Group Creation Discussion

Spycraft has six main classes:
-- Faceman: As the team’s confidence man and master of disguise, the faceman is often sent in to gather intelligence before a mission.
-- Fixer: The team member who has what the team needs when the team needs it, the fixer doubles as a burglar and early warning system.
-- Pointman: The pointman helps out the other members of the team by enhancing their talents, but is also the most versatile team member in his own right.
-- Snoop: Armed only with a laptop and a few trusty tools, the snoop is half hacker and half electronic bloodhound.
-- Soldier: The muscle of the team, the soldier is trained to do one thing only: eliminate anything or anyone who gets in the team’s way.
-- Wheelman: Aside from knowing how to drive anything with or without wheels, the wheelman is good in a fight and serves as the team mechanic.

We've got five, so we'll be down one of these. I'd suggest dropping the Wheelman and filling the other five roles, OR, someone could multiclass. It's ultimately up to you guys though, so use this space for talking about what you want to play before jumping into the individual threads.

hi fellow Agents, looking forward to some cloak and dagger

Dr_B is knifed out from the back to prevent him from spreading info and exposing us. Welcome.

lol. It's Spycraft meets Paranoia

Looking forward to learning the game.

I quite like the look of the Fixer - but they're all intriguing

I'm thinking of going with the Soldier.

Just started working on "Gene Bond". ;)

Thinking a D1: Power Brokerage/Pointman? How do I generate stats?

That was going to be part of the discussion once everyone has their class picked out. I'm thinking about going old-school and having people roll, probably 4d6, drop one. How does that sound to everyone?

Old school sounds appropriate to me

Old school sounds good to me.

Good to me too.

Okay cool. I also need you to look this over at some point. It's optional, but if you want input on the Agency, here it is: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScZgd2njopmZzUUs3T7U8QND-uu36G1HDDfrney4YPoO9WFOQ/viewform?usp=sf_link

I have left messages about the bug in the Spycraft Sheet.

I filled out my choices and submitted the form.

I added the D&D 3.5 sheet as an option. It's mostly the same, other than needing to track Vitality/Wounds separately, so it can work if we need it to.

Is it worth also adding a Custom character sheet type to those allowed in the game?
Thinking that it might be useful.
After all, my understanding is that the game-specific templates are just cosmetic? Maybe they auto-calc some simple stats.

Hmm. I think that the spycraft sheets might be worked on soon but obviously guaranty. Are you still accept such or should I recopy to 3.5 sheets?

Keleth said the Spycraft sheets were fixed this morning. You should be fine to use them.

Woot. The Spycraft sheet looks fixed.. :)

I did add the custom sheet as well, in case anyone wanted to use it.

Windyridge is going to be our fourth, and has said that they'll play what the team needs. Final decision is up to Windyridge, but let's talk dynamics and what you guys think you need. We have a Soldier, a Pointman, and a Fixer. We do NOT have the following:
-- Snoop: The Snoop excels at not being seen. Without this, you can be sneaky, but you won't ever be invisible.
-- Faceman: Facemen can copy identities and pretend to be what they aren't. Without one, you'll basically all be James Bond - able to handle yourself, but the extent of your disguises will be along the lines of a reversible tuxedo.
-- Wheelman: This is probably the most skippable, but without one, you do not want to find yourself in a situation where you have to chase down a target.

Hey everyone, I just joined. I think I'd like my PC to be a Fixer.

We do have a fixer already, and while I don't care if you duplicate classes because there's so many different ways you can go, it might hamper your abilities as a team, so you guys would need to talk about that.

Ok then guys, please let me know what is needed and I will have my PC be that person.

hi Windyridge! The GM was saying, that out of the three available roles left, maybe the Wheelman is not that important? Happy with any.

Hi! I like the idea of the Snoop! So if there are no objections, that's the direction I am going.

I think that'll be really useful with the rest of the mix we have.

Great! Looking forward to playing.

They are still working to get more bugs out of the Spycraft sheet. Appears to have some display bugs. Gene Bond is nearly complete.

You going to create agency for us soon?

As soon as I get the responses from the poll (or when it seems no one else will answer). We've got two new ones, so I'm reposting it here:

Agency Creation Poll

Also, I've made a discord, so that we can handle ooc stuff a bit quicker. I've never had a game discord before, so this is an experiment for me, but it seems to work well for other people. It's not mandatory, but encouraged.

Invite Link

I'm going to be building a faceman... er... facewoman.

I think your Discord invite expired, boss.

I think all the original five characters are done. If I've missed something, let me know.

I've gotten WhtKnt's submission and given a note on it, but I have conditionally approved it.
