Character Creation

Hmmm. I was thinking about this. I would prefer that but since you were playing a F&D character I was hesitant. But, what the heck, sure. If you could, roll that up. I promise I won't kill you having Morality and Obligation.

And by the way, if the game has been running somewhat slow (or if it runs somewhat slow over the weekend) it's because I've come down with a nasty bug. So if you don't hear from me over the weekend, don't freak out. I'm just sleeping. But come next week I should be good.

And I'm also trying to get some more players in this game since we only have three now.

Alright, I'm back and feeling much better. Nasty, stupid cold. I basically got nothing done these past few days. Oh, well. That's life.

But we have a new player. I messaged him so hopefully he gets a character all kitted out soon and we can get this game rolling.

Cool, glad you're feeling better!

Now that we've got our full group, do you have something in mind for our starting ship, or should we pick one?

Y'all aren't going to need a ship until the next section of the story (which I still need to figure out). You are all transported by the Empire somewhere for the beginning of the story here. Later on you will get your own ship at which point we can figure out a ship together.

Basically, the first act will be a "getting to know you" adventure that lets me get a feel of GMing. Then you get some contacts and a ship.

You got me along for the ride, I was thinking of playing of a bodyguard (probably a selonian) or a sneakier guy but I wasn't too sure because we have a smuggler.

Well, I'm not really a stickler when it comes to what character you play. We do seem to have fighting pretty well covered but if you want to play a bodyguard, go for it. Just make sure you justify your character on an Imperial exploration expedition.

Alright, given the theme of the campaign I'm gonna go for a Chadra-Fan Archaeologist, skills being intelligence focused. (gotta have a smart fellow on an expedition) Still figuring out the backstory, but I'm thinking he's technically a slave to the empire, but the Chadra-fan species are so friendly they see it as an exciting new adventure.

Edit: I should ask if I can take ranks in Warfare, it being an AOR skill and me using an EOTE class.

I'll allow you to buy ranks in Warfare.

Also, you might not be with the Imperials forever so maybe a slave might not work out. But, just spit-balling here, maybe you could be the "expert" on this expedition since you are an Archaeologist. Maybe you have your PhD and that's why the Imperials hired you. Just some ideas.

Alright, I believe my character sheet is complete. Let me know if anything seems wrong.

If you could just note what your obligation means in specific terms that would be great (so I can work it in if needed).

Also, will everyone now roll destiny in the Destiny Thread. And that will also help me see if we've lost anyone and whether I need to go back out into the jungle to find another player.

Alright, so everything seems to be in order. I have a busy next couple of days with a wedding I have to attend and help with. (Not my wedding just FYI). But first post should be up in the next couple of days at the latest.

Forewarning: I will be without internet next week from Wednesday to Friday.

I'll be taking a trip to the Redwood National Parks to get pictures for a D&D-themed travel blog I started last month.

Noted Meribson. I will try to make sure you don't die.

We also have our 5th and final player.

I won't be around this weekend either, cause it's my bachelor party!

Well, hey! Congrats! We'll just plan for the game to start next week.

And just before the game does start, I'm here as your fifth and final player! I have two character concepts I can roll with, I'm assuming we get 10 Obligation XP? One character is Kaiten'airel'athor, a Chiss Colonist/Marshal who has exiled from the Ascendancy for exceeding her jurisdiction as an internal affairs agent. The other is Lynna Sellua, a Twi'lek Smuggler whose stats will need some work (she's configured as a Gunslinger, but that base seems covered) but whose background has her avoiding an arranged marriage on Ryloth. I can play as either happily, so it really comes down to what the group needs covering.

The Chiss Marshal probably would be the best since we already have a gunslinger so we don't want to step on his toes. But if you think it would be an awesome character, who am I to stand in the way of awesomeness?

Also, if you could type that character out by clicking on the character tab above and submiting that character to this game, that would be great.

Of course, I'll get on it. My only question would be how much social interaction there'll be? Marshal is geared in that direction and so I'd be moving that way, so it's worth knowing in advance.

Have fun on your trips everyone.

@sebastianbruce: Alright I believe I have all the details in order.

@somebox: Looks good.

@ColonelCommissar: It won't be super heavy on social interaction but there will be enough later on in the game (not right away) in which it would come in handy.
