BACK POSTING
"Sam Dash don't exist, dòng bu dòng? (Do you understand?) He ain't never existed as far as you're concerned--any of you. Someone asks you if you know Sam Dash...well, the immediate answer that you better conjure up consists of askin' if that's some sort o' cookin' condiment. If'n I find out that you--any o' you--set on a path lookin' after that ta made niao (g**da**) fool, I'll ventilate your brainpan so that the goldpanners on Haven could use it as a sieve. Hell. I'd sell it to 'em for a bite of a protein bar at that point. Now, guan ni ziji de shi (mind your own business), and get t' work."
Wolf was ready to confront Wyatt on the issue of looking for Sam. Sam had been Wolf's only friend after his release from prison and the large mechanic owed him for that, hell if not for the pilot, Wolf would never have known of the Rocinante and Captain Wyatt. However as he was about to argue the point he met the Captain eye to eye. Though Wyatt had replaid in a very cold tone of voice not to talk or think about Sam, hell that Sam no longer even existed, Wolf could see in Wyatt’s eyes behind the words that the Captain too was not happy with Sam’s leaving. For him not to go after the pilot made it clear that there was more going on here then just Sam leaving. Looking into the Captain's eyes Wolf realized that if Sam were to call for aid Wyatt would at once give it.
Nodding his head in acceptance of Wyatt’s words, Wolf moved off without another word, joining with Ash to talk to Ma about the ship’s shopping list...........

Subject: Cool a little role play interaction :)
As Wolf waited for an answer Ash walked over to him and placed a hand on his arm and quietly said,
“Come on... Wyatt’s given us our job. You know Sam and look’n for him would be harder than …. Uh.. well it would be hard. He don’t want found.“
Shrugging off the gunfighter's hand Wolf continued to look at Wyatt.
"Doesn't matter how hard it is if we don't at least try what does that make us cowards? For him to leave like this means he is in deep kimche and needs our help. Just because he's too proud or afraid of us getting hurt to ask for our help does not mean we just give up trying to give it to him!"................

Topic: Voyages of Rocinante - Serenity/Firefly RPG
Subject: Three Months Later, Beaumonde
Wolf was content for the most part, he’d found a home, the Rocinante, a family, Captain Wyatt, Sam, Ash, Ma and Miss Willow and a possible girlfriend. Yeah his relationship with Stacy was closer to a friend with benefit’s kinda thing right now, but they had over the last three months exchanged messages and gifts. They even had a standing date planned next time the ship hit Belix. Wolf had even tried to talk her into joining the crew as maybe a second mechanic. However she has made it plan she was more the ground pounder type then one traveling the black and they had left it at that.
Over the course of the last three months other then the back and forth messages to Stacy he had also had the time to get closer to both Ash and Sam the three of them, sometimes Wyatt too, sitting down to a hand of cards or a round of tall tales. A few of those times Willow had walked by and hearing the tall tales had raised her eyes with a hard to believe look upon her face. Yet Wolf caught a smile creeping across his face as he remembered the one time Ma Trish had walked by, paused, looked at the three men, shook her head and walked away.
Yeah three of the best months of Wolf’s life after being almost dead in that go tsao duh shiong mao niao of a mine on Regina. Now they were landed on Beaumonde taking on gear, supplies, some repairs and hopping for some work.
So it was a total crushing shock as Wyatt’s voice came over the ship’s intercom as Wolf once more was tinkering, or as he called it ’fine tuning’ the Rocinante’s engines.
"This is your captain; Sam Dash has tendered his resignation and will no longer be flying with us. It was a difficult decision for him, an' he wishes all of you his best. He had some fond nonsense t' pass on t' each of ya; which if yer so inclined t' hear I'll share it with you in a more confidential setting later.”
Wolf’s head hit the underside of the port engine as his head shot up at the news. The rest of what Captain Wyatt said was blocked out as Wolf, his scalp bleeding from a shallow cut, kept hearing the first sentence over and over again
Sam Dash has tendered his resignation and will no longer be flying with us
Later, after Willow had bandaged said cut, and the crew had been informed of Sam‘s last words to each of them, Wyatt gave out each person’s assignment.
"All right people, let's be about this day. Willow, you're with me. We're looking' fer work, an' a new pilot. Got some ideas where t' go, so I don' fancy we'll be out too long. Let Wolf know what supplies you need fer the infirmary if anything. Wolf, you an' Asher git with Ma an' see what stocking' up we need. If'n we can take on guests, I'll be right happy t' do so. Let's move."
“What about looking for Sam we are gonna do that too right? Don’t tell me we are just gonna leave him alone in the black no matter what he wrote. The man’s family Wyatt”
Everyone in the room could tell Wolf was dead serious as this was the first time he had called Wyatt by his first name and not by captain. Wolf waited for a reply hoping it would be the right one...............

