For Queen and Country! A Space: 1889 Campaign [OOC]

[doghead]

Working on background now. It will probably go something like this - bit of a child genius, building bridges and peddle powered vehicles as a child, accepted into uni early, recruited into a prestigious firm, married, quickly rose through the ranks, divorced, got frustrated with the increasing office bound paper pushing nature of his work, quit and accepted (by corresondence) a position with a firm based on Mars. Heading there now to see what he has got himself into.

Looks good. Not exactly sure what Master Plan is, but I like the sound of it. I like all the Craft/Knowledge and Profession ranks. Lovely.

Wolfgang Meijer is his name.

As for gadjets, I have no idea. I'm not really sure the type of thing possible. A spyglass with light amplification? A watch with compass? Anyone got any suggestions?

What sort of weapons is he profficient with? Could he use a cane-sword?

Master Plan allows the character to form a plan of action for an up coming encounter given time. You make Int DC 10 check and depending on how well you make it everyone gets a +1 or more to attack and skill checks for the next scene.

Sure you can have a sword-cane if you wish. I will post it's stats for you.

Sword Cane +2 Damage (+3 with STR) Mighty, Subtle, Crit 19-20. Equipment Cost: 6

You will need bump up your Equipment Feat to 2 to allow the points needed for the Sword Cane. So you need to free up one power point from somewhere to pay for it.

We can work on wierd steampunk gadgets later as the game progresses.

Ok we are just waiting on Torillan to post his character in the Rogue Gallery thread and we can get started.

I like the sound of master plan.

I'll hold off making any changes to the character at this point. Perhaps Wolfgang can pick something up later.

As for gadgets, I'm happy to leave that until the game is in motion. But I do like the idea of a low-light spyglass.

thotd

 

[Torillan]

Ok we are just waiting on Torillan to post his character in the Rogue Gallery thread and we can get started.

Hey guys. Sorry for the delay, but I was on vacation and school started this week. I will try to post my character soon.

As a heads up, I just started a nursing program and that will tie up a lot of my time, but I will try to post as often as I can. My new laptop will help!

 

[Yellow Sign]

I am going to get this game going. Expect a IC game thread in a moment.

 

[Yellow Sign]

Ok the game has started here.

The RMS Majestic of the White Star line will depart for Mars at noon on July 11, 1889, from the London Etherport, located north of the city. It's final destination is Syrtis Major on Mars. Characters are arriving at the ship to board.

Have fun!

Hey Yellow Sign,

I saw on the recruitment board that you had a spot open for this game? If that is true I'd like to toss my hat in. Not particularly familiar with Space 1889 but I do know the M&M system.

I'll take the liberty of posting the character sheet

History

As a child James Roarke was fascinated with flight. He drew pictures of aether ships and his head was always pointed skyward. His father was a pilot and would occasionally take Jim up into the sky, which only solidified his desire to want to be a pilot as well. On his eighteenth birthday he joined the British Royal Navy. He quickly grew skilled with swordplay and favored close combat rather then pistols. Unfortunatly he had become an avid risk taker (a prerequesite he believed all pilots needed to possess) and washed out of Navy. Nursing resentment toward the Navy, Jim ultimatly found work as a pilot with a French outfit where he learned to handle and aether ship and refined his swordsmanship.

Eventually he parted ways with the outfit, taking in odd jobs here and there all the while wanting a ship he could call his own.
