You make a character from the Character tab at the top, make a custom character, the very bottom of the system menu and then add in an avatar then when you post you can post as yourself or use a pull down to select your characters.

Ok I finished my character though I can take one more advantage but need to have my two disadvantages approved. I was thinking of moving wealth to R2.

Will do equipment after the rest has been approved.

I'm not sure what I might have done wrong. I did create a character and it shows an avatar has been saved. Is there somewhere else I need to upload the avatar (maybe outside of the character sheet)?

I sent a slideshow in Discord, involves less editing.

To post a pic from dropbox you have to change the "www" to "dl" and remove everything after the ".jpg" or ".gif" oh you need go use the img thingie too.

Yeah, an avatar is definitely saved. I went in and deleted what was there, resized the original picture, reuploaded it, saved the sheet again. I've also already submitted the character to this game but I still don't have a 'post as' option. Maybe my sheet needs to be approved or there's something in my profile settings I need to change.

The sheet needs to be approved. According to his profile our GM is from Austria which is 9 hours ahead of me so it’s like quarter to 1am there currently. I assume Austria as Germany are the same time zone but it could be almost 2am if I’m wrong. Now I have to look this up or it will burn a hole in my brain. 9 hours.

Alright. You all have great characters and backstories. I'm looking forward to play with you. I just approved all characters and added the first story post.

I've created a subforum where I'll post the different places the group will discover as well as what can be found there.

If you want to buy something from the shops you can do so any time where it's logically possible (E.g. not in the middle of the combat or if you aren't even at the same planet/station as the shop)
Just make a quick mentioning of your purchase in your post

What’s ammo cost and there’s only a laser pistol in the list no regular pistol or revolver type weapon.

You're right. I added a pistol to the shop.

Usually you'd also have to buy and manage the ammunition for your weapons but I will leave this part out.
As most people are new to D6 and with the longer reaction times in a PbP-game it just adds yet another thing to keep track of.

Hello everyone!

Can I have a quick summary of the current characters and what kind of role would be useful for the group?
Feb 7, 2021 12:02 am
We currently have:

-A combat medic
-A pilot
-A thief/ con-artist

Currently we are lacking an engineer type of character.

On the first page is basic information on the rules and there is also a Quick step by step guide.

Take your time with character creation as we are currently in the middle of a space combat encounter

@thevagrant, I was going to roll out a mechanic/Engineer. But won't take it if that's up your alley.

Go ahead. There is an alien race I would like to try that isn't well suited for it.

Is there any other skill/specialty that is looked for in the crew?
Feb 8, 2021 6:19 pm
No one is playing a character who is strong in the 'Knowledge'-Category i.e. Languages, cultures, scholar of any kind,...

A brutish type of character is also not present. So someone with a lot of physical prowess.

So that would be two nichés.

Or you could roll up a scientist who enjoys bar fights ^^

I got a concept for a Verdendrian brawler, if you allow the alien specie. High physical ability, very inept in social ability which he compensate by high knowledge when he can.

Do you have a preference between a no name/just started his story or a character with a more involved backstory?
