Ok, so how many have we got set and ready?

I'm good to go.

Also done.

I think I'm good.

If everybody could list their obvious (reaction bonus/penalty) traits in their description, bio, or elsewhere, that'd be a big help for me.

I think I got all mine. I might ass his struggling wealth, just because it's fairly obvious.

I'm also tempted to stat out his 69' Ford Bronco for kicks.

Hi there.

Another player signing in and looking forward to gaming with you all.

I'm a bit behind the rest of you but I'm catching up and hope to get my character finished tomorrow.

That's four of six who responded so far.  Seems like a healthy number of beginning players, yes?  If so I'll close the request option.

I think so.

We can always get the last few up to speed as we go along.

Ready to rip off some lizard face.

So we're just waiting for word from our last Orlando.

In reply to That Which Knows All (msg # 45):

Last minute addition. Here is the description.



Natasha has a 11 yo son, and lives in a beat up campervan. But she has a computer and reasonable software...and knows how to use them!

Well, we've definitely got a healthy number ready to roll.  Alright, tomorrow I will get this bad boy up and running.  I don't anticipate much action to start (but I've been wrong about aliens before) so hopefully Orlando will join us before the bomb goe...wait...I mean...before any major plot lines are revealed.  Yeah, that's what I meant.

Sounds great.

Welcome Natasha, Frank, good to have you with us.

In reply to Natasha Zander (msg # 46):

Natasha,

Frank lives in a trailer he rents so do you like the idea of saying that Natasha and Frank live on the same trailer park? Or does she move around in her campervan?

In reply to Frank Curran (msg # 49):

No reason why not...

Alrighty folks, the new thread is up and the game has begun.

May the lord and saints preserve you...cause the Visitors sure won't.

Hey everyone! Still here, my apologies for the absence and lack of posts, I work construction and I’m out of state and caught the dreadful flu after battling various colds the past few weeks. I’m fine now I took the day off and my fever broke a few hours ago. I’m going to try and get as much done tonight as I can but no promises, as I’m still tired and have work at 4am tomorrow.

Also, I’m very new to GURPS so if anyone is interested in helping me build a drug dealer with some first aid, contacts, and persuasion skills that would be awesome.

Sure here's a guy.

Ah, forgot First Aid. Feel free to switch it up and add first aid somewhere.

No worries, at least you're still with us.  These things happen to everyone.  Hell, I haven't had internet in my house for over a month now (finally getting hooked up Friday).  You know painful it gets trying to do detailed posts on your phone?  That god my office always has it :D

How about a young Con artist? Language Talent is underutilized, but will probably be very useful later. Pretty much a street id, really. Under-aged, but pretends not to be. Has been responsible for a number of petty crimes...

Boy, we sure have a collection of fine, upstanding citizens I see.

Very nice Natasha.

I like the stats and skills, a little confused by all the expedition gear and the corrections officer armor?

And the lack of a weapon, figure he would at least keep something around to keep from getting rolled by the competition?

If he's still a drug dealer he'll need Merchant and Holdout, at the very least.
