Bad Moon over California OOC

[synecdoche]

Here it goes...

I did as much as I could, but if someone could check it over I'd appreciate it muchly.

I wasn't sure of a few things. Am I right in thinking that GRIT is the equivalent of hit points? So we just get 3/4 of the max HP for each level?

Anyway, here goes:

Just on a quick glance:

You missed one stat boost for level 8

Defense would be +18 (+3 for Dex not +4)

Fort: +3
Ref: +9
Wil: +3


The Bonus Feat is the same for S:R as Modern so you got that right.

Missing 2 Feats for Character Level

Remington Double-Derringer has essentially the same stats as the Modern version.... 2 shots with a Full Reload time of 1 full-round action

Great work, guys! I'll wait until they are completed before setting up an RG thread.

Max, everything looks great at first glance. If you could get up a paragraph of background in time for tomorrow morning, I'd be much obliged. I'm sure you are better at catching the details than I am, anyhow. Would you mind going over the other ones if you get a chance?

Syn, you are right about Grit.

Thanks for the effort, everybody. Looks like some good characters.

This looks like this will be a blast. Cool characters all around.

Game Time?

I was wondering how this is going to work. I have never done play by post so is there a set time (start and end) on Saturday that I should be checking the boards or is it a more casual thing? What time were you going to start things up tomorrow? I am on the East Coast.

Thanks and pardon my ignorance.

Ok, I have edited in his background after the stats and equipment.

Alright, so the book didn't arrive today (surprise, surprise). I'll have my character sheet and Internet access as I travel though so I don't think there should be any major issues. I should have no problem posting regularly-- the only period I might be a bit absent is between Wednesday afternoon and Friday afternoon, but I will do my best to post then as well.

Looking forward to playing!

Casual is the name of the game. In a perfect world, I will update the adventure once a day. Each player posts a description of what the characters do in that situation. I'm not sure when I will be ready tomorrow, but expect the in game thread to be ready by tomorrow night. Once it is up, feel free to post as often as you like. It's better to post too much thatn too little. . Things come up for people, obviously, so it's not a suprise if a player does not post for a few days or *gulp* a week, but I'm hoping the pace will be pretty consistent on this one. Like I stated in the intro, I'm hoping for a minimum of 5-6 posts/week. Many players are not able to access the site on weekends, so it usually slows down then.

Check out some of the other "Playing the Game" threads to get an idea of how things work.

No problem! Don't be concerned about being away for a few days, though I do appreciate you letting me know.
