[Serenity RPG] Across the 'Verse - OOC.

[Maerdwyn]

Thanks Tailspinner


Ethandrew,

If you send me some more details about that character idea, I could suggest some crunch for you and you could then tweak it - does that sound good?

 

[Thanee]

Ah, there actually is no Negotiation specialisation for Influence...

Wonder how that one came up (though I'm reasonably sure to have seen it on some example char in one of the books at least)...

Bye
Thanee

 

[Maerdwyn]

I know I've seen it somewhere too. huh.

Regardless, someone could take it as a "new specialty," if they wanted . (Actually just finished a course on negotiation at law school - Maybe that's why it was on the brain. The final was brutal )

Tried to send you a private message a couple times, but it wasn't working - guess I need to be a community supporter?

Anyway, absolutely ignore this if you aren't interested in having either mech engineering or science (in which case I will happily introduce the plot in another way):

I had planned, buy have not yet built, an NPC/potential passenger who was an engineer or scientist employed at ITT (which is Alliance run), but who discovers something that either got him fired or made him really want to get off the planet in a hurry. If you feel like filling this role with your PC great .

Otherwise, as I say, I can easily introduce the planned plot another way [/sblock]


Thondor, thanks for putting Aaron up in the Rogues Gallery!

Tailspinner and Fenris, if you have thought about the comments to your charcaters and are either satisfied as they are or have incorporated changes, and have made the numbers work, feel free to put your characters up as well. If you need final help with the crunch, just let me know.

(Of the issues mentioned already:
Fenris, You could take Influence d6 and Streetwise d8 for the same points you've already spent, dropping something like Discipline (where you have no specialized skills) from d6 to d4.

Tailspinner, straight shooter might indeed be difficult, but if you want the role playing challenge, cool. some ranks in performance, as Thondor suggested, might mitigate things a bit.)


Finally, I'll be putting, in the first post of the thread, the list of skills and specialties that tailspinner included above, and I will put any character who currently has the skill next to it, so we can see easily what the balance of skills in the party is.

Nah, he probably just has it switched off (knowingly or unknowingly) in the settings. Then it doesn't work.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what was happening since I got both PM's just fine.

(Of the issues mentioned already:
Fenris, You could take Influence d6 and Streetwise d2 . . .

No prob.

Should be Streetwise d8 (costs 2 points, I'm sure it was just a typo)

Thanks that's a handy reference. You missed Aaron's Influence (at a d6). Impressive that you only missed one.

I tried the map link in the first post and it doesn't seem to be up at the moment .

 

[Thondor]

For those who may have missed it or been unaware, cortexsystemrpg is a pretty awesome resource for games in the 'Verse as well as all other games using the engine.

Yup - thought "2 points" and wrote "d2"

Thanks that's a handy reference. You missed Aaron's Influence (at a d6). Impressive that you only missed one.

Will fix

I tried the map link in the first post and it doesn't seem to be up at the moment .

So it is - the map is too big to post here, but if anyone wants it, let me know and I can either email it to you, or, perhaps even better, I could put it up in a google group or something.

The IC thread is now open, with the first scene a flashback featuring Tatjana and Aaron. (You two can play out the flashback, and then I'll bring you back to the present.)

I will start scenes for other characters as soon as they are finalized and posted in the rogues gallery.

The initial scene includes a reference to an off-cameral interaction between the captain and Aaron, but I've tried to keep it gender-neutral, since I wasn't sure whether you had decided to play a male for female, Tailspinner. Until that's set, Thondor and Thanee, leave the option open in your dialog.


Aaron knows, and may or may not have served under the captain previously, as Thondor chooses. Tatjana probably doesn't at this point.
