Re: Opening Chat to start the game.
Likewise my friend. I really love the Centauri too, I am a big lover of intrigue. The Bab 5 game I ran on RPOL years ago centered around an intrigue dealing with a Centauri family and the heir to its misfortune: the Lady Neriel Valini and her old valet, Vinda Valo. I nearly played Vinda here in fact. I still have the Centauri book for first edition somewhere around here.
But the pak'ma'ra really are intriguing, simply because they are so very alien in so many respects. The idea of playing one as a Ranger was simply too good an opportunity to pass on. I promise, if Q'voth'zal dies, I'll see if the Narrator will let me play Vinda and we can shake up the Centaurum together :)
Right now, I'm just trying to decide how or why my character would end up onboard a ship with everyone else :P
