Session Zero

Ah, great you can join :) Please just ping me with any questions - looking forward to seeing your PC!

I am not home this weekend, so Monday works great for me :)

Rolling my stuff . . .

Looking good, @DragonDweller62! Just looked through that all, and it checks out for me. Look forward to learning more about your character!

Thanks, BeardHare! Just finished my character and submitted a GP sheet. As always, feel free to look it over and make sure everything's correct.

Thanks, @DragonDweller62! Looking good :)

If we don't hear from @therecusant tomorrow we might have another player come in their place - will give them a couple of days to check in, but expecting to start play next week!

Hey! Glad to be playing with everyone!

I’m going to be going with someone from the Suzerainty

@therecusant couldn't join, sent their wishes for us to have a good game together :) @Aegis had just pinged to ask if there was space, so that timing worked out well!

I've added a coloumn for you, @Aegis, in the Google Sheets character keeper. Work is very busy for me the next three days (my work schedule is like that - I run training courses for a job, and there's one this week) so it may take me a few days to check out your character once you've put it up.

Sounds good. I’ll get in there and update it. Thanks

@aegis I thought I'd put your name in for the columns for your character - but I hadn't. Just changed that now, sorry for any confusion. Your character content would go in the columns Q->T.

Hi! I have to travel for work. So, I may not post on Thursday or Saturday because of airport internet, but I will try to post when I can.

I think that’s it. Please check out my character sheet when you get the chance.

Hey @Aegis,

For the attributes, the idea is that your 2d6 rolls map onto this table at the top of p9 in the rule book

roll_total:attribute_value
2-3:8
4-5:9
6-7:10
8-9:11
10-11:12
12:13

Thus, your rolls map to the attribute values indicated below:

STR 5 -> 9
DEX 8 -> 11
CON 6 -> 10
INT 9 -> 11
WIS 11 -> 12
CHA 7 -> 10


Thus your attributes are

STR -> 10 (9 base attribute +1 from Soldier background)
DEX -> 11 (11 base attribute)
CON -> 11 (10 base attribute +1 from Hearty background)
INT -> 12 (11 base attribute +1 from Surgeon background)
WIS -> 12 (12 base attribute)
CHA -> 10 (10 base attribute)

I've edited these for you in your character sheet.

I also edited your HP up to 16 rather than 11 (i.e. 11 + 5 from Hearty background).

With that we're good to go!

Ahhhhh looking at the character keeper I'm reminded of the words of Sergeant Apone in Aliens...

"Absolutely BADASS"!

Two things to do before we start playing

1. @aegis please create a skeleton character sheet for Maxim (just with his avatar and a portrait so when you post as him, we see his name and avatar)

2. @Adrasthea please check out/edit/indicate you've looked at the Lines and Veils document for the game

When it comes to posting frequency, my current plan is to wait three days for someone to post if we're waiting on them. If we don't hear from them, I will move the plot forward either keeping that PC in the background, not getting involved - or if it's unavoidable i.e. something is happening that would impact them and require them to respond, then i'll take over the reigns and act for them.

Thanks, BeadHare. Everyone's character is looking great, and I'm excited to meet them all! The posting frequency sounds fair to me.

Thanks, BeardHare. Totally agree!

Ah, y'all, thanks for all the support and enthusiasm! Great to see it :)

I like to start games with some lore-co-creation, asking each PC a different question/giving each a different prompt - you're free to answer these as you like, and what you describe will become part of your shared history, part of how the worlds work.

I'm going to put those up now/today in the first in-character thread. You can answer in-character if you like or in third-person. I don't want us to move the plot or action forward until everyone's had a chance to respond to their prompt and you're welcome to chat around and engage with the answers the others provide.

No need. thx

Thanks @Adrasthea - in that case, do please check out the topics other people have excluded from the game, and I won't wait to see your check mark on the sheet.
