General / Important Changes

VITALITY CAP HAS BEEN RENAMED “MAXIMUM VITALITY”

YOU NOW GAIN +1 MAXIMUM VITALITY FOR EACH OF YOUR FIRST FOUR EVENTS

(FOR EVERY NEW CHARACTER YOU START), AND THEREFORE YOU START GAINING

AP’S AFTER YOUR FIFTH EVENT

AP'S AND VITALITY ARE NOW NOT DEPENDANT (I.E. IF SOMETHING REDUCES YOUR

MAXIMUM VITALITY IN GAME - IT DOES NOT AFFECT YOU GAINING AP'S AND YOU

DON'T HAVE TO 'EARN' BACK THE VITALITY BEFORE YOU CAN CONTINUE GAINING

AP'S)

ANY CHARACTER WHO HAS GAINED AP’S DUE TO THIS RULES CHANGE MAY PICK

THEM IN THIS DOWNTIME PERIOD, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER THEY SHOULD HAVE A

DOWNTIME OR NOT.

FOR ANY CHARACTERS WHO HAVE PLAYED MORE THAN FOUR EVENTS YOU WILL BE

GRANTED ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR NEW MAXIMUM VITALITY (IF YOU

PICKED VITALITY AS A STARTING PICK, YOU SHOULD TELL THE PLOT COORDINATOR)

AND THE VITALITY ON YOUR CHARACTER SHEET AS AP'S

FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU HAVE 17 VITALITY, AND DIDN'T PICK VITALITY AS A STARTING

SKILL, YOU WILL GO TO 10 MAXIMUM VITALITY AND GAIN 7 AP'S.

IF YOU HAD 17 VITALITY AND DID PICK (E.G. + 2 VITALITY) AS A STARTING SKILL,

YOU WILL GO TO 12 MAXIMUM VITALITY, AND GAIN 5 AP’S

ALIENS & FOREIGN CHARACTERS

ALL REQUESTS FOR PLAYING ALIEN (NON EARTH) CREATURES MUST HAVE PRIOR APPROVAL FROM THE PLOT CO-ORDINATOR AND SYSTEM REFEREES. ANY REQUESTS

FOR PLAYING A NON-BRITISH (FOREIGN) CHARACTER HAS TO HAVE PRIOR APPROVAL FROM THE PLOT CO-ORDINATOR, WHO MAY REJECT YOUR REQUEST IF TOO

MANY ARE IN THE SYSTEM.

THE STARGATE PROGRAMME IS PRIMARILY A HUMAN (BRITISH) ORGANISATION AND AS SUCH ALIENS AND CHARACTERS FROM OUTSIDE THE UK ARE RARE AND

THERE IS LIKELY TO BE VERY FEW (IF ANY) IN THE SYSTEM AT ANY ONE TIME.

AS PLAYING AN ALIEN IS A RARE EXCEPTION RATHER THAN A RULE – IT IS EXPECTED THAT THAT THE KIT REQUIREMENTS FOR PLAYERS PLAYING PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE

STANDARD BRITISH SEF MEMBERS ARE HIGHER.

PEOPLE CANNOT SELECT AN ALIEN CREATURE AS THEIR FIRST CHARACTER TO PLAY IN THE STARGATE UNIVERSE AND MUST PLAY A HUMAN FIRST.

SPECIAL: "REGENERATION" : YOUR HEALING TIMES ARE HALVED

SPECIAL: "NATURAL RESISTANCE" : AS A STARTING CHARACTER YOU START OFF WITH A FREE NATURAL RESISTANCE FEAT

DOWNTIMES, PRIMARY / SECONDARY CHARACTERS, DEATH & RETIREMENT

IN GAME YOU CAN HAVE ONE "PRIMARY" CHARACTER, AND ANY NUMBER

OF "SECONDARY" CHARACTERS.

[FOR CURRENT PLAYERS AS OF THE DATE OF THE RULES CHANGE - THE DEFAULT PRIMARY

CHARACTER IS THE EARLIEST CHARACTER THE CREATED. ALL OTHER CHARACTERS ARE SECONDARY

CHARACTERS.]

FOR EACH DOWNTIME PERIOD, YOUR DOWNTIME GOES ON THE

CHARACTER THAT YOU NAMED WHEN BOOKING THE EVENT (NOTE THE

CHARACTER YOU NAME WHEN BOOKING IS THE CHARACTER YOU MUST

INTEND TO PLAY AT THE EVENT) – AND THEY GET ALL THE PARTS OF THE

DOWNTIME : +MAXIMUM VITALITY OR + AP / TRAINING / RESEARCH ETC…

YOU CANNOT SPLIT YOUR DOWNTIME BETWEEN MULTIPLE CHARACTERS.)

IF YOUR PRIMARY CHARACTER DIES OR IS RETIRED, YOU CAN ADD A

NUMBER OF MONTHS OF DOWNTIME EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF EVENTS

PLAYED BY THE CHARACTER WHO DIED/RETIRED TO EITHER ONE OF YOUR

SECONDARY CHARACTERS, OR TO A NEW CHARACTER. YOUR NEW

CHARACTER, OR SECONDARY CHARACTER YOU ASSIGN THE DOWNTIMES

TO, BECOMES YOUR NEW PRIMARY CHARACTER.

RETIREMENT IS CONSIDERED PERMANENT, IF YOU RETIRE YOUR CHARACTER,

THIS CHARACTER IS CONSIDERED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE SYSTEM AND

CANNOT BE PLAYED AS A PLAYER CHARACTER AGAIN, BUT MAY BE

AVAILABLE TO THE PLOT CO-ORDINATOR (WITH AGREEMENT FROM THE

ORIGINAL PLAYER).

IF A SECONDARY CHARACTER DIES OR IS RETIRED THEN YOU DO NOT GAIN

ANY BENEFIT TO OTHER CHARACTERS (I.E. IF A SECONDARY CHARACTER

DIES OR IS RETIRED, YOU DO NOT GAIN ANY DOWNTIME BENEFITS TO A

PRIMARY OR SECONDARY CHARACTER).

ON RETIREMENT / DEATH YOUR NEW CHARACTER GAINS BENEFITS BASED

ON THE NUMBER OF DOWNTIMES YOUR PREVIOUS CHARACTER GAINED

+ 1 MONTHS TRAINING (PER DOWNTIME)

OR + 1 FEAT (PER DOWNTIME)

OR + 1 AP (PER 5 DOWNTIMES)

THERE IS A CAP OF A MAXIMUM OF 15 MONTHS DOWNTIME THAT YOU CAN

TRANSFER TO THE NEW CHARACTER.


Skills

SOME OF THE SKILLS WILL INCLUDE PERFORMING SIMPLE TESTS (WITH QUICK ANSWERS) IN THE FIELD. OTHERS MAY INVOLVE THE CHARACTER SPENDING SOME TIME

WORKING ON THE PROBLEM. SOME SKILLS WILL NEED TO BE USED IN COMBINATION TO PERFORM CERTAIN TASKS OR MEET CERTAIN CHALLENGES. FOR EXAMPLE, IT

WOULD BE NECESSARY TO HAVE NUCLEAR PHYSICS, EXPLOSIVES TRAINING AND ENGINEERING TO DEFUSE NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

SKILL GAME SYSTEM

CERTAIN SKILLS HAVE A SET OF “CARDS” WHICH CAN BE USED TO SOLVE PROBLEMS. THESE CAN BE DOWNLOADED SEPARATELY AND YOU SHOULD ENSURE THAT YOU

HAVE ONE SET OF EACH OF THE SKILLS YOU HAVE. THESE ARE:

COMMUNICATIONS

COMPUTING

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

MECHCANICAL ENGINEERING

EXPLOSIVES TRAINING

LARCENY

YOU ARE GIVEN A NUMBER OF CARDS AND A NUMBER (NORMALLY BETWEEN 6 AND 9, DEPENDING ON HOW EXPERIENCED YOU ARE – ALTHOUGH SOME ADVANCED

PERKS ALLOW YOU TO GET HIGHER) MAY BE CHOSEN AND TAKEN OUT WITH YOU ON A MISSION. EVEN IF YOU ARE ON BASE YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR CHOSEN CARDS

SEPARATE FROM YOUR OTHER CARD – AS IF A PROBLEM IS BEING WORKED ON – IT IS CONSIDERED CHEATING TO SORT OUT YOUR AVAILABLE CARDS IF YOU ARE

CONSIDERING HELPING ON A PROBLEM.

