Cepheus Deluxe: The Bounty Hunter - Session 8

Introduction Arman Doyle has been mortally wounded and left for dead in an empty warehouse by his target Cameron Lang and their associate, Claudio Reyes.  To play Cepheus Deluxe solo we're using  Mythic Game Master Emulator 2nd Edition . For the bounty hunting system we're using  Bounty Hunter Handbook . The Adventure Scene 10 | Krinnai, Siento 1   |  3023.05.08 | Cr44,558  | Chaos Factor: 8 The chaos factor has risen by 2 due to the extreme situation. We need to find out if the sound of gunfire has drawn the attention of the emergency services. It's the busy industrial district of Krinnai, and since the planet is a police state I'll say it's very likely the police will have been alerted and sent officers to investigate. Still, it could go either way here. The rules say if a mortally wounded character doesn't receive trauma surgery within an hour they die. Was Arman rescued and given surgery at the nearest hospital? (Very likely) 7: Exceptional yes! A passi...

The Adventure Scene 9 | Krinnai, Siento 1   |  3023.05.08 | Cr44,558  | Chaos Factor: 6 Arman climbs the first flight of stairs, revolver in hand. Is there anyone on the first floor? (50/50) 71: No. He keeps climbing. There are 8 (2D6) floors to the building plus the ground floor, so I'll ask the oracle for each floor until it says yes. Is there anyone on the second floor? (50/50) 37: Yes. Is it Cameron Lang (odd) or their friend (even)? 100: The friend. It's pretty clear that Lang's sent their friend downstairs to deal with this intruder, knowing it's probably a cop or someone they've pissed off. Let's find out what k...

  The abandoned warehouse opposite Red Devil Freight. Image: Adobe Stock Introduction Having a baby isn't great for making time for RPGs, but at least I'm only playing solo. I've got twenty minutes to play tonight so it'll be a short one, but we'll see how far we can get.  Last time I played, Arman Doyle deduced his target Cameron Lang was hanging out in some kind of disused warehouse opposite a company called Red Devil Freight. He's heading there now. To play Cepheus Deluxe solo we're using  Mythic Game Master Emulator 2nd Edition . For the bounty hunting system we're using  Bounty Hunter Handbook . The Adventure Scene 9 | Krinnai, Siento 1   |  3023.05.08 | Cr44,558  | Chaos Factor: 6 Doyle's car, still missing a door, speeds through the industrial district of Krinnai on the way to Lang's hideout. He's got his rubber mallet, revolver and his pistol hidden as always in his artificial forearm. It's a beautiful day in the fifth month of th...

Cepheus Deluxe: The Bounty Hunter - Session 5

  The Industrial District, Krinnai, Siento 1 Introduction Last time, Arman Doyle helped the owner of Gadget Rehab fight off a local gang who were demanding protection money, but in the process he got the man's younger cousin put in hospital after the gang hit him with their car. Hopefully the shop owner, Wilfred Parekh will still hack into the computer terminal Arman brought him in the hope it contains the personal details of his target, Cameron Lang. To play Cepheus Deluxe solo we're using  Mythic Game Master Emulator 2nd Edition . For the bounty hunting system we're using  Bounty Hunter Handbook . I only just noticed that Cepheus Deluxe has rules for character advancement. Each session the player gains 1XP. Experience points can be used to raise skills during downtime. To increase a skill to 0 (removing the -3 penalty for using it) costs 2XP, then the requirement jumps to 10XP for skill level 1, 20 for level 2 etc. Gaining one XP every single session sounds like quite a...

Cepheus Deluxe: The Bounty Hunter - Session 4

  Introduction Tasked with tracking down a man last seen at a tree sap fast food joint, novice bounty hunter Arman Doyle has stolen the restaurant's back office computer terminal in the hope his target had a loyalty card and had given his address.

The Adventure Scene 4 | Krinnai, Siento 1   |  3023.05.07 | Cr44,580  | Chaos Factor: 5 Chaos factor has been reset to 5 as Arman got the last scene under control and escaped. The day after his rather odd burglary Arman sits in his apartment staring at the Wonder Sap restaurant's terminal where he left it on the floor the night before. He never did tech stuff in the marines so he has no idea how to get anything from it, and no useful contacts here on Siento 1. His thoughts turn to Frank Hancock, his handler. Maybe he could help? He doesn't have a phone number for Ha...
