I think I'm going to call this one guys. Thanks for participating in a playtest. If any of you are interested in working with the system more, you can shoot me a pm. I just don't think that this format will be very viable for Omen. If you give me your feedback and name, I will list you in the...

There is a lot of sound advice here, and much of what I think is cautious and wise has already been said. But, I had a group like this. And the way that I fixed it was all in one session. I sat there and stared at them for about 2 minutes. Once everyone was sufficiently awkwardly put into...

[There is a station standard time, right now is considered about 0100 in the morning.] [A crew is also somewhat expected for the higher level fighters]

Having started a new playtest just last night for OMEN, I asked all of my players to define their characters with three core concepts (preferably one or two words) and write them on a sheet of paper. I gave them the sheet and told them to put it on top of their character sheet, writing down the...

So, what do you guys want to do?

[Yeah, unarmed attacks are whatever "style" you select, typically bludgeoning, bonus. Unarmed attacks gain no additional bonus beyond the skill. So if your bludgeoning is +8 then your unarmed attack is +8. Although, The Pit definitely allows and encourages weapon use.]

[As an aside, most of you know it is not unusual for a fighter to either come alone or have a wide range of assistants. Some of the more successful professionals have cadres of nearly a dozen men who help them train, or call out tactics to them in the fight, or keep them healthy, so forth.]

[Walking Dad, weapons will be much more common in the "neutral" area or even in Dekt's territory. Dekt's men all carry tons and tons of weapons, they are basically an armed militia. [kinem, no there really is no connected internet on the station. The closest thing to that is a large...

[As a piece of culture, The Pit and gladiatorial fighting is seen as a completely acceptable form of entertainment. Most fights are not to the death, although people certainly do die. Very effective warriors get sponsored by some of the large entrepreneurs and powerful people like Lowapa, and is...

[Motog, you feel a slight slippery substance on your arms, back, and chest. You're not entirely sure what it is, and it might just be some moisture from these others in the room with you. In the heat, the slipperiness is becoming more apparent, and you can feel the material beginning to...

[Max has a pretty good grasp on getting into various computer networks, although currently he can't come up with a creative solution other than simply hacking. His largest concern, and somewhat the reason he is tripping up, is that certainly any sort of hack would more than likely be noticed...

[Walking Dad, Motog isn't "bad" at anything, even a +3 adds a substantial percentage bonus of success. Most of the target numbers are around 15-20, or are opposed checks, so Motog's bonuses are still substantial. He is a real combat power house and can single-handedly kill a whole squad of...

[ghostcat , kinem, Velmont, Walking Dad , anything else you all would like to add? If this isn't keeping the interest of the group we can cancel the game for now. But if you guys would like to continue I'd like to see at least one post a day from everyone, if possible. OMEN is a game in which...

[Please continue the conversation, this is the most interesting part for me. I want to see how you guys plan on tackling this. If you have OOC questions feel free to ask.]

The beggar tries to catch the quap coin flipped to him, but his poor reflexes and entirely carnivorous diet make his hands shake. As the coin drops, he stoops over slowly to pick it up off the ground. "Thank you, thank you kind soul.." he says in a raspy voice, his near blackened teeth showing...

The girl quickly scampers off away from the group to freedom, not looking back as she heads away from Lowapa's club. The beggar continues to shuffle onward, getting nearer to the group. He is clearly making eye contact with Max, seemingly intent on getting some money or resources out of the...

Max has seen many beggars on Taugon, and this one appears no different other than he is quite old. Getting past forty is an accomplishment on a station of this sort, so he is either recently a beggar, or is very very crafty. [If you guys want to move on to one of your residences, someone can...

[kinem That is pretty much up to you, but seeing as you guys are at least halfway decent enough to be hired by Lowapa, you wouldn't have to live in the slums and might even have a residence around the corner. I would say really wherever you'd like, up to about a minute away. Although...

Max sees a few curious passerby walking along in the station, and one of the nearby tramways zips by with a kinetic energy hum, rattling along the somewhat uneven magnetic tracks. Other than that he sees nothing. [All of you have a pretty intimate knowledge of the station, its major locations...

She listens to the short one, fearfully eyeing Motog as he towers over her. "Nobody has anything worth stealing in that club, the VIPs come in from some other route, but he..." she looks furtively at Motog, "...seemed like an easy mark." She squirms and wiggles as if she wants to run but keeps...
