Serenity RPG...adventures in furniture shopping
Monday, June 25, 2007

This last session was a whole lot of nothing going on mostly, but because I really like my character, I'm gonna tell you what she did. One of the players is my hubby, and he's playing a non-fightin' type, Sylas, who's greedy and has friends in low places. He decides to get things interesting in the game by buying a poker table for our ship. He gets the table but no seats, so the next time we get stuck on a world because our pilot is recovering from "food poisoning" he sends me out to buy things for his table, like furniture polish, paint and barstools.

The general store had furniture polish, but no barstools. When Goose asked where she might locate barstools, the merchant of the store says, ..."a bar?"

She obviously meant barstools for sale, but decides to see if the town saloon would have extras they were willing to part with.

Goose walks in with the list, intending to bargain or some such, but I guess female com'ny's in short supply because the patrons start getting fresh...in broad daylight! And I have clearly described my character as ugly, like a younger version of the old lady that shot Mal in the pilot episode. But the GM doesn't make the distinction, and being the brawling type that I am I knee the guy blocking my way to the door. That doesn't do enough damage to put him down though since, according to our GM, the groin doesn't get the +4 damage modifier listed in the book as a vital area. I argue, but no leeway, I have to hit this guy for 3 rounds to put him on the floor.

Standing with one foot on his chest Goose shouts "NEXT!", but nobody's willing. So I tell our GM that I grab the nearest barstool and walk out. He says "They don't have any barstools," it's one of those old timey saloons where they stand at the bar. So I say, "I grab a chair and walk out" just hoping to get something for my trouble. He tells me I'd have to approach folks sitting in the chairs to get one, and not wanting to endanger myself further as I am alone, I walk out empty handed.

Goose gets back to the ship and tosses Sylas the furniture polish and my hubby, playing Sylas says "Where are my barstools?"

Needless to say, there was ROFL all around the table.

We're going to be robbing a statue of a ship out of the El Dorado Pleasure cruiser lobby next game session. Anybody with any ideas on how to accomplish this is welcome to post a reply.
