I had a lot of fun today with a (first) session today. It was a fun bit of roleplay and some dice throwing as a first group of five (5) PCs arrived in-system. I had a lot of fun GMing for the five Players - we used Roll20 with Discord audio - and appreciate learning more about a West Marches...

Nice - that's a great point. Allowing mob groups to engage and get crossfire and flanking bonuses, because that's what they do.

No, I think there’s plenty of NPCs, organizations, etc. Plenty of need for a social based PC.

Great questions and guidance - thank you! So, to your point, shuttles will or can be available to starting PCs. Mainly Bossman, Vosh and Skylarks. I'd imagine they'd be available primarily on leases or patron-based loan/mission use, but depending on PCs, someone(s) could own one. The primary...

Yes, NEW - sorry about that!

It’s exciting to see this form up. I’m going to look to put up a starter map - essentially blank, and maybe some rumor, orgs and such. PCs should be default NEW characters, grade 5. I’d like to allow in the standard NEW races, plus looking to allow in the additional ones from EONS.

I put up an Obsidian Portal page / site to support the game. It's bare bones right now - if anyone wants to add a PC, etc., PM me your address and I'll send you an invite. https://newstars.obsidianportal.com/

I like this - works just fine for me, and I'm naturally assuming that I'll be (co)GMing, since that's what I do. ;)

Sure, that works.

It would be really interesting to not only try it as an experiment, but then prepare an EONS article or community PDF are: experiences running a West Marches game for WOIN.

Did some reading - so basically, a sci-fi sandbox, with play / plot driven by Player / PC actions, with games scheduled by players based on availability and interest. Sounds fun. I’m sort of keen to use the example / default setting map from NEW, and sort of see how it develops from player...

Interested, and experienced GM myself. Where can I get more info about “West Marches” though?

Sunday evenings about 6 pm Pacific (GMT -8, I believe) works for me and a couple of us. I have to coordinate with my Delta Green Game, but I expect a couple openings a month ... including this coming Sunday (Sept 2). We could do some campaign planning and / or some quick roleplay for those able...

Excellent. I do some gaming with friends on the East Coast, so should be do-able. Ping me and let me know what time blocks might work for your schedule.

Nice. Looking forward to ordering these.

I've been having good luck with Roll20 lately, and would be open to running a game of WOIN (NEW?) with it, if I can find some interested players. I'd be thinking weekends, pacific time, although there's possibility of a short weeknight game. Any folks interested?

Looking forward to this one as well. I really liked the WOIN / NEW starship recognition guide, and the two alien books, so this is a welcome addition.

Yea, I think I'll go that route, and maybe just lean more heavily into some of the MA style exploits. I'd want to make sure Players felt like their PC really bested a style where relevant.

Thinking mainly of NOW, with its focus on martial art styles / careers and stances - thoughts on how folks might want to see martial artist enemies (either as a GM or from a Player perspective)? Usually the WOIN guidance is to build NPCs as monsters, and no issue there. NOW includes several NPC...

As a tangent to the call for WOIN reviews and mindshare, I thought it might be helpful and fun for folks to talk about either what they’re doing with WOIN today, or what hooked your interest in WOIN (if not doing anything with it), or both. For myself, the hook was seeing it pop up at DTRPG...
