Personally I don't like limiting gear, I have 2990 xp

You have TWICE the XP as me?!? How long have you been playing that character?

Good luck getting a Silhouette 4 or 5 creature offworld :)

Why are you guys not posting IC anymore?

I just stepped in as a trial-basis GM, so we are working on getting things tightened up before we continue.

He hasnt.

...you begin to see why this game fell apart.

So, I build Jarash here at 1500 XP because that was the ballpark everyone else was at. What's everyone ballparking at now?

Because JArash isnt just a "Legacy" character, he's a "Living" character- His campaign is still going, which means his 710 XP (whoops, 730xp now) in the GCW era is going to keep growing over time: http://www.thezteam.org/wiki/Jarash

If you die in the GCW era campaign, does our universe implode...?

two questions:

1. Is there any reason you don't like limiting gear?

2. Where did the 2990 XP come from?

I can probably spend that xp tonight. After that can I join in? Or do I need to wait for the others to post?

I planned to keep my lightsaber, it's just a basic one from Phemis, does that count towards the 18000? How much do they cost?

He was joking.

If Tramp is the most experienced player, I think it makes sense for him to be the master to our padawans.

I'm not even sure where to start with 18000 c. How much do animals cost?

@Tramp Graphics do you have final say on what animal I can bond with or does Awayputurweapon? I was hoping for an aquatic animal so we could swim underwater.

I think it might be best for Tramp or Away to just build my character within the master rules so that I can join in soon. I would like to start but where or how will I do that? Do I start on Rei's or Koda's planet or Kamino?

Awayputurwpn has final say. But remember, the bigger the animal, the harder it is to fit on the ship, so I recommend sticking with a Silhouette 2 creature. They're plenty big without being overwhelming or too hard to fit on a starship.

I think Tramp is bringing his character from the d20 system and learning this system, he's a quick study though.

@EliasWindrider built me and Matt's characters from scratch because we are super noobs

@Rakaydos was probably the most experienced player in our group I don't know if he's coming back. I hope so.

But Tramp has said many times that each player's master character would eventually train someone else's starting character.

For hypothetical example:

  • ToRuuk training Koda
  • Mychal'el training Rai
  • Korath training Chundarr
  • Maa't training your starting character

Does that make sense?

My opinion is that if Rei, Koda and ToRuuk all started on the same planet (Kamino is too messy), that might make things more convenient for everyone trying to get together.

If anything I said was out of line, please correct me GM

Mychal'el is partially correct. Korath started out as a D6 character and converted to D20. It's his original D6 incarnation that I used primarily when doing the conversion to F&D, only using the D20 talents since D6 doesn't use those.

As as for Rei, that character is still on Concordia.

I seem to recall @awayputurwpn being a decent GM. I havnt been following the topic, though, so I dont know what's changed.

He is. RichardBuxton highly recommended him.

I can do the building. Please send me your most recent character sheet and I'll see what kind of magic we can work :)

Your creature won't cost anything, provided it makes sense for your character and you're able to form a bond with it via your talent.

I think it'd be best to have you start on Kamino and we'll just write you into the action.

I agree.

It's because Killeebeardhawk quit, leaving us without a GM until I asked Awayputurwpn to take over.

When will you start again? I should be ready tonight!

My xp came from nowhere, and everywhere.

My equipment is needed.

With 18000 could I hire a smuggler to ship it?

The Milinium Falcon is only Silluette 4. Unless you're hiring Booster Terrek and his Errant Venture, there's no way someone is shipping a silluette 5 animal.

Pretty much. Really, Silhouette 2 is an ideal size for a riding beast. You don't really need anything bigger.

We'll need to have all new & revised characters in the hopper before we pick up the narrative. So go ahead and input your character to swsheet.com and post the link, and I'll give it a once over!

18,000 credits' worth of gear. Not 18,000 credits in your pocket ;) I do like the way you think, though.

There's also a question (a little metagamey, but still) of how useful or practical such a creature will be. If we're talking an aqua monster or krayt dragon or somesuch, then transportation logistics it is really the least of your problems :) (even though it is a sizable problem)

As it stands, your backstory with the childless aiwha is approved, and we can worry about silhouette once you complete your character build.

Are there space suits large enough for creatures?

This gave me the idea to strap a hyperdrive to one!

As for when we'll get back started, that's up to awayputurwpn.

Better answers please, Matt! My questions were serious.

1. Who gave you 2990 XP?

2. My question was why don't you like limiting gear, and you answered because your equipment is needed. So it's not the abstract concept that you dislike, but rather the idea that you personally feel like you need everything that you've put on your character sheet?

There are hyperspace-capable animals :) as well as animals that can survive in space. As for space suits for creatures, you'd probably have to get them custom-made. Again though, I like the way you think. But I wouldn't go to far as to allow a hyperdrive to be strapped to a creature ;)

I was mostly joking but if your saying it could be possible. Which ones? I remember there's space whales that make (?) Hyper drive fuel.

Would any of them be reasonable?

If not I'll settle for an Aiwha. If I cant take it with I'll just have to find a new friend in the next planet.

I'll just need to approve all revisions and new additions. And I believe we're still working out how to do revisions.

Thanks, @Mychal'el and @EliasWindrider , for rolling with the suggestions. We were able to work out a good compromise where @Mychal'el came out with a slightly nerfed character, and got his speeder bike as a GM-granted "resource." I'm still trying to figure out what to do with his tricked-out ship. But thanks again for getting it under control, guys.

@Mychal'el 's character is approved , aside from the shuttle (which is still pending)— provided that you are comfortable with the long list of talents and powers that you have, Mychal'el. Remember my caveat that players must understand what everything on their character sheet does :)

A most fitting question :) I would venture to answer, "probably not," but that could change based on what the game turns out to be like. As it stands though, I really do like your aiwha story.

Actually, the creature you're referring to ate starship fuel, it didn't produce it.

I'm pretty sure he's joking. When Elias built his character for him, he built him at 2000 XP even.

I'm going to double check other aquatic animals that might serve better as a partner than a mount. I'll keep you updated.

Fyi I'm looking through this list:

Let me know if there's others.

@Matt Skywalker please confirm :) And please update your character sheet with XP totals, weapons & armor, personal gear, description, and just a couple sentences in the backstory about how he came by a lightsaber and his Force training. Please also explain on your character sheet about why he wants to restore the Jedi Order. I would also like to see a bit on your Morality section, how his strength of Independance & weakness of Coldness interacts with his Motivation. You have a solid frame of a character; I'd just like to see it fleshed out a teensy bit.

@Tramp Graphics @Matt Skywalker @Rakaydos

How close to completing your revised characters?

I'm excited to play! :)

Unless Awayputurwpn specifically demands any changes, Korath has been done. My suggestion while you're waiting, is to get started on building your starting character so that he/she is ready to go.
