Everyone's characters are looking really good so far.
Did any of you know each other already, or was this trip your first time meeting?

I'd like to have known at least one other person to establish why someone here speaks Shyriiwook.

I have an option: I backed backstory cards on Kickstarter.
The idea is, it'll give inspiration for how we know each other and our involvement in various events. We basically come up with a list of: 3 groups/organizations, 3 noteworthy individuals, 3 places, and 3 events as our "grid". Then our cards say things like:
Are you guys interested? If so, I can randomly pick 2-3 cards per PC (so long at it's not all solo cards, so at least 1 tie w/another PC) and we can work relationships into our backstories.

You had an ulterior motive at event, and pc found out. What did you offer to keep them quiet? Did they agree to your terms?Quote:
You sparked a conflict between individual 1 and individual 2, and it’s still not resolved. How do others see you for your involvement?May 2, 2015 11:04 pm

Though I reserve the right to say "nah".Card tags:
Quote:
Adversarial: PCs have a history that pits them against each other.Anywhere: Prompt doesn’t directly involve a setting element. Incorporate one that fits, if you can.
Co-Op: PCs have a history that shows off how amazing or competent they are.
Drama: There’s dramatic history or complex tension between PCs.
Everyone: After drawing the prompt, every player answers it in turn. The player who drew this then goes again.
Everyone–Together: is as an Everyone prompt, but the players come up with a single answer together.
Open: Player chooses the elements for this prompt themselves, and can’t say "no one."
Solo: Prompt doesn’t directly tie to another PC.
Let me know if everyone else is interested.

I'm not a huge fan of adversarial but I can see how my naturalist guy and bearkat's techy might have differing view points on some things.

I mean, I dont think that would be an adversarial role. More like a role of differentiating views on the universe.

If you wanted to solve the womp rat problem in the temple by poisoning them all or with deadly traps it might be adversarial.

Alright, once I get a character submitted from Chigg and Eldrich, we can get started.

I'm trying, but man is this frustrating. I have to enter each skill, save, then edit to add another. Same with talents.
May 6, 2015 10:20 pm
I'll get mine posted this evening.
Aaaaaand done.
Aaaaaand done.

I'm getting the book on Sunday so my decisions so far are based on reviews of the book.
I'd like to create more diversity so I'm thinking of doing something that no one else has yet (either race or career). So I'm thinking Mystic and either Makashi Duelist or Seer (just based on names and vague descriptions in reviews) and based on images of the species (I've seen most of the clone wars cartoon so that helpfully gave me a sense of most of them) I like the look of Mirialan (mostly because I found this picture). Hopefully those two things go together.

Also, I should say, you guys were ready to start before I barged on in so feel free to start. By the end of day today I'll probably have a character and backstory thought out, and by mid this week I'll have the crunch done (hopefully... depends on some unknown variables coming up on Monday). So, by tonight I could contribute to the game as long as I don't do something that requires dice rolling, and by mid-week I should be fully locked and loaded.
In the worst case, my character will have been 'slow' and barely gets out of the caves in time, and 'turns up' at whatever moment I finish the character (wherever the other characters are, and the onus is on me to explain what happened to me in that time and how I caught up to them).

Then help speed me up! Any advice on the propose Mirialan Mystic (and further advice on Seer vs Makashi Duelist?).
