Hey Viking1031, I am still reading up on Frontiers. I have done other Tiny games, specifically Dungeons, and wanted to branch out. Let me know if you have questions on character creation or the story premise. But Like I said in the tavern I want to wait for at least 3 player before we get it really going.
May 18, 2024 2:00 pm
Welcome Cathamber and QuingSolaris
That's 3 so we can start if you like. I added a chatter template to the Character Creation thread for you use. Let me know if you have questions.

Hi everyone.
Idea for ship, If we take cloaking and stealth engines we could probably be able to slip past many dangers but we would be less combat equipped.

May 18, 2024 4:31 pm
When everyone has a character sheet done and submitted, I can help with this if needed, as well as selected the ship system I will open the main story
May 18, 2024 5:39 pm
This is my first game in Tiny Frontiers, and 2nd in the Tiny S6 system... I have no clue (yet) on ships, although, if we are starting with a very small ship, I do agree that being stealthy and fast may be a good strategy.
May 18, 2024 5:57 pm
I think quick and stealthy is a good strategy too. Perhaps a holographic emitters would be helpful? We can disguise the ship to get advantages on attacks
May 19, 2024 3:30 am
A 4th asked to join so hopefully they can get their character up and running. I played with them before and am looking forward to doing so again. I will open the story when at least 2 of you finish character creation and are ready to go. This has little impact as you will each be starting alone at first.
Please post your selected ship system in the ship design thread

I have a bit of the opening to get organized so I will likely get things kicked off tomorrow at.
Looks like we have 3 ready to go
microtheMacroBear will join in when done with their character.
This will not be an issue as the intro is independent and not necessarily concurrently. I will reply to characters posts as they happen and I have time till the crew gets itself organized then shift to 3-4 a week.
Let me know if there are any questions

General policy of mine is players soupy add told as appropriate. No need to ask. You can try and do anything. But the results follow common sense, game mechanics, and are guided by dice rolls.

Psybermagi, I know you are managing several games and a lot of characters... just a friendly reminder not to forget the adaptative Armor effects for Stinger... Thanks!
May 21, 2024 8:49 am
No idea?...
I think I recall ๐ค some kind of tiny mechanism that basically disable and explodes all enemy weapons until after a battle... ๐...
Or was it a very tiny electric shock that, when the armour is attacked, paralyzes the attacking enemy for a round ๐...
Or maybe it was some kind of displacement tech that confuses enemies so they attack thinking Stinger is a foot/30cm away from his real location...
... But I may have confused them from other games ๐

I'm glad to see people excited to get into the story, sorry about the hick-up with Stinger and navigations (still getting my GM sheet organized so missed that).
Let me know if additional information is needed for the opening scene

May 22, 2024 12:51 pm
Thanks!
Quick question, in this setting shall we assume we are using some kind of crew uniforms or badges?

I found this in another game and I have done something similar but this system just uses a thread like a Q&A or chat to track likes, preferences, dislikes, etc.
so I am adding it to the game
Stars and Wishes says:
Please feel free to leave feedback on this thread at anytime! If you are not familiar with the "Stars and Wishes" system, players have the opportunity to talk about what they like in the game (star) like "I really like the puzzle difficulty so far" or "Player X did a great job staying in character during this section of the game." They also have the opportunity to give recommendations to improve enjoyment of the game (wish) like "I wish the game included more combat, specifically with zombies."May 24, 2024 7:36 pm
I like Stars and Wishes. I've only been in a couple of games that use them, but they are really cool.
May 24, 2024 8:14 pm
I did a couple surveys but this seem a better idea for feedback. Not only to me but for players as well.
Just as an FYI : the game is posted as 3/week (thats per player) and I plan to advance the story MWF. It may move faster depending on how everyone posts and i may post responses more often but will try to keep to that schedule for players to post or not post as IRL demands.
I will change game threads for each arc of the story. The intro was pretty quick, just to get everyone on board and up to speed but most arcs are longer.

as an FYI about the system rules : I am using Frontiers Revised but still new to the setting and rules. So if you have the original Frontiers and see something you are not expecting or seems off speak up and I will double check

