There are seven pregens available:

Ash Ulrand - "To revel in maximum carnage; to defeat the toughest enemies possible"

Grego Kane - "To lose himself in a berserker fury; To make a lot of money; To avoid capture by The Government"

Mina Tanquar - "To get rich; To prove improvising is better than a plan"

Nahdar Rhotam - "To prove he's the best bounty hunter ever; To kill as may space pirates as possible"

Rhugo'shulo - "To devise and enact effective battle plans; To fight and defeat a worthy opponent"

Rik Harend - "To get rich; To look cool doing something dangerous"

Damak Lekar - "To get rich; To go fast"

Without having read the rules I think I'd like to play Grego Kane.
Sep 4, 2022 9:01 pm
I'd be up to play either Nahdar or Rhugo in case someone grabs Rik. Also greetings Josh, good to be playing with you.
Sep 4, 2022 9:05 pm
Well met @Antiproduct. Glad to be here.
Sep 5, 2022 3:18 am
Damak Lekar seems to be my SPEED. Get it? πŸ˜‚

Hi everyone! I'm excited to play with you all! Feel free to call me Chal for short. I'm going to pick Ash as my character. Pew! Pew!
Sep 5, 2022 10:35 pm
Once you've picked your bounty hunter, click the handy "Create Character" button on the sheets, save it and submit it to the game. We can get started probably tomorrow evening.
Sep 6, 2022 1:28 am
I'm interested in Mina. It looks like nobody called dibs on her, so I'll snag it. If someone is interested and I missed it, let me know!

Cool. I'd love to have a go with this contrasting character.
Sep 6, 2022 3:08 pm
Are there descriptions for the vehicles/companions or do we get to make those up? I've got an idea forming for Ash's Khopesh IV
Sep 6, 2022 3:15 pm
Go hard. There are no further details on that stuff.
Sep 6, 2022 6:02 pm
Do we have a ship to fly? Cause I was thinking of making my vehicle/companion a drone if that's alright.
Sep 6, 2022 7:08 pm
I believe there are five ships between the six of you.
Sep 6, 2022 7:40 pm
We could either decided which one to ride getting to the mission or just each ride their own. Could be either an advantage or disadvantage now that I think about it.
Sep 7, 2022 12:30 am
What are the expectations for posting? Is it third-person present, third-person past, first-person present? All of the above?
Sep 7, 2022 12:38 am
Have fun with whatever. The game should be kind of crazy anyway.

After reading Rhugo's background, looks like it's best to keep it as a ship. Not a drone :)
Sep 7, 2022 9:37 am
@Antiproduct, are you ok with me making up things about your character? For example, I could have named the drink that I ordered for you in my post.
Mostly things that won't impact your character's personality.
You are of course free to do the same for Rik :)
Sep 7, 2022 9:55 am
Naturally @TheGenerator . I don't mind at all.
Sep 7, 2022 2:31 pm
Apologies if my first post was too long for anyone. It was an intro post, I'll settle down as we play.
Sep 7, 2022 2:44 pm
I thought it had a better flow than mine really 🀣
So, we play old acquaintances with everyone to spare ourselves from the "I don't trust you - you got to trust me" cliches?
Sep 7, 2022 2:44 pm
I enjoyed it :)

That's where I'm leaning!!!!
Sep 7, 2022 3:27 pm
Might need to rephrase my IC question about the payment; I think it implies that we're strangers. Or maybe we can collectively ignore it.
Sep 7, 2022 3:33 pm
I'm fine with either.
Sep 7, 2022 3:56 pm
Any chance y'all could make your characters public so I can click on them to read details from time to time? If not, I can go back to the earlier part of this thread.

Also, I MISSED the Grego post from this morning, @JoshuaMabry! Sorry that I didn't mention your PC in my Mina post, will do so in the next.
Sep 7, 2022 4:33 pm
Well ... They're pregens... See first few posts xD
Sep 7, 2022 4:40 pm
It's easier to click on them on the post after lots of pages...
Sep 7, 2022 4:51 pm
Nice posts everyone!

I've made my sheet public, so you should be able to access it now.
Sep 7, 2022 5:11 pm
Made mine public as well.
Sep 7, 2022 5:30 pm
Thanks, everyone!
Sep 7, 2022 9:24 pm
Thought I had made mine public, but the mobile button for it seems to be bugged a little bit πŸ€”

Should be good now
Sep 8, 2022 9:49 am
@orklord No worries about missing my post. We've come out strong out of the gate and there's a lot to read.
Sep 11, 2022 12:33 am
Oops, I thought the spray painters were more flavour than a real threat, so I jumped ahead a bit in my post. I'll edit that out and save it for later hopefully.

