I'm honoured *wipes away tear*.

I'm not sure what the DHC has in mind, they're using Earth technology to make more weapons to destroy the Autobots?
I think Soundwave needs to have a second agenda, he was always unfailingly faithful to Megatron, could perhaps the clone's new brain be G1 Megs?
I think it'd be good if Astrotrain joined the Autobots for a while, only to lead them into a trap, where something bad happens, like Prime being kidnapped. Meanwhile the humans are getting a bit narked at the TFs trashing the place, and make a few new uber-mechs. These will straight away attack the Autobots, whilst they have to make a push to save Prime from certain doom, of course, atfer Megatron has had a good gloat at him, thus putting the Autobots in a really hard position, leaderless they'll have to stick together and make important decisions.
And leave lots of clone bodies, incase they get very creamed.

Noise Maker: Great to have you onboard! I will aim to please with the upcoming posts.

Pasky: I actually like your ideas, but I won't say which ones I can use. You'll have to see that for yourself!



Man, I had a five day vacation, including the weekend and the holiday, and my 10yo and 7yo never did get to play Transformers. We tried 3 times, but two of the times we were thwarted by the 2yo boy and 5yo girl, and the 3rd just by too much commotion in the house to concentrate, which was also a problem the other two times. I did spend several hours on Saturday putting together this spreadsheet (viewable online through Google documents as an HTML page), which lists every Transformer, his armor class, capabilities and so on (no stats though, those are on the index cards).

I spent another couple hours on Sunday writing every special ability on the back of every index card for every Transformer. So, finally, all the gruntwork for the games are done - no guessing or fudging.

I have a idea how to Bring in the :MAX:/:MAX2: (Maxamals) &:PRED: (Predacons) Oh And Unicron. If you want to know'em
I'll PM You them.

TRANSFORMERS RP SESSION #15
So big, it comes in three parts!

This session log is far more picture-oriented than most; I dare say it may have more photographs than the mammoth RP Session #5.

Please comment on this format and tell me if more pictures or more writing is good. I also include more pictures of the girls and commentary on them.

Highlights
Some of these are spoilers so only scroll down if you don't mind that; all of these images are in the session post. Non-spoilers are first to give you a chance to decide.

Arcee brought a fricking bazooka... Strong Arm & Arcee


SkyBlast and Nightfire (G1 Skyfire knock-off)


The girls had a lot of fun. Maria, age 10, and Dulce, age 7.

WARNING: SPOILERS ARE NEXT


Nightfire (G1 Skyfire knock-off) transforms, lands, and fires in one round. Speed check and Skill check required.


The Devastator!


"Crush the strong; the weak will follow!"

[Noise Maker]

Yay! Update!

Hmm...what are the Decepticons planning? And I like the idea that the Mini cars have weak armor, so they mainly do spy missions.

My Perceptor sticks together fine-maybe you got a defective one?

Can't wait for the next installmeny!

TRANSFORMERS RP SESSION #16
The Decepticons Attack: Part One & Part Two!


We enjoyed this - every single Decepticon features in this story, if not in action, in planning.

I'm not getting many views to the photoblog; should I make a new thread for each session or is that not kosher? At any rate, I'm used to putting this much work into D&D games, and the players spend a week discussing it before the next weekend. Of course, we didn't have 3 sessions a week or so, either.

At any rate, any advice on how to make these better for you all is good. Too many pictures, not enough words, whatever; as I said after every D&D game "Tell me what was good and bad, especially what was bad, or I assure you, you may experience it again in a later session."

Highlights:

The Decepticons! All of them.


The Devastator and... wha? Yes. We have two sets.


Sweet Dulce. (My 7yo)


The base!

[DavidBeoulve]

Noise Maker, hopefully now you know more about what the Decepticons are up to.

We gots ourselves Leader Class (Movie Edition) Optimus Prime!

We both got lucky TF wise snagged myslef G1 deco Starscream and G1 Deco Jazz movie figures. On Topic: Sweet updates.

[KingScallop]

The Decepticons have a good plan going there.
I can hear their FWAHHAAAA's.

[Methusalen]

Read through the RP Sessions as soon as I noticed they'd been updated... It's been a great run so far, and I can't wait for the next 'chapter' to come!

-and also, I realize that I miss my old Role-playing group...

Keep up the good work!

[Noise Maker]

15 and 16 were great sessions! That was a very cool battle between the army and the Decepticons.

[DavidBeoulve]

Thank you, mklgf, PaskyTheLad, Methusalen and Noise Maker.

Believe it or not, it is your replies, however small or large, that make me feel that it is worthwhile to take pictures as we play, think about what angles are best, cull photos down to what's good and what's not - what tells the story - and then upload them and type in the story as it flows. So please keep your replies coming. I'll pay attention to comments here over random "page visit" counts any day.

Next Update?
We had a friend's daughter over for the weekend so the girls were all having fun with Marguerite, a friend of Dulce's. No Transformers this weekend, I'm afraid, but I'm sure they'll start Jonesing for their next fix soon.

My kids sometimes remind me of my various former D&D groups. "When's our next game?"
