That sounds a good idea Blaze. I am on with writing up stuff about defining characters for forum games. I will publish the page when it gives a clear idea of how it’ll work. That way people who havent been following all the posts wont have missed anything or get confused.
Would this be workable with the system we are thinking about? Could we effectively run an RP session over 5 or six nights in this way, or does there need to be more response from the GM?
this is one of the key things the current Mission is looking at determining.. im going to try to limit the gm… cycles to two per day, one mid PM UK time and one just before I go to bed (I go to bed late usualy).. we will see.. it might be that we have to run it on a longer basis… if so that migth create some strange doohicky with reguards to the main shift.. still time can be pretty flexable 😛
Right, here is a document detailing how to create a character for the RP. Hopefully it all makes sense and will fit our purpose. It is a first draft and all typed on my phone, so when I am home in about a week, I’ll go over it and edit it. I’ll also add more information and links, as well as update the TSN Encyclopedia as I can see it being one very useful resource!
Have a go at using the document to better define your own character. @Matsiyan , it could be worth setting up a spreadsheet for people to enter the information. I would se up a form, but being on mobile makes it difficult to do so. Alternatively I could set up a new topic so people can post their characters, share and comment on them and see GM feedbacm where necessary. As you create your characters, I’d like to know if there are any other modules and sub-modules you can think of, or whether the assigned amount for each rank is clear and enough. I wanted to link it more directly to our RP in a shift.
The guidelines for number of modules are there mainly because we are setting up our characters. They give a guide on the amoubt an officer at a certain rank might have been able to study. There is no limit to how many new modules you are able to study at a certain rank once we get going.
I’ll start thinking up a scenario for us to try on the ‘holo-deck’. I already have one idea for a kind of station based one, just need to think up some details to get started. If I draft it out in enough depth it could be one that you have a second go at latter since it will be a holodeck program!
I suggest adding Diplomacy and Social skills. I don’t intend to train either, but I think it fills an important part of the RP, and is something that can be formally trained.
I’ll second Blaze’s suggestions, and add my own: combat training. Specifically Close Quarters Combat, a specific Melee Weapon Proficiency, and Firearms Proficiency. The last could be broken down into Handguns and Rifles as well.
Because it’s just not a true RPG until you have the option of punching your problems.
They would be cool just for flavor, even if they never wind up being used. I was thinking of Adele’s mentioned fencing ability, I see Strife being a bit of a brawler, Eric probably knows how to use that wrench he keeps around, ect.
I did put them in mostly for flavour. I didn’t really expect Adele to use a sword… But, you know, Sulu 🗡😀 And there are stereotypical characteristics fencers associate with each weapon: foil fencers are the steady, by the rules people, epéeists are the brash egocentrics, sabreurs are romantics… Make of that what you will.
I have not yet had a chance to read Xavier’s doc, but here is a link to a spreadsheet feel free to edit or to offer an alternative by creating another tab (worksheet) within the file. At least this way all the ideas will be in one place.
Ive taken what Blaze has done and added some logic to help people spend there “Training” entitlement it will give a simple over/under/ok in repose to what you have marked as trained.. it could do with some tweaking, we may need to reduce the nunmber of points/rank or increase the number of subjects.
