NC Game Day (Dates posted for NCGDVI-VII on top of page 16)

Henry said:
I flew by the seat of my pants at the first Game Day - it went well, but I struggled with prep-work the night before, and I resolved to have everything done at the next one. For me, starting about two months prior and working on it a piece at the time seems the best way to go - five minutes here, an hour there, etc. - and by the end I've got it pretty polished about a week before the event.

I'm only sorry I'm going to miss the dinner with you guys tonight - but I'll see you tomorrow morning! (And I and my crew are still going to Rock-ola on Sat. Night!)

Although last minute can work for you. I usually just create a simple outline and let the session fill itself out.

Fallen Earth Characters

Fallen Earth Characters

#1: Magdalene O’Donnell (taken) Former Jesuit Priestess- Even though she took advantage of the third reformation to become a priest, she has a deep love for the old faith. She is an avid fan of both ancient history an ancient weapons. She studied for the priesthood in the Vatican after college. Even though she had been an amateur fencing champion while at UNC-Chapel Hill, she learned more than a few deadly maneuvers from the elite Swiss Guards. She returned to North Carolina a few weeks before the Fall just shy of becoming a full priest. Now, she wears the garb of a priest and a warrior, praying to find a path on this Fallen Earth. (NOTE: This character has been taken by Alenda/ Christy.) She carries several ancient daggers and a Damascus-steel rapier.

#2: Major Beth Guthrie- The first lady to win a Medal of Honor for Combat and the youngest Major in USMC history at 25. Her platoon held a pass for five days against an entire brigade, allowing the Marine Corps to cut off and decimate an entire Chinese Mechanized battalion and ending the US-Chinese War of 2035. Stationed at Camp Lejeune, she was leading a relief expedition in Asheville when the final meteor hit the Atlantic. Most of her company deserted after Lejeune was destroyed and she made her way to Raleigh to find her parents. She is tough and determined, but has a way of making people feel at ease. She is a graduate of NC State. She carries an old-style M-16 with an M80 attached, a colt .45, and a combat utility knife.

#3: Matt Willis- Park Ranger- A member of the US Forestry services, he was fighting for the right to see his child just before the Fall. He is a quiet, intense man who is searching for his ex-wife and young daughter. He is both a great hunter and tracker and has survived where many others have died. A family man without a family, he will do anything to find his loved ones. He tends to relate more to wild creatures, but he does like people and will help where he can. He carries a hatchet, bowie knife and a hunting rifle.

#4: Steve Bissette (Doc Holiday reborn?) - He has just completed his residency at Duke when Fall began. A Durham gang burned down the Duke hospital while he was away and his fiancé and friends died in the fire. He proceeded to hunt down the gang using his father’s vintage colt revolvers (with matching fast draw holsters.) Other than the colts, he carries a wicked serrated blade from one of the gang members he’s hunted.

#5: Lt. Tom (Skip) Duncan- This rowdy Texan served as a test pilot for the USAF and had been chosen to join the newly established United States Space Navy before the fall. He was stationed at Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro in time for the final meteor impact and flew a group of survivors out of the base just before it washed away. Tom was captured by the Final Judgment for a brief time and some people can still see a haunted look around his eyes from time to time. His favored weapon is a Glock 17 and he carries a wicked combat utility knife in his boot.

#6: Miguel Calderon (taken by Henry): Before the fall, Miguel was an accomplished hacker, mechanic, cat burglar and capoeira fanatic. After the fall, however, his natural intelligence and gift for securing even the most difficult to obtain basic needs made him a hero. At the Shearon Harris Nuclear power plant, his natural gift with chemistry and mechanics made him a true member of the team. He has trained a number of people in capoeira and while still a bit rough around the edges, remains dedicated to the small community. Miguel prefers to get close to his foes and use his natural weapons, although he carries around a 10 gauge scattergun, just in case.

#7: Devlin Steele- He was on his way to becoming the most famous actor in the 21st century. He danced like Fred Astaire and could act like Jimmy Stewart or Tom Cruise. He was visiting his family in Boone when the fall began. Now Devlin acts as spy and negotiator. He even tells people that he is the modern day James Bond. He has made dozens of trips into Final Judgment territory and refuses to speak about it no matter what people offer for the information.

Let me know if you need to have a character as one gender or the other, I'm doing as my fancy sees fit for the momment.

I think Kernelpanik's character had probably best be a male - I can't see him roleplaying a woman. Correction - I don't WANT to see him playing a woman! :D
 



Ladies and Gents, I'm going to be incommunicado after 5pm, so I will see you all at the Gameday!

(Rel, I'm e-mailing you my cell # on the outside chance you need anything, or if the Gameday is canceled by some freak act of nature.)
 

I'm about to set foot out the door to head to the Pre-Dinner in a few minutes. If anybody needs directions at the last minute, please call Errico's in Cary (sorry, I don't have the phone number right in front of me). If you've never met me before, I'm wearing a green, short sleeve, button down shirt and jeans. Remember that our reservation is for "Morrus". Also, if you get there early, stop by Fallen Orc Games in the same shopping center. I'll probably be hanging out there for a few minutes beforehand.

If I don't see you at dinner then I'll see you at Talley in the morning. Anybody who needs directions there, post about it and I'll make sure you get them. Or e-mail me at asmoore (at) earthlink (dot) net. If you need me for anything in the morning at Game Day, I'll be the guy wearing an Orc and Pie t-shirt.

See you all soon.
