Pilot creation (OOC thread)

@Hamish quick check how you're doing as you haven't submitted Vera's sheet yet.

someone is asking for trouble ... 😅

Explains why she's a rebel and iconoclast! Being from multiple orphanages didn't help either. Love the character options on the sheet, this character practically wrote herself! I figure they wouldn't know she's a Cossack, her birth papers are long gone, we've only got the orphanages' badly kept records. Lots of juicy things for the NKVD's GM's use!

I was also at a wedding over the weekend. I'm back now, so I'm hoping tomorrow I can get to writing! :)

Hamish last activity was 5 days ago, so this is probably not a good week for them. I'll move on slowly in the mean time :)

Today is my last day out of town. I won't be able to get much writing done, and I'm expecting to be home well after midnight. But I'll be able to pick it back up tomorrow.

Don't worry about it. I'll post on wednesday so you should have plenty of time to catch up (on GP and sleep 😅 ). thanks for let us know.

Given we didn't go through any of the rules, I thought I'd introduce the move in case you wanted to go for it. But it's up to you, if you think Galina would go along, there's no need to roll :D

In fact, it looks like Galina is all too happy about the captain accepting the gift, which doesn't look like a move, so I'll ignore the roll.
I don't think it has explicitly. There are ways to get +1 forward bonuses so we can think about -1 forward as well. But it's already difficult to get a full success, and even then, it might still have consequences.

Ok! Thanks for explaining!

No worries, I skipped the rules part so we'd jump into the game! If anything is unclear feel free to ask :D

I'll try to introduce as much as I can since this game is meant to have a rotating GM, so everyone should be familiar with the rules at some point or another.

Just a heads up - my second (and final) trip for the month is this weekend. I'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon for a camping trip. There will be no cell service at the camp (but if I have to drive back to the local town, there will be). I will return Sunday afternoon.

I am very sorry for disappearing. My wife's mother, who lives about 9 hours from us, had a health scare and so I went to be with her for a while. I'm home again but will likely be going back soon. I will bow out so as to not hold you up any longer and am not really in the right head space for rpgs. Sorry both for the delay and for not communicating my situation.

No worries, we'll take our time until you're back
Thanks for letting us know. I hope your wife's mother gets better soon!
If you want to join at some point later, the game is very modular and we'd be happy you ave you back :)

Hello all! Thank you for the invitation.
I am going read up and come up with a character asap.

Welcome to the game! No need to rush, we can easily introduce you anytime.

The player that unfortunately had to drop picked a Raven, but my unused spare PC is an Owl. So I guess those two natures are available as the character natures are better not being repeated. Let me know if that works for you!
(Roles are changeable and can overlap more easily)

Good catch. Actually not a mistype. It's exactly as written xD

So, generally things are bad, but things are worse in some places than others.

"Resources are abundant" means you can more easily scrounge for them, not exactly that you can easily get them. A favor here and there and you find someone who can get for you. Sometimes, no favor is big enough to get you what you want (or need!)

My comment now so you keep in mind during the game of the sort of things that NPCs might care about. Say a NPC ask you what can you get them for their help. In this game a chocolate bar, a pack of cigarettes, special tea herbs or even good vodka are all examples of currencies you can use. These are all luxuries a crumbling planned war economy.

Welcome Shorty!

Thanks for the welcomes all. I have been reading up a little and I have the following idea for a character.


TANYA KOMAROVA
PLAYBOOK: Owl
RANK: Serzhánt (not sure between Sgt getting a +1 and JL getting a +0? How does that even out?)
Skill +2, Guts -1, Luck 0
SEX: Female
UNIFORM: Dirty
BODY: Small
FACE: Serious
HOME TOWN: Moscow
WHO YOU WRITE TO BACK HOME: Grandfather
ROLE: Protector

Tanya isn't the true type you'd expect at an airbase. Young, small of stature and a bit nerdy.

Tanya was raised by her Grandfather, Aleksei Komarov, a decorated WW1 and Civil War pilot, now retired and living in Moscow. He instilled in Tanya a strong sense of duty and love for aviation.

When Tanya was just a baby in 1923, her parents were killed by an anti-communist seperatist attack.

Tanya quite likes to tinker with planes as much as she loves to fly them. Her hands are always greasy.
And while her grandfather did not really approve at first, he finally trained her to fly an plane.

With the war raging on, endangering the State that her grandfather fought for, and her parents died for, Tanya had to do something. Even against grandfather's will to fight. She secretly joined the Night Witches. And while she will take her part in combat missions, she'll rather just spend time with the planes.