THE CARDS REPRESENT THE EXPERTISE AND ACTIONS REQUIRED BY THE CHARACTER IN ORDER TO SOLVE A PARTICULAR TECHNICAL PROBLEM. WE WOULD

ENCOURAGE THE PLAYER TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE SUITABLE PHYS-REPS FOR THE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED, AND THAT THEY PHYSICALLY CARRY OUT THE ACTION

STATED ON THE CARD TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITY. THIS WILL ENHANCE THE ATMOSPHERE AND MAINTAIN THE STANDARD OF ROLEPLAY.

A REFEREE WILL HAVE SELECTED A SET OF “PROBLEM CARDS” THAT REPRESENT THE PROBLEMS WITH A PARTICULAR DEVICE. THE REFEREE WILL NORMALLY EXPLAIN

WHAT THE PROBLEM IS (IN ROLE-PLAYING TERMS) AS HE IS PLAYING EACH CARD – AND YOU SHOULD APPROPRIATELY ROLE-PLAY THE EFFECTS OF ANY CARDS WHICH

YOU ARE PLAYING.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A CARD THAT CAN OVERCOME THE PROBLEM THEN YOU CANNOT ACHIEVE WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE.

OTHER PEOPLE CAN ASSIST TO OVERCOME CERTAIN PROBLEMS, SHOULD YOU BE UNABLE TO DEAL WITH A SPECIFIC PROBLEM CARD. (NOTE – NO MORE THAN TWO

PEOPLE CAN WORK ON ANY ONE PARTICULAR PROBLEM, AND UNLESS YOU HAVE AMBIDEXTERITY YOU CAN ONLY WORK ON ONE PROBLEM AT A TIME)

DIFFERENT CARDS TAKE DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF TIME IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THEIR EFFECT.

A COPY OF THE PLAYER CARDS FOR YOU TO PRINT & LAMINATE, ETC. CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE: HTTP://WWW.STARGATELRP.CO.UK/DOWNLOADS/

Feats

FEATS REPRESENT ADDITIONAL ABILITIES YOUR CHARACTER CAN DO; IT’S THE SORT OF THING ONLY EXPERIENCE CAN GIVE.

FOR STANDARD EVENTS NINE FEATS ARE GAINED OVER THE WEEKEND (3 AT TIME IN, AND THEN 3 ARE GAINED ON SATURDAY MORNING, AND 3

ON SUNDAY MORNING).

FOR XMAS SOCIAL EVENTS, FIVE FEATS ARE GAINED – ALL OF WHICH ARE GAINED AT TIME-IN.

ALL FEATS MUST BE CALLED OUT BY PLAYERS AND NPCS AT THEIR TIME OF USE

FEATS ARE SPLIT INTO THREE TYPES: STANDARD, UPGRADES AND ADVANCED UPGRADES.

STANDARD FEATS

STANDARD FEATS ARE NORMALLY TEMPORARY (UNLESS STATED) AND ARE REMOVED FROM YOUR CHARACTER WHEN USED, HOWEVER THE

NUMBER USED FOR SOME FEATS IS NOTED AS THE CUMULATIVE USE WILL ALLOW FOR A PERMANENT VERSION TO BE AWARDED (IF

APPLICABLE).

UPGRADE FEATS

THESE FEATS REMAIN WITH THE CHARACTER, BUT THEY HAVE SOME USAGE RESTRICTIONS (NORMALLY ONCE PER DAY UNLESS OTHERWISE

STATED).

TO OBTAIN THE UPGRADED VERSION OF THE STANDARD TEMPORARY FEAT YOU WILL HAVE HAD TO HAVE USED 5 STANDARD TEMPORARY

FEATS PLUS YOUR CURRENT LEVEL IN THE UPGRADED FEAT. THESE (AND ANY OTHER UPGRADES) OCCUR BETWEEN EVENTS DURING

DOWNTIME.

EXAMPLE:

TO OBTAIN YOUR 1ST UPGRADE FEAT OF CRACK SHOT YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE USED 5 ‘CRITICAL HITS’ (5 + CURRENT LEVEL [0] = 5).

TO OBTAIN A 2ND CRACK SHOT YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE USED A FURTHER 6 ‘CRITICAL HITS’ (5 + CURRENT LEVEL [1] = 6).

TO OBTAIN A 3RD CRACK SHOT YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE USED A FURTHER 7 ‘CRITICAL HITS’ (5 + CURRENT LEVEL [2] = 7), ETC.

ADVANCED UPGRADE FEATS

THESE FEATS ARE ADVANCED VERSIONS OF YOUR UPGRADE FEATS, THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE USAGE RESTRICTIONS, BUT THESE ARE

NORMALLY ONCE PER MISSION, BUT SOME OF THE FEATS BECOME PERMANENTLY ACTIVE ON YOUR CHARACTER, MEANING THAT YOU CAN

USE THEM AT ANY TIME.

TO OBTAIN THE ADVANCED UPGRADE VERSIONS YOU HAVE TO HAVE THREE UPGRADE FEATS + YOUR CURRENT LEVEL IN THE ADVANCED

UPGRADED FEAT. THESE (AND ANY OTHER UPGRADES) OCCUR BETWEEN EVENTS DURING DOWNTIME.

NOTE – SOME OF THE FEATS HAVE RESTRICTIONS THAT YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE OF THE ADVANCED UPGRADES – IF THIS IS THE CASE THEN

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO UPGRADE IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO – YOU SHOULD SAY WHETHER YOU WANT TO DO THIS ON YOUR DOWNTIME.

EXAMPLE:

TO OBTAIN YOUR ADVANCED UPGRADE FEAT OF DEAD SHOT YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE GAINED 3 CRACK SHOTS (I.E. HAVE USED A TOTAL

OF 18 CRITICAL HITS) – YOU NOW TRADE IN THESE THREE CRACK SHOTS FOR ONE DEAD SHOT.

TO OBTAIN YOUR SECOND DEAD SHOT, YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE GAINED 4 CRACK SHOTS (I.E. HAVE USED A TOTAL OF ANOTHER 26

CRITICAL HITS) – YOU NOW TRADE IN THESE FOUR CRACK SHOTS FOR YOUR SECOND DEAD SHOT.

TO OBTAIN YOUR THIRD DEAD SHOT, YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE GAINED 5 CRACK SHOTS (I.E. HAVE USED A TOTAL OF ANOTHER 35

CRITICAL HITS)– YOU NOW TRADE IN THESE FIVE CRACK SHOTS YOUR THIRD DEAD SHOT.


FEATS LIST

FEATS ARE LISTED BELOW IN EITHER ONE, TWO, OR THREE LEVELS – THE FIRST LEVEL FEATS CAN BE TAKEN AS YOUR DAILY FEATS, THE SECOND LEVEL FEATS ARE THE

UPGRADES, AND THE THIRD LEVEL FEATS ARE THE ADVANCED UPGRADES.

-2 TO SHOW THE FULL EXTENT OF THE WOUNDS. THESE WILL TELL THE PARAMEDIC OR DOCTOR EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED TO

TREAT.

