Re: Character Discussion

After I hear a few more sound off, I'll toss that into the "Pitching the Series" thread.

Also, would you be interested in me opening up an RP-vamping thread so that you can meet each other and the captain?

Re: Character Discussion

Cool.  ^_^  I updated the "Pitching the Series" thread, and also included our current equipment rules (if you want it, it's yours within reason---just remember that the Federation's people have grown beyond material avarice  :-p).

I'll also get an intro/RP thread up after I check character sheets.  Should be tomorrow-ish or so.

Re: Character Discussion

I'm curious, who would you cast as your character? :)

Re: Character Discussion

RP thread is up.  Call it the pilot---where I figure out who I'm working with, and can come up with story threads in the future.  ^_^

Re: Character Discussion

Also, just to make sure, can people see the Pilot-Encounters at Spacedock thread?  I tried switching it from one group to another (so I can write a draft before opening the thread up), but I'm still figuring out the rpol GM tool thingamobobbers...

Re: Character Discussion

Hello there! Your friendly Starfleet Intelligence officer here! If you need something ... say, a bottle of Romulan Ale ... just let me know! *chuckles*

Re: Character Discussion

So, the obvious question: how many people can do script-writing style? I can, though I don't claim to be a Pro by any means.

Re: Character Discussion

Heh, I did my MA in Screenwriting actually. :-)

That said I'd prefer not to use it here. Oh and a belated welcome T'Enya. :-)

Re: Character Discussion

I've always wanted to try Romulan Ale. Hi T'Enya!

Hey James Black, you can't ask that without saying who would play your character!

Re: Character Discussion

Will try to get an IC post in for Sorvok soon, time has been eaten up lately by some pesky RL.

Welcome to the game T'Enya.  ;)

Re: Character Discussion

I think a script-style post is fine for the pilot, but once we get to the episodes it will be serious business. To quote Sir Ian McKellan from Extras:

quote:
McKellen: How will you know what to say? Well the words will be in the script...and you will learn the words! You would not have the script on the night and that goes for everybody, there will be no scripts on the night! You learn the words!

Re: Character Discussion

@ Parker:  I did like it.  This is the perfect system to do some meta stuff.  I might add a tag at the end of each episode called "Grousing in the Green Room" for actors and actresses to gripe about how things are going.

I do have a plan to tie all of this together into the PCs' universe.  I'm crossing my fingers that it's not too cheesy...  :-p

Re: Character Discussion

Oh, that Green Room thing sounds pretty fabulous to me. Especially with the Neilsen ratings. "You mean they loved Sorvok's Brain, and hated The City on the Cliff of Always? Our audience sucks!"

Re: Character Discussion

Posted a reply to everyone who posted in the pilot thread.

@ Sorvok:  No worries, it's the weekend and I understand that RL takes precedence.  You still have about a week.  :-p
