Re: Out of Character Chatter Thread
So, I'm just kind of flailing around here, can someone explain things in captain dummy talk?
EDIT: i usually need someone standing over me to explain things as I'm filling out a character sheet for a new game/system/thing

Re: Out of Character Chatter Thread
What species and class are you going for?
Use the stat roller linked in the sign up thread. You can reroll anything under 10 - just list both links the thing gives you when you do, and announce that you rerolled and stuff. Whatever numbers you get from that, you can shuffle around your stats however you like.
After that, you write down the various things you get from your species and class - stuff like stat bonuses, how big your character is, special abilities, etc.
Then you choose skills (how many points you get for this is determined by your class, with your intelligence modifier added to it, times 4). The maximum rank you can buy skills is 4, and if it's not a class skill (also listed under whatever class you pick) you have to spend 2 points instead of 1 to get it. Uhh, your intelligence modifier (your modifiers for any stat, really) is basically how many evens you're above or below 10. If your Int is 10 or 11, your mod is +0; if your Int is 14 or 15, it's +2, and if it's 9 or 8 your mod is -1.
Then you pick a feat. Generally you only get to pick one, but certain classes and races get extra ones.
There are a lot of skills and feats. Just browse through them, and try to decide what you'd like your character to be good at.
You were gunning for a Twi'lek, right? I'm considering being one too, so I'd have someone to use that sekrit head-tentacle language with (I'm considering playing a THEEF, so SEKRITS are important). Not really set on the idea, but if I do, then yeah. Anyway, here's the little notes I have for them, since you're probably making they too.
Twi'lek ((( Page 32 )))
+2 Cha, -2 Wis
Medium-size (no bonuses/penalties)
10m speed
Low-light vision (x2 far in low light); retain colors
+1 Fort
Lang: Speak & Read/Write Ryl & Basic; Lekku
You get one force point, which is basically a hero point for when shit hits the fan, IIRC. You get bonus languages if your Intelligence modifier is positive - each point of modifier gives you the ability to speak OR read and write one language.
Whatever problems you have, you can probably herp about it in this thread, and someone will blerf at you with answers and stuff.
I can help, but I'm not too good with d20 D&D-style systems and stuff.
Regarding team synergy, I am currently pondering a Twi'lek, maybe Human Scoundrel, or a Droid Tech Specialist. <_>
**EDIT**
Also, here's a notepad sheet. The formatting doesn't work on ULMF due to tabbing and stuff, so it'll have to be rebuggered for that, though.

How many people are we looking at here, cause if you need another hand, just let me know. I can hopefully turn out something after a little while.

Re: Out of Character Chatter Thread
Gee, thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt.
In answer to your question (it was intended to be a question?), yes, I have in the past. That was mainly due to me having some emotional problems that needed working out on my end. I like to think I have a handle on those now. In addition, Star Wars is something I'm strongly interested in.
So yah, can't promise anything, but if it helps give some confidence that I'll stay through it all, if I drop without a good explanation (or any explanation at all), I'll stay out of the RP/PbP section of the board from then on.
Besides that, I think Aust's shown their interest before me, so if after Aust, there's no more room, that's fine.

Re: Out of Character Chatter Thread
Whatever your reasons were, it wouldn't be fair to hold you to that non-promise, nor to expect you to keep playing if you lose interest or whatnot. If you think you'll stick around, then cool, and if you don't, then live and let live or whatever phrase is appropriate.
Uh, of course, it's not like I have a say or anything. >.>;

Re: Out of Character Chatter Thread
Hardware hasn't said anything yet about a player limit, so I'm going to assume that it's still open.
...Given the fact that his computer's about 8-10 feet away from mine, and that's where he spends most of his waking time, I feel I'm in a good position to know about such matters.

Re: Out of Character Chatter Thread
Most?? Try all.
I really don't care about group sizes; the only caveat is that in bigger groups it's a bit harder for the GM to keep one or two people from dominating most of the play sessions. If others are okay with the focus being off of them more often than not, there's no real issue.
But that may all be water under the bridge, as it were; I dunno.

Check the GM Briefing thread for an update/clarification of how this is going to work. Specifically, regarding the question that arose about "adult" content.

For any players concerned:
Yes, Hardware is still going to run this. He's just had a bit of writer's block, I think. Hopefully, he'll be making a post sometime today for the purpose of getting things moving...
