This Thread is to post whatever you want as it relates starting up the game, … With a few guidelines

 1. Keep it clean, no vulgar posting and follow all the Rules for this site.

 2. This would be the thread to post if you plan to be away for a longer period than 24hrs post a time frame for us to expect you back.

 3. It’s O.K. to ask questions or make comments about other games, but not on an active game presently being played on this site.

Hello and welcome.

I am starting with the question of, ....

What time period ?

So what time period would everyone like to start in. I think this is important because it will help with character creation and storyline for adventuring and proper roleplaying.

Second Question what type of group is everyone interesting in playing ?

Some ideas I can work with are as follows;

   Space Station
   Exploration
   Political
   Military

I will get more in-depth on the second question once we have more players interested.

So for Time Period I only watched the show and movies so prefer B5 centered or as a main base it might be fun based in the show seeing events as a more independent group maybe criminals or free agents or similar. And could interact with the action off screen.

Another idea post Drakh attack on Earth working with the elements planning revenge on them the Drazi always would come to the aid of humans and its their darkest hour joining the fight would be natural and the Drazi love a good fight.

Another option post Drakh War and be at B5 with no ties to the old show much and have new adventures to be had.

But I really don't care as long as B5 is involved and I can play a Telepath I never get to play one. That said assuming a mixed group we have some options but depends on the setting I mean during a war friendly species would join forces easily and if not tend to fall together like rogues would fit that all criminals or shady sorts teaming up or similar clique.

If we can stay away from the "bad guy" theme, that would be helpful.
I can work with mecrs, ( Criminals "per say") and I can work with something like a crew that's looking to do the right thing just wants to be rewarded for it. $$$

We can think "Firefly" as a source too reference.

We can talk about a ship. We can continue on that idea.
If that's what everyone agrees too.

I like that idea a lot.

With that in mind that doesn't mean someone can not play a Ranger. and hes using this crew and ship as a cover to work around his goals and missions.

Or a member of the Earth Alliance etc etc.

we can work with many ideas

So for everyone to know I will be posting material I find that we will be using.

I only have the core PDF book. So if you have PDFs to share my game email is kok.caladin@gamil.com

The more I have the more I will use.

Send em out later seeing Doctor and well need to rest after.

So I have been giving this a lot of thought, ......

I would like to start the game were the players are boarding B5 for the very first time.

So intros will be actually walking off a ship and checking into B5

Now this can be done in many ways, legally, illegally,  And that we can work on for each Player.

I will allow one player which I think "tkolter" if you want this, its yours - owns a ship and needs a new crew (reason why we can work on). As you search for this crew (players and some NPCs) you cross things and the game can develop from there.

And as new players join us they can be introduced like they did in most of the TV show episodes, walk in through the docks or a check point and security asking for the Ideno cards.

Sounds interesting.

In reply to LordHerneErlking (msg # 10):

We are still discussing ideas so let us know what you think

I tend to like all of these ideas -

Space Station
Exploration
Political
Military

I might lean a little more towards Military/Exploration.

I have always thought the Ragged Edge campaign that Mongoose put out might be interesting.

Well we need to talk race and class we want I want to be a Drazi Telepath.

Human Technomage.

Green or purple, tk?

In reply to LordHerneErlking (msg # 12):

I will look into the Ragged Edge campaign,
Let me know if anyone objects, also ask this because it will save time and i can read other material.

In reply to tkolter (msg # 13):

I have no issue with a Telepath.

 I am leaning toward a Centauri merchant.

With a ship?

If all the players are ok with it,  "tkolter"  for captain! and that's the type of game everyone wants to play.

Lets say YES to a ship. But lets design that after we agree on what type of game we want.
Once we have that, then lets do PC sheets.

I would like to save the Ship for last. I think that will take the longest to set up, and it's really not in play when we start.

In reply to Bannacor (msg # 17):

Straight forward, sounds perfect and reasonable why you would be going to B5.

 As to what type of game, to be honest, I don't want to know. I like a blend of them all.

 In the spirit of the series,  you never knew what was going to happen next on Bab 5. That is why I don't want to know.

I have many types of characters I would be interested in playing. Which version are we using? 1st or 2nd edition?

Well I plan to be a salaried agent of Drazi military intelligence they have a all telepath corps to protect the government and deal with enemies so they could provide a ship cheap if she can use it to do missions on occasion and trade dealing could be done also. I'd rather hire a Captain though and own the ship.

I hope 2nd.

In reply to Bannacor (msg # 21):

Ok, I kind of like that.
So let’s move to Charater sheets and then we can start up

In reply to LordHerneErlking (msg # 22):

Ok, I think 2nd ed.
If you all agree please start to make characters

Starting level and I like choice of rolling or set scores whichever you choose. Some might like risk others a sure thing. Starting level maybe a bit over 1st but not crazy 2nd or 3rd perhaps.