Subject: My Stuff's legal LOL
Better talk to Ash Skipper Worse comes to worse and the automatic shotgun is considered illegal. I can just get a cut down version of the pump action Spas 12 Combat shotgun with a 12 round top loaded internal magazine and add a pistol grip up front. It already comes with a folding stock so it's all good.

Subject: My list is simple
2 Quick Draw shoulder holsters.
3 laser sights.
Buy a cut down modified auto action shotgun with a front action pistol grip, folding metal wire stock and a larger magazine capacity. (10 shell magazine)
Easy wear flap holster sized to fit the shotgun carried on back
New balistic vest.
And just so you don't have to look for it my skill changes once more.
Skills:
Athletics d6
*Dodge d8 (+2)
*Weight-Lifting d8
Mechanical Engineering d6
*Maintenance d10
*Repair d10 (upgraded to d12 +2)
*Rewire and Reroute Electrical d8 (+2)
Planetary Vehicles d6
*Ground Vehicle Repair d8 (+2)
Guns d6

Melee Weapon Combat d6
*Knives d8 (upgraded to d10 +2)
Unarmed Combat d6
*Brawling d10
*Martial Arts d8 (+2)
(Note not sure how the rules go again in determining this, but I would think that both unarmed Combat specializations would over lap as they do in Mixed Martial Arts)
Asset (+2)
Mechanical Empathy (minor) – Having finally accepted the Rocinante as home he is more intune with her, feels her in a better way, and loves her as more then just a ship.
Complications (To be added to existing ones)
Loyal (minor)- After the events on Regina and the way Asher and Wyatt treated him and rushed to get him help, having never had those type of friends other then Sam. He is now 100% loyal to them, the rest of the crew, and the ship herself which he now considers home.
Straight Shooter (minor)- Due to the Chip on his Shoulder and never having learned how to hide his emotions very well, he is easy to read because of said emotions. As such he is a bad liar and can be very blunt at times. Holds to the belief that he would rather hurt a person with the truth, then with a lie.

Ok I'm unclear on what is meant by a share. A share of the ownership of the ship or a share of the profits from jobs we make after expenses.
Also in terms of cash amounts whats the % of each share when that is spilt up.

The way she handles a Shotgun Wolf could learn a thing or two. Plus she does have the Stealth Specialization.
As for ammo ok ok normal it is.... But i'll be looking ingame never fear .
Ok I looked through the unoffocial Source book and came across the Decker Shotgun. Could I modify it to suit me?
Am I able to modify it to make it more compact.
Also can I change my holsters out for quick draw ones for my 97r's??
I know I'm being a pest sorry.
No stock, shorter barrel, and a 15 rd clip instead of a 25 rd one.

Topic: Voyages of the Rocinante - Firefly RPG QnA
Subject: Ok cool
So no HEAP rounds gotcha...Can I still maybe get the Frag rounds or better yet Sabot flechette shotgun rounds which should not be illegal as they can be used for hunting.
SABOT SHOTGUN SHELLS
Since a strong seal is needed to trap propellant gases behind the projectile, and keep the projectile centered in the barrel, something is needed to fill the undesirable but necessary gap between projectile and barrel, a space referred to as the windage, and this is the role of the sabot.[1] Firing a small size projectile wrapped in a sabot raises the muzzle velocity of the projectile. Made of some lightweight material (usually plastic in smallbore guns, and aluminium - and, in earlier times, wood or papier-mâché - in cannons), the sabot usually consists of several pieces held in place by the cartridge or a loose connection. When the projectile is fired, the sabot blocks the gas, and carries the projectile down the barrel. When the sabot reaches the end of the barrel, the shock of hitting still air pulls the parts of the sabot away from the projectile, allowing the projectile to continue in flight.
Sabots are used to fire the flechettes that form anti-armour kinetic energy penetrators. A sabot is also used to fire anti-personnel flechette rounds. This round consists of the outer cup (sabot) which holds numerous subcaliber darts. The sabot cup holds the individual flechettes together tightly until the sabot case separates after leaving the barrel. For reasons why a smaller diameter projectile can be desirable, see external ballistics and terminal ballistics.
Sabot-type shotgun slugs were marketed in the U.S. starting in about 1985. When used with a 12ga, they offer vastly improved accuracy compared to traditional shotgun slugs. They are now legal for hunting in most states.
As for sleeping arraignments will check the ship out and let you know. Oh wait thats rt.... Ah ok just 1 thing...Ah where are the blueprints...