IF YOU TAKE A CRITICAL HIT YOU ALSO OPEN A GREEN WOUND CARD (IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER WOUND CARDS YOU

SHOULD OPEN DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE HIT)

RED WOUND CARDS RED TRAUMA CARDS ARE GIVEN TO PLAYERS AND REFEREE’S TO BE RIPPED OPEN WHEN DAMAGE TAKES YOU TO EITHER -3 OR

-4 OR -5 TO SHOW THE FULL EXTENT OF THE WOUNDS. THESE WILL TELL THE DOCTOR EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED TO TREAT.

Combat & Weapons

INTRODUCTION

CHARACTERS MUST HAVE THE APPROPRIATE PHYS REP IN ORDER TO BE ISSUED WITH A PARTICULAR WEAPON. METAL MELEE WEAPONS OR

DECOMMISSIONED WEAPONS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.

ALL AMMUNITION CLIPS/MAGAZINES AND MUNITIONS OF ALL TYPES MUST ALSO BE PHYSREP’D (INCLUDING ITEMS SUCH AS BOOBY TRAPS AND

GRENADES – INCLUDING THOSE FIRED FROM LAUNCHERS) – PHYS REPS FOR MAGAZINES ARE ISSUED TO THE IC ORGANISATION FOR DEPLOYMENT TO

CHARACTERS IN CHARACTER. IF YOU WERE NOT ISSUED IC WITH AMMO, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE AMMO.

ARMOUR

ARMOUR PROVIDES THE CHARACTER WITH EXTRA PROTECTION AND MUST BE PHYSREP’D

NOTE THAT ARMOUR MUST BY PHYSREP’D – THERE MUST BE SOME PHYSICAL ENCUMBRANCE IN ORDER FOR THE ARMOUR BENEFIT TO BE GAINED AND ARE

REQUIRED TO COVER 50% OF THE PROTECTED LOCATION (SEE BELOW). AN ASSAULT VEST FOR EXAMPLE WOULD NOT BE CLASSED AS BODY ARMOUR, BUT A

PLATE CARRIER (EITHER WITH PLATES OR FOAM INSERTS ETC…) WOULD BE CLASSED AS BODY ARMOUR.

ARM ARMOUR +1 ARMOUR MUST COVER 50% OF BOTH ARMS - NOTE ARMOUR VALUE IS +1 FOR BOTH ARMS, NOT EACH ARM

LEG ARMOUR +1 ARMOUR MUST COVER 50% OF BOTH LEGS - NOTE ARMOUR VALUE IS +1 FOR BOTH LEGS, NOT EACH LEG

HELMET +2ARMOUR MUST BE A HELMET WITH ENCUMBRANCE

BODY ARMOUR +4ARMOUR MUST BE A CHEST ARMOUR COVER WITH PLATES AT LEAST IN FRONT

ANY DAMAGE WHICH GOES "THROUGH" VITALITY, OR IF YOU ARE ON 0 VITALITY, IS APPLIED TO ARMOUR FIRST, AND THEN TO BODY – UNLESS IT IS A CALLED

SHOT TO A NON ARMOURED LOCATION.

FEATS WHICH INCREASE BODY (SUCH AS DIE HARD) DO NOT AFFECT ARMOUR IN ANY WAY

WHEN ARMOUR TAKES DAMAGE IT ALWAYS TAKES DAMAGE IN THE ORDER LISTED ABOVE (SO IF YOU TAKE TWO POINTS OF DAMAGE TO A FULLY ARMOURED

BODY THE ARM AND LEG ARMOUR ARE DAMAGED, IF YOU TAKE FOUR POINTS OF DAMAGE TO A FULLY ARMOURED BODY – THE ARM, LEG AND HELMET ARE

DAMAGED). ARMOUR DAMAGED IN SUCH A WAY IS RENDERED UNUSABLE AFTER TAKING DAMAGE, UNTIL REPAIRED BY SOMEONE WITH THE ARMOURER

SKILL. IT TAKES 10 MINUTES OF REPAIR TO REPAIR ONE POINT OF ARMOUR. SO BODY ARMOUR ABOVE TAKES 40 MINUTES TO REPAIR.

COVER

WHEN RUNNING THROUGH DENSE TREES OR STATIONARY BEHIND A COVERING, BUT NOT CONCEALING OBJECT I.E. TREE, DENSE UNDERGROWTH, STANDING

STONE, HALF OF SHOTS HIT.

RELOADING

IN NORMAL FIRE FIGHTS, WHERE INDIVIDUAL TARGETS ARE BEING CALLED, A CHARACTER IS ASSUMED TO BE ABLE TO RELOAD WHEN NECESSARY. YOU

MUST ROLE-PLAY CHANGING YOUR MAGAZINE. THERE ARE SOME PARTICULAR OCCASIONS WHEN A RELOAD MUST BE CALLED AS WELL AS ROLE-PLAYED

(UNLESS YOU ARE USING THE ALL GUNS BLAZING FEAT), AFTER CALLING COVERING FIRE, SPRAY FIRE, HEAVY FIRE, OR USING A WEAPON THAT HAS A

SIGNIFICANT RELOAD TIME – E.G. MISSILE OR GRENADE LAUNCHER

AFTER THE FIRE FIGHT PLEASE HAND YOUR USED MAGAZINE IN TO THE REFEREE.

ALSO NOTE THAT YOU MUST HAVE PHYS REPS OF AMMUNITION TO ACTUALLY BE USING THEM, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PHYS REP FOR A MAGAZINE, YOU

HAVE NO AMMO FOR THE GUN. STOCKS OF AMMO MAY BE REGULATED IN CHARACTER – AND WHILE YOU MAY HAVE AMMO CLIPS OUT OF CHARACTER,

IF YOU HAVE NOT GAINED AMMO THROUGH IN CHARACTER MEANS, YOU DO NOT HAVE AMMO.


WEAPONS DAMAGE / CALLS

DAMAGE CALLS ARE NOW OF THE FORMAT : TARGET – DAMAGE – EFFECT

THERE MUST BE 1 SECOND BETWEEN CALLS, NO DRUM ROLLING OF CALLS

Target

TARGET (NAME) I.E. “COLONEL BOB” HITS ONLY THE PERSON TARGETED, IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY A TARGET, THEN THE CALL

MISSES.

TARGET (NAME) - GLOBAL I.E. “COLONEL BOB – GLOBAL” HITS EVERYONE IN A 10 FT. RADIUS AROUND THE TARGET

TARGET (NAME) - MASS I.E. “COLONEL BOB – MASS” HITS EVERYONE IN A 30 FT. RADIUS AROUND THE TARGET

Damage

EXAMPLES OF DAMAGE CALLS ARE LISTED UNDER EACH WEAPON BELOW TO SHOW HOW THESE CALLS CAN BE PUT INTO ACTION.

Effect

INCAPACITATE (INCAP) IF YOU ARE TAKEN TO 0 VITALITY, OR ARE ON 0 VITALITY WHEN HIT BY THIS CALL, THEN YOU ARE INCAPACITATED, CONSIDERED

UNCONSCIOUS AND CANNOT MOVE OR USE FEATS FOR 30 SECONDS.

KNOCKBACK (KB) YOU ARE KNOCKED BACK 10 FEET AND SHOULD ROLEPLAY THIS. THIS EFFECT OCCURS EVEN IF YOU TAKE NO DAMAGE FROM

THE CALL ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

KNOCKDOWN (KD)

YOU ARE KNOCKED DOWN TO THE FLOOR, THE FRONT OR BACK OF YOUR TORSO MUST TOUCH THE FLOOR. IF UNSAFE TO DO

SO, YOU MUST DROP TO YOUR KNEE FOR 10 SECONDS AND CANNOT MOVE OR INITIATE COMBAT DURING THIS TIME. THIS

PARALYSE THE CHARACTER IS HELD IN POSITION UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING BUT WRIGGLE IN EXTREME PAIN.

SPECIAL SEE REFEREE IF YOU ARE HIT BY THIS CALL.