I use Tableplop for maps in my games and if you want to look them over get an account (its free) and sign in then use the following link to go into this campaign
https://new.tableplop.com/join/fiend-leather-hungry-madness
It will not be critical most of the time but I will use it to track characters movements and if you ever get involved in a boarding action. I do like to use theater of the mind for most situations but as a visual person I totally understand that being able to see what the GM may inarticulately be trying to convey can be helpful

@Psybermagi So far the game feels exactly like a good Star Trek/Farscape episode!
Jun 7, 2024 8:37 pm
OK, you now have the ship under control and as much of a crew as you're going to get. There are a couple of ways this can go from here so if you put preferences on game content in the Stars & Wishes thread or just mention them here I can line things up. Or you can just wander around and I will drop tidbits of info as you ask.

Heads up on shis engines : There are 2 basic modes of high speed travel.
1. Slipstream : Requiring a basic Slip Drive that allow travel at near the speed of light (typically x1/4 to x1/2) and beyond. Various slip drives have different acceleration and maximum speeds without being subjected to temporal dilation as you travel at relativistic speeds.
2. Hyperspace : Requiring and extremely sensitive Hyperdrive this allows ships to move between stars but can only be done a specific "Jump Points" found in most systems. Each jump point only leads to one other star system. Most star systems have 1-3 jump points but some have 5-10 with these acting as military and trade hubs.

Minor update / revision to ship systems : added hyperdrive. The hyperdrive damage is currently beyond repair but with enough time you might be able to patch it, or find an alternative . . .
Ship systems (left side of the ship character sheet) are those listed in the game rules. Ship features are Things I added that make sense for a ship with this level of tech and in this setting. (Let me know if anything needs work or adjusting) Engineering is basically a machine shop, foundry, with 3d printers, chip fabricators, etc. While tied to most ship systems it is not a system in and of itself anymore than the Bridge is a ship system. Both house interfaces needed to control/monitor ship systems.

Hi! I'm going to be on a worktrip this next week that will hopefukly won't interfere with my posting too much, but probably will cut back on my posting. I should be back up and running at the normal rate on monday.
Jun 9, 2024 10:13 pm
Lets go with this for now @Cathamber
[ +- ] Adaptive Armor (Xenotech)
This armor reacts to attacks when worn. The armor automatically adapts itself to any harmful effect to the wearer. Any time the wearer is affected in a harmful way, before any evade or ther action to mitigate damage or other effect, the armor samples the attack type accumulating 1 point of affinity. Any future attacks of the same type that strike the armor trigger the armors ability to absorb the attack by rolling 1d6 per affinity point. Any roll of a 5 or 6 negates the attack. Only a single affinity type is possible at a given time.
Jun 14, 2024 8:34 pm
If you want to sped up over basic thing feel free to let me know general objectives with any specific actions and I can narrate results.
Ex : we search the 1st officers rooms with special intrest in the books and drawers then add a roll. But if you preffer more deteailed posting/rpg/stories thats fine. Just making sure you are aware of options

If I am making this too slow let me know. I am an engineer so think of the time it takes in life to fix stuff, mixed with a bit of sci-fi TV fictional future history. I haven't run a sci-fi game before so am totally open to feedback.
Jun 18, 2024 3:34 am
Would you like to open the game for another player or stick with the 4 we have?
Jun 18, 2024 6:21 pm
Bye, QuingSolaris! It was fun playing with you!
I am open to having another player. It depends on what everyone else thinks.

I opened the game but will hold off on advertising the opening for now.
I will give it another day for Cathamber to roll their save before moving on.
I think I will just move things along a bit, rather that holding back responses due to the time actions may take, and tell you how long any action takes so we can get to the next event and/or you can continue your investigations. That is something I am working on balancing and as this game tends to have more time consuming activities I decided just to streamline it.

FYI - Now until july 1st I am going to be really busy at work. My store inventory is the 1st and I have to get it ready. So my posting will be erratic as I will be working major overtime and may not have time to post. I am talking about a store that has over a million dollars in product and pharmaceuticals and every item including store supplies must be counted.
I will be getting back to regular posting after that as i am taking a vacation the week of the 7th to recharge but I am staying home and only doing day trips so i should be back to regular posting then.

