I'm with you...I can't count the number of times I've reused characters from games that hardly got started.

Ethandrew. I think I'd prefer a group who already knows the mechanics. I'll keep you in mind if we ever need a backup-player.

Raylis. You're in.

You may roll the wealth yourself. I'll be doing most of the rolling during game though. For Vitality Points use average.

You'll get a Universal communicator and ID-chip for free. Your ship will also be equipped with space suits for all of you.
You will all have your private accounts but you will also have a joint account where your trading/rading profits will be deposited. Currently this account has a wealth 10.

Voda Vosa. Yes, there are mining droids.

Currently the characters seem good. I'll check them again with better time later today.

By all means, I'll keep an eye on this story though, knowing a lot of the players, I can tell this'll be a good one.

I will work on getting my character completed over the next couple of days. I plan on making a few adjustments to him. He will serve as co-pilot for the ship, and hopefully get to see some combat in some boarding action. Because you can't gain wealth if you don't board the ships you attack!

Personal File


Michael James Cain was 11 years old when the earth was destroyed. A stoic youth, he watched it with only passing interest and resumed his studying while people gasped and paniced around him. A prodigy, Michael had a disdain for those he thought inferior and only entered medical training (at the age of 15) because his parents forced him to (they hoped that if he became a doctor he may mellow out a bit)

Michael thrived in the environment, constantly setting the standard for his peers. His keen intelligence and biting wit earned him no friends, however, and once when berated about his bedside manner he replied "Bedside manner? If you want bedside manner then go see a nurse; if you want someone you can save your life from a gaping wound see me. Despite his attitude, Michale graduated top of his class.

Personality: Michael is blunt, too the point and doesn't bother to mince words. Very sarcastic, he doesn't miss a chance to insert a jibe or a scathing insult, often as an alusion. Part of his arrogance stems from his confidence in his abilities and honestly and strongly believes in the hippocratic oath he took, even though he'll tell people that the real reason he studied medicine was so he would "know where to preciesly shoot someone to kill them the fastest."


Appearance: Michael has sandy brown hair and hazel eyes. At 5'9" he's "the standard height for a male human of his age". Despite keeping himself clean shaven almost to the point of obsessiveness, his face is best described as "scruffy." He is never without a medical kit, often containing a varity of congleaing or stabelzing chemicals in case he needs to "keep someone alive long enough to get them to a clean table."


The items marked with an asterick are from Future Tech, also Blackrat how easy would it be to acquire Boost? just a vial or two?

Rogues gallery is up: After Earth Rogues Gallery

Raylis. Boost is available. As it is a drug you can even craft some yourself.

So the crew looks like this:

Voda Vosa: Cnosos Pyropolis, Mechanic
Mithran: Faris Namir, Gunner.
Shayri: Melara Richter, Pilot.
Rhun: Damon Knight, Co-pilot.
Raylis: Dr. Michael Cain, Doc.
Micar Sin: ?, Hopefully you're still interested?

Not only is he the co-pilot, but I found another role for him as well. Since his Computer Use is tied with Cnosis, and Cnosis is filling the role of mechanic.

Rhun; that's good.

Voda Vosa; Yeah, you could prolly have a robot. I'll read the robotics rules again and let you know. What kind of droid were you thinking?

That is part of another question: Where could I get some info about that? Could I use the starwars d20 core for droids? I was thinking something like a floating orb, not to small not to big, to add in my mechanical tasks, and with some fire power as well.

Yes, there is in SRD. I'll create a little helper from scratch and assign a purchase dc for it. So if you can afford one, you can have one. I'll post again in couple of hours.

EDIT: Assuming you build most of it yourself, a tiny (the size of a human head) floating droid with 4 ranks in two skills would have purchase DC of 18. It has two different kind of manipulators: one that is assigned for a single skill, and one that has some kind of probe (temperature, pressure, noise...). I't can also be mounted with a weapon wich must be purchased separately.

If you would like it to have more skills or more sophisticated manipulators let me know and I'll calculate the cost again.

Thats the kind of droid i was thinking of.
I must say I lack of d20 Future book, I just have the d20 modern core (not mine really, it's from a friend). I assume we are going to have... blasters or something like that. Where could I find the future equipments? Do you have a link like the one of d20 modern Blackrat?
Forgive my spelling ^^

It's in the same link, just scroll down. So what 2 skills do you want it to posses? Repair and Craft mechanics? And don't worry about your spelling, english isn't my native language either. I tend to edit my posts a few times before I'm satisfied with my spelling

English IS my native language, and I consider myself quite proficient in it...and I still have to edit most of my posts several times!
