OOC chitchat

you're hired!

Moofs - lemme know when you're ready to be thrown in and we can work on the intro mechanics.

I'm ready to go whenever, with the caveat that I haven't wrapped my head around the dice mechanics and I'm not sure what to do about equipment so I played it safe with a weapon and stim pack.

I'd say go with the DW mindset, what would your character do when 'X' happens and then see what to roll to do that. I for example should probably not be the one driving, I'm the shortest member of the team and highly exciteable if you're read our banter.

No worries on dice mechanics. Just ask and I'll happily tell you what dice to roll and how to compute stuff (and how I got there). In the end, difficulty dice are usually modified by me in some regard because we want the game to flow well, but you'll learn how to roll skill/attribute rolls quickly.

I'll start working you in.

By way of background -- should Xenia be someone you guys know from past jobs/interactions? Could be she had a deal go south. Perhaps she was hired by the crew that lifted Lin and ditched to avoid paying her?

That'd be more her decision or maybe there's a reason she wants to find Lin but won't tell us... Da da daaaaaaaaa

I'm just here for the ship. Call me an opportunist? ;)

Someone you guys would know then, and be comfortable with -- but, y'know. you had your pilot. :)

The GM in me feels like it's a bad idea for her to also be seeking Lin; generally better to let dropped characters fade from the story than to make them into red herrings.

Also, if we (or someone) knows her that will make the introduction into the team easier. We need a pilot, and hey, here's this woman I met back on Talon XII when I was still a young upstart. We nearly got arrested for swindling a councilor and joy riding their top of the line speeder bike through a busy market and into a hotel pool.