All week I was telling myself to post but could not find the energy. I was like I will post inan hours but the hour would Pass and I would tell myself I will in another hour and so on
I am bipolar and there was an event last week that has put me in a depression. I am barely functioning and it is all I have to get me to work. I am starting to do better so please bare with me. I will be back soon.

Ok I will be over the weekend I will be catching up on all my games.
Thank you for your patience. I had a friend get killed in a car accident. He was only 44 and I worked for him and his wife for 3 years as the office manager for her dance studio where my daughter danced. Not only that tragedy but it brought up memories of when said daughter was almost killed by a car walking home from school. It triggered a pretty deep depression. I know I didn't need to say anything but I am finding that just mentioning it and talking to close friends is helping me process it all.

Not as bad of news, but I wasn't posting much lately because my dog god a weird rash on her chest that made her go kind of nuts trying to clean it herself while we weren't at home, had to shave her and disinfect the area, and now she has to wear a shirt and a cone, so was a little distracted. But she is healing up nicely and will be posting more now.

Poor doggy! I had to go through something similar with my cat recently. He got into the fiberglass batting beside my dishwasher. He's fine. That was months ago, but he had to go into the cone of shame and be washed a couple of times.
Glad she's healing!

It's a post surgery onsie that we kept after she had gotten fixed haha, she is not a fan and is constantly trying to take it off of herself. We remind her its so she will heal, but she seems to disagree with our decision.

So, for the crew, I think we let the Captain back on board? All things Psybermagi indicated makes it sound like he's less dangerous on board the ship then on the moon.
Aug 1, 2024 10:28 pm
I think that's reasonable but maybe ask if her can get the spores back and out of the ship.
Aug 9, 2024 4:43 am
Quick reminder. This game is a bit of an experiment for me to get into sci-fi and I have been enjoying it. However this is not using a prebuilt campaign but I have a few milestones I want to get to (see Stars and Wishes). The opening chapter is wrapping up so one way or another thing will move into the next pretty soon. Post to Stars and Wishes and drive the story where you want to get what you are looking for.
Aug 9, 2024 7:40 pm
A reminder, Everyone should have their heritage (usually 1 trait), their trade (general knowledge with some skill), and 3 traits.
A trade is about equivalent to a trait but leans more into knowledge and theory than to actual application. Ex : Tactical background would let you make or analyse tactical/strategy but not actually be betting at hitting a target.
As I had everyone add a trait that lined up with their ship role I will allow another trait to be developed or remembered in chapter 2.

Thank you! Looks like I need to pick another trait. I think I got confused because I have the forgotten trait in both the choose trait and forgotten trait slots.

I posted this in Tiny Shattered Lands, but I'll post this here as well for those who aren't in that game. I will be away on vacation from Saturday the 14th to Saturday the 21st. I should be able to check in, but I will be scarce, so please NPC HAL if you find that my response time is slowing things down.

Sorry I have been out of it. going to read up and get caught up tomorrow and should be good to post then,

I hate to say this but I am going drop out of the game. I am not keeping up with games I am running and real life things in general.
I will say i enjoyed the game so far, it is just that i do not want to hold things up.
I am going to wait a few days before leaving so that the GM can copy my character sheet if they want someone to take over it.
I apologize but feel that this is the right thing to do.

Ok we have been playing a while so I need to go over everyones history and possibly add some XP. With that in mind I am giving players the option to add optional rules as follows. If you do not want critical then I have a watered down flavor for armor to implement
CRITICALS
Critical Hits: If 2 or more dice rolled for an Attack Test come up with a "6" on the face, you have achieved a Critical Hit! Increase your total damage by 1. You can only Critically Hit with a weapon you have Mastered.
Critical Miss: If all the dice rolled for an Attack Test come up with a "1" on the face, you have a Critical Miss on your hands! The GM will choose what happens, but it probably wonโt be good.

Welcome Draco!
The Tiny 6D rulebook we are using in light on rules, giving more importance to playing and story. So don't worry much about simplifying things. They are already very simple! Feel free to have a glance to the races at the Frontiers book before deciding. About classes/professions... Enjoy whichever you prefer! but the team would benefit a lot by having an engineer or a tactical back.
Enjoy!

