Couldn't this potentially mean that a party could consist entirely of PCs that can't talk to each other?

[Sarrak]

That's why we all got Islander (1). Hooray!

Also, answering here instead of IC:
Well, isn't it GM who rolls dices? Sure, we can provide you with target numbers, but roll is yours.

[AlleeCat]

It goes both ways. The first PbP game I ran, I did the rolls, but I felt like that wasn't enough player interaction. If you guys want me to roll for you, that's fine.

[Sarrak]

Well, it's kind of traditional and reassuring. No temptations, no blaming yourself for the luck you don't have control on, etc.

I personally vote for you to do the rolls.

[Sirus]

Well, it'll help keep your players honest

they just get two simple letters

Traditionally, "named" bullets kill the person who is named on them. Just saying.

That's impractical. Just right, 'to whom it may concern' on it and you're golden.

This is actually something a previous party I played with had to deal with. My character, who only spoke Draconic and Kilmoorian, had to join a party that was mostly communicating in Western. Fortunately there was another party member that spoke Kilmoorian, so translation wasn't too hard. I'll also say that 5 total in a language skill is only going to be enough to be fairly fluent when speaking it. Reading and writing it is going to be a little different, and there may still be a few things that get lost in translation. Handspeak is an exception, since it's simple enough to learn, but there may be a few words that you don't know the signs for, or a certain gesture that you don't recognize. I'm not going to make you roll every time you try to say something, but it may affect your outcome when trying to persuade a native speaker.

They aren't named bullets at all. They are autographed

Though any sort of major antagonist will probably have a special bullet prepared for them.

Read my previous post. Besides, then you could call your guns the taxmen or the messengers or something.

[Sirus]

My guns already have names. Why would I change them?

Also, have a character sheet! Probably messed a few things up, so please offer corrections if needed, Allee. Language especially I'm unsure about.

[Sarrak]

SAVE 7. And you have, probably, the least minmaxed char. Nothing below 3 or above 5. You'll have some problems with perception, but nothing too serious.

[AlleeCat]

Well, you can join right now, actually.

Also I kind of realize it's stupid to ask whether or not everyone wants to join the fight, because I think it's pretty obvious that everyone wants to.

[Sarrak]

Heh. I don't, being pacifist and all. But I would end up running into the midst of battle screaming, anyway.

Added native Kilmooran to my sheet.

Also, what language constructions I may use with Language skill of 1? Naturally, broken and not very clear phrases come to mind.

[AlleeCat]

You have 5 total, though. INT + Language.
