This is the place for out-of-character posts. Comments, questions, ideas for future episodes, etc... post 'em here.

You know, I think I'll pass, guys. I probably won't be able to follow the story 'cause I'm crap at reading long stories written in English with hard words :P But seriously, I'll cause more mischief than good. But have fun with the game peeps :)

Awww, you did well last time too. :) But if you really don't wanna, that's okay too. There's no force in it. We'll have fun in your name too :D

It looks like players have come up with a neat intro for themselves. I'll make an entrance when the time is right...soon...

Hmm, seems I have the oldest character :D

Old fart...

Kid...

Just in case anyone's wondering, I split the chat off from the Character Bios thread and merged it in here to keep the bio thread clean.

Hehe, I wanted to do that too, but... well... I couldn't resist :P

Now it's 3 people(David, Gem and Sabre) watching the same scene. It's getting crowded.

And Alexa, pity you dropped out. I can't blame you though, I completely understand your motives. Besides you've got artworks to make! Chop, chop!

Oeh... does this mean we have no main female characters involved? Oh darn, I'm stuck with you guys :P I could make Sabre female... but I don't want to!

Jagori, I think the last RPG failed because we didn't have a clear goal in sight. I think it might be smart to figure out a goal for the entire team to work towards as soon as we've all joined up.

I agree. I've got a short-term goal for this episode: meet up and find a job without pissing too many people off. Longer-term goals and future episodes, etc, well... I could come up with a few, but ideas are definitely welcome.

I think I'll make an entrance at the Inn, not sure yet. Just so you know.

Ah ok good, cuz I was asking myself what exactly we're all going to do :P

I apologize for leaving it ambiguous. I briefly mentioned it elsewhere, but now that I look, I never really did state it officially. So here's what I've got in mind as goals for this episode:

- Introduce all the chars
- Get a crew and passengers together
- Get a job or some other way to get cash
- Maybe make a few friends or enemies
- Take off toward the job or next destination.

The job or next destination would be next episode. Sound good?

Sounds good to me :)

I think all characters are there now, we just need to bring them together.
I've seen:
David
Denden
Gem
Marcus
B-Gev
Sabre

So, we need an opening, a reason to group up. But, knowing Jagori, I think it'll work out fine! :D

We might put few female NPCs, after all, we do need a good mechanic and a good medic.

Meh, not the same. Nobody knows women but women, and Jagori isn't one. We need a live one damnit! :P

We still need those places taken, though :P

I wish I knew women too... :unsure: :P

That was just too funny. :D

Well, at least I get guys. At least I think I do.

It boils down to 2 things:
- Sex
- Beer

That's pretty much it. Sometimes, in the case of marriage, TV replaces sex. But beer is always there. Trust me.

Unfortunately for me I'm more complicated than that, resulting in the fact that I do know men, but I don't know myself. Pity really, cause I would really like to get to know me...

Stop right there. Before it gets too complicated. :blink:

I hate beer, I heartily agree on the sex part though :P and my character needs someone to swoon to again (remember last time? our lovely pilot?)

Oh well, I guess not typical males hang around here. *hangs around*

And sorry Alexa, but I thought I was keeping it simple...

Ok, Jagori, I'm not going to be able to read up until... tomorrow. So, if you need to keep it going please introduce me to Gao, if necessary. For the rest, try not to type to much, K? I need to be able to keep up :P

Ok, no problem :)

We're nearing the end of the intro, so I think it's time to start thinking up new episodes if we want to continue. David's got a job for the team, so I think that's a good starting point. I was thinking something along the lines of retrieving an item/some information hidden within an organization's base on the planet. Anyone want to suggest any details?

Before we do that, I still need to meet up with the rest, but i'm not sure if their already at the Hangar or if I will meet them in the Inn.

I have some ideas, but a few I would not release openly, so I'll PM them to you, then you can decide what you think of it.

B-Gev, we can start planning for future episodes before we get to them. If you've got any ideas for scenarios you want to play through, go ahead and post them even if we're in the middle of something else.

And does anyone else think that the current scene sounds like the lead-in to a joke? "A bounty hunter, a spy, and a ninja walk into a hangar..."

Anyone has a good idea for finishing this? :P

LOL!

they're looking for a ship called The Bounty "I don't see it" says the spy. "Good!" Says the Ninja "I'd knew you'd like it!"

Hahaha :lol: Very funny! :P

Ha, nice :D

I would like to hear what the most evil thing is you have ever done during a role-playing game.

I'll start:
I was a Half-Orc barbarian in Dungeons and dragons once. since the character was chosen for me, I felt no love for him, mostly because I tend to like intelligent characters more.
so when the party found a treasure trove which included a ring I knew was a ring of three wishes, I had my Orc pick it up and utter the words "I wish everyone was Blue... I wish everyone was Orange... I wish everyone was Purple... COOL! it's a ring of colour-changing!"

Honestly, I can't think of anything off hand, i'm usually good to the bone in the RPG's I play.

Heh, this is the only non-video game RPG I've been involved in... and I don't think I've been that evil yet! :D

Anyway, Fomorian asked about a roll in the current play thread. I was going to explain it there, but the explanation got pretty long, so I'm putting it here instead.


I asked you to roll 3 dice. It was 1 for stealth vs. the porch guard, and 2 for sleeping gas vs. 2 guards in the room.

You rolled: 7, 13, 14
I rolled for the guards: 7, 8, 10.

You beat them on two, and matched on one. Because of Gem's stealth skills and the guards being caught unawares, I pushed that match to a win. I was planning on having different degrees of success or failure, ranging from pulling it off without a hitch (like you did), to having the guards notice and open the door on Gem or something like that. I want dice rolls to open up the possibility of things going wrong, but not ruin the game. Keeps it interesting if you don't always pull everything off.


I don't want to make this a numbers-heavy game for you players, so I was planning on just asking for rolls, and taking care of everything else behind the scenes. Do you want me to expose more detail in the future? If so, how much?

NAH, just ask for the rolls, after something has or has not happened you can always say what the roll signified. allows for speculation, but not for meta-game thinking to ruin the game

Yeah, good point; that's something I forgot to mention. I don't want to be giving too much away!

Also, how about this: if you succeed on a roll that lets your char take control of a scene, I'll just tell you the effects and let you narrate how the action unfolds. Gives you a bit of room to play your character up. Sound good?
