This game has no classes, but general concepts on which attributes and skills you focus on do help. But the neat thing about no class means you guys have a lot of flexibility and can keep adjusting your characters until we have a full crew ready for takeoff.

Game might take a few more days or so. We'll see how fast more players come in. I want a minimum of 4 per team, but preferably 5.

Howdy, I'm playing Gill Rurry who is absolutely not in anyway a knock-off of Bill Murry (cough bullshit cough). He is a pilot and a decent Face and should be a lot of fun.

In reply to Gill Rurry (msg # 13):

Sounds good to me! And I of course will need to show you my collection of spores, molds, and fungus!

Hey hey big guy, that might work on the chicks but it won't work on me.

LOL I can already see this crew is going to get along swimmingly!

Roster so far:

Andre Klanktonne - Human (Engineer/Mechanic)
Edwin Arlo Park  - Human (Face/Leader)
Gill Rurry       - Human (Pilot/Face)
Joc Hivea        - Mutant (Engineer/Navigator)
Osram            - Cyborg (Muscle)
R-Chi1           - Android (Cyber Infiltrator)
Skip Tracer      - Mutant (Social Infiltrator)

Looks like we have a well-rounded crew. Only thing I see us missing is a Survivalist (Nature, Survival, Taming) and a Doctor (Alchemy, Medicine, Nature).

Anyone with plenty of skills want to multitask into these roles? You don't have to, just asking.

I can multi. I will take extra skills for it. No issue. Taming works with his cha focus, and I can just pick up survival and nature as skills that stem from hobbies like butterfly, geode, and other nature collecting.

I can give Edwin some skill as a doctor. It even fits a bit.

In reply to Edwin Arlo Park (msg # 18):

I could change my finesse skill into alchemy no problem.

Hullo, All.  Former Space Marine pirate-hunter here.

In reply to Skip Tracer (msg # 20):

Howdy Skippy. You mind if I call you Skippy?

In reply to R-Chi1 (msg # 19):

Or both. The update grants you 5+INT trained skills at 1st level instead of just 4. Its just your skill boosts from level ups that are now restricted to a set number. So you'll specialize in only a few but a high INT means you start with a lot of trained skills.

Also, just FYI, you don't need to list skills you're not trained in or write out your special abilities in you character sheets.

You can just link to the page using the Special Abilities thread.


For example:

Assurance: link to a message in this game


or

Assurance

Code: <a href="https://rpol.net/display.cgi?gi=77230&ti=3#2">Assurance</a>



You can copy the A-C, D-F, G-I, etc. links from the Special Abilities thread. Let me know if you have any questions!

I don't see a label for peanut butter on my shirt, so...  YES, I mind.

It does help me to see what I can do all in one place.

Thats how your gonna be after all we meant each other?

In reply to R-Chi1 (msg # 25):

No worries. If you WANT to track it manually you can. I'm just offering some tips and tricks for shortening the length of your character sheet and avoiding rewrites should errata ever occur.

In reply to Gill Rurry (msg # 26):

LOL channeling the Bill Murry already I see.

So, before we get started I'm going to start reviewing character sheets. Let me know when you're ready for review.

While we're waiting on that, please feel free to do a session 0 here in the OOC chat. What you expect for your character, how they interact, maybe get a sense for your crewmates.

Hello all, looking forward to the game.

I still need to actually look over all the rules and such now that I have access to them, but it looks like we have all the various requests for specifics covered yeah?

Session 0
Im doing my best Bill Murrey. I welcome suggestions on interactions.

In reply to Gill Rurry (msg # 30):

Mandatory Ghost Buster, Ground Hogs Day, and Zombieland jokes when magic and aliens get involved. :P

In reply to Game Master (msg # 31):

I call Egon. No backies.

In reply to R-Chi1 (msg # 32):

Takes a Payday candy bar out of his pocket and hans it to R-Chi1, "You earned it."

My father called me "Skippy" once.  Just once.

In reply to Gill Rurry (msg # 33):

*Reaches for Candy bar, misses when Gill pulls it away, and then is finally given it.*

In reply to Skip Tracer (msg # 34):

Gill pointed a finger at his chin, which he began tapping in thought before speaking, "So this is a daddy issue then? Well maybe you should see a shrink."
