Jesikah:
1) Pick one other PC. That character is able to soothe you when you're in beast form. You'll never attack her while transformed, and she can spend 3 consecutive turns to calm you down, allowing you to revert back to normal form without making a roll.

This looks like a decent match, if you are game...  :)

I am game if you are, Jes!  :)

Re: OOC Discussion

Yes, we'll also need to discuss who is going to play who's companion!  Once you guys have that thrashed out (or about so) you can exchange info on your companions with their players.  :)

Re: OOC Discussion

Rain:
So I’m going to decline having Oiktirmon take a connection from me...  you seem to have the ability to connect with a lot of people so I think it would be best for you to take one of the more difficult connections.  That said I’d be interesting into connecting to you via:

quote:
Pick one other PC.  You failed to heal that character once, and she nearly lost her life.


I can tell you more if you’re interested though probably it’s best in pm.

Bring on the PM!  :)

For that matter, might we discuss an alternative: playing our own? It could get confusing playing each other's companions in a PBP environment, as well as slow things down if we have to wait for another player to post a response to an action we give our own companions. I'd personally find it much simpler and probably easier for the game to do our own, but I'm curious how everyone else feels.

Re: OOC Discussion

I don’t disagree about just playing our own companions to keep things simple.  Honestly, pairing up our connections is mind bending enough.

That said, I’m up for whatever.

Re: OOC Discussion

+1.  Game speed may be impacted if we play each other's companions.  I am definitely OK doing it, but I am even more OK either playing my own, or letting the GM do it.  :)

Re: OOC Discussion

Since we're putting our possible connections out there, here's Klaue's~

1. Pick one other PC. You saved him from a monster (though not by defeating the creature, which is still out there).

2. Pick one other PC. You tried but failed to save her loved one from a monster. You still bear the scars.

3. Pick one other PC. He knows the name and lair of a monster, but for some reason he won’t share that information with you.

4. Pick one other PC. That character shows potential in the art and philosophy of monster slaying. You would like to train her but aren’t sure she’s interested.

I'm partial to 1 or 2, personally, although 4 could work.

As for whether or not to go through with having other players manage our companions, I'm fine doing it either way.

Oiktirmon is a widower.  That could be a good match.

However, I seem to have the most connections thus far, so feel free to give to someone else if needed.

If you want me for the connection, feel free to PM me for details.  :)

Re: OOC Discussion

Then I am fine with people playing their own companions, though expect some GM interjections if you fail your interaction roles!  :D

2. Pick one player: he is one of the few people that you feel completely comfortable bing around, and you are often surprised at how easily you let down your guard near him.


As someone who is at home in a lab but prefers field work, and sometimes transforms into a beast of said field, this could be one for Jes.

Re: OOC Discussion

Hi everyone.  I've been watching to see what everyone is picking.  I like to fill in wholes in the group.  It seems like everything is pretty balanced except Karn's.  I'll plan on joining Klaue.  I'll work out some more specifics as I continue my trip.  I finish tomorrow and should be able to get everything entered Sunday or Monday morning at the latest.  Just a little hard to do a full character post from my iPad.

Re: OOC Discussion

Ok, connections are looking good!

I have some housekeeping from various characters:

Allen - you're less familiar with the system, so I sent you several decisions I need you to make on your character so we can proceed.  Once we get all of that decided, I can help you hammer out the rest of your character.  Be thinking on your animal companion, and I'll get you the list of dispositions soon.  (Or someone else can send them to him.)

Esmul - the sheet you sent me looked pretty good, so go ahead and put that in your character sheet.

Oiktirmon and Loric were picking equipment, while Cascade, Jesikah, Klaue, and Rain all were looking good.

Commuter 2, I look forward to seeing your character hopefully later today!

Re: OOC Discussion

Also, I will let everyone pick one non-combat skill as a "background" skill.  Maybe your character learned how to play an instrument, or spent their childhood spider-silk farming, did dinosaur-painting as a side job, or had a hobby of collecting old "home" references (from "present-day" Earth).

And everyone that gets their background done may start with 2 XP.

Re: OOC Discussion

So continuing on connections it looks like I’m taking connections from both Jesikah and Oiktirmon.  I’m still looking for someone to take one of my connections.

Re: OOC Discussion

Rain:
I’m still working on background and sescription, but should we start talking connections?  I will just list mine... don’t really have one that I would prefer over the others so if anyone wants in let me know.  Maybe not the first because his adaptations are pretty obvious.

1. Pick one other PC. You saved them from a bad situation, but in doing so, you exposed your adaptations, and you think you might have freaked them out.
2. Pick one other PC. You knew each other before you began altering yourself, but you're not sure how they feel about what you've done.
3. Pick one other PC. That person has asked you a lot of questions about your abilities. Are they nefarious or just curious? You're not sure yet.
4. Pick one other PC. You recently discovered a secret about them. You're not sure if they know that you know.


I'm good with 2, 3, or 4 there. 4 I can PM you. 2 would mean you met Esuml's family beforehand, most likely (they're traveling entertainers).

Re: OOC Discussion

Let me verify my connections:

Esuml Starshine:
4 Pick one other PC. Wherever this character goes, you are aware of the general distance and direction of his location.

Oiktirmon => "this character"/"his" (msg #27)


Loric Landel:
2. Pick one player: he is one of the few people that you feel completely comfortable being around, and you are often surprised at how easily you let down your guard near him.

Oiktirmon => "he"/"him" (msg #39)


Oiktirmon:
1. Pick one other PC.  You failed to heal that character once, and she nearly lost her life.

Rain => "that character"/"she he"/"her his" (msg #44)


Let me know if anyone wants to add, modify, or delete...  For example:

Oiktirmon:
2. Pick one other PC.  When you rebuild that character's tissue, he gains 1 additional point.

I'm still amazed that no one asked for that one...  ;)

Re: OOC Discussion

We will be starting late tonight, after I wake up.  :D

I haven't seen Allen in a week, so I assume something's come up.  If he shows up later, we'll see if we can fit him in.
