Also note I'm going to probably keep a link to this thread in the first post of the OOC thread. Further, after the players each have a post in the RG, I'll put up some of the stray word documents related to the game there (so the RG will act as the keeping place for any information).
I don't want to spoil any ideas or events, so send me an email at creamsteak@hotmail.com with something easy to identify in the subject line. We'll need to find some way to communicate that isn't readily available to the regular players.
Essentially, it's "PC-light." You get to control/manage/work on a character within the scope of the game, but you'll do a lot of things "behind the scenes" at times. There will then be times where you interact with the regular game, as a 3rd party. It should be pretty similar to some of the off-side storylines from the Psionicle.