STUN IF YOU ARE TAKEN TO 0 VITALITY, OR ARE ON 0 VITALITY WHEN HIT BY THIS CALL, THEN YOU ARE STUNNED, AND CANNOT MOVE

OR USE FEATS FOR 30 SECONDS. THIS CALL CANNOT DO DAMAGE TO BODY.

THROUGH IF DAMAGE IS LISTED AS “THROUGH” THEN IT IGNORES VITALITY AND GOES STRAIGHT TO ARMOUR / BODY

THE FOLLOWING ARE EXAMPLE OF SPECIAL CALLS THAT YOU MAY GET HIT WITH IN GAME

CRITICAL HIT / SNIPER SHOT SEE THE FEATS SECTION FOR FULL DESCRIPTION

DISARM YOU SHOULD DROP YOUR WEAPON TO THE FLOOR, UNLESS YOU HAVE FEATS TO STOP T THIS.

CHOKE YOU ARE RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS FOR 30 SECONDS

GRAPPLE YOU ARE RESTRAINED AND CANNOT MOVE ALTHOUGH YOU CAN STRUGGLE

CALLED SHOT A TARGETED LOCATION, OR POSSIBLY YOUR WEAPON HAS BEEN STRUCK – IT IS IMMOBILISED (AND YOU TAKE 1 DAMAGE)

SMALL ARMS

Assault Rifle

DESCRIPTION

THIS CATEGORY OF WEAPONS ARE VERY POPULAR AMONG COMBAT MISSION PERSONNEL DUE TO THE TACTICAL FLEXIBILITY AND HIGH DAMAGE OF

THESE WEAPONS. THEY ARE ALSO POPULAR AMONG COMBAT PERSONNEL AS IN A PINCH, LIGHT MACHINE GUN AMMUNITION CAN BE CANNIBALISED

(A LENGTHY PROCESS) AND USED TO REFILL ASSAULT RIFLE MAGAZINES.

A COMMON MISTAKE BY ROOKIES IS FAILURE TO HAVE A SLING ATTACHED TO THEIR FIREARM. A GOOD SLING CAN HELP MITIGATE THE

ENCUMBRANCE OF AN ASSAULT RIFLE, AND AVOID HAVING TO PUT THEIR WEAPON DOWN WHILST THEY PERFORM OTHER ACTIVITIES. REMEMBER

ALWAYS HAVE A SLING FOR YOUR RIFLE.

EXAMPLES L86, M4, M16, G36, SCAR-L, MAGPUL PDR


GOOD DAMAGE OUTPUT

GOOD AMMUNITION SIZE FOR ITS DAMAGE OUTPUT.

GOOD FOR LAYING DOWN SUPPRESSING FIRE.

GOOD TYPE OF FIREARM FOR MOST COMBAT

TASKS.

AMMO CAN BE CANNIBALISED FROM LIGHT

MACHINE GUNS.

CARBINES AND COMPACT VARIETIES ARE GOOD

FOR CLOSE QUARTERS.

CAN QUICKLY USE UP AMMUNITION IF USED IN A

SUPPORT FIRE ROLE.

NORMALLY REQUIRES AMMUNITION WEBBING OR A

DESCRIPTION THERE IS A LOT OF DEBATE ABOUT THE USEFULNESS OF THE SHOTGUN, WITH MOST MISSION PERSONNEL HAVING THEIR OWN VIEW ON THE WEAPONS.

STILL, THEY HAVE PROVED THEIR WORTH IN CLOSE QUARTER COMBATS. IT IS NOT UNUSUAL TO SEE MANY OF THE MORE CLOSE COMBAT TRAINED

PERSONNEL TO HAVE SHOTGUN SLUNG OVER THEIR BACK.

EXAMPLES SAS12, MOSSBERG 500


EXCELLENT AGAINST ALIENS WHO WISH TO ENGAGE

WITH THE USE OF A SNIPER RIFLE, A MARKSMAN CAN TAKE OUT KEY ENEMY PERSONNEL OFTEN FROM LONG RANGE.

SNIPER RIFLES ARE SPECIALISED WEAPONS USING DEDICATED PRECISION AMMUNITION. AS SUCH THE AMMUNITION IS NOT INTERCHANGEABLE WITH

ANY OTHER TYPES OF WEAPON. A SNIPER RIFLE IS BEST USED AT LONG RANGE; AGAINST MULTIPLE OPPONENTS, OR IN CLOSE COMBAT IT GAINS FEW

OF ITS BENEFITS. WHEN USED AT A DECENT RANGE AND WITH STEALTH AND SURPRISE THIS WEAPON CAN INFLICT DEVASTATING DAMAGE.

TO GAIN THE MOST BENEFIT FROM THIS CATEGORY OF WEAPON, THE SNIPER TRAINING SKILL NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO ALLOW THE USE OF THE SNIPER

SHOT FEAT.

WEAPONS JAMMING/BREAKING

THE RULES STATE THAT THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST ONE SECOND BETWEEN CALLS – THIS IS FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS – NOT LEAST THAT IT TAKES THIS LONG TO

ACTUALLY MENTALLY ADD UP THE NUMBER OF HITS THAT YOU’VE TAKEN (BOTH CHARACTERS AND MONSTERS) AND IN A FIRE FIGHT, IT’S TO STOP IT TURNING INTO

“WHO CAN SHOUT NUMBERS THE FASTEST.”

WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOMETIMES IN THE HEAT OF COMBAT, THERE MAY BE A LITTLE EXCITEMENT AND ADRENALINE – BUT IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN GAME BALANCE, IF

THE REFEREE’S OR SYSTEM REFEREE’S SEE/HEAR PEOPLE DRUM PEOPLE USING CALLS WITHOUT THE ONE SECOND GAP THE RULES REQUIRE, THE REFEREE MAY CALL A

'WEAPON JAM' (OR ‘WEAPON BREAK’ IF THEY ARE USING A MELEE WEAPON) AT THE INDIVIDUAL

IF THIS CALL IS AIMED AT YOU THEN YOUR WEAPON HAS JAMMED (OR BROKEN IN CASE OF MELEE WEAPONS) – YOU CANNOT USE IT UNLESS YOU SPEND 1 MINUTE

UNJAMMING IT (OR IN THE CASE OF A MELEE WEAPON, IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED).

IF YOU BELIEVE THIS CALL WAS UNFAIRLY AIMED AT YOU – YOU SHOULD NOT COMPLAIN AT THE TIME, AND YOU SHOULD SPEAK TO A REFEREE OR SYSTEM REFEREE

AFTERWARD COMBAT HAS CONCLUDED.


Downtime

POST-EVENT

FOR YOUR FIRST FOUR EVENTS, YOU GAIN +1 MAXIMUM VITALITY. AFTER

THIS TIME YOU INSTEAD GAIN 1 ADVANCEMENT POINT.

ENSURE YOU HAND IN YOUR CHARACTER CARD TO THE PLOT

COORDINATOR, AT THE END OF THE EVENT, WHICH MUST HAVE CLEARLY

MARKED ON THE BACK OF IT, ANY FEATS YOU HAVE GAINED OR USED.

FOR EACH DOWNTIME PERIOD, YOUR DOWNTIME GOES ON THE

CHARACTER THAT YOU NAMED WHEN BOOKING THE EVENT (NOTE THE

CHARACTER YOU NAME WHEN BOOKING IS THE CHARACTER YOU MUST

INTEND TO PLAY AT THE EVENT) – AND THEY GET ALL THE PARTS OF THE

DOWNTIME : +MAXIMUM VITALITY OR + AP / TRAINING / RESEARCH

ETC… YOU CANNOT SPLIT YOUR DOWNTIME BETWEEN MULTIPLE

CHARACTERS.)

