Version History From Revision 41 to Revision 42 

HYPNOSIS HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM PSYCHOLOGY – AND AND REMAINS IN ITS OWN SKILL – NOTE NOTE THIS DOESN’T REMOVE ANYTHING FROM PSYCHOLOGY VERSION 41 – 41 – IT IT JUST REMOVES ANY REFERENCE TO HYPNOTISM WHICH IS ITS OWN STAND -ALONE SKILL.

THAT WASN’T THERE PRE



ADDED UNDERSLUNG SHOTGUN INFORMATION TO SHOTGUN (STANDARD)



ADDED SIZE CLARIFICATION TO A BLOCK OF C4



ADDED EXPLOSIVES SPECIALISM TO THE PDA POSSIBILITIES



CLARIFICATION OF WHEN AP’S TAKE EFFECT WHEN BOUGHT DURING DOWNTIMES.



NEW FEAT – “I – “IN HARM’S WAY” WHICH HAS THE SAME EFFECT AS “BULLET CATCHER” BUT WORKS ON OBJECTS INSTEAD OF PEOPLE – THIS THIS REMOVES THE LOOPHOLE THAT THE WORDING OF T HE BULLET CATCHER STATED “PEOPLE” BUT PEOPLE WERE BUYING IT TO USE ON OBJECTS … AND IT HAD BEEN UNOFFICIALLY ALLOWED BUT IT WASN’T IN THE RULES. ANYONE WITH BULLET CATCHER FEATS WHO WISH TO CHANGE THEM TO I N HARM’S WAY FEATS MAY DO AT THE START OF THE NEXT EVENT THEY ATTEND (OR BEFORE) BY SPEAKING TO THE PLOT CO-ORDINATOR WHO WILL AMEND ON THE CHARACTER CHARACTER.





NOTED THAT ANY INCIDENCES OF OVERDOSES NEED TO BE LISTED ON THE CHARACTER SHEET FOR HANDING IN . TRITONIN RULES : WHEN TAKEN BY EITHER A JAFFA OR A HUMAN , THIS DRUG WILL EVENTUALLY REPLACE THE IMMUNE SYSTEM OF THE USER , MAKING THE PERSON TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THE DRUG - IN A JAFFA IT HAS THE ADDITIONAL EFFECT OF REMOVING THE NEED TO HAVE A LIVING SYMBIOTE. THE JAFFA FEEL PHYSICALLY WEAKER THAN BEFORE AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY IT 'S A BIG CHANGE FOR THEM. ANY JAFFA PC’S STARTING PLAY ON TRITONIN DOES NOT GAIN T HE NORMAL FREE NATURAL I MMUNITY . JAFFA MUST SLEEP AS A NORMAL HUMAN DOES THEY CAN NO LONGER GAIN REST BY MEDITATION TRITONIN GIVEN TO A HUMAN WILL INITIALLY HAVE NO VISIBLE EFFECT , HOWEVER IT WILL SLOWLY REPLACE THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM. WHEN TAKEN THEY WILL FEEL STRONGER AND HEALTHIER HEALING MINOR CUTS AT AN I NCREASED RATE, OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW HOURS TO DAYS THE TRITONIN WILL CURE THE RECIPIENT OF MOST DISEASES . THERE IS A PRICE TO PAY HOWEVER, AS THERE IS A HI GH CHANGE THAT WITH EACH EACH DOSE , THE DRUG REPLACES THE IMMUNE SYSTEM ENTIRELY AND THUS REQUIRES DAILY DOSES TO HAVE ANY I MMUNE SYSTEM AT ALL. OVERDOSE – I – IF A MORE THAN ONE DOES OF TRITONIN IS TAKEN IN A DAY THE HEALING CAPABILITY OF THE T AKER IS INCREASED BY 50% FOR 1 HOUR THEN IT IS REDUCED BY 50% FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, ADDITIONAL DOSES I NCREASE THE HEALING CAPACITY FURTHER (50%, 100%, 200%, 300%, 400%) FOR ONE HOUR, BUT ALSO I NCREASES THE RECOVERY TIME (24 HOURS, 48 HOURS, 96 HOURS, 192 HOURS) FROM THE END OF THE EFFECT .