Hello! I am another new player and also am having a suboptimal time at navigating GamersPlane, please bear with me!

start at the TSO Character Creation threads beginning, that should walk you though most of the options. Then jump to the end to post questions and we can help you through the process

Welcome aboard, Katzle! Don't worry. You'll get the hang of things soon enough.

Has there been a Tyranax character before?
So, is there anything set in canon about their appearance other than being really big and having four arms?

yeah, we had one for a while but don't let that get in the way of your vision. Just do your own thing and show us what you got.

Taking a long weekend with the family so posting until monday may be slow or non-existent

If I were to play HAL as being more robotic—as opposed to being a human inside a cybernetic body—would that make sense and be ok with the group?
Oct 21, 2024 4:30 pm
HAL is an autoborg
Both they and Holograms are synthetic life that began as tools for some technological civilization. However the specifics are not fixed in my game so you can tweak the specifics all you like. Either full true AI or AI based on an organic mind template/digitization, or cyborg, I leave it to you.
Tiny Frontiers says:
Autoborgs are intelligent artificial constructs. . . Autoborg society is heavily influenced by a strong sense of purpose and responsibility. Because of this, they are viewed as being trustworthy, but impossible to reason with.Oct 25, 2024 4:35 pm
I will merge the two groups threads once they get into contact with each other. Good luck :)
Oct 29, 2024 8:25 pm
I think we haven't made contact yet so the groups haven't merged so we're playing in the separate feeds until one of us makes contact. We're trying too! It's just a little difficult at the moment.
Oct 29, 2024 8:44 pm
Basically I will pull the two newcomers into the main story tonight. As they are close enough now
Oct 31, 2024 11:47 pm
Happy Halloween! (if you're in a part of the world that celebrates it). I'll post once the holiday is over
Nov 5, 2024 7:02 pm
It's great that both of you could already join the group!
You'll see that we have been escaping catastrophic events nonstop, it gets our great Psybermagi a bit exasperated :D, and the characters don't get a minute to relax, but it's a lot of fun!

On another topic... I'll just drop a small note here:
You know I try my best at being the captain you elected and I'd hate to become 'bossy'... This last scene facing life or death situation left me a "too bossy" feeling, so I'll try to back it down to normal.
Having said that, do please tell me right away any comments or suggestions for Stinger to be a better and fun acting captain.

Just try to get in a post a week if possible. Life happensNov 8, 2024 3:25 am
Holidays are coming up too so everyone can just play at their own pace. I am in a couple other games and have missed responding at times when things are busy. So is I have not told you of a break and do not respond within 2 days just poke me.

No worries. As long as the story continues progression not everyone need to pipe in all the time. Ex : I tend to give little to no input during character interaction unless the situation changes during that time.
Nov 13, 2024 7:18 am
Maybe...still kind of feel like crap though, but sadly I'm just not in a position to respond too much for another week or so.
Nov 13, 2024 2:12 pm
Dont stress on the game/story and just take care of yourself. Hope you get through whatever is going on.
Nov 27, 2024 10:54 pm
Hi! I live in the U.S. so the next couple days are going to be slow/no posting for me until the Holiday is over. If you live in the U.S., Happy Thanksgiving!
Dec 16, 2024 6:24 pm
Announcement / Question for players : I am not sure about others but I have next week off for the holidays and know others may have other time off before and/or after.
I may or may not be posting regularly for the next couple weeks but will try to keep up with everyone as I have time.
Will any/everyone else be able to post regularly for the next couple of weeks?
Should we pause the story?
Keep going?
Go but slow it a bit?

I've got holiday plans, but I'm fine with going slow. But if the majority want to put the game on pause, I'm fine with that.
Dec 16, 2024 10:09 pm
I'm fine either way as well. I am around for the holidays and will be checking regularly.
Dec 17, 2024 2:09 am
I have holiday plans. So, Iโll be slow to post, I can check in and post slow if we donโt pause the game that is what everyone thinks is best.
