OK. Trokh (Aslan) and humm.

He would have conducted dealing with any Luriani officials in Galangic. On the other hand, where there is big business, there are small businesses. And it pays to know what people are saying. OK Luriani. Whats the official name for the language?

 

[Maerdwyn]

Just called "Luriani"

By the way, there are at least three ethnic Luriani groups in the region, the Mmarislusant (Decendants of Vilani citizens - Those on Daramm and the surrounding worlds, in general), Verasti (Descendants of Rule of Man citizens), and the Wurlana (called "Voyagers" - they live and work on the trading caravans between Luriani worlds. Just FYI.

 

[doghead]

OK Thanks. Probably Saanath had the most dealings with the Wurlana, running subcontracted trades etc.

Got caught in a bind in the IC thread. How do you want that kind of thing handled? Call for a check to see what the character knows and wait? or post up conditional actions for both possibilities?

 

[doghead]

We havn't even started properly and potential hooks, dimensions and connections seem to be springing up everywhere. Its looking so good its scary.

Both of those options are fine - the latter if it's something minor, the former if you'd really like an answer first. I'll try to respond to those types of posts pretty quickly.

Hey, Thanks

By the way, here is the starmap of the immediate region surrounding Daramm and Dukh.


For all you CT fans, how much info do the players usually get about the starmap? For example, would they only know about Imperial-aligned worlds, and not the 2000 Worlds of the K'Kree? Do they only know about planets they've been to and a few major hubs? Or, do the starmaps available to players show pretty much everything?

Note that my map is going to differ somewhat (although pretty slightly) from published ones, so I'd like to know how much I need to produce and how quickly

Thanks,
Ian

Tonguez,

I checked your PC over and these are my results:

10. In case you are searching for a homewrold: I've the complete planetary profiles from the Deneb sector and the Spinward Marches sector at my disposal. So if your looking for something, tell me the guidelines/stats you are searching for and I will try to match it to a planet.

1. Thank you very much for the review - have made the changes and hope my character is now complete

2. Yes I'd like advice on a suitable Homeworld too - Tech 10 Industrial (Low Grav might be nice too)

3. Feat Question: What does Damage Control do? (its not in the Lite rules but seems suitable to Tomas' needs)

and PS does TAS membership mean I have High Passage for the trip out?

 

[Seonaid]

This pre-game stuff is great, Ian! Thanks also for the additional information above.

Sorry about the confusion in the IC thread, doghead. I apparently didn't read closely enough.

What is the Professional Specialty feat?

Reference the homeworld of Daramm. What is the tech level?

Do Luriani humans automatically get swim as a class skill?

Do we get the normal +1 to an ability every 4th level? Can this be used on any of the 8 ability scores?

What is the current year? Do we use a standard calendar for months, etc.?

Since I mustered out of the navy with 20,000 Cr and my retirement was 85,000 Cr, does that give me a total of 105,000 Cr?

What is the Professional Specialty feat?

A Professional with this feat selects a particular technical or professional or entartainment skill. the chracter may take 10 on this skill even when he would normally not be allowed to do so.

TL14

Do Luriani humans automatically get swim as a class skill?

yes

Do we get the normal +1 to an ability every 4th level? Can this be used on any of the 8 ability scores?

Yes

What is the current year? Do we use a standard calendar for months, etc.?

Standard 365 day year, AFAIK, its just measured by day number. It's currently 186-991: the 186th day of Imperial year 991. Most of the published past history holds for this campaign. Anything after 991 might/probably won't.

Since I mustered out of the navy with 20,000 Cr and my retirement was 85,000 Cr, does that give me a total of 105,000 Cr?

Yes