THE PAINKILLER AP HAS BEEN AMENDED DUE TO POSSIBLE ABUSE . IT NOW STATES : “WHEN TAKING PAINKILLERS, YOU CAN TAKE TWICE THE AMOUNT BEFORE YOU OVERDOSE" RATHER THAN ITS ORIGINAL EFFECT WHICH COULD BASICALLY ALLOW SOMEONE TO GO FROM 0 BODY TO FULL BODY IN A PACK OF PARACETAMOL. NEW CHARACTERS - IF A NEW PRIMARY CHARACTER IS CREATED BETWEEN EVENTS FOR AN EXISTING PLAYER - THEN THEY ARE ABLE TO HAVE TRAINING BETWEEN EVENTS AS LONG AS THE TRAINING IS BEING TAUGHT BY A PC AND IS ON THE DREAMING SPIRES TRAINING LIST (NOTE - THE PLAYER WILL NOT ACTUALLY BE AT THE T RAINING COURSE, NOR WILL ENTER PLAY OR KNOW ABOUT THE SEF UNTIL THE NEXT EVENT, THIS IS JUST TO ENSURE THAT REPLACEMENT CHARACTERS ARE NOT PENALISED )

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 I S 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 .

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 T O 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 . ALIEN TECHNOLOGY CARDS COUNT TOWARDS THIS HAND LIMIT. 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 Y OU 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 T WO 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 TI ME 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/

SKILL GROUPINGS SOME SKILLS ARE GROUPED INTO SECTIONS – FOR EXAMPLE, ASTROPHYSICS, MATERIAL SCIENCE AND NUCLEAR PHYSICS ARE GROUPED INTO THE “PHYSICAL SCIENCES ” GROUP – IF YOU WISH TO LEARN ONE OF T HESE SKILLS, THEN THE FIRST SKILL TAKES A SET PERIOD OF TI ME, ANY SUBSEQUENT SKILL IN THAT AREA HAVE A REDUCED TRAINING COST .

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 T O 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 HOUR, 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 I N 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.

A FIREARM CAN BE USED INDEPENDENTLY IN EIT HER HAND.



BOTH FIREARMS CAN BE FIRED AT THE SAME TARGET IN SINGLE SHOT MODE AT THE SAME TIME. THIS CAUSES YOUR DAMAGE CALL OF T HE MOST DAMAGING FIREARM TO GO UP BY ONE

Damage & Medicine PLAYER CHARACTERS NORMALLY HAVE 6 HITS (ALTHOUGH THIS CAN BE INCREASED BY CERTAIN SKILLS , AND DECREASED BY TRAUMA AND OTHER EXOTI C ISSUES); THIS REPRESENTS YOUR HEALTH AND ABILITY TO TAKE DAMAGE.

IF YOU ARE NOT ON FULL BODY, YOU ARE BATTERED AND BRUISED AND CUT, WITH THE LOWER DOWN THE SCALE THE MORE SERIOUS THE INJURY AND THE ROLEPLAYING YOU SHOULD DO. IF YOU ARE TREATED BY A DOCTOR IN A PROPERLY EQUIPPED MEDICAL BAY, YOUR HITS REGENERATE TWICE AS FAST . IF YOU WERE AT NEGATIVE HITS, AND WERE TREATED BY A DOCTOR WITH THE CONSULTANT FEAT IN A PROPERLY EQUIPPED MEDICAL BAY, YOUR HITS REGENERATE FOUR TIMES AS FAST. DAMAGE COMES OFF VITALITY FIRST (EACH POINT OF DAMAGE TAKES OFF ONE POINT OF VITALITY ), THEN OFF ARMOUR (IF WORN), THEN OFF BODY. DAMAGE CALLS OF "THROUGH " GO THROUGH VITALITY AND GO STRAIGHT TO ARMOUR , THEN TO BODY. NO MATTER WHAT DAMAGE YOU HAVE TAKEN , YOU ALWAYS STAR T AN EVENT WITH FULL BODY AND FULL VITALITY UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN YOUR PRE-EVENT DOWNTIME, OR YOU HAVE A WOUND CARD WHOSE EFFECTS ARE PERSISTING.

Development

EACH DOWNTIME YOU CAN CHOOSE TO USE YOUR BACKGROUND FEAT: DREAMING SPIRES, I NSIDER I NFORMATION 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 . Y OUR RESEARCH DIRECTLY I NFLUENCES 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 I N YOUR DOWNTIME, OR TEN ITEMS IN YOUR DOWNTIME - BUT IF Y OU RESEARCH JUST ONE ITEM YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO GET A LOT OF USEFUL INFORMATION OUT OF IT

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


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 T HAT 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 I TS 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.

TIME FREEZE

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

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 I NDIVIDUAL’S ETC. AS FAR AS T HE CHARACTERS ARE CONCERNED, THERE IS NO GAP IN TIME.

STARGATE SG-1 AND ITS CHARACTERS ARE THE PROPERTY OF STARGATE PRODUCTIONS , SCI FI CHANNEL, SHOWTIME/VIACOM , MGM/UA, DOUBLE SECRET PRODUCTIONS , AND GECKO PRODUCTIONS .

