Roleplaying Campaign Pt1

Hey everybody. I thought I would start a new roleplaying session to do alongside the other one I’m in. I’m sort of basing this on a previous thread, but I’m not going to stop posting like the other guy. Any number of people who want to can play.

Step 1: Make a character

Gender:
Age: (Divide by 3 to figure out how many attribute points you have)

Attributes:
Strength: (Your physical capabilities.-Moving things, hauling gear)
Agility: (Your speed and reflexes.-Movement speed, reacting)
Endurance: (Your ability to get through tough situations – Taking damage or carrying stuff over a distance)
Intelligence: (Your knowledge and mental capabilities.-Knowledge and thinking)
Charisma: (People skills.-Persuasion and trade)
Perception: (Your ability to sense things.-Scavenging and detecting)

Health Points (HP) – Strength + Endurance + 5
Attack (AT) – Agility + Perception
Knowledge (Kn) – Intelligence + Charisa

Abilities (Special Stuff you can do: Help in the beginning and in certain situations): Pick 2
Electronics(Plus 1 to intelligence; Can work with them or repair them)
Heavy Weapons(You can use heavy weapons better(machine guns or explosives) +1 to accuracy)
Light Weapons (You can use light weapons better (assault rifles or pistols) +1 to accuracy)
Armoring(You can repair or improve weapons; Plus 1 to intelligence)
Survival(You get a plus 1 to endurance and agility)
Searching(Find better stuff – subtract 10 MGRs off your total from below)
Trading(Get better deals for trades starting now – take 1 off of all below prices)
Medicine(You are able to perform more advanced medical procedures. Start with a medkit and it has 30 HPs of healing.)

Physical Description: Height, hair, colors, distinguishing features
Backstory: Give it some thought, as I will be drawing from it to create some parts of the campaign.

Step 2: Shopping

Everyone in the party has 90 MGRs (per person) with which to buy equipment. Feel free to bring in items from your backstory for free. You will be given 1 magazine for every weapon you buy, you may want to buy more ammunition.

Keep in mind that the more MGRs the party spends as a whole, the more stuff I will throw at you guys.

Most of the weapons are drawn from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Russian_weaponry#Rifles

Makarov(Damage: 1; Accuracy: 1):4 MGR
Tokarev(Damage: 1; Accuracy: 2):5 MGR
Colt Python(Damage: 3; Accuracy: 2): 8 MGR
APS(Damage: 2; Accuracy: 2):12 MGR

Duplet(Damage: 4; Accuracy: 2): 15 MGR
Automatic Shotgun(Damage: 6; Accuracy: 4):30 MGR
Saiga 12(Damage: 5; Accuracy: 5):35 MGR

M40(Damage: 7; Accuracy: 7):40 MGR
SVD(Damage: 8; Accuracy: 8):45 MGR

Bastard SMG(Damage: 3; Accuracy: 3):18 MGR
AK 47(Damage: 5; Accuracy: 4):25 MGR
AKS 74u(Damage: 4; Accuracy: 5):30 MGR
FN FAL(Damage: 5; Accuracy: 5):32 MGR
G36(Damage: 5; Accuracy: 6):35 MGR
VSV(Damage: 6; Accuracy: 6):40 MGR

RPK(Damage: 8; Accuracy: 5):50 MGR
(Scope costs 5MGR (Accuracy +1), Silencers are 5MGR)

Attacking - Once you say you are attacking a target (if using a gun, state how many times you are shooting it), it will be your AT + weapon's accuracy + random # 1-10(from random # generator). If that sum is larger than target's defenses, you hit and do damage. If not, you miss.

Ammo: We’ll just say you lose a certain amount depending on how long a battle lasts

9mm 10 round magazine(Makarov, Tokarev, APS):3MGR
.357 cal speedloader (Colt Python): 3MGR
5.45mm 30 round magazine(AKS 74u, VSV, Bastard SMG):4MGR
6 12 gauge buckshot shells(Duplet, Automatic Shotgun, Saiga 12):4MGR
7.62mm 30 round magazine (AK 47, FN FAL, G36, RPK): 5MGR
7.62mm 10 round magazine (M40, SVD): 6 MGR

Standard Clothing (can describe it however you want): 2 MGR
Leather Armor(Stab proof, not much else; 1 AP):15MGR
Armor Plate (Post Metro ballistic plating; 3 AP):30MGR
Ballistic Vest (Pre Metro ballistic vest; 5 AP):50MGR
Gasmask(Breathe that toxic atmo):10MGR
Filter(As long as you have these):3MGR
Medkit(Heal your buddy; contains 20 HPs of healing):10MGR
Knife(Damage: 2; Accuracy: 1):2MGR
Grenade(Damage: 6; Accuracy: 3):6MGR
C4(Damage: 12):25 MGR
Radio: 10 MGR
Tools: 5 MGR

AP – Armor Points; Come off when damaged before HP

Don’t worry too much about the details after this first part; I can handle them once we get rolling.

