Hmm... I'd like to join, (Another GMT+10'er) but pretty much every weekday I have work at the moment, and on the weekends I have a bunch of games. But the idea of 'Star Knights' really puts me in mind of a comic I read once, with this Knight-Paladin guy flyin' around in a space ship in his big suit of golden, spiky armour.
If I get a chance to play, I will, so I might try and make a char-creation session or three, at least!

[Felius]

I've already replied about enchanter on PM, but summing it up: You can but it isn't likely to be very fun. If you still want to be a summoner, can fit in the points, and is reasonable at it, sure. Do note that summoning (or for what you wish, probably looking more to the "create" line of spells, such as create warrior) tend to be expensive (as in fatigue points) to create and maintain, and your summoned being are not in your direct control (there might be a exception for a ally with minion, the mindlink advantage and some form of two-way mental communication), instead we gms controling it, with your character giving them orders.

And Yoink, you are certainly welcome. Come make a character at least, and play when you are able to.

Gah. GURPS magic system is mean.

I suppose maybe a healer/assist-y type would be nice, then. I like to fill that niche of 'skills that are rather useful but nobody can be bothered taking them'. Perhaps I could try and get a dinky little powerstone or something to help me out with those spell-costs...

Not that much actually. High skill reduce the cost of the spells, and I'm also allowing an increase up to 100% in a character's fatigue. Small or Smallish powerstones are not really expensive (check page 20 of GURPS Magic), so sure, you can have it. If you wish, we can work the magic out.

[freeformschooler]

Well, if it's pick-up-and-play I can give it a shot. 6-7 Pacific is just 9-10PM EST, and since Tuesdays and Thursdays are good for me and Mondays and Fridays aren't for you I'm sure I can give it a shot.

And using GURPS Magic, you say? Oh, boy. My GURPS skills are rusty, but I used to GM it years ago. I'll post my character sheet later here.

EDIT: Here we are. That took a long time. I'll have Felius check it over.

Spoiler: Anne Maku (click to show/hide)

Anne Maku
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Bio: Anne Maku will always be a sailor's girl, fer' the starry sea calls to her when she sleeps. She's pretty bright, 'specially when it comes to the Magicks, which she's been studying fer' years.

She's got knotty brown hair and fair skin, and is always some degree of dirty. She thinks daily baths are for rich babies.

Anne always rode 'er Pop's ship, leading the way through trade missions in th' Western Void. She grew learned in the magic o' both Light and Darkness, befuddling hostile sailors an' lighting the way fer' ol' Pop.

She don't much like people who take what they got fer' granted, nor do she like leeches or thieves. She tries t' be honest and faithful to the rules set out for 'er, but can get too caught up in making sure others follow the rules.

She joined the Star Knights when 'er Pop died so she'd always have a ship and crew to help out. Helping out's in her nature, after all.

Far as she's heard, some malicious sailor named Krath took her pop's old ship by force after she joined. Who knows what he's up to? Prolly piracy.

Bad Temper (-10) (You are not in full control of your
emotions. Make a self-control roll in
any stressful situation. If you fail, you
lose your temper and must insult,
attack, or otherwise act against the
cause of the stress.)
Bad Smell (-10) (You exude an appalling odor that
you cannot remove, such as the stench
of death and decay. This causes a -2
reaction from most people and animals
(although pests or carrion-eating
scavengers might be unusually attracted
to you!). You can mask the smell
with perfumes, but the overpowering
amount needed results in the same
reaction penalty.)
-Equipment-
Broadsword (sw+1 cut thr+1 cr Reach 1 Parry 0 Weight 3 ST 10)
Leather Armor (torso, groin, DR 2, weight 10, LC 4)

EDIT: Figured out a way to spend the rest of my points. Also removed the tedious spell descriptions while keeping them in a file of their own.

[Dwarmin]

Hmm, I'm not even sure if I want to get into the magic system.

I might just want to be a technical fighter type character.

[Weirdsound]

Hey Freefrom, can you put some spaces between you '8's and your ')'s? I'm seeing this on your character sheet several times and it bugs me to hell.

[Dwarmin]

Or we could all use mythweavers.

[freeformschooler]

Aye, fixed it. Added Felius on Steam.

[KujiUn]

GOTCHA! LEMME RESERVE A SPOT!

What do you define as 'tonight'? That rough 6-7 PM PST?

Also, I've been taking my precious time getting around to this character thing anyway, so I'll get some work on it now before this session majigger.

[Felius]

Today is just to help those who wish help on creating the character, don't worry too much if you don't go it it, not only there'll be others, if you catch me online, I'm generally willing to help anytime.

[Yoink]

Hrm, I won't be able to make the normal time today, but I'll try and drop in at some point, just incase someone's about.
