The game will be officially launched next week, in the Talking the Talk forum.22nd Century: Solar Odyssey to Hell.Game: d20 Modern + d20 Future. Campaign Setting: Transhuman Space.Adventure: This is a one shot adventure (equivalent to a 2 or 3 evening gaming session around the table) for 8th level characters (a starship crew of up to 12 PCs).Internet connection: I intend to add maps and pictures, so you better have a high-speed Internet connection to play that game. (In any case though, it's generally much better to have a high-speed connection to connect on Enworld…)<img src="http://www.dcrouzet.net/scifipics/1-title_1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />  Creating characters for this campaign:1) New account and specific pic. To join this game you must create a new account on Enworld, that will bear the name of your PC in this game, and use one of the pics displayed below. First joins = first chooses; tell me which pic you want, and I send it your way in the good size and kb weight. Thereafter, to play you must only use this account/username/pic. (The purpose is to help generate a sci-fi / starship crew ambiance.)2) PC race and background: Your character is human… or at least looks exactly like a human. No alien race allowed, so if it's not human, it's probably a bioreplica droid, or maybe a covert Moreau. Other than that, your character may come from anywhere in the Solar System, although it is 99.99 % probable that it is from Earth. (Those familiar with Transhuman Space will now where else the character could have grown up.)3) PC classes: Basically, anything from d20 Modern + d20 Future is allowed. However, spellcasters (d20 Modern) are not allowed, and some advanced classes won't be really appropriate for this game (including: Personality, Dimension ranger, Nuclear nomad, etc.). On the other hand the following supplement is allowed: Blood & Space 2: High Flyers and Ground Pounders.4) Suggestions of Classes and skills: This is essentially a starship's crew, the kind you would find in Star Trek. As such, combat (including use of medium armor), investigation skills, scientific knowledge, technical skills, and zero-G training will be much useful. Likewise, warriors and scientists types would do well. On the other hand, crooks and celebrities have nothing to do here; and skills like Bluff or Diplomacy will probably see little use, although if a PC has such skills, there will be a couple of circumstances where they may be of use.5) Starting Level: All PCs begin at 8th level.6) Ability Scores: Use the point-buy method: 32 points (see DMG 3.5 p.169, or DMG 3.0 p.20).Then, as your PC begin at 8th level, you also twice get a +1 to one ability score of your choice. 7) Hit-Points: They are rolled using an <a href="http://www.irony.com/mailroll.html" target="_blank">online dice roller</a>. This will also be used for important rolls and checks during the game; it's nice because it sends the result of die roll to emails (so yourself and the DM).8) Equipment: Will be discussed between DM and players on a case by case basis for special stuff. Otherwise simply buy whatever you want using your starting wealth; but don't forget that you will be provided with equipment by the mission's sponsor (including a starship).Once a day is perfect. You can post more just to speak with the other PCs, or you can post less, and so be in a more passive mode.This is a starship crew, so when players do post infrequently, I will just consider that their characters are busy doing some maintenance, watch, or else on the starship, while the more active posters' PCs are on the real action. Personally I will check everyday, and intervene when I feel it's appropriate. I am not only the DM, but also portray all the NPCs. (This includes the starship and its "avatar". The starship is equipped with an AI -artificial intelligence-, plus a biodroid to make repairs and what not when appropriate.)</blockquote>
