Out of Game Chatter

[joertexas]

I published four novels under a pen name to get feedback and I got lucky when I started under my own name. Two dozen novels later, I’m starting to feel like I know something.

Your first million published words were just practice. So, you should be past that by now

I’m somewhere between two and three million published words at this point. I used to keep track. Now I can’t be sure how many books I’ve written without looking.

Wow, that's fantastic!

I dug through my old old archives and found the posts about Akus' safety deposit box and the Port locker contents. I've posted the summaries in the "Background Information" section.

I had completely forgotten about some of it, like the possible user manual for the drive and the possible Ancients connection!

AFAICT, Eris we never did discuss any more info other than there were six sets of fake ID's, and IIRC, those were provided to Akus by the Mark Secret Service folks? Am I correct? I don't remember clearly, and I cannot find that info in my email archive at the moment.

Yes, there are six sets of fake ID's and I'm fine with the names you came up with. Yes, it appears that the Black Marble (Mark Secret Service) provided them to Akus. They didn't actually say so, but from your talks with Dara Brand, the lawyer, and Brent and Joxe's talk with an unnamed lady at the hospital it seems that he did work for them, occasionally, and they would like to continue the arrangement with you folks.

To the best of my memory, I think you moved the vacc suits and weapons to the ship along with the contents of the file cabinet. The "Spice" you sold to the Aslan on Osberobt.

And thanks for digging out the old posts!

I've added TheFallenSon to our Player list. I believe he is going to take over the playing of our second Engineer. He will have been with us the whole time, just buried in Engineering. I've told him to post in this sub-board and get to know y'all...and the game.

OOC: Who knew we had a cold sleep chamber back there...

Welcome!

I believe I will be taking on the Role of Tres here. How goes it team?

Glad to have you aboard.

Any relationships or connections I should know about?

I re-rolled the character, and will post his sheet shortly. He has now started as a Barbarian and finished a career in the scouts.

Tres has been quiet and not much involved until now, so he's pretty much a blank slate for you.

I'll let the players "introduce" their PC's to you and do a bit of "getting to know you" chat.

As for the background, at least, read the Background Info thread. If you have questions about that, or what's been before, ask and you'll probably get a plethora of answers.

I don’t see our Marine in character sheets, is she still with us?

Lily? Yes, she's here - played by Terry.

Waves. Not sure if I put anything into character sheets. It’s been a long time. I have her stats in my sig line under my posts.

Someone posted stats of word written on an RPG site I play 1 game on. I wrote over 600,000 words last year on one RPG.

Over the years, I've written...oh heck! I have no idea how many words I've written in all these games.

We've been gaming together for over 20 years
Time flies. I think it’s closer to 30 years.
When this COVID mess dies down, we'll have to sit down and visit about it sometime. I'm in Deer Park these days

You know I've never done this, but there IS this new-fangled thing called Video Conferencing I've heard about. Things like Zoom, Google Meet and Discord (I think) where folks can video chat with each other. Not to mention the subset that proport to be Virtual Tabletops where you can not only chat but play games!

If you guys know more of these things, you might attempt to get us together some evening for a chat...or maybe even a game?

I’ve used Zoom and Discord. I actually am a player in a game using Discord for audio while we use roll20 for the game maps and rolls. So, I’ve got player experience in that. It works just fine.

Man. Imagine if we played live. We might have more than half a dozen jumps in the next 30 years real time.

I dunno, that sounds awfully ambitious...

Something we could use is a whiteboard called Miro. https://miro.com/
