting his direction, but to Daldren the path had been clear even before his eyes had opened to the days first light. He turned to Danamar, though the warrior-priest seemed lost deep in thought.
(For game sake and moving on if Raven doesn't manage a post)
"We ride for Visden" He said matter-of-factly, before chewing on some dried fruit and hardtack he had taken from his pack. Mid chew he was already adjusting his belongings and preparing to close up camp. "We can do little from here, and even less for those in question. We need information, and supplies and we shant be finding them amongst the dust and campfire coals."

Topic: We will Always Remember
Subject: Hell
I'm Canadian, born and raised, I've lived alongside American's served across border's with them, carried, mended, drank laughed cried, married and bore child with one of them and 9/11 will arguably never be something the American pride will pass off as something to let 'fall by the wayside. To do so in many a mind is to insult those who died that day, and lay open the opportunity for a similar tragedy to repeat itself should vigilance ever fall short.
However, by publicly media-glory-hounding our remembering their loss, we empower our enemies with memory of their victory. So it's 6 of one half a dozen of the other. And it shall always be a double sided knife. In war, there are no victors, merely pawns holding positions of power or influence in a power game played by men safe at home in offices or bunkers, until a better more skilled player (or cheater as the case may be) steps up to the board.
I salute those in any status, field, branch of the military, or civilian way of life that serve in life by action to defend anything they hold valuable and true. The ability to place a creed or sense of duty above your own life is a grand stamp of character in any respect. However, I'll simply turn down the radio for awhile, pay my silent respects, flip through the photos I took from the rooftops across from ground zero mere days after the incident, and pay my respects to those who have left us, and those left to carry on.
