Please use this section to ask questions outside of game flow.

Also, this a great space to update me and the rest of the gang on absences of any kind that interfere with gaming. ;)

But seriously, it's a lot easier on me if I know if you're swamped with real life issues. A day, a week, it doesn't matter. I can slow things down or NPC your character through unimportant scenes (but never at critical junctures) if I need to keep things moving along. And I'll be posting my absences in this space too.

I have another Karum Station Orientation post to make, but I was knocked off due to Sunday's storm-induced power outage. I will post it tomorrow if all goes well. I promised to send out invites on Monday so that people could get started on character generation, and wanted to keep that promise. The other stuff can wait.

Sounds good. Looking forward to the game. Seems like the system lends itself to PbP because the rolls are pretty simple.

Thanks for hosting the game.

I'm thinking a celebrity, does anybody has objection or was planning the same? Thanks.

I'm leaning more thuggish with combat and intimidation as the main focuses. Probably using the small time criminal background, but interpreted more broadly.

My concept could be someone who like to camera herself with a drone as she document their exploration. I thought she could had an education in medical, and boost the medical skills, perception and manipulation.

Female Japanese or Korean.

Let me know guys if this is good or not. Thanks

Sounds good to me, Nebula and Bullseyepsa. I'm considering going Scavenger, who has rather specialised in tech stuff, and with an interest in alien tech. Would be bumping up Perception, Science, Tech, Arsaidh Tech, Survival, and maybe a combat skill. Int, Con, Wil as main stats, perhaps.

Sounds good to me, Nebula.

Since Ogion is a doctor, i bosted pilot instead. Fit a bit better the adrenaline junkie artist she is.

Sorry haven't started making a character yet. Been busy TRYING to get back to work. I fell a couple weeks back and now HR and WorkSafe are in a snit about getting doctors notes. Followed by my power control module biting it in my car yesterday so that's going to be a week... Sigh.

Ack. Sorry to hear that, Ember.

No worries. What do we have for skills so I can fill the void.

Bullseyepsa seems to be working on a tough guy/combat type. I'm not 100% on that as he hasn't submitted the character yet.

Lemming has a scavenger background who's done a bit of reading on Arsaidh tech. His other skills show someone who's a survivor, is perceptive, resolved, and decent understanding of science and tech. He could be a good infiltrator.

Ogion has an all out medic with a solid grasp of science and tech.

Nebula went with a celebrity who's strong on manipulation and perception. She's skilled as a pilot and likes to have a drone follow her around recording her activities for her fans back home.

I can't say that there's any glaring holes. You definitely don't need to worry about pilot or medic skills. Extra hands for combat never hurts. It also helps to be able to figure out your surroundings to know what might get you killed.

Please how many people live on the station? The place seems relatively small, does someone can walk through the entire place in less than an hour or...?

Thanks

The place has a capacity of 2,000 people. That includes the full-time station personnel, third party businesses in the entertainment district, deep divers, and tourists.

I think that one hour is a good estimate for walking the entire place. There are no specifications listed in the rulebook for either the station or the asteroid. There are two illustrations of the station wrapped around the asteroid, but they look like they were drawn by two different people. A lot of the details that I would've liked (power plant, life support/HVAC, food paste production, etc.) are left out, left for the GM to spec out. For instance, that entire inner ring on the station can't possibly be just for deep diver and station personnel dorms. That has to be where a lot of the machinery that keeps the station operating are situated.

Station built by humans in the asteroid base built by the aliens?

Station built by humans around the asteroid base built by the aliens.

There's a rough diagram at the start of the "Welcome to Karum Station" thread. I'll see about grabbing an image from the rulebook.

That was what I was thinking but I wanted to be sure.

Artificial Gravity


This may prove interesting.

Question about the system please.

How does the attributes synergies with the skills.

For example having high charisma, does it help manipulation?
In the same line of thought does, strength helps close range attack?

Didn't realized the thread was in character with the scientist w... I added an intro post then.

Thanks,