DOWNTIME RETURNS

AFTER AN EVENT FINISHES YOU MUST FILL IN A DOWNTIME FORM. THE DATES

FOR DOWNTIME CLOSURE AND THE DOWNTIME LINK WILL BE LISTED ON THE

FORUMS AND ON WWW.STARGATELRP.CO.UK . THIS FORM NEEDS TO BE

RETURNED TO THE PLOT CO-ORDINATOR, WHOSE EMAIL IS BOTH ON THE

FORM, AND ON THE WEBSITE.

DOWNTIME IS SPLIT INTO FOUR SECTIONS:

DEVELOPMENT

SKILL USAGE

RESEARCH

MISCELLANEOUS

YOU CAN ONLY UTILISE THE IMMEDIATE DOWNTIME AFTER THE LAST EVENT

YOU ATTENDED, YOU CANNOT "WITHHOLD" YOUR DOWNTIME UNTIL A LATER

DATE AND FILL IN MULTIPLE DOWNTIMES. YOU MUST COMPLETE THE

DOWNTIME IN THE SPECIFIED SLOT.

IF YOU HAVE GAINED A DOWNTIME THROUGH CREWING OR EVENT

ORGANISING, THEN YOU MUST ALSO COMPLETE A DOWNTIME - AND WHICH

"FEATS" YOU WISH TO TAKE AS PART OF YOUR CREWING BONUS.

Development

EACH DOWNTIME YOU GET THREE "DEVELOPMENT" SLOTS. IN THESE SLOTS

YOU CAN DO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:

TRAIN

YOU CAN SPEND ONE SLOT TOWARDS LEARNING A

PARTICULAR SKILL (SEE TRAINING TIMES). IF YOU

HAVE A TEACHER YOU CAN GAIN A MAXIMUM OF 1

MONTH OFF EACH SKILL'S TRAINING DURATION PER

DOWNTIME.

RANDOM ASSIGNMENT

YOU CAN SPEND ONE SLOT HAVING A DOWNTIME

ADVENTURE OFF WORLD; YOU WILL GAIN A

RANDOM FEAT OR TRAINING TOWARDS A SKILL, OR

A UNIQUE ABILITY, OR MAYBE

NOTHING….DEPENDING ON THE MISSION OR PIECES

OF INFORMATION. YOU WILL RECEIVE A FULL

DESCRIPTION OF THIS MISSION IN YOUR DOWNTIME

RETURN.

TEACH

YOU CAN SPEND ONE SLOT TEACHING SOMEONE A

SKILL. IF YOU ARE TEACHING A COMBAT SKILL YOU

GAIN A PERSONAL SENSE OF PURPOSE FEAT, ANY

OTHER SKILL GRANTS YOU A FLASH OF INSIGHT SKILL.

IMPROVE

YOU CAN SPEND ONE SLOT LEARNING MORE ABOUT

CERTAIN SKILLS (COMMUNICATIONS, AND

COMPUTING ETC.). YOU CAN DO THIS A MAXIMUM

OF ONCE PER DOWNTIME, AND GAIN +1 TO YOUR

CARD POOL FOR EACH MISSION. YOU CAN

INCREASE TO A MAXIMUM OF 9 CARDS IN YOUR

HAND AT ANY ONE TIME.

UPKEEP

YOU CAN SPEND SLOTS UP KEEPING CERTAIN SKILLS

(BODYBUILDER) - IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS AT LEAST

ONCE IN THE DOWNTIME, YOU LOSE THAT SKILL.

Background Skill Usage

EACH DOWNTIME YOU CAN CHOOSE TO USE YOUR BACKGROUND FEAT:

DREAMING SPIRES, INSIDER INFORMATION AND EXPERIMENTAL KIT IF YOU

WISH TO, AND YOU SHOULD INCLUDE INFORMATION OF HOW YOU INTEND

TO USE IT:

Research

YOU CAN SPEND YOUR DOWNTIME RESEARCHING ITEMS WHICH YOU HAVE

DISCOVERED AT PREVIOUS EVENTS. YOUR RESEARCH DIRECTLY INFLUENCES

ANY NEW TECHNOLOGIES THAT COME OUT OF THE STARGATE PROJECT.

THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE AMOUNT OF RESEARCH YOU CAN ATTEMPT TO DO

DURING DOWNTIME - BUT YOU ONLY HAVE A SET AMOUNT OF TIME TO

COMPLETE IT IN. SO YOU CAN RESEARCH ONE ITEM IN YOUR DOWNTIME,

OR TEN ITEMS IN YOUR DOWNTIME - BUT IF YOU RESEARCH JUST ONE ITEM

YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO GET A LOT OF USEFUL INFORMATION OUT OF IT

THAN SPLITTING YOUR TIME BETWEEN TEN ITEMS.

YOU ALWAYS RUN THE RISK OF THE EXPERIMENT GOING WRONG AND A

SIDE-EFFECT OR BAD THING HAPPENING... THESE THINGS HAPPEN IN THE

WORLD OF RESEARCH.

WHEN RESEARCHING AN ITEM - YOU NEED TO SAY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU ARE

RESEARCHING, WHAT SKILLS YOU ARE USING AND WHAT IT IS THAT YOU ARE

ATTEMPTING TO GET OUT OF IT - SO IF YOU'RE ATTEMPTING TO ANALYSE A

PIECE OF MOSS THAT WAS FOUND ON PLANET X, YOU NEED TO STATE THAT

YOU'RE ATTEMPTING TO ANALYSE "MOSS FROM PLANET X", USING

"ECOLOGY", AND "ATTEMPTING TO FIND A WAY TO TURN THE MOSS INTO A

NEW FOOD SOURCE THAT COULD FEED THE PLANET - ASSUMING WE CAN

GET RID OF ITS NASTY POISONOUS SIDE EFFECT."

SHOULD TWO PLAYERS JOIN UP TO JOINTLY WORK ON A PROJECT THEY

GAIN MORE BENEFIT THAN IF THEY RESEARCH IT THEMSELVES - BUT THEY BOTH

NEED TO STATE IN THE RESEARCH SECTION OF THE DOWNTIME THAT IT IS A

JOINT PROJECT, OTHERWISE IT'S ASSUMED TO BE SEPARATE WORKLOAD.

YOUR RESULTS WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU IN YOUR DOWNTIME RETURN.

AND GECKO PRODUCTIONS.

SAFETY

SAFETY IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT REFEREES

AND PLAYERS CHECK THAT MELEE WEAPONS ARE IN A GOOD STATE OF

REPAIR AND NOT UNSAFE. SINCE EVEN A SAFE WEAPON MAY BE USED

DANGEROUSLY IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ALL BLOWS SHOULD BE PULLED (I.E.

THE FULL STRENGTH OF THE BLOW SHOULD NOT BE DELIVERED) IF A REFEREE

THINKS A WEAPON IS BEING USED IN A DANGEROUS FASHION. THE REFEREES

HAVE THE POWER TO BAN A WEAPON OR TO STOP COMBAT TO REMOVE

SOMEONE FROM PLAY.

EVERYONE TAKING PART IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY AND FOR

ENSURING THAT THEY ACT IN A MANNER THAT DOES NOT ENDANGER THE

SAFETY OF OTHERS.

THIS IS A LIVE ACTION ROLE-PLAYING GAME, AND MELEE AND UNARMED

COMBAT CAN AND WILL TAKE PLACE. IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF HOW LARP

COMBAT WORKS SPEAK TO A REFEREE .

AT NO TIME MUST A PLAYER STRIKE, KICK, TRIP, CHOKE,

FORCIBLY RESTRAIN, THROW OR USE ANY MARTIAL ART

ON ANY ANOTHER PLAYER

ANYONE WHO BREAKS THIS RULE WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE EVENT.

