I basically just switched it to group 0, I think...please let me know if it works now.

I have not run a game in some time, and it is a tad less intuitive than I'd hoped now that I'm actually doing it again.  I don't see a way to edit thread permissions directly, for instance.

Directly?  Sadly you have to go into the GM menu and edit players/characters to do that.

Yeah, if you go into the GM menu, you can bring up a table of all characters, and edit permissions for everyone like that with little check-boxes.

I can see where I'd give access to the labeled groups (1-E), but not "public"...unless that is Z?

From what I recall, anyone can see stuff in Group 0, which is also our default group.

Ohhhhh, neat.  Thank you.

Oriana is correct.  Basically, Group 0 is where you want to put only the threads necessary for players looking to join.  I usually then stick player relevant stuff and OOC in group 1, then game threads in 2+.

Most of the games I've played in have their set-up notices, RTJ, creation information, etc in Group 0, and then the actual game threads and OOC and what-not tagged as Group 1+, so everyone and their brother can't stumble by and read it.

Edit: Or Hector could be reading my mind. Out of my head, Hector! :)

Never!

And for those interested, there's a pic in my bio now of Hector.  Specifically, the TOR character he's based on.  Picture shows him better than I could describe after all.

Handsome fellow, indeed. *sagenod*

So I see the RTJ post is edited to no more smugglers or pilots, so I'm assuming we're the smugglers and pilots.  <.<

Are either of you heavily int-based or cha-based, as far as skills go? I'm waffling between a few choices to fill in my last slots, and don't want to overlap too terribly much in one spot at the expense of another.

I received a surprising number of pilot RTJs.  Still looking for a good jedi.

That's shocking.  I mean, really shocking.  I assumed that everyone would be sending in their Jedi ideas. o.O

Why yes, I am a smuggler and a pilot...

Its amusing though that we're looking for Jedi still... then again, you did specify GOOD Jedi.  There are often many... not so good Jedi.

I haven't started working on the character yet, but Hector is likely to be a Dex/Cha build, with enough Int to get the skill focuses needed - Pilot, Knowledge: Underworld, and probably mechanics.

Basically, he's a Smuggler with a Heart of Gold, and hands that might as well be.

Well I should say that I have some Jedi RTJs, but am waiting on one person who said he or she is at work and will be providing the actual RTJ later.  I shouldn't have done this to myself though, I hate telling people "No"...

I'm the same way, GM.  Usually though, the problem solves itself for me.  Whenever I give constructive criticism, as friendly as I can be... I tend to type a lot.  So, when people see like, two or three paragraphs of input - no matter how friendly or helpful - those who aren't truly interested tend to just disappear.

It helps weed out the 'noobs' I find.

Surprisingly, most people handle being turned down for games here fairly graciously.  Just say 'You had a great concept, but unfortunately I received <X so many> RTJs for only a few slots, and went with someone else.'

(Goodness knows I've failed to make the cut on plenty of games. The only time it bugs me is when I spend two days working on a character with a GM, to be turned away -after- that point.)



I can save you at least one skill point there, Hector.  Ori's going down the Tech Specialist tree, if you have something better to put that Mechanics point in. :)



...so, so leaving that one alone. <.<

I'll think about it, Oriana, but I do like to build my character according to the background and such as well.  Mechanic fits, since he does (did) a lot of the work on his starship.  We'll see though... he did also have a crew member along who was proficient at that for a while as well.

Also, ahem, *Heyooo*.

I made an actual soldier!  Twi'leks are awesome!

Yes, yes they are. I was dithering earlier on whether or not I wanted to go Twi'lek also, but I've decided on human. :)

You know what's fun to play?  Barabel.  Not enough games suit that kind of PC though...

Oof. There's the hard part of the character sheet done.  Now onto the fun part of buying stuff.

Twi'lek's are awesome indeed!

All right, time to get started on my character sheet...

Still working on the description.  At least I don't have to go hunting for a portrait!

There's a surprising amount of decent female Twi'lek portraits, actually.
