OOC THREAD

I'm not sure whether we've had this discussion before, but I think that Insight rolls probably shouldn't count towards the Tolerance of an encounter.  They represent the PCs failing to get a read on the people they're talking to, not a conversational misstep that might try the other party's patience. 

By the same token, I think introduction rolls shouldn't count as successes, but I've already said my peace on that score and I won't get into it again.

I do not count the Insight rolls towards tolerance of an encounter, nor do I count them as successes.

I count the successes on Introductions and Interactions only. I agree with you on the Into successes, though. We can house rule it if you guys want to.

EDIT: I see why this became a question.

I had the Tolerance reduced by 2 when I wrote my RESULTS post, but then Tom threw in a and made his roll a success. When I corrected the RESULTS post I accidentally moved the Tolerance down 1 more, instead of moving it back up and so it was a 2 instead of the 4 it needed to be.

Right!  That's much more understandable!  I'd been scratching my head wondering 'why's he doing that... and why now, after two and a half years of play?'

I will game update tomorrow.

I have been working on the encounters ahead.

Safe travels, Matt

[Telcontar]

Whwre are you going Matt?

[GandalfOfBorg]

Primarily Dublin with trips to the Blarney Stone, Belfast, giants causeway, wicklow mountains, kilkinney... incidentally not to Galway and where my ancestors are from.

Ahhh, I was going to say Dunn Angus was pretty cool out in the west. If you are in Kerry go to the Dingle Penninsula. There is a free masonry church from the sixth century and all throughout the area are ring forts and neolithic standing stones. They are everywhere when you start to look for them and know what to look for. Sometimes a single plinth and other sites have some rings.

In Dublin check out Kilmainim Goal. Its a bit outside the city but a good site. Its the prison where the Easter Uprising guys were imprisoned and executed. National museum was pretty good too.

Dont kiss the Blarney Stone everyone pees on it overnight.

Took the hop-on, hop-off tour and saw the jail... Staying in Dalkey/Killiney, involuntarily walked past Bono's place (it was a bit of a hike with bags from Killiney Station and no taxis).  Planning on at least another day or two back in the city between the tours.

Octagon Bar at Bonos place has THE cleanest bathroom anywhere.

I was there over ten years ago, but another tip for you. When in Temple Bar I paid for all my drinks with cash and paid as I went. A place may have three different licenses, bar, club, disco that allowsd them to stay open later. A place moves from Bar to club at like midnight. Key take away is that the price of drinks magically changed when they sell under a different license 

[GandalfOfBorg]

Lol ok, will remember that.

Test tomorrow at 11AM, guys.

Give me until after noon to get a new game post up.

[Eclecticon]

Best of luck, mate.
