No problem guys, I'm away from late afternoon tomorrow (my time) until about the same time on Sunday. Not sure we're getting Leif on board. Any arm-twisting we can apply or should we go to plan B? BTW GlassEye, has the gnomish one been in contact about his Traveller game? We had a drop out so...

That's a shame, Shayuri. We seem destined not to go more than a few weeks in a game together. Oh well, there's always next time. Have no fear, oh mise and wighty GM, Gruffle isn't going anywhere if Spider isn't (difficult to keep going on my own...) and hopefully the Doc is sticking with it. I...

OK, given that I've only seen 4 committed responses, and it would be a shame for this to not get going, I'll throw a hat roughly in your direction. Reasons for not letting me in: - I slunk away from your last game like a big, fat baby. Waaaaaaah! - I've been bitching and moaning to anyone who...

Gokan spread the last of the rose petals on the surface of the pool, bowed deeply, then rose from his kneeling position and retreated 3 steps. For almost 20 minutes he had conducted the ritual of Chu An Shi, an entreaty to the water spirit that inhabited this particular pool to allow the...

Once the doc has relayed his message, Gruffle decided now might be a good time to send his holocard home, just in case things got busy later. He got up and stood in the queue for the information window; when he reached the counter he asked the woman 'excuse me, do you have a terminal where I can...

Excellent! I'll try and have your side thread up before I go to bed. If you'd like to migrate this to the RG (same for you Mowgli). Paging Mr Leif? Still with us? As regards those side threads, I'll play them out as long as you like; the idea was to be able to vary the time to get you all to...

I know I said I'd withdrawn from ToEE consideration AND was on a general downer with PF, but if you did start it up again as a PF game Rhun, I'd retract my retractions!

Good gravy! A post! From all of us! In a row! Consecutively! But wait....it's the *OOC* thread.. ;) It won't be a forklift I'm looking for, it's a lamp-post...

If other people don't start posting something, ANYTHING, I might look at the rules just to pass the time...:p

The more I read this discussion, the happier I am that I went away from my original idea to have Gruffle be psychic!

Yes, I thought keeping the standard 7 pt but spread over 3 traits would make them a bit less powerful. You can still be pretty good at some things, but not doing anything that bends the laws of reality!

No problems with the descriptors GE - if you can give me a little more background I'll tell you how I see them working.

Whew, this would be so much easier if we were in the same room! Yes, that's pretty much what I was meaning. I was just trying to gauge if people were going to that level of detail with their PCs, or could they effectively create the 'engine' and leave the 'bodywork' until you know more about...

Gaibrial's fingers felt along the top of the workbench until they hit the wrench he needed. Head down in the engine bay of Mike Jones' pickup, he grabbed the tool and started tightening a bolt holding the front suspension arm in place. Once he was sure it was snug, he carefully pulled himself...

RG for all characters in the game. This includes default personas (in PACE format, 7 points over 3 descriptors), plus individual incarnations suitable for each episode (i.e. game system specific). NPCs and 'companions' may also feature.

Some good points there, and not sure how to address some of them TBH. I'll start with the defaults, as that is easiest. It's nice that people are trying to bring through the core elements of the characters even in the default personas. But any cross over between them *in their own settings* is...

Good enough ;) I'm not going to hold you to it strictly - maybe giving you 4 or even 5 descriptors in the form of a sort sentence would have been easier but we'll run with this for now and maybe fiddle with it if it looks like a useful mechanic that can be expanded on later in the game. I'll...

Thanks for the game everyone. Glad to hear Mike L is sticking with it; means with a straight swap in of renau1g's character for Mustapha you should be in good shape for the AP.

Have you had a chance to look at Pace? I'm going to go with 3 descriptors, 7 pts total (will make sense once you read if if you haven't already). A lot of the other stuff can be ignored unless it becomes an issue as we're not playing a full-on game using the rules. Ill stress again, I'm looking...

Just had a thought regarding 'flavour' for your individual PCs. If I run a game where the setting is quite specific, would statting up your PCs and leaving the part relating to physical appearance and any crunch relating to that be an issue? To explain, let's say for example one of the episodes...
