Re: [HOE] simple question reguarding load

[Dirk <darklord@dark-sky.net>]

He stripped several vehicles that had belonged to a road gang of components
we figured that the components weigh over 500 pounds.  On a side note, we
got all these parts using an idea that came up a couple weeks ago on the
list.  Figure out how many components are used to build a vehicle of that
type. and then roll scrounging, success nets you 10% of the vehicles
components, each raise nets you an extra 10%.  This did create an abundance
of parts, so in the future I'll probably go with an extra 5% per raise, but
it worked pretty good.  I was happy cause the player chipped some of his
rolls to get more parts, and he was happy cause he got some parts to
replace the small load of parts he lost in the last adventure.

So in all... I don't know what I'm saying any more... I'm tired and going
to bed.  Oh yeah, and that idea work from a couple of weeks ago.