THE MAIN WEAPON PHYS REP FOR THE GAME IS THE BB GUN, OR OTHER

NON-LARP SAFE OBJECT. THESE COME IN MANY SHAPES, SIZES AND ARE

MADE FROM DIFFERENT MATERIALS (PLASTIC OR METAL). IT IS IMPORTANT

TO UNDERSTAND THAT AT NO TIME SHOULD BB’S BE BROUGHT ONTO SITE. IT

IS ALSO IMPORTANT THAT NO NON LARP SAFE WEAPON IS USED IN MELEE

COMBAT. BEFORE THE GAME STARTS, ALL WEAPONS MUST BE INSPECTED BY

A REFEREE.

MISSILE WEAPONS ARE PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS IF UNSAFE; THEREFORE IT

IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT USE ARROWS AND BOLTS UNLESS YOU

ARE SURE THAT THEY WERE MADE SAFELY. ARROWS SHOULD BE

CONSTRUCTED FROM BLUNTS IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE TIP WILL NOT COME

THROUGH THE FOAM HEAD DURING USE. THE ARROW HEAD SHOULD BE

LARGER THAN AN EYE SOCKET.

IF A PLAYER SUSTAINS A REAL INJURY, PLAY SHOULD CEASE IMMEDIATELY SO

THAT APPROPRIATE MEASURES MAY BE TAKEN – USE A CALL OF “MAN

DOWN”

HEAD HITS

FOR SAFETY REASONS, NO ONE SHOULD EVER AIM TO HIT SOMEONE ELSE

ON THE HEAD. IF THROUGH ILL FORTUNE SOMEONE RECEIVES AN IN-

CHARACTER HEAD HIT THEY SHOULD ROLE-PLAY IT, AFTER IT HAS BEEN

CONFIRMED THAT THE PLAYER IS UNINJURED.

GAME CALLS

TIME FREEZE

STOP WHERE YOU ARE, CLOSE YOUR EYES AND HUM QUIETLY UNTIL "TIME IN"

IS CALLED. DON'T CHAT OUT-OF-CHARACTER AND PAY NO ATTENTION TO

ANYTHING YOU HEAR DURING THIS TIME. THIS CALL IS USED TO ENABLE

REFEREES AND CREW TO SET UP EFFECTS, MOVE OBJECTS BRIEF INDIVIDUAL’S

ETC. AS FAR AS THE CHARACTERS ARE CONCERNED, THERE IS NO GAP IN

TIME.

TIME OUT

STOP ANY IN-CHARACTER ACTIONS, BUT REMEMBER WHERE YOU WERE AND

WHAT YOU WERE DOING, SO THAT YOU CAN PICK THE ACTION UP AGAIN

LATER WHEN "TIME IN" IS CALLED. THIS CALL WILL BE MADE TO STOP PLAY IN

THE CASE OF SUSPECTED GENUINE INJURY. BE AWARE THAT IMPORTANT

INSTRUCTIONS MAY BE ISSUED TO PLAYERS IN THIS TIME.

TIME IN

PICK UP THE ACTION FROM WHERE YOU STOPPED WHEN "TIME OUT" OR

"TIME FREEZE" WAS CALLED.

MAN DOWN

SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS MUST NOT BE USED IN

CHARACTER

IC / OOC

WOUNDS RECEIVED IN-CHARACTER SHOULD BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND

REACTED TO: E.G. WRITHING IN AGONY AND/OR CRYING OUT IN PAIN.

IF A SITUATION HAS DEVELOPED WHICH HAS A STRONG ATMOSPHERE (E.G.

FEAR OF A MONSTER, TENSE ANTICIPATION OR OTHER FOCUSED ROLE-

PLAYING) DO NOT DELIBERATELY ATTEMPT TO BREAK THE MOOD.

STAY IN-CHARACTER BETWEEN ADVENTURE ENCOUNTERS UNLESS A "TIME-

OUT" HAS BEEN CALLED. THESE PERIODS OF TIME ARE EXCELLENT FOR

DEVELOPING IN-CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS AND FINDING OUT MORE

ABOUT YOUR ENVIRONMENT AND COMPANIONS.

REMEMBER THAT SOME WOODLAND USED FOR ADVENTURING MAY HAVE

RULES REGARDING SMOKING. PLEASE BE DILIGENT AND ENSURE ANY

CIGARETTES ARE OUT TO AVOID FIRES.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE PROPS USED DURING AN ADVENTURE ARE

SOMEBODY'S PROPERTY. WHILE SOME PROPS MAY BE MADE TO BE

DESTRUCTIBLE, ALWAYS CHECK WITH A REFEREE BEFORE TAKING ANY

ACTION THAT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO A PROP.

NEVER DROP LITTER DURING AN ADVENTURE, THIS INCLUDES

BIODEGRADABLE ITEMS SUCH AS FOOD.

AFTER AN EVENT, MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE THE LOCATION IN THE SAME, OR

BETTER, CONDITION THAN YOU FOUND IT. DO NOT LEAVE CRAP AROUND. IT

IS NOT THE JOB OF THE CREW TO CLEAN UP AFTER YOU.


IN CHARACTER (IC) DEFINITION

WHEN YOU ARE ROLEPLAYING A CHARACTER AND ACTIVELY

PARTICIPATING AS A PLAYER CHARACTER OR NONE PLAYER CHARACTER IN

AN IN CHARACTER AREA.

OUT OF CHARACTER (OOC)

DEFINITION

WHEN YOU ARE NOT ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN THE GAME AS A PLAYER

CHARACTER OR NONE PLAYER CHARACTER IN AN AREA OF THE GAME THAT

HAS BEEN DESIGNATED FOR IC ACTIVITIES.

ALL PLAYERS ARE ASSUMED TO BE IC AT ALL TIMES IN A IC CHARACTER

AREA.

GOING OUT OF OOC

IF AS A PLAYER YOU NEED TO GO OUT OOC FOR A MEDICAL REASON THEN

YOU NEED TO INFORM AN EVENT ORGANISER, OR MEMBER OF THE

COMMITTEE BEFORE YOU DO THIS, OR HAVE SOMEBODY PERFORM THIS FOR

YOU. YOU MUST REMOVE YOURSELF TO AN OOC OF AREA AND CANNOT

PARTICIPATE IN THE GAME UNTIL YOU ARE BOTH MEDICALLY ABLE AND HAVE

INFORMED A REFEREE THAT YOU WISH TO RE-JOIN THE GAME. YOU WILL

THEN BE ALLOWED TO RE-JOIN THE GAME BY EVENT ORGANISERS AT AN

APPROPRIATE POINT.

IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE FROM ANOTHER PLAYER FOR MEDICAL REASONS

THAT PLAYER ALSO NEEDS TO INFORM AN EVENT ORGANISER OR MEMBER

OR THE COMMITTEE. WHEN YOU WISH TO RE-JOIN TO THE GAME YOU MUST

INFORM A REFEREE THAT YOU WISH TO RE-JOIN THE GAME. YOU WILL THEN

BE ALLOWED TO RE-JOIN THE GAME BY EVENT ORGANISERS AT AN

APPROPRIATE POINT.

IF AS A PLAYER YOU NEED TO GO OOC FOR A NONE MEDICAL REASON

THEN YOU NEED TO INFORM AN EVENT ORGANISER, WHO WILL ALLOW YOU

TO GO OOC AT AN APPROPRIATE POINT. FROM THIS POINT YOU ARE

UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE GAME AND SHOULD REMOVE YOURSELF

FROM IN GAME AREAS. YOU MAY RE-JOIN THE GAME AFTER YOU HAVE

INFORMED AN EVENT ORGANISER THAT YOU WISH TO RE-JOIN THE GAME.

YOU WILL BE THEN ALLOWED TO JOIN THE GAME BY EVENT ORGANISERS AT

AN APPROPRIATE POINT.

IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ROLEPLAY CERTAIN ACTIVITIES BECAUSE OF MEDICAL

ISSUES YOU SHOULD INFORM THE EVENT ORGANISERS AT THE START OF THE

EVENT. FAILURE TO DO SO, MAY CAUSE YOU TO BE REMOVED FROM THE

GAME.

