Re: The Cantina, Part II (the OOC thread)

Hi, guys;

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to reply to y'all.  I'm too busy wrecking the other game. ;-)

I have left a belated offer to join in that Star Wars WEG thread.

I am cool with removing inactive character threads and will do so unless, for whatever reason, y'all think I shouldn't.  This should happen in a couple of days.  I am also good with kicking such players out of the game.  This is not punitive.  I figure they are tired of getting pings and messages from a game they have left.  I've never done this before on this board.  Should I send one final warning?

Emessee was aggrieved at Big Droid with Big Words and streamed a full barrage of just what vocabulary had been learned lately.  Then Emessee ground themselves at Big Clumsy Feet Droid' big clumsy feet.  Was it an expression of annoyance or affection, as some felinoid creatures might butt their heads against someone they cared for (not that any felinoid in any Galaxy would ever admit sentiment for another)?  It would be hard to say.  And given Emessee tiny motors, it might be awhile before the target even noticed...

Yes, you can keep Emessee around, to be sent on dangerous 'missions' for Imperial agents in the further away warehouses after the little droid has been particularly annoying... ;-)

I like your experience and improvements in general to your characters.  I will go over them with a more fine-tooth hydrocomb when we get playing this game again.  Right now, I've got to just hold on to the tiger's tail that is the other game.

As a house rule of mine, you don't have to spent XP to become Force-Sensitive (or to lose that ability).  I always thought that Force-Sensitivity was a choice, even if subconscious, for those rare few that had the potential.  Once you do spend the points for those first Force Skills, though, you have committed to a Force-Sensitive character.  Sundancer will train Shira, which means she can progress normally.  And she can have her own lightsaber by next game.

More later...

Cool! I'm excited to see what comes of it.

The most recent of them posted over two years ago, so I think sending them any more messages would just be a bad idea. It's been brought up a few times now to clean up the players who've left and all the threads that are no longer useful, so I suggest just doing the necessary pruning. It's not like they're coming back, after all this time. It'll be fine, no worries.

In reply to That Old Fossil (msg # 240):

Cool, glad we can keep our Mouse One, it is amusing and occasionally useful.

I shall apply my XP soon, I have not as yet.  Still debating what upgrades our Doctor should receive.  I assume the cost of said upgrades will be paid for by the Rebels, so long as they are reasonable?

I agree with both you and Celes, Old Fossil.  If they haven't replied by now, they won't heed any other messages.  Your time is valuable and better spent my friend :)

I, for one, am enjoying the game thus far.  I don't think its a waste at all.  It takes time to get a good game off the ground.  Growing pains are normal.  For Celes and Shira, I'm Stone Cold btw.

Wow!  It has been a long time since I have replied. :-)

Fair enough, we will let the lost players go.  They can always find their way back if they want.

I will start deleting threads.  And I will start on our game wiki.  This will be VERY slow as I am currently working on the other game. You guys don't have to worry about reading the wiki for a long time.  But I am learning just how useful they are for an RPoL game. :-)

Holy wow, there aren't two pages of empty threads anymore! Nice cleanup, boss! :D

Yeah, no worries on the speed of this wiki. I think we're all pretty invested in the other game right now, ourselves.

Re: The Cantina, Part II (the OOC thread)

Hey all, I'm sorry I have been away for so long.  Yes, the Rebellion will happily pay whatever upgrades TwoOneBee needs.  The Rebels always tend to equip their agents better than the Empire (but then there are a lot less Rebels to equip) and TwoOneBee has proved himself to the cause over and over again. :-)

Re: The Cantina, Part II (the OOC thread)

Welcome to our new player, Hoshana! :-)  May the Force be with them.

Hoshana applied awhile and I am ashamed to say I missed that during the back-burner period of this game.  But Hoshana is aware that this game is sort of coasting right now. Still, I am inspired to move a little faster than I might have been.

Hello and welcome, Hoshana! We do have a somewhat slower pace here, as you can see, but we have a lot of staying power.

Re: The Cantina, Part II (the OOC thread)

Ah, the long delays may have discouraged Hoshana.  My apologies.  They are still welcome when (if) they show up.  Hey, at least it wasn't the sixteen year wait for The Phantom Menace.

I have begun to upgrade the wiki for this game.  I realize that wikis aren't the most popular addition to RPoL but they are a chance to organize information in a non-sequential manner, the usual and largely necessary default for a message board.

The link for the wiki is always on the upper right corner of your web page.  Take a look at the paltry but growing material for the sequel. :-)

Re: The Cantina, Part II (the OOC thread)

Here's a silly question I should know the answer to.  How do you view and print character sheets?

Can you be more specific? Are we talking about in a pdf, or on RPoL, or something else?

Sorry, anything works.  I just want to see them so I can start (slowly) plotting the next adventure.  There is no hurry. :-)

Re: The Cantina, Part II (the OOC thread)

Alright, I'm gonna assume you want to view our PCs' character sheets on this game.

I dunno where the others put theirs, probably in their Character Sheet section. To find that, you click "Character Details" up in the top left, then use the menu to select the character you want to view. Their Character Sheet section is under the basic data box in the middle there.

As for me, I put my character sheet in my Description so everyone can see it. You can either just click my name here, or The Cast and then my name, or Character Details, my name, then View Description.

Re: The Cantina, Part II (the OOC thread)

Friends,

Real-life has been busy and the teen super game is taking up most of my time allotted for RPoL.  So it will probably be some time before I get back to the this game at any real level.

But I hate to just let this game grow fallow.  I had thought about just running a laid-back Star Wars adventure just to keep the lights on but I am getting burned out on running Star Wars for the near future.  I need to recharge those batteries.  Now, I am enjoying playing Star Wars.  Celes' game (under another name) seems quite promising.

So I ask you, is there any game with SIMPLE rules you would like to amble into?  I fine with the D6 rules system, I just need a break from Star Wars for awhile.  If not, no worries.

Re: The Cantina, Part II (the OOC thread)

Boss, you're already busy enough as it is, and Marvel is keeping us all plenty busy (as you know we're all over there!), so don't feel you need to take on something more. That kind of behavior is my job. XD

And yes, I'm running two Star Wars games with you in them. Knights of the Old Republic is picking up, and I'm trying to get Edge of Rebellion moving again. Old Fossil, did you still have interest in Edge of Rebellion? I know you kind of vanished shortly after we introduced Amaya.

Re: The Cantina, Part II (the OOC thread)

I suppose you are right, certainly the last week has proven my dearth of free time.

My apologies for not being so present in the Edge of Rebellion game.  Don't take it as lack of interest or I wouldn't have applied for your KOTOR game.   It seemed like the game slowed to a very slow crawl not long after I joined and I honestly thought the game was effectively dead.

Over time I kept forgetting to check and I apologize for that.  Now that it seems EoR is back (or never really left), I will try and get Amaya back up to speed. :-)
