NC Game Day VII - April 23!

[nakia]

My picks, in order,

Tex (having lived in Texas, and a wife who is a Texan, I think I could do him justice)
Professor MacTaggart
The Captain

But I'd really be down with anyone!

I don't have to be Tex; I just want to be involved

Just so's we're clear, we're talking about two different games here (or, more precisely, two runs of the same game at different times). So, if I'm reading things right I've now got Game Day as:

CL = Budrajah
Toras = Lizzie
Old One = Captain Umbridge
Tiberous = Tex
Nakia = Carlotta

Leaving Professor for Kylekatern.

For AF&G on April 10th:

Jon Potter = Captain Umbridge
Belen Umeria = Budrajah
AdamantineAngel = Tex

Leaving The Professor, Lizzie and Carlotta unclaimed as of yet.

Holler if I've got my wires crossed anywhere in there.

I edited my post above to give you the Professor. If you and Tiberius decide to swap between now and then that's fine by me.

No need to fight. I'll be Carlotta; she sounds like fun. Didn't Henry play her last game day?

Henry did in fact play her last Game Day (with slightly sluttly flair I might add). If you still want the Professor, that's not a problem. Nobody is fighting over anything (at this point anyway). I just went down your list and since Old One had already expressed an interest in Tex for Tiberius then I went with your #2 choice.

If you'd like to opt for Carlotta, she's not taken. But then neither is the Professor at this point.

Put me down for Carlotta; I think I'd rather fly the Sky Galleon than blow stuff up. I'll get some tips from Henry on how to play Carlotta to her fullest.

The good news is that Carlotta, like Captain Umbridge, is trained in both manning the helm and trim controls of a Sky Galleon as well as the shipboard weaponry. Therefore you stand a reasonable chance of getting to both fly the Sky Galleon AND blow stuff up!

Lola's the better person for that, though she hasn't shown up here in a while; I played slightly, ahem, LESS conservatively than she does. Based on Rel's take on her (he gives you some RP notes at game day) I see her as more ambition than talent, but she makes up for it with generous helpings of luck. In our Venus game, she started out trying to regain the good graces of the Crown and hopefully another ship, but she had her heartstrings plucked by those cute little Venusian reptile-men and their helpless plight and decided to aid them, though they didn't seem to take to her very well. Carlotta's a fun character - she grows on you.

It depends on what she's doing at the time. Carlotta is not tremendously skilled at personal combat. Her aim is not that great (a fact that she tries to compensate for with the use of a sawed-off shotgun) and she'd not terribly strong. But she's VERY good at commanding a crew and flying a ship. And she's not half bad at firing the cannons either (It takes two extra feats to do this that most people don't have).

As far as how she's roleplayed, I care not at all. The notes I give really cover the mechanical strengths and weaknesses of the character more than personality. I have enjoyed the twists and quirks of character added by every player I've ever GMed for at Game Day. I suspect that this one will be no different.

Rel, I could help playtest if there's still a slot open. I'm still up for dinner, regardless. Pretty sure that April 10th is the only day that I could play, though.
