BTW, thank you to Esperanza for drawing up a lovely map of the Hope.

It works, despite the geometry being a little sad... please excuse the bad corners, I drew the whole thing up on my phone in the car ^^;


On that note, please do excuse my absence for the next few days, I'm driving from Texas to Idaho on a deadline of 2 1/2 days X'''D

Hello everyone! New player here. In advance, I'm apologizing about my english, for it is not my natural language.

Seijuro is good at teaching people how to defend themselves and at whiping people into shape.

Saber Marionette is really cool. Monster is a work of art and Code Geass is also really cool. Maybe you could use Makoto Shinkai's Hoshi no Koe (the english title is 'Voices of a Distant Star') to imagine the game, as it share some themes (people joining expeditions to another planets).

Hey, I like that title.

Will work on adjusting pictures and descriptions based on genre switching... if it does transpire.

Just dropped the final game genre. ^^ Consider this game to have 4 geres despite only displaying 2.

Anyways, going to start writing up a thread, in advance, so that we're ready to start whenever.

Should I switch my portrait to an anime version?

Nope. Everyone is totally fine.

All right, I'll keep my face then! Looking forward to writing with you all.

Great! I'm looking forward to playing with you all too!

Hi! Just a quick heads up. We'll be starting between the third and the tenth. We have the starting post ready, we just need to finalize a few details.

RTJs are officially turned off! Though we may be getting 1-3 more players (Vis invites. Likely just 1 Though because my little sister is understandably grouchy due to a broken arm). However, everything wlse is set up to be ready for tomorrow.

If you have any questions about the ship, The Expansion Project, or anything else - feel free to ask.

Awesome! Excited to begin.

Great! So am I! (Esperanza might kill me in the morning for posting the ep. at midnight.)

Everyone feel free to narrate getting out of the pods, then roll a perception check. For the first few posts presume that you'll have to check everything.

Sorry, folks. I got sick over holidays and just didn't have the energy to get on the computer, much less actually write anything. I should be able to get something out tomorrow after my kid goes to Grandma's.

Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well. We were planning on PMing you today to see if you were alright! I know there's some stomach bug going around (I had it last week. It inspired me to suck it up and actually get my Flu shot). Please, take your time!

Notes about the Perception checks you guys are making. There are two targets for them.

The first is the standard 6 or below. You will get extra information about your surroundings with this.

The second is a 3 or below. This is because there is a very specific detail you guys are looking for. Because Asher rolled hit this target, he received a LOT of extra information. It is up to him if he wants to share it, but anyone will be able to observe something similar if they roll low enough. In addition anyone who rolls this number or lower will get access to an item, though this is just for this Episode. If you choose to take it, feel free to narrate yourself picking it up, then add it to your "Typically carries" until you drop it.

Feel free to roll for perception again before posting. You may either roll a general perception check, or pick a specific target to observe. The dual targets are in place for specific objects as well.

In addition, just as a personal note, I got a part-time job and will be starting school again (Yay for Winter Break) next week on Thursday. It should be an easy semester, though. I just have a math course and an art course that I'm taking. I'm not sure exactly when the other GMs start, but this should actually make it easier for us to communicate and post because I won't be as hyperactive.

Hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season (Even if you were sick)!

My luck sucks.

Yeah, sorry to hear that. :(

Also I'm not implying that your character is stupid Asher ha ha. Naomi's a bit arrogant, and I figured I might just include some of that in her narration.

In reply to Naomi Brians (msg # 37):

No worries! Part of the game is to play your character how they would react to things.

I had to make an unexpected trip to the country and I'll be back on sunday or monday to post!

Take your time. XP There's no rush at all to post, but if you need any help, don't hesitate to ask.

Okay. So, I finally got my little sister to finish her bio for this. It involved me actually physically writing out a backstory with her, but it was worth it! Which means, unless someone else the GMs know pops in, we have a full cast! Celebration time! Woot!

As soon as she actually sends me the bio ig, feel free to welcome Maia.

Welcome!

Actually, one more question. Are the mysterious aliens speaking english? Or a language we can understand?

You can understand what the aliens are saying. Why will be revealed later. Language that the aliens are speaking that you won't understand will be scrambled using the Language feature. ;P