Subject: In reply to Eol :)
Ok Wyatt, Ash, Trish and the new guy Ryan all have the covert skill and Trish and Ryan have the stealth specialization. Wolf not having it should not be that big of a problem I would think.
Roger as you said that you boo boo’d on the ballistic vests and they are better as relates to damage and stun I went ahead and dropped Dodge for Shotgun d8.
On the subject of shotguns I noticed there was no ammo type listed. Wolf uses what are called Frag-12 which are a series of special purpose shotgun grenades, including high explosive blast, fragmentation,(what he used in the mine) and HEAP (High Explosive Armor Piercing) grenades intended to be fired from any 12-ga shotgun. They are distinguished from regular shotgun rounds by a green hull. When used they offer vastly improved accuracy compared to traditional shotgun slugs.
He specifically uses both Frag and HEAP rounds and has 100 of each type. Again not sure what the damage dice would be on those ammo types.

Subject: Don't worry your safe :)
Technical Engineering – If it has a computer, you can work with it.
•Specialization: Communications, computer programming, hacking, security devices, technical repair, create/alter technical devices
Mechanical Engineering – You know machines and how to fix them
•Specialization: Invention, machinery maintenance, mechanical repairs, plumbing, security systems, identify problems, rewire and reroute electrical.
Rewire and Reroute Electrical is more Ship/Vehicle based I believe. I assume by your saying 'protecting my character's future usefulness to the crew' that your character is some type of Computer geek. Well where your good with comps, I don't know the first thing about them and would suck trying to fix one. Vice versa as I'm good with Mechanics you suck and would be totally lost in an engine room. Unless you too have the same skills I do THEN it could be MY job that's in danger
However it pans out welcome to the game........

Subject: Ok hereeee's Wolfeee :)
Ok Roger decided to take you up on your one time offer and go deeper with Wolf.
Ok I decided to improve the skills he already had instead of choosing different ones, so I added more specializations.
Ok first I removed Covert as I don’t think Wolf being as big as he is ever gonna be that so that gave me 6 points. Added to that the 6 points for this Adventure and the 4 for the added Complications I now had a total of 16 points and used them as follows.
Skills:
Athletics d6
*Dodge d8 (+2)
*Weight-Lifting d8
Mechanical Engineering d6
*Maintenance d10
*Repair d10 (upgraded to d12 +2)
*Rewire and Reroute Electrical d8 (+2)
Planetary Vehicles d6
*Ground Vehicle Repair d8 (+2)
Guns d6
*Pistol d10 (upgraded to d12 +2)
Melee Weapon Combat d6
*Knives d8 (upgraded to d10 +2)
Unarmed Combat d6
*Brawling d10
*Martial Arts d8 (+2)
(Note not sure how the rules go again in determining this, but I would think that both unarmed Combat specializations would over lap as they do in Mixed Martial Arts)
Asset (+2)
Mechanical Empathy (minor) – Having finally accepted the Rocinante as home he is more intune with her, feels her in a better way, and loves her as more then just a ship.
Complications (To be added to existing ones)
Loyal (minor)- After the events on Regina and the way Asher and Wyatt treated him and rushed to get him help, having never had those type of friends other then Sam. He is now 100% loyal to them, the rest of the crew, and the ship herself which he now considers home.

As such he is a bad liar and can be very blunt at times. Holds to the belief that he would rather hurt a person with the truth, then with a lie.
I hope I did this correctly if I made a mistake please correct

Topic: Voyages of the Rocinante - Firefly RPG QnA
Subject: Ok no problem, on that subject
Ok Glad you brought that up as I’ve been wondering about that a few times. The Beretta 93r which the 97r in your game is based on I believe is not a machine gun. It’s a Automatic pistol for single shot fire or in controlled bursts of three rounds, The Beretta pistol Model 93r is derived from the Model 92. It is not just a semi automatic pistol, nor a sub machinegun. Designed expressly for special purpose deployment, it offers enormous fire power coupled with the faculty of firing single shots in semi automatic repetition as well as three shot bursts, at the shooter's choice. It is not fully automatic like a Sub or full size Machine Gun. Moreover, it can be carried on the person like any hand gun, even holstered or concealed.
So I would think that my proficiency in machine guns should actually be in pistols. However as I’m still unsure of the mechanics of the Firefly game and how guns are designated I never thought to ask and only present it now as you brought it up.
So you say we can tweak ok why not this, put the d10 into pistols instead of Machine Gun to cover the 97r’s, add 2 points there. Next add 2 points to repair then if possible the next 2 points to gain Mechanical Empathy (minor) .
You say we can have up to 5 complications ok as I have only 3 could I add Loyal (minor)(After all Wyatt and Asher did for him I think he'd be damn near loyal to them and them only) and Straight Shooter (minor)( Goes along with Chip on Shoulder as he's not a very good liar and he will tell it like it is very bluntly) to gain another 4 points as those two complications are me to a T on some things and I think I could play them quite well . If you tell me yes on the added 2 complications at that point I’ll spend them.
Let me know.............

