No one post in this unless you're one of the players that signed up in the last thread.
Things won't start until all four post.
Some basic rules:
1) New players wanting to join in can send a message to me. Once a players character dies, i'll send a message to the first player on my list. They get to make a character and join in.
2) Don't do anything stupid in game, this is a test, not a full blown game.
3) Rules are explained in this thread:
http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=30792.0 Character creation is also there.
Morgue:
Empty for now
Some helpfull materials:
(1)Roll for Character Stats: Roll 1D6 for each stat (Except Attacks, which start at 1 for all characters). The result is the value the stat will use.
(2)Choose a Character Class: Choose from one of the four character classes available, make not of its bonus traits and special ability, and add its stat bonuses to your character.
(3)Determine Bonuses and Derived Attributes: Determine your character's skill bonuses by dividing a stats value (Every 2 points in a stat gives an additional +1 bonus to the skills that are governed by that stat), Ranged Skill and Melee Skill and Attacks do not have bonuses. Then determine your character's Hp (Strength Plus Endurance), Fatigue (Equal to Toughness Bonus), Movement rate (Equals Agility), Carrying capacity (Strength*20).
(4)Choose Skills: New Characters are given 8 skill points to distribute amongst their skills as the see fit, except that they cannot raise any skill above level 2. (The max level of a players skills is 2 during character creation, so you can only put two points in a skill at max. After this, any skill points purchased may be place however the player chooses).
(5)Choose a Trait: New characters are granted one free trait. They may pick any trait in the list as long as they meet all the prerequisites.
(6)Fill in the Gaps: Now that the character's stats and capabilities are done, fill out the character's background and details (such as age, gender, personality, etc..)
(7)Determine Starting Credits and Buy Gear: In order to determine how much cash your character starts with roll 3D6 and multiply the result by ten. The resulting total is how many credits your character starts the game with. The player may then use these credits to buy whatever gear they wish as long as the Overseer approves. The Overseer may also increase the amount of starting credit players have access to.
