Link correction: link to another game

so what's everyone thinking of playing?  I have a couple of ideas, not sure which to do with

I'm thinking a recently disowned Psionicist

OK, I can scratch Psi off my list...

I think I'll go for a Wizard

So far 3 novice rippers. I'll take pon two more then close the game.

I'm thinking about a dervish holy man, member of the Order of St. George, recently from the deep desert, drawn into civilization to fight evil!

Whadda ya think?

Sounds good.

that gives us a Psi, a Mage, and a blessed.  we'll certainly have the arcane stuff covered.

Yeah we need a bookworm or action guy next.

well, I've got Jack of All trades, so I effectivly have all Smarts skills at d4.  And as a Noble, I have +2 cha, so I have Persuation d6+2, and streetwise at d4+2.

but yeah, a soldier or big game hunter or something would fit in nicely

I can do the action man.

Sweet,with that we should be set.But I will still take on any interested players. This is an independent adventure so players may be from different factions and lodges.

The rippers book has trappings listed by each power for each AB.  Or those suggested trappings, or requried?

They are required usually required.

I hear there is a Rippers game forthcoming. I would like in, if so!

There is a Rippers game in the running right now. The only problem I foresee are too many players at this point. I have already had 5 enter. Of course I could push to 6 or 7 or even split the game into two depending on who was interested.

That would work. I heard tell of a new one, thought.

Well all the character are in the character creation process. If you would like to join feel free send me a tell with your idea.

from what I've seen, you lose about 1/2 in the first month or so.  so starting large is ok

On the other hand, "starting large," is a great way to get bogged down in character creation and the very first scene. While it's true that you may lose half your players in the first month, I've been in too many games that lost a GM in the first month.

I came to my senses later in the day and realized I didn't have the bandwidth to build a good Rippers character right now, so I'm lurking instead.

that is true as well

it's almost tempting to start everyone solo, so they keep interest up.

but that's a lot of work for the Gm as well.

I haven't run a game in a while, (although I'd like to at some point), but two things I liked a lot about a few games I'm playing in right now:
1) What Oggy said. I joined two or three games months ago where the GM gave me my own introduction thread. Awesome way to be pulled into the adventure until your character can be joined with the rest of the group more organically.
For a group that is starting out, however, I don't see this necessarily as a bonus, as the group will want to start adventuring soon, I think.
2) Stay in one place. That works better with certain games than with others, but it allows for some consistency. I've seen other games that went all around the globe work out too, though, and in some cases, like 50F, staying in one place isn't really that easy (unless you count the group's ship), but having one base of operations allows for deeper relationships with the NPCs and the history of the place there.

Just some random thoughts. ;-)

with that many submissions, is might be tempting to say you'll start an intro adventure as soon as 4 or 5 PCs are done, and work the rest in

OMG I completely forgot you guys. I'll have the rippers game up by today if you still want it.