SAFETY

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 I N" 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 SAFETY IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE. IT IS I MPORTANT 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 I S IMPORTANT THAT ALL BLOWS SHOULD BE PULLED (I.E. THE FULL STRENGTH OF T HE BLOW SHOULD NOT BE DELIVERED) IF A REFEREE THINKS A WEAPON IS BEING USED IN A DANGEROUS FASHION. THE REFEREES

PICK UP THE ACTION FR OM WHERE YOU STOPPED WHEN "TIME OUT" OR "TIME FREEZE" WAS CALLED .

MAN DOWN SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS MUST NOT BE USED IN CHARACTER

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

IC / OOC

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). I T 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 I N 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 T HE 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 I NJURY, PLAY SHOULD CEASE IMMEDIATELY SO THAT APPROPRIATE MEASURES MAY BE TAKEN – USE A CALL OF “MAN DOWN” VERSION 6.0 (REVISION 42) : SEPTEMBER 2013

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 "TIMEOUT" 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 I NCLUDES 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 .

PUBLIC LOCATIONS

UNSAFE PLAY FOR CREW OR PLAYERS

ALTHOUGH MANY OF THE SITES WE USE ARE CLOSED (I.E. NOT USUALLY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ) IF A MEMBER OF T HE 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.

PLAY THAT : 

PULLING OUT YOUR MARTIAL ARTS MOVES ON THE CREW FOR INSTANCE… 

BE AWARE THAT THE WEAPONRY CARRIED MAY CAUSE ALARM TO THE PUBLIC, ESPECIALLY WITH THE CURRENT TERROR ALERT . THE LOCAL POLICE

COULD ACTUALLY CAUSE PHYSICAL HARM TO A PLAYER .



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 .

Appendix 1 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

WHICH CARDS SHOULD BE USED?

WHOLE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED AROUND YOU KNOWING AHEAD OF TIME

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.

WHAT CARDS YOU ARE GOING TO USE.

NOT MAKING IT UP ON THE SPOT

WHEN THE PLAYERS ASK.

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

WHY HAVE CARD PROBLEMS?

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

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 .



RETINAL SCAN NEEDED (THEREBY REVEALING THE LOCK)



COMPLICATED LOCK



HOW MANY CARDS ARE APPROPRIATE?

NUMERIC KEYPAD (ONCE SOLVED THIS POWERS UP THE RETINAL SCANNER )

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 . NOT REUSED.

ONE ASSUMPTION IN THIS IS THAT PROBLEMS ARE

REUSING OF PROBLEM CARDS MAY MAKE A PROBLEM

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

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

DAY TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO MOST COMPANIES OR GOVERNMENT

TWO CARDS CAPABLE OF D EFEATING 7 SECONDS LEFT AS AN EXPLOSIVES

DEPARTMENTS. JUST BEYOND HUMAN IS BOTH

PROBLEM.

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 . NO OF CARDS

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 THI S TOO.

EXTREME

REMEMBER AS WELL THAT YOU CAN COMBINE PROBLEM CARDS TYPES . SO SOMETHING COULD HAVE 4 COMPUTING CARDS WITH 3 ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND 2 COMMUNICATIONS CARDS TO GET TO A SINGLE END POINT. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO T WO 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 T HEIR FIELDS IS INTENTIONAL.

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 I NVOLVES MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES THEN EACH DISCIPLINE CAN HAVE UP TO TWO PEOPLE . SO A 3 COMMUNICATIONS 2 COMPUTING PROBLEM COULD HAVE UP TO 4 PEOPLE . IF GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM THERE IS I NSUFFICIENT SPACE FOR PEOPLE TO PHYSICALLY GET TO THE PROBLEM THEN THIS NUMBER MAY BE REDUCED .


PAGE 66 OF 69

WHO COUNTS AS WORKING ON A PROBLEM?

WHAT IF THEY PLAY MULTIPLE CARDS?

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

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 TI ME 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

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

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

PERSON CURRENTLY THEN THE MENTOR BECOMES A FULL PARTICIPANT .

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

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

EFFECTS BUT WORK ON THE NEW TI ME AS A BASIS SUCH THAT YOU CAN NEVER REDUCE THE TIME TO ZERO.

TIME IS COUNTED FROM WHEN THE THE ONUS IN THIS SITUATION IS FOR THE PLAYERS TO DO THE MATHEMATICS THE REF HAS ENOUGH TO DO. CARD IS PLAYED.

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 …A MBIDEXTERITY FEATS ALLOWS THEM TO WORK ON TWO PROBLEMS IN PARALLEL ONE WITH EACH HAND.

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 T ECHNICAL 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 T HAN 20 SECONDS TO COMPLETION THERE WOULD BE LITTLE POINT THE MENTOR HELPING