IF YOU DEVELOP OOC MEDICAL ISSUES DURING AN IC ACTION, YOU

SHOULD BE AWARE THAT YOUR CHARACTER MAY STILL SUFFER THE

CONSEQUENCES OF THIS ACTION, EVEN IF YOU ARE OOC, AND NOT

PHYSICALLY PRESENT. IT IS PREFERABLE THAT YOU REQUEST TO GO OOC

*BEFORE* YOU ATTEMPT A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IC ACTION IF YOU

FEEL THERE IS A CHANCE YOU MAY HAVE ISSUES BEFORE COMPLETING THE

ACTION

WILL DO THE FOLLOWING.

GIVE AN INFORMAL WARNING, AND LEAVE THE MATTER

THERE.

GO STRAIGHT TO STEP 2, 3 OR 4. IF THE OFFENCE

WARRANTS IT.

APPLY ANY NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CHARACTER

TO UNDO THE CHEATING THAT HAS TAKEN PLAY.

APPLY AN IC PENALTY, DEDUCTION OF TEMPORARY

FEATS, VITALITY ETC.

THE REF SHOULD THEN INFORM THE OTHER REFS AND EVENT ORGANIZERS AT

THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY.

STEP 2 - FORMAL WARNING

THIS TAKES PLACE EITHER DUE TO GROSS CHEATING OR AFTER AN INFORMAL

WARNING HAS BEEN GIVEN. ONCE AGAIN THE REF INFORMS THE PLAYER

THAT AN INFRACTION IN PLAY HAS TAKEN PLACE, THE PLAYER THEN GETS

THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE ANY REASONS FOR THEIR ACTIONS. IF THE REF

DOES NOT BELIEVE THE EXCUSE IS REASONABLE OR THEY ARE RECEIVING

PORKY PIES FROM THE PLAYERS(S) THE REF WILL DO THE FOLLOWING :

GIVE THE PLAYER A FORMAL WARNING.

GO STRAIGHT TO STEP 3 OR 4, IF THE OFFENCE WARRANTS

IT.






THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY, IN ADDITION THE COMMITTEE IS NOTIFIED AFTER THE

EVENT.

STEP 3 – FINAL WARNING

IF A PLAYER HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACT OF GROSS CHEATING OR IF THIS

IS THE THIRD TIME THEY HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP ON A RULES INFRACTION

DURING THE EVENT. ONCE AGAIN REF HAS A CHAT, IF THE PLAYER’S

REASONS FOR THEIR ACTIONS ARE NOT REASONABLE. THE REF WILL DO THE

FOLLOWING.

GIVE THE PLAYER A FINAL WARNING AND WARN THEM

THAT ANY MORE INCIDENCES WILL RESULT THEM IN HAVING

THEIR CHARACTER REMOVED FROM PLAY.

GO STRAIGHT TO STEP 4, IF THE OFFENCE WARRANTS IT.






THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY, IN ADDITION THE COMMITTEE IS NOTIFIED

IMMEDIATELY.

STEP 4 –EXCLUSION FROM PLAYING

THE PLAYER’S CHARACTER IS REMOVED QUICKLY AND QUIETLY FROM PLAY,

THE PLAYER’S FATE IS HANDED OVER TO THE COMMITTEE. THEY DON’T GET

TO PLAY AGAIN DURING THE EVENT, BUT CAN HELP CREW IF ALLOWED.


PUBLIC LOCATIONS

ALTHOUGH MANY OF THE SITES WE USE ARE CLOSED (I.E. NOT USUALLY

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC) IF A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IS ENCOUNTERED DURING

A MISSION, TREAT THEM WITH COURTESY. IF THEIR PATH TAKES THEM

THROUGH AN ENCOUNTER, STOP THE ACTION WITH A "TIME OUT" TO ALLOW

THEM TO PASS. YOU WILL NOT BE PENALISED FOR DROPPING OUT OF

CHARACTER TO TALK WITH THE PUBLIC.

BE AWARE THAT THE WEAPONRY CARRIED MAY CAUSE ALARM TO THE

PUBLIC, ESPECIALLY WITH THE CURRENT TERROR ALERT. THE LOCAL POLICE

WILL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE TYPE OF GAME THAT IS BEING RUN AND

MAY DROP IN. A ‘TIME OUT’ WILL BE CALLED UNTIL THEY LEAVE.

RESPECT PRIVATE BOUNDARIES. NEVER STRAY INTO AN AREA WHERE YOU

ARE NOT PERMITTED TO GO AND NEVER ENGAGE IN ANY ACTIVITY THAT IS

LIKELY TO DAMAGE THE ADVENTURE SITE (E.G. CLIMBING OVER STONE

WALLS OR DAMAGING TREES).

CONSISTENCY

PLAYERS MUST OBEY ALL RULES OF THE GAME AND ALSO RESPECT THE

AUTHORITY OF THE REFEREES, OBEYING THEIR INSTRUCTIONS PROMPTLY AND

WITHOUT ARGUMENT. THERE MAY BE MORE TO THE SITUATION THAN YOU

ARE AWARE OF.

NEVER ARGUE WITH A REFEREE OR CREW MEMBER ABOUT AN ASPECT OF THE

RULES DURING THE GAME, SAVE ANY GRIEVANCE UNTIL AFTER THE MISSION OR

TAKE IT UP WITH THE ORGANISER AWAY FROM THE ACTION.

UNSAFE PLAY FOR CREW OR PLAYERS

PLAY THAT :

COULD ACTUALLY CAUSE PHYSICAL HARM TO A PLAYER.

PULLING OUT YOUR MARTIAL ARTS MOVES ON THE CREW

FOR INSTANCE…

CONTAINS OOC REMARKS THAT ARE EITHER INSULTING

OR UPSETTING TO EITHER PLAYERS OR CREW.

CONTAINS IC REMARKS THAT ARE DELIBERATELY INTENDED

TO CAUSE OOC UPSET.

WILL GO THROUGH THE INFORMAL, FORMAL THEN EXCLUSION STAGES

ABOVE.

THERE IS NO SET PROCEDURE HERE. MOST SHOULD BE COVERED BY AN

INFORMAL WARNING. ANY FORMAL WARNING IS BEING DRAGGED

STRAIGHT TO THE COMMITTEE.

SYSTEM REFEREES

SYSTEM REFEREES ARE STILL ABLE TO MONITOR CHEATING, RULES ABUSES,

CALL WEAPON JAMS ETC. WHILE PLAYING THEIR CHARACTERS, AND WILL

STEP IN WHERE NECESSARY


Guide to Card Based Skills

THIS GUIDE SETS OUT HOW THE RUNNING OF CARD BASED PROBLEMS IS TO

BE DONE IN ORDER TO FIT IN WITH THE RULES AS WRITTEN BY THE SYSTEM

REFS. THE INTENTION IS TO MAXIMISE THE ENJOYMENT AND FURTHER THE

STORY OF THE GAME BEING RUN. THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT IS THAT THIS

WHOLE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED AROUND YOU KNOWING AHEAD OF TIME

WHAT CARDS YOU ARE GOING TO USE. NOT MAKING IT UP ON THE SPOT

WHEN THE PLAYERS ASK.

WHY HAVE CARD PROBLEMS?

THEY ARE DESIGNED TO HELP PLAYERS WHO ARE NOT OOC AS

KNOWLEDGEABLE IN THEIR AREA AS THEIR CHARACTERS BUT ALSO ALLOW

REFS NOT TO BE BULLIED BY PLAYERS WHO KNOW MORE THAN THEM.

HOWEVER THEY WORK BEST AS PART OF THE STORY.

HOW MANY CARDS ARE

APPROPRIATE?

