[kirinke]

Alrighty then. I have me character posted in da Rogue's gallery fer youse perusal. May ye be well pleased with it. Aye?

 

[Blackrat]

Looking good.

Industry, sounds good too.

I'll get a character posted by the end of the week. Still interested. Just been busy is all.

 

[Blackrat]

No hurries. We'll start when everyone and everything is ready. I must remind you that this was kind of moments thought for me too so I don't have much planned out yet. I've been spending the last week just skimming through internet, looking for as much info about 30's as possible. Learning about all the pulp-characters I can get to. Even if I don't have much yet worked out I have a good feeling about this.

Hey Blackrat,
I have been pondering my characetr as well, though with Elizabeth done, that helps guide some of my decisions. But what year are we talking? Not that it matter enormously, but the late 30's had a different feel that the early 30's.

 

[Blackrat]

Well pretty much mid 30's. The War isn't yet obvious to be coming, and it is still free to move around in the Europe. The nazis already do control germany however. The great depression is already over but still in the memory of everyone. Much like the the 30's of Indiana Jones.

 

[Fenris]

Cool.

One more question. With the Wound/Vitality system, I assume anything that affects HP affects Vitality (Toughness, Robust etc.) I read that this system doesn't use MDT, so the Improved Damage Threshold feat is not used or is it modified in some way.

Likewise how do you want to deal with Vitality points?

 

[Blackrat]

You've assumed exactly correctly.
The feat affects your WOUND points but may be taken only ONCE.
Vitaly points: Full at first level, average from that point on.

Eddie Wallace, field reporter, is almost finished. How do you want to handle equipment and the like? He'd obviously need a camera, but camera of the 1930's differ just a bit from those of today.

Max vitality points, or average? Or would you rather someone roll?

I'm sure there are more questions, but they escape me at the moment. Such is life with a toddler and a bored 4 year old, eh? Never time for dad to play games to.. :\

What about this for a brainy scientist?
