Out of Game Chatter

[Eris]

So, it begins again!

I have added Bruce, JR, Terry and Eric to the game. Feel free to start posting here. I'll have to add Derek, John, Greg, and Bob as they join Unseen Servant. If any one needs to send me a Private Message here's the link.

My email remains, erisred@gmail.com.

It will take me a few days to get everything set up for game posts, I think. While I'm digging up and posting things, feel free to chat (or chant) among yourselves.

Oh, do me a favor and try going to www.mypbem.com just to see if you can get there. I've been unable to get past "This site can’t be reached. Check if there is a typo in www.mypbem.com." for some time now. If I could get there, I'd pull all the old stuff: maps, writeups, exposition, etc off rather than trying to recreate it.

No Joy on mypbem.

Yep, I'm pulling some stuff from there. The Background post and the big map are from there. The rest I think I have on my Google Drive, or OneDrive, or Dropbox, or even on one of the network drives. I won't get the archive of old posts from there because I can't get to them. What you've got is all we have, I think.

Terry, I guess I need to try their support again. I've not got joy from them in the past. I am dropping them and putting a website up elsewhere, but that's not a big priority right now.

I need to get Bob, Greg and John in the game. Derek made it today. Greg says he joined but can't figure out how to post. I need to get him to give me has username and I can add him directly.

Weather is getting heavy here right now, so I might not do much more today. We'll see.

Two ... Two posts ... Ah ah ah!!

Sorry.

I'm digging through my old emails to see if I can find a character sheet for Magda.

[Eris]

Magda, you're coming through 5x5! I think you might have to get a second post moderated, but otherwise, you're here.

Yeah, two posts. IAC, you're clear now. I might have a roster with all the pc's data, I'll be looking for it when I get a chance.

[Magdalena]

So my emails go back to 2014 ... yes it was that long ago ... but we're on Mark at that time trying to fix the ship up.

[bruce.desertrat]

I might have a copy of Hendrik's character around here.

Present

[terrymixon]

I found most of Lily's information on the site Bruce linked to (thanks!), but not quite all. Here's what I have.

Lily Stone, 897CB3, Ex-Marine, Six Terms, Final Rank - Gunnery Sergeant.
Skills: Gambling-6, Streetwise-4, Brawling-3, Combat Rifleman-3, Pistol-3, Battledress-1, Dagger-1, Grav Vehicle-1 (Air/Raft group), Survival-1

Lily came from the gutter and never quite made it out. She went up and down the rank scale throughout her career, being busted down in rank on more than one occasion. She mastered the dagger on the streets and never quite managed to get her head wrapped around the cutlass, much to her drill instructor's ire.

Her leg was injured during a combat mission that killed most of her team. While much of the damage was repaired, she never seemed to lose the limp. She mustered out of the service as soon as medical released her, not sure she could go back to doing what she had been doing. The letter from the Moby estate couldn't have come at a more timely moment.

She had no idea what use a ground pounder would be on a merchant ship, but she was willing to listen to what they had to say.

Her squad mates described her as short, but mean. Not her personality, but her refusal to back down from a confrontation. She barely hit five feet, but she quickly proved that she wasn't one to cross.

I know she had mustering out benefits, but I couldn't find an email with them. Eris?

[Magdalena]

Still can't find a character sheet but I did find on 7/20/2012 mustering out benefits.

3,000 credits
+1 skill for Auto Pistol
1 Auto Pistol
1 Low Passage

I only have Emails going back to 2013. Still looking.

Most games I'm in now we do things like this.

Magda walked over to the window, What the hell is that? She thought before turning around to look at Larry, "Larry you ever seen one of those before?"

What are you all used to?

5 Sep 2012 - Eris talks about having a spreadsheet for characters, he links to an old message board site but there's not spreadsheets on the site.

For dialog, most of the games use The dialog quotes, and OOC for out of character comments.

I try to use the colored tags and almost always forget.

[Magdalena]

I had been using color tags too till someone pointed out that some individuals are colour blind and I went oh yeah.
