Two Game Maps have been uploaded.

The Main Game Map is a small-ish map of the interior of the Sphere showing the relative locations of Freeman's Island, Outpost Three and the Klingon crash site/BortaS City.

The Group 0 Map is the site plan for Outpost Three.

Some NPCs have received writeups and portraits. You can view these by clicking on The Cast above and selecting the appropriate NPC.

As this is my first time running a game here, I'm still learning the ropes One of the things I'm working on is how to use the chracter sheet function. there are no hints in any of the FAQs, but I did find a toggle to set character sheets to "user editable". Try to see if you can open the character sheet editor and make an entry now. Let me know if it works.

In reply to Relic GM (msg # 3):

Well, that didn't work, but now I think it will. I found a page with selections to make the sheets editable by the users...

For any players who've completed your character generation, please note that I'm using the Expanded Cadet Cruise from the TNG Players' Guide.

This gives you an additional 3 Development Points (equal to 1 skill level) to spend.

Please amend your character sheet to reflect this.

Play has begun. The group 2 runabout is the USS Kitchissippi. All six characters meet for a briefing at Starbase 21. See the thread "Play Begins" to proceed. Any final details and tweaking of your characters can continue during play.

The fourth player has been added to the Kitchissippi's roster. He's an Iotian Tech Assessment Officer named Tonio "Fast Tony" Gazzo.

A list of species known to exist in the Sphere is available in the thread Dramatis Personnae.

Mac's player has left the game. Until further notice Mac will be NPCed pending a replacement.

Sorry, I'm going to have to put the game on hiatus for a few days, maybe as much as a week, due to health problems.

In reply to Relic GM (msg # 10):

I'M BACK!!! Sorry for the delay. We'll proceed beginning Wednesday, September 21.

For those of you unfamiliar with my situation, I had a stroke 9 years ago, which wiped out much of my functionality below the waist. I'm in a nursing home and need a walker to get around. Several of my bodily systems have problems, and I had an incident last week with my GI tract. I'm being treated, and am back to my old self, and can now concentrate on the game, so we'll pick up where we left off...

Once the Mission To Gamma thread is done, Lieutenant Zedrick Sloane of Alpha Centauri will be replacing Mac as Flight Control Officer of the USS Kitchissippi. He is currently in the process of making up his character.

Tomorrow, Tuesday April 18 at 5:00 PM MAY be my last post for a week. I'm going out of province from Tuesday 'til the following Monday to visit my mother on her 8oth birthday. I don't know if she still has Wifi since when I was there last spring she was thinking of cancelling it. If she has, I'll be off-line for the duration of my stay. In that case, any messages posted in that time will be dealt with on my return on Monday, April 24th. Best wishes to everyone in the meantime.

Good news! Mom still has wi-fi, she just changed ISPs, so the game is afoot!

Well, we're coming up on the first anniversary for the game, and we just passed 1500 posts!