@Qralloq, do I have to roll anything for my running away action?

Alrighty
Qralloq says:
OOC:
So the basic system is you roll a d6 and if you get a 4+, you succeed
There is a way to set the game so it doesn't add up the dice rolls, but counts the number of 4+'s. That might be useful here too.
I'm not sure how to do it though. We used it in a previous one-shot I did. Nezzeraj was the GM.

I actually think it's pretty funny. So I don't mind at all :D

I'm still trying to come up with a good post. Should have some time for it tomorrow. It's going to involve Rik carrying more shopping bags than he can handle, I'm pretty sure.
Sep 17, 2022 11:18 pm
With two women shopping it's a given isn't it? 🀣
Sep 20, 2022 10:03 am
@Windyridge, @orklord; What do we do for the remaining days? I'm thinking some kind of high society training? Modifying our clothing to conceal weapons, could be fun too. Other suggestions?

@Antiproduct: What's Rhugo up to and does he rejoin us after the shopping trip?
Sep 20, 2022 1:46 pm
I like the idea of training, kind of like a charm school. Deportment classes for example as Damak walks like a sumo wrestler.

I've been meaning to reply, but I'm still figuring out how to balance things now with night classes. I had something in mind which I'll try to form into a post later today hopefully.
Oct 3, 2022 3:03 am
have we stalled out?
Oct 3, 2022 3:23 am
If we're ready to move, then I can jump in and get us into the next part.
Oct 3, 2022 7:38 am
If anyone is interested in more prep/fun in the city scenes, I'm interested to explore/brainstorm options, otherwise I'm happy to move on to the main event if everyone's ready for that.
Oct 3, 2022 8:24 am
I'm happy to move on as well. The only other idea I had was to do some kind of etiquette training. But maybe it's more fun to have that happen off-screen and then reference it during the mission.
Oct 3, 2022 9:41 am
I'm ready to move on.
Oct 3, 2022 11:40 am
Let’s goooo! :)
Oct 3, 2022 1:25 pm
I am ready too.
Oct 3, 2022 7:45 pm
I'll get us moving when I get home from work, so call it 4 hours from now.
Oct 4, 2022 7:47 am
TheGenerator sent a note to Qralloq,orklord
What do you think, @orklord?
I'm open to other ideas :)
Oct 4, 2022 3:22 pm
Qralloq sent a note to orklord,TheGenerator
Oct 4, 2022 7:46 pm
All fine by me :)
Let's do it that way
Oct 4, 2022 9:34 pm
@Qralloq, can I make a roll for my etiquette training? Maybe my Infiltration skill would apply? As Rik is trying to infiltrate high society for this mission. Or is that too far fetched? I don't know how far we're allowed to go with these things.
Oct 4, 2022 11:04 pm
@TheGenerator, Sell it in the narrative and all shall be acceptable.
Oct 6, 2022 3:47 pm
@TheGenerator, just edit your post to add the roll in. I'll find it.
Oct 10, 2022 8:25 am
@Qralloq. I added a roll here when you asked me on Discord. Not sure if you're still waiting on that.
For this post, I'm not sure if I need to roll anything (yet). I don't think I did anything that warrants a roll. Waiting for @orklord's reaction.
Oct 10, 2022 2:20 pm
I was waiting to see how Rik's roll went, but I've added a reaction to the last post.
Oct 10, 2022 2:47 pm
That's a great addition.

I thought we were probably waiting for a post from Rhugo. Sounds like @Antiproduct has been busy irl, but might be back trying to catch up on GP games based on this post (HERE), so hopefully Rhugo returns soon 🀞
Oct 10, 2022 2:52 pm
I'm trying to catch up and get back into the groove - sorry Q and everyone. Will try to post as soon as tonight.

I'm having a lot of fun with the Mina & Rik story line :D
Hopefully it's not too annoying for the rest of you.
Oct 10, 2022 3:01 pm
Yeah, I'll narrate it all together once I have everyone's posts, rather than resolve everybody's separately. Then, we'll begin in media res, when everything probably goes pearshaped.

