Leif's DISCONTINUED GURPS Traveller Game OOC01

Doc is a medical genius and certainly well-qualified to be a ship's doctor. And, because of his situation, he comes cheap!

So...what you're saying then is that Doc H. is a $20 ho, right? (Or did you mean something else by "comes cheap?")[/sblock]

 

[Insight]

[sblock=Leif]Well, Doc does have the lecherousness disadvantage. Perhaps a bit of both!

It is with slightly heavy heart that I'm going to leave you to it. For some reason over the past few days I have gone from enthusiastic to almost completely uninterested in gaming. It has happened to me 2 or 3 times before (the first time I ended up selling my collection of 1st Ed D&D books which might have been worth something now - doh!), but the other times it has just been a case of going away from it for a while and at some stage in the future coming back to it.

What probably hasn't helped is lack of progress here. I'm not dropping all my games, but we've been round the houses, back to the start, getting confused and generally procrastinating for a month or so without any actual sign of getting a game going. I'm still no nearer to having a PC ready, nor it appears do we know what we are doing or how we are going to do it. So I'll let you work it out on your own. Have fun with whatever you do.

 

[Shayuri]

He's got a point. The game lacks a sense of unifying vision.

We just all kinda went, "Dude, you know what would be cool? Like...a game where we're all, like, flying around in space and stuff. Duuuuuude..."

But it never got more specific than that.

 

[Insight]

Well, we could play something else. Or just give up on the whole idea. I dunno. You guys seem cool and I would like to game with you in some capacity. Just not sure what.

 

[Leif]

Well, before you all leave me, I should inform you that I do, in fact, have a plan that is not too far from being ready to implement. The idea is this: You are all working as the crew of a ship operating under the flag of the Zhodani Consulate assigned as 'agents' in Imperial space. Your employer is a large conglomerate/corporation in The Consulate will send you off on your first mission, but then you'll likely be orphaned by them for some reason and left to fend for yourselves and able to do whatever you choose. Or that was what I was thinking anyway. Does that help some? (Please don't leave me!)

Also, I was kinda waiting to see the rest of the characters before I make too many decisions about things. Scotley should be back this weekend or thereabouts, so I'd really like to have the party fleshed out by the end of next week, and hopefully get the game started the week following that.

 

[Insight]

I'm certainly willing to continue, but it seems like it's mostly Leif, Shayuri, and myself. If that's the case, maybe I should create a different character and let Doc be a background character upon whom we can call if need be.

Don't forget Scotley! He's out of town in NO this week. I expect him home on Friday, possibly, and look for him to be back to posting by Sunday. Interestingly, he was wanting to play an engineer, anyway, so Grufflehead's departure opens that slot for him.

But your idea of each player having a 'reserve' character is a good idea. Still, I like Doc H. very much, and I'd like to see him be your main character, if you agree.

 

[Leif]

Perhaps you could each have a 'brain' character and a 'brawn' character. Possibly switching between them? Some of you might prefer brawn over brains at least part of the time?

 

[Shayuri]

So just to get it straight, we're Zhodani spies in the Imperium?
