Re: Opening Chat to start the game.

So let me know what you think about the format for character sheets

What I posted if for my D&D game but I can modify for this game if you like it.

If not then your free to use any format you like.

Re: Opening Chat to start the game.

Yon Technomage - that being me - would have a ship of her own.

Re: Opening Chat to start the game.

Well even a small ship can run millions of credits, a medium sized trader is just for the hull 10,000,000 credits before any systems which can be far cheaper but the hull is expensive. New.

If older and used ... cheaper.

Re: Opening Chat to start the game.

Narrator:
The official format with be set stats. and if printed in an office B5 book its acceptable for play


Does this cover my earlier question about Centauri and the Game of Houses? If you want/need to review what I am talking about it starts on page 55 of The Centauri Republic Factbook. It creates status for Centauri characters from slaves up to nobles.

I only as as I am considering a character who would play the Game of Houses, so this would make a difference if I run with this character or not.

Re: Opening Chat to start the game.

It might affect the ship owner he might lose status or gain status based on being on an alien ship trading.

Re: Opening Chat to start the game.

For the ship idea,

At this time based on character creation only one player should have a ship.

If multiple player have a ship it going to be extremely harder to make sense why you are all traveling together.

Re: Opening Chat to start the game.

If everyone can focus on making character sheet that would be great.

Is there anyone interest in making some NPCs and generic character for me ?

Re: Opening Chat to start the game.

If I may ask, who is playing or considering playing what, at this point?  I had considered a Minbari Ranger, but I am very open to other possibilities.  I would also enjoy a Centauri agent or Brakiri trader.  I am trying to get a 'feel' for this group so I can figure out how I may best fit in, so to speak.  There are SO many options for characters, I'm just trying to narrow down what I would find fun and interesting.  I am very open to having my character have connections with one or more of the rest of yours.

I've always loved the interesting and detailed alien cultures in the Babylon 5 universe.  The first book I bought I think was the League of Non Aligned Worlds Source book, though I do have several others, I'll have to dig them up and blow the dust off of them.  I gave away my Mibari Source book, I'm kind of wishing I hadn't done that now.

Re: Opening Chat to start the game.

What I know we have -

Drazi Telepath
Centauri Trader (I think. Player has said merchant)
Human Technomage
As for myself I am not fully decided. Leaning towards agent or diplomat. Either Centauri Noble Diplomat or an Agent bounty hunter/finder.

It seems there are maybe 3 interested in Centauri
If you can be linked in some way that will make intros and set ups easy and faster.

Let me know as you go :)

Just to make sure I am understanding, did you want me to make the Centauri Noble Merchant for someone?

For myself, I was thinking about a Centauri Noble Diplomat, and maybe multiclassing into Agent. But, I can always change if it is better for the group as a whole.

Re: Opening Chat to start the game.

Why Centauri nobles Commoners have their own game or a favored slave or spouse to a PC are ideas. Well think about options.

One more thing I started to posted Blue Sector - and I'm going to list by level where things are as you play

I will post the docking areas some markets and living quarters (hotels) as well as entertainment areas.

As we go the info. will also grow and we will add to what's in the books creating our very own setting within the books.

I will make those up as soon as I finish mine. It should be done today.

Same stat array? Anything particular you do or do not want included? Do you want me to do equipment for them, or are you going to do so?
