Alright, that sounds good. Will the game be ready once Stas gets his skills and stunts?

[Sergius]

Yeah, I've outlined a starting scenario so I think we would be good to go.

Where it goes from there will depend on the characters' actions.

[GentlemanRaptor]

Ah, Stas, you going to get your skills up?

[Sergius]

Ah, Stas, you going to get your skills up?

I'm going to pm him.

I recommend everyone to set this thread to Notify.

If there's no reply by this weekend we'll just start and let him join whenever.

You can also follow this link to see unread replies to every thread you post in automatically. It's what I always use.

Yeah but it's easy to miss updates that way, specially if we're all active participants in this thread. This is the only thread I have set to notify for that reason.

[GentlemanRaptor]

I'm gonna be out of action from this Saturday until August 2nd. Trip to Minnesota. Feel free to NPC me until I get back, if the game starts without me.

[Sergius]

Would you guys prefer to wait or is it ok to play with 2 players for this week? My set-up post is good and ready so it's your call.

[Sergius]

Anyway, while we decide, I'll post some more meta stuff.

One thing it would be useful to know if ya guys want to name your ship. Right now it's some generic type of ship but we can get to customizin' later on. Probably something to do with Aspects and Stunts in the player sheets themselves.

After the first IC post, everything in the open in this thread should be IC. Put your OOC chatter in spoiler tags. Does that sound reasonable?

I'm going to set up a room in Roll20, mostly for dice rolls. Say in advance what you're going to roll for in this thread, THEN roll in the Roll20 site (with an adequate description on the roll so they match), THEN make another post here and paste the result. We deal with results/aspect invokes in follow up posts.

Oh yeah, if anyone can't/doesn't want to set up a Roll20 user, just ask me and I'll roll for you. I want to give each one the option to roll on their own to get a bit of a PnP feeling.

I recommend keeping edits to a minimum. Better to clutter with additional posts than make others suspicious that there isn't fair play

* Sirus fires up a pirate ship name generator

...since we're a bunch of down-on-our-luck bumbling fools, how about Neptune's Damnation?

[Kadzar]

I like the way that the "Neptune" part works as a reference to both the nautical and spacey nature of the setting.

[Sergius]

Oh yeah, I forgot, we're supposed to come up together with the setting "big issues".

They are a couple of things (aspects you could say) for the adventure, that are either "current issues" or "impending issues" (any combination of both). For pirates, I assume one issue would be related to the law (the Royal Navy, maybe?) being all over the place pestering buccaneers.

Suggestions?

[Kadzar]

An empire of space orcs
An army of immortal supersoldiers who have just awoken from their long slumber
A sorceress with plans for galactic domination
Other pirates competing with us for lost treasures
A little girl we come across. Ravens tell her secrets. Terrible, terrible secrets all ravens know but little girls must not.
A vast conspiracy
The snake goddess foretells war. In the palace of the plain, a warrior will rise. The terrible emissary will rise.
Bad dudes are gathering up some sort of McGuffins of power.
Or maybe the bad dudes are looking for a certain place that will give them power.
An incomprehensible alien species that's slowly taking over the galaxy
A group who helps fight the Royal Navy but may turn out worse than them if they gain power
Vampirates
Poverty
Failure

[Sirus]

Poverty would very much be a current issue, and will probably remain one for some time as we struggle to hit it big

For long term issues, how about an impending conflict between two (or more) major powers? Think English vs Spanish as they compete for colonies and resources. It could eventually ratchet up into a full-blown war, maybe.

Sorry for being AWOL for the past week, work and things got in the way, I'll get my character set up soon.