A SIMPLE GUIDE IS SHOWN BELOW. HUMAN BASED IS STANDARD MODERN

DAY TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO MOST COMPANIES OR GOVERNMENT

DEPARTMENTS. JUST BEYOND HUMAN IS BOTH ALIEN TECHNOLOGY SUCH AS

GOA’ULD OR OTHER ALIEN CULTURES AND ALSO HUMAN TECHNOLOGY

THAT IS CUTTING EDGE SUCH AS WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO THE SEF. FAR

BEYOND HUMAN IS ANALOGOUS TO ANCIENT OR KEB BASED TECHNOLOGY

OR THAT IS SO FOREIGN TO EARTH THINKING THAT IT’S HARD TO

COMPREHEND.

REMEMBER AS WELL THAT YOU CAN COMBINE PROBLEM CARDS TYPES. SO

SOMETHING COULD HAVE 4 HACKING CARDS WITH 3 ELECTRICAL

ENGINEERING AND 2 COMMUNICATIONS CARDS TO GET TO A SINGLE END

POINT.

THIS SHOULD LEAD TO TWO STARTING CHARACTERS WORKING TOGETHER

BEING ABLE TO SOLVE MOST HUMAN AND JUST BEYOND HUMAN PROBLEMS.

WHICH GIVEN THE PCS ARE MEANT TO BE SOME OF THE BEST IN THEIR FIELDS

IS INTENTIONAL.

WHICH CARDS SHOULD BE USED?

THE EASY ANSWER IS WHICH EVER ONES MAKE SENSE AS PART OF THE STORY.

WORK OUT AHEAD OF TIME WHAT IS IT THE PLAYERS ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE

AND WHICH PROBLEM CARDS WORK TOGETHER GIVEN THE SITUATION.

FOR EXAMPLE IF THE PLAYER IS TRYING TO OPEN A HIGH SECURITY VAULT THE

FOLLOWING CARDS WOULD HELP TELL THE STORY OF WHAT IS NEEDED TO

DO SO.

NUMERIC KEYPAD (ONCE SOLVED THIS POWERS UP THE RETINAL

SCANNER)

RETINAL SCAN NEEDED (THEREBY REVEALING THE LOCK)

COMPLICATED LOCK

ONE TUMBLER TOO MANY (THE LOCK WAS MORE COMPLICATED

THAT EXPECTED)

AS MENTIONED EARLIER THE NUMBER OF PROBLEM CARDS SETS THE

DIFFICULTY AND THE SOLUTION CARDS ARE DESIGNED WITH PROBABILITIES

OF SUCCESS IN MIND. ONE ASSUMPTION IN THIS IS THAT PROBLEMS ARE

NOT REUSED. REUSING OF PROBLEM CARDS MAY MAKE A PROBLEM

IMPOSSIBLE TO SOLVE IF DONE MORE THAN ONCE, E.G. THERE ARE ONLY

TWO CARDS CAPABLE OF DEFEATING 7 SECONDS LEFT AS AN EXPLOSIVES

PROBLEM. PUTTING IT IN TWICE WILL PROBABLY LEAD TO A FAILURE THREE IS

ALMOST CERTAIN FAILURE AS THE CARDS HAVE OTHER USES TOO.

WHEN SHOULD THE CARDS BE LAID

OUT?

BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS STARTED. THIS IS BECAUSE THE PRACTICED… FEATS

REQUIRE A PLAYER TO USE THE FEAT BEFORE STARTING THE PROBLEM. AS

SUCH PLAYERS NEED TO KNOW THE DIFFICULTY OF THE PROBLEM TO MAKE

AN INFORMED DECISION. ADDITIONALLY IF THE PROBLEM IS MADE UP OF

MULTIPLE SKILLS THEY SHOULD BE INFORMED OF THIS TOO.

HOW MANY CAN WORK ON A

PROBLEM?

EACH SKILL WITHIN A PROBLEM CAN HAVE UP TO TWO PEOPLE WORKING

ON THAT DISCIPLINE. IF A PROBLEM INVOLVES MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES THEN

EACH DISCIPLINE CAN HAVE UP TO TWO PEOPLE. SO A 3

COMMUNICATIONS 2 HACKING PROBLEM COULD HAVE UP TO 4 PEOPLE.

IF GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM THERE IS INSUFFICIENT SPACE FOR

PEOPLE TO PHYSICALLY GET TO THE PROBLEM THEN THIS NUMBER MAY BE

REDUCED.

5 EXTREME HARD

6 EXTREME


WHO COUNTS AS WORKING ON A

PROBLEM?

ANYONE WHO HAS PLAYED A SOLUTION CARD OR HAS USED A

PRACTICED… FEAT COUNTS AS WORKING ON THE PROBLEM. THE ONE

EXCEPTION TO THIS IS A PERSON USING THE TECHNICAL MENTOR PERK. THIS

PERSON IS ABLE TO SOLVE A SINGLE PROBLEM WITHOUT COUNTING AS ONE

OF THE TWO PEOPLE WORKING ON IT. THIS ONLY WORKS IF THERE ARE

ALREADY TWO PEOPLE WORKING ON A PROBLEM, IF THERE IS ONLY ONE

PERSON CURRENTLY THEN THE MENTOR BECOMES A FULL PARTICIPANT.

HOW MANY PROBLEMS CAN ONE

PERSON WORK ON?

PROVIDED THEY ARE WORKING IN SERIES A PERSON CAN WORK ON MORE

THAN ONE PROBLEM HOWEVER THEY WOULD HAVE TO SWITCH AND

CHANGE BETWEEN PROBLEMS. THE USE OF ANY OF THE …AMBIDEXTERITY

FEATS ALLOWS THEM TO WORK ON TWO PROBLEMS IN PARALLEL ONE WITH

EACH HAND.

WHAT IF THEY PLAY MULTIPLE

CARDS?

EACH SOLUTION CARD HAS A TIME ON IT. IF THEY PLAYER WISHES TO SOLVE

IT QUICKER THEN THEY MAY USE ADDITIONAL CARDS. IF THE CARDS PLAYED

HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME THE TIME REQUIRED IS REDUCED BY 50%.

IF THE TIME ON THE ADDITIONAL CARD IS LONGER THEN IT REDUCES THE TIME

FOR THE FIRST CARD BY 25%. IF THE ADDITIONAL CARD PLAYED HAS A

SHORTED TIME THEN THIS BECOMES THE PRIMARY CARD AND IS REDUCED BY

25% AS THE FIRST CARD IS SLOWER. ANY FURTHER CARDS HAVE SIMILAR

EFFECTS BUT WORK ON THE NEW TIME AS A BASIS SUCH THAT YOU CAN

NEVER REDUCE THE TIME TO ZERO. TIME IS COUNTED FROM WHEN THE

CARD IS PLAYED. THE ONUS IN THIS SITUATION IS FOR THE PLAYERS TO DO

THE MATHEMATICS THE REF HAS ENOUGH TO DO.

E.G. A MECHANICAL ENGINEERING CARD OF “FUBAR” NEEDS TO BE

SOLVED. THE INITIAL CARD PLAYED IS “JACK OF ALL TRADES” WITH A

SOLUTION TIME OF 600 SECONDS. THE SECOND PERSON ON THE PROBLEM

PLAYS “PORTABLE GENERATOR” WITH A SOLUTION TIME OF 120 SECONDS,

SO NOW THE TIME TO SOLVE THIS HAS REDUCED FROM 600 SECONDS TO 90

SECONDS (25% OF 120 IS 30). NOW IF A TECHNICAL MENTOR THEN CAME

ALONG AND ALSO PLAYED A “GOOD LUCK” CARD WITH A SOLUTION TIME

OF 30 SECONDS THE TIME WOULD REDUCE TO 17 SECONDS (25% OF 30 IS

7 FOR 23 SECONDS. 25% OF 23 IS 6 FOR 17 SECONDS TOTAL). OF

COURSE IF THE TEAM WERE LESS THAN 20 SECONDS TO COMPLETION THERE

WOULD BE LITTLE POINT THE MENTOR HELPING
