OOC Out of character discussions

In response to a request from Argent, here's an area where various OOC topics can be discussed.

OK, I've uploaded a blank character sheet to everyone's Character Details tab and enabled "User Editable".

Slowly learning the system. Bear with me...

Now you've got it!

Keep in mind that other players can't see each other's Character Sheet--they can only see what's in the Description.

One of the tricks I use, if several players need help with character generation, is to create a thread called CharaGen Argent, for example, and make it a private thread that only that player can read (Group A, for example). It helps keep the board from being too cluttered (except to you, of course), and keeps the info thread from getting hard to find what you are looking for.

I'm still unsure of what I'm doing with the char gen though I'm game to start RPing any time you like.  I have a good picture of what my character is!

*blush* Sorry!

I chose 'Dul' but only because that's what a name generator suggested and I thought it cheeky considering I don't generally play 'dull' characters :-)  It is 'supposed' to be Betazoid.

In my background I'd have grown up in more 'rural' Betazoid on the outskirts of the capital Medara.  In the more 'jungly' areas.  I thought that a possible link with you - even if we aren't 'sisters'.

I like the idea of a background where neither of us was aware that we had a half sister.
It does make for some interesting and somewhat unique roleplaying opportunities
I'm all for it if you're interested

Shione is 40(looks 30) so if Cassie is younger then perhaps she was an arranged breeding contract of some kind and your upbringing was more of the traditional type

Shione has never met her father

Well, in that case, let's do it :-) I'll settle for the younger sister part then (more interesting since I have the higher rank!) since I'm 32 pretty much with a packed StarFleet Career since coming of age.  It'll also be interesting as I'll definitely be passionate Betazoid rather than 'unpassioned' Vulcan :-)

Shione is a very passionate person as well
Her Father had no part in her upbringing

So have you picked our Mother's name so I can add it to my Character Sheet?

SHione has been on three tours of Duty comprising 17 years active duty

Owen assigned me my rank and to tell the truth Shione is not that concerned with her status in Starfleet ;only her performance

I had actually.   Melisandra :-)    It's also Cassy's second name.

So if we don't know each other, why did mom allow us to grow up apart and not tell us?

In reply to Cassiadora (msg # 13):

Well since we don't know,perhaps Shione's birth was an obligation that she never discussed with your Father
Or there could be any number of intrigue's going on that we were simply left out of.

Tell ya one thing it sure will make for an interesting trip to Betazed on our first leave!!

But not knowing gives us a chance to work out more of our individual backstories while we discuss it with each other

I'm guessing Cassie has some empathic reception  abilities to go along with Telepathy?

Shione is a Telepath


But all this will come out (IC)in character discussions

Looking forward to that part

In reply to Cassiadora (msg # 13):

If you wish to be half-sisters, that's fine by me. It's possible that Shione is the product of some sort of diplomatic arrangement between Betazed and Vulcan. Melisandra and Sormok may not even have met - the whole thing might have been done through artificial insemination, and Shione might have been brought up in a créche or been adopted by the Kurosa family. You can work out the details between yourselves in Private Messages. Have fun with it...

Under the assumption that we will be using the drama die on all tests, do you want to dictate that the first d6 of lot (making sure that we check the "record each die" funtion) is always the drama die?

If only d6s are used in the game, you can configure the Dice Roller to only roll 6s, as well as record each die. That way, it'll be automatic.

Note that other dice can still be rolled by using the 2d10, 1d8, etc. function.

The Dice Roller has a setting for Game System. Choose "Last Unicorn" and set to D6.

Did you select your name? I also tend to select Record Each Die so you know the detailed results.

The Dice Roller should look like this:

You should set the Dice Roller for Unicorn games and to record each die.

It seems to be working, I just don't know how to read the result.

It clearly shows the Drama Die, but the total seems skewed somehow.

I'm afraid I've been away from my computers all day. I'll do some fill-in from the last scene (the briefing with Commodore Stone) and we'll pick up with scene 2 tomorrow...

It might be a good idea, when you get a chance, to put up a thread that gives the crew assigned to each of the runabouts. I'm finding it hard to keep track of that without a scorecard!