Once we get enough people, we’ll get started (can always add in more later on).

This is how I'll color it when I'm GMing
This is the general roleplaying, out of character color
This is how I’ll color it when I’m giving descriptions or having NPCs talk
Please use quotes when "You are talking."

Let’s have some fun roleplaying.

EDIT: Changed to add base to HP. Changed to cap MGRs. Re did numbers.

 

The divide by 3 is actually better than the previous one (that one had it divided by 4). And lagtagbag, I'm gonna edit the HP so its a base of 5 to start with, then you add on strength and endurance.

3 more people and we can get this game rolling.

Suggestions are always welcome.

 

Okay. You may have to edit your inventory then, lagtag. Changing it to a cap of 90 MGR per person. If you have extras, put them down in your post and other people can use them if necessary.

 

Lots of people have looked at this and only two have replied, so I think some might be being scared away by the large amount of numbers.
As such, I've gotten rid of the attacks and damages on weapons. Hopefully, more people will post now.

 

Could be. I'll leave em down for the day and see if anyone more posts, then put them back up if they don't.

I can promise I won't leave without warning.

Searching - For buying inventory, once you get the total MGRs you spent, subtract 10 from that. The idea of it is that you found some of your equipment before you came to the store.

 

Alright, the numbers are back up. Come on people, 3 more to start. Once we get started, I can do most of the number work so don't worry about that. Things can be flavored many ways, so the numbers won't be a limiting factor for the roleplaying aspect.
And if I do stop posting someone can take over GMing.
So no worries.

I am sorry to hear that aaron. You're really good at this, man.

 

Alright, lagtag, we're gonna get rolling. You are just getting back from a bit of "stalker" scavenging on the surface. That did not go well, however. Up to you what happens.
Novoslobodskaya. It was well known in its time, its primacy. A once beautiful station, filled with works of stained glass and mosiacs that gave the weary traveller a slight release from the misery of going through the Metro. But for Igor, as he came stumbling down the stairs from the surface, those pieces of "old world" charm were long gone. The glass is all shattered and melted down for other uses. The paint has been long covered up. It is a grimy place, covered with the dust and grime of decades without a cleaning.
Strings of lights project warmth weakly from the ceiling; they are turned low for now, made up for by red emergency lights. There is the general murmur of a station waking up for the day and the reasuring hum of the station's twin diesel generators.
There are the barricades in front of him, piles of sandbags and plates of scrap metal, at the bottom of the stairs from the surface. They are manned, thankfully, with search lights flaring and machine guns uncovered. Igor knows that there are hermetic gates further down, but this is the station's first line of defense. It's a little blinding to run into the lights, but Igor has bigger concerns behind him.
Igor runs down stairs, taking them one, two, three at a time. The creature that has been following him, stalking him, the stalker, for the past mile, roars, the sheer volume of which rattles his teeth.
From what he saw of it, it was red. Long in body, able to take multiple SVD rounds, and red. (Think this thing- http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=metro 2033#/d3jbyjy )
As Igor hurls himself over the barricade, the guards open fire, pouring it on. One of them, the sergeant of the watch, Ivan, grabs him by the collar and yells in his ear "What the hell is that?" He is 1 and a half meters tall, heavily built, wearing an old police gas mask and a pre metro ballistic vest; he carries a AK 47 in one hand. He was the one who let Igor out of the station a few hours before.

 

Quick Tutorial: Here's how we are going to handle combat.
Post (thanks for the idea lagtagbag) *Entering combat mode*, and then declare your target(s) (if there are multiple) and how many times you are shooting (if you want to use a whole magazine, you can just put *whole mag*).

So, for that last one, you could put:
*Entering combat mode*
big red monster
3 times

What I'll return is:
*Igor's attack*
*13 (svd accuracy + AT + scope bonus) + 6 (random#) = hit
*13 + 1 = miss
*13 + 5 = hit
And then flavor text.
Any suggestions?
Igor saw his first and third rounds impact the creature, tearing holes in its flesh. The second one richocheted off its hardened shell, whining as it whistled off to smack into the wall. The creature continued forward down the stairs, howling in rage. As it approached, the two men at the far end of the barricade turned and ran back towards the station in fear. That only left Igor, Ivan, and the three other Hansa guards.
Ivan yelled after them "You cowards!", and then turned in frustration and continued shooting the creature.