Subject: Ok Post is up
You know while I was writing my post tonight I had a thought. Seeing as how Eol is returning to the game should he not be the one to write Sam's goodbye.
I had thought to include a conversation in my post dealing with Sam's leaving but got to thinking somehow having Eol write it seemed fitting. Afterall he was the one and true Sam so should he not be the one to say goodbye.
Maybe it's just that I've been thinking of YeOlde alot and how he left the Inn, with at least a last note of goodbye, because September's coming soon and it will be 1 year already
~sigh~

Subject: Better things to come
A blur of time, the Captain yelling, Asher shouting, daylight, pain, darkness...............
There is a rapid succession of three pop noises, water balloons cool must be his birthday, birthday, Mommy how old am I today. Wolf grunts loudly as the first bullet hits him, then a second and third all clustered to the chest, painful, falling, ok bed time. The shots came from the darkness of the drift, and from the same darkness comes a cold laughter
"Sorry Talhone, but your friend there doesn't seem to understand that this shaft is unstable. Couldn’t have him shoot off that shotgun again." The boogie man’s voice comes out of gloom.
Eyes open yet sleepy, pain dulled yet still there, hard to stay awake, Asher in wheel chair, Cap’n Wyatt talking to Willow, Sam all bandaged look like film mummy (giggle), Trish, beautiful Trish, all family, all in room. Asher turning to look at him from foot of the bed at sound of giggle.
“Cap’n, Willow, everyone, he’s awake”
Darkness once more...........
Steadying himself on the captain, helping line up the boogie man in the flames, end of the drift. Gun shooting, bullets hit him, boogie man jerking, dancing, falling down. London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down. Ha ha killed you, killed you!!
A second past, no more boogie man, but boogey man jerk back up, inhuman, rifle in hand. Run, run boogie man no dead!
Eyes open once again, still very sleepy, room quiet, dark, dulled pain, chest hurt, hard to move, where am I??, where am I?? Doc‘s?? Momentary panic, a hand on his head, hand towel with ice, cold, an older man’s voice.
“It’s ok Wolf, your safe, it’s ok”
Heartbeat slowing, voice sounds good, nice, calms him, relaxing, Darkness...............
BLAMMM
Asher shooting boogie man, no not boogie man, sheriff, name what is sheriff’s name, tip of tongue, first shot taking off the Sheriff's ear ha ha, dust get you, no Asher, not dust, Asher, friend.
BLAMMM
The second through Pearson, yes Pearson, Sheriff, no boogie man’s throat and out the back. Dead man, dead man yes.
BLAMMM
NO!! Pearson stood up again, nightmare, nightmare, this can’t be real
Eyes open once more, not so tired, daylight in room, person in room, older man, familiar.
“Doc??”
“Ahh Mr. Apollo I see your more awake today, how do you feel”
“Like I got punched three times by a girlfriend during a very painful delivery of a tenth month old baby. What happened to me”
“Before I answer that drink this and take these” Doc McGuire said as he handed Wolf a glass of water and a pair of white and blue colored pills.
“Well Fenris first of all you took three bullets to the chest which penetrated your ballistic vest to rip into your upper body. Lucky for you that you were wearing that vest as it saved your life.”
“Ahh Doc it sure as tyen shiao duh did not stop three bullets from kicking my ass”
“Well that’s true however the vest helped stop the force of the bullets impact. You see most of the time depending on what area of the body a bullet strikes, excluding the head of course, it’s not the bullet that kills you it’s the kinetic force as the bullet strikes the body that can cause massive hemorrhaging, throw you into shock, and cause you to quickly bleed out and die. As Pearson was using a high powered sniper weapon the force of three bullets all hitting at the same time should have killed you on the spot”
“No shit??”
“No Shit, lucky for you that he was so confident of his weapon and skill with it that he did not take into account the possibility of you wearing a vest. Being an over confident Liou koe shway duh biao-tze huh hoe-tze duh bun ur-tze, he took it for granted you were dead. He could have easily sent a fourth or fifth round into you to finish the job the first three started and very well killed you then”
“You know Doc I been around weapons a long time but I never knew that. So is he dead,... Pearson?” A yawn from Wolf and a sleepy feeling coming over him quickly told him he would be soon asleep once more. Doc McGuire clearly having slipped Wolf a micky.
“Yes Fenris, Pearson is dead“
Wolf’s eyes to him were starting to feel like lead ever getting heavier. Fighting it Wolf had to know, had to stay awake long enough to ask the most important question.
“Doc one more thing, did we all make it, are my friends ok”
“Yes son they are all ok. Banged up, but not as banged up as you, but ok. Now sleep, you need your rest”
Eyes closed, sleeping, no bad dreams...........
