I'll try and get a post up today. We did 7 hours in the car with my 4 year old yesterday... did not get to much else. Yay holiday season.

I think the scene tracker is causing an issue for me in the game forum on mobile and the laptop I have while traveling. I can't click on any of the buttons on the right hand side of the screen. Quote, Edit, Delete, Preview, or Post. I had to do the "Advanced" option to create my post. I can still get it done but just more of an FYI.

Even when the scene tracker is collapsed down to a single line of text.

That's very strange, it shouldn't be causing a problem. Can you post a screenshot of why you think its the tracker? I can try moving it up a little higher if its somehow bocking the buttons on mobile.

It doesn't block the buttons on the screen or anything like that. I can't click on anything on mobile for that particular forum while I can post normally in my other games and in other channels. As far as I know it's the only thing thats different. Using my travel laptop I could at least post. My main computer at home didn't seem to have an issue at all. Hmm actually it might be an issue with the tracker overlay due to screen size.

This is my view on Mobile. I can't click a single thing on this page. Edit, Post, the hotlink to take me back to the main forum. Nothing. The overlay for the tracker might be blocking my ability to click those buttons because it's the "top" layer.

You're right, I have the same issue on mobile. Likely a GP bug where the spoiler coding doesn't actually hide the scene tracker but just makes it invisible or something. I removed the scene tracker and added it as its own thread.

question: do you always roll the three dice on your turn? I think my character is going to take his chances on the top of the train, so what would I roll (if anything) for that?

Yes. If you don't have an applicable power or quality or something you roll a 1d4 by default.

So, small thing, don't see any Damage Saves for the Radioactivist. I assume he's a Lieutenant-level threat anyway.

Mimic hit for 2, and Cicada hit for 4 (while Radioactivist had a -1 from Mimic's attack), and of course my 4 damage.

Oh yes, I forgot his saves! Thanks for the reminder. He fails at one so goes down a die size.

Also a good reminder that if you create a boost/hinder, you need to name it and how it applies to the target.

A single drone ... as a Major Twist.

I have concerns.
Jan 3, 2026 8:07 pm
Actually, I need to clarify something before I post. Is does Cicada getting to the next car move the party to the next car (zeroing out the progress on the airlocks)?
Jan 3, 2026 11:29 pm
I thought Cicada was only on top of the current car, not that he made any forward progress
Jan 4, 2026 12:18 am
Yes, he's on the exterior of the current car, not made it to the next car yet.

Well, radioactivist is outside now, surely the drone thinks he's the bigger threat? Right?

Penny Arcade, ripping off the idea I stole .. . .

Okay, but he succeeded with a Major Twist, I thought success meant forward movement. The real crux of the question was whether or not that'd bring the rest of us forward as well.

He only narrated moving to the outside of the train with when he rolled but yes technically he did overcome the challenge so can move to the next car during his next post. If challenges are for the whole scene then yes everyone can move to the next car if they narrate going outside the train. Now that I'm seeing it in action group challenges can be a little awkward, at least in pbp.

has everyone had their turn for round 2?
Jan 5, 2026 11:13 pm
I haven't posted round 2 yet. Ill get something up tonight. Back home from Holiday family visits.
Jan 6, 2026 8:23 pm
Oooooh, I get it. Each car is a Location, and the Overcomes open the paths between them. Now I'm on the right page.

One of the adventures I ran did something similar with a tower.
