A reminder:

Please list your current Stamina somewhere where I can find it - STA is your total health points as well as an attribute. As your stamina falls it becomes easier to get KOd, stunned, etc.

Hello all- Pvt. T'tasik, your crazy neighborhood Vrusk checking in.

I will be your party member who's in need of a councilor.  I'll be your team Demolitions Expert who also knows how to fix stuff as well as blow it up.  I hope I get lots of explosive toys to play with.  And the other Vrusk should be keeping busy keeping me from playing with my explosive toys until the right time.

I used to play Star Frontiers a lot back around 1984-6.  I used to play it a lot more than D&D back then.  I like running Sci-fi games more than fantasy is why.  Just last year though I pulled out my Alpha Dawn rules (new ones a friend gave me after I wore out my first set of the rules) and ran a one-shot adventure.  So I've given myself a refresher course on the rules already.

Okay, my character sheet is done... pending GM approval.

Stamina and RS are listed in my biography.

I finally settled on a portrait. Couldn't find any Humma or even a kangaroo. Since Humma are described as having partial feline/partial canine features, I went with the cat cause it seemed to reflect a Humma's attitude.

Dinger, looks excellent.
I think you mean IM instead of RS, though. :)

Howdy!  I keep forgetting to look for my rules when I'm home.  I too played bitd, though only once, it seemed fun, I don't remember why we didn't keep playing, so here I am.  I don't remember much of anything.  What's it look like we could use at this point?

My character sheet is done!  I spent a lot of time formatting it correctly so everything lines up.  So don't make me change anything.

Werz, my guess is military and/or computers. I'm relying on my memory of what the others have said, though, so take with a fist full of rock salt.

Here's the six who are finished:

Gyrojet/Tech
Pyschosocial/Computers
Medic/Environmentalist
Projectile/Tech
Demolitions/Tech
Tech/Gyrojet

Wow, 4 Techs? Can I change mine to Robotics then?

Go ahead - that is a lot of backseat drivers....  :^)

In reply to JSC, Lord of Time and Space (msg # 34):

I imagine it would be like having kids (or teaching).

"I'm gonna fix the hovercar."
"You fixed it last time, it's my turn."
"I never get to fix the hovercar! DMJSC!!! Teshtar won't let me fix the hovercar!"
"Stop fighting, or I'm turning this game around and going right home, do you hear me?"

:D

I'm more interested in the "run a bypass" tech skills, actually. :D

Well I have Technician skill more for the security systems applications.  T'tasik was a Security Specialist.  He was trained to set up security systems and to disarm bombs.  Only he found that boring and decided he wanted to do the opposite.  Anyways, game mechanics wise, Tech is the one and only skill that's outside of my PSA that I want to learn.  So I figure start with it so that I don't have to spend more EXP on it later.  Then I will have more EXP to spend on buying combat skills for whatever type of guns I pick up.  I really hope they're Gyrojets because those have explosive rounds.

As for kids, never underestimate their laziness.  They'll start fighting because they want to make some other kid do the task.

I'm the medic / environmentalist. I plan on taking robotics eventually, so I can make my teammates into zombies cyborgs.

I'm the guy whose solution to most problems involves shooting or punching.

Running very late to the party ('cos work went very crazy the last week or so - no time for character creation)...

What do you need to round out your party?

Someone with Beam Weapons to take advantage of our supply! ;)

I finally remembered to look, but I couldn't find it.  I'm a bit on the tight money right now, so I'll have to bow out.

Sorry to hear that - thanks for letting me know.

Is there anyone here who may have trouble with me spouting metric all the time? Here in the U.S.A. where I live, I was good at science and loved sci-fi so I cut my teeth on metric early, even though many people around me only know metric from 2-liter, liter, and half-liter bottles for beverages. I know it's easy to Google it, but one good shortcut I use all the time is that 10 cm = 4 inches. So those 20 cm lizards you just faced were 8 inches long, more or less. I have other shortcuts but since I don't know who lives where, I thought I'd ask.

I'm bad at judging distance so, meh, either system is equally bad for me.  All either one is to me is a mathematical measurement that game mechanics are keyed to.

You know I've been living in metricland for 20 years now. I tend to forget the US system these days!

No difference to me.  Metric seems to be be the standard for Sci-fy games

No issues from me.

I've been in the military and worked in the medical field. Metric is like a second language to me. Or is that Bocce?