Oct 11, 2022 9:46 am
@Qralloq, should I add a roll in my next post to see if our weapons are stashed well enough? Alternatively, we could roll that when we try to find them further down the line.
What do you prefer?
Oct 11, 2022 12:35 pm
Yeah, add it to your last post, or make a new post, either is fine with me.

Oct 13, 2022 4:00 am
I'll move this along tomorrow with the summary of the action and then we can get to the heat of the action.
Oct 13, 2022 8:18 am
Yeah, I got nada. I would try sneaking and stabbing those guards, but a) late to the party b) pew pew dead.

If you'd like some inspiration, see below. I like input when I'm out of ideas. But if you don't, or you'd prefer to wait for the next scene to act, no worries, it's just a suggestion. Feel free to ignore/adapt it as you like.

Haha! :D

I guess we should get Mina and Rick on track to join the mission soon. lol
Is it possible that, during his flip, Rick notices Damak getting escorted out? That would trigger him to focus on the mission.
Oct 21, 2022 6:52 pm
Should I have Mina react to Rik's dance move? Since there is a die roll in that post, I was waiting to see how @qralloq handled it.
Oct 21, 2022 10:17 pm
You are welcome to :)
My question here was also aimed at Qralloq
Oct 24, 2022 10:59 pm
orklord says:

Are you still planning on doing this, @orklord? If so, I'll wait for your post before making a new one.
Oct 29, 2022 10:35 pm
@Qralloq, can I use Rhugo's distraction for extra dice? Is that what the chaos factor is used for?
I'm guessing these guards will have some sort of non lethal weapons (and possibly a lethal one too). I wanna try to steal it and use it to subdue the owner.
Oct 29, 2022 10:58 pm
This might be a good time for A CAREFULLY CRAFTED PLAN. Once per game, you can come up with a Carefully Crafted Plan for another bounty hunter to enact before they take their action. If the character you've chosen acts on your advice, they add 2 dice to their roll whilst attempting to act it out.

So this would be Rhugo's plan, just to be clear.
Oct 31, 2022 8:42 am
Qralloq says:

So, Rhugo would have to give Rik his carefully crafted plan, right?
Are you up for that @Antiproduct?
Oct 31, 2022 11:26 am
I kinda left it open-ended for anyone or multiple to grab, at Q's discretion of course.
Oct 31, 2022 2:19 pm
The only mechanical result is if Rhugo uses this as his once per game usage, then Rik or whoever can take two extra dice.

Its intended to be a short game, so probably not worth saving, but it's @antiproduct's call
Oct 31, 2022 2:58 pm
Oh, by all means then. I'll mark it on my sheet.
Oct 31, 2022 8:59 pm
Sorry for not responding for Ash. I should have time to act later today.

Haha! That's amazing! :D
Also, thanks for adding Rik's successes to that. I didn't intend my action to help with the guards at all. So if you want to not count those, that's fine by me.
Nov 17, 2022 3:15 pm
I just realized that you don't "use up" a skill or equipment when you roll it. I thought that's what the checkboxes are for, but I read the rules and I was wrong. Mina might be rolling more dice now.

Gotta say this: I really am a foul mouthed person and I quite enjoy stupid and immature humor. It may or may not come off as offensive sometimes, but that's not my goal really - hence the blacked out stupid acronym I came up with for the specialty shrimp.

Weird times, our times.

I appreciate it was blacked out. I have to be honest, if someone had dropped that at a live table, I would have X-Carded it.

Hahaha brilliant, @Chalrytharendir
Nov 24, 2022 6:34 am
Thanks! I had fun writing that post.

Hope I didn't rush past anyone else's ideas. Feel free to elaborate on what your character was doing leading up to or during that post, or I can edit my post if I mis-represented anything. E.g. I just realized Rhugo had planned to take the catering elevator instead of the garbage chute, but I said he took the chute with Rik, so let me know if I should change that detail.
Nov 24, 2022 8:08 am
To be honest I depended on Rik's reaction seeing Rhugo getting out of the elevator fresh and clean, but I can live with it 🀣
A damn fine post either way, I'd suggest you be awarded inspiration if it was a thing in this system.

Thanks for running the game Qralloq. I really enjoyed the premise and how our game unfolded. The mechanics seem quite vague but I think you did a reasonable job interpreting them. At the very least they add flavour to the characters and inspiration for actions, so maybe for a quick one shot like this, that's all you need. Regardless I had fun and I really enjoyed how everyone interpreted their characters, interacted, and put their mark on the game. Thanks everyone, Cheers!
