I played in another system what has xp goals, it is super hero based and works well.

May I suggest.

STANDARD GOAL: When you host or run a party at a new location, earn 1 XP (for the entire crew).
MAJOR GOAL: ??? earn 3 XP
PERSONAL GOAL: Write a goal for your character to complete during the game. You get one goal which will earn you XP.
MAJOR PERSONAL: ??? earn 3 XP

The major ones should be something big.
Like getting a plants to join the federation of party plants.
The Ricepudding meeting someone that has actually met his sister.
Captain Ron saving another spaceship from destruction.

Just an idea.

And yes I will take your suggestion as my personal goal as just fit so well.

In reply to The Ricepudding (msg # 44):

I was thinking about that as well, but seeing as we're a weekly posting forum game, major goals would take an insane amount of time playing to get to them, so I'm content for now to focus on just two goals. I might include/unlock different goals as we play and meet people. They would probably be quests and stuff.

Oof, how does the youth say it? "Big Mood"?

Yes sorry about that.

It came about after Ron post.  He seems to know all about The Ricepudding but The Ricepudding backstory was clear he only been around for a little while.

The only way this could make any sense was to do what I just did.
However it could be fun with The Ricepudding not at all sure what going on but other clearly think he does (so it party ron's fault).

It has echo's of Arthur dent.
Also did you work out why the data banks think he 21 years old?

Didn't mean to imply Captain Ron knew the ricepudding well, only that he knew officer ricepudding had been assigned to his ship amd saw the gooping that happened at the party. There is conveniently a "goop free" zone already designated on the ship (I thought it might make for some fun shenanigans later) but afaik he doesnt have any direct experience with ricepudding unless u want him to

Well if everybodies happy to go with what I have done this could be fun.

So I suggest that in Captain Ron memory he worked along side The Ricepudding one or two times.  The Ricepudding being drafted in as medical worker.

This way you are open to write what you like (with in reason).
The Ricepudding has no memory of this and far as he can remember he only 37 days old.
What the true reality of this is, is well that like loads of things:- up for debate.

It also mean GM can introduce all sorts of thing to do with The Ricepudding past without any problem.  Old friends, old enemy and whole area of rp this game will  avoid as this game is PG and not M or A rated.

As far as I see this just added depth to the game and allows you two some extra fun.

Oh, it’s no problem at all! Just the existential part hit me :P

And I know what 21 is half of ;)

It’s my birthday! Take a free XP! Also, I’ll probably be out this weekend.

Oh that make you an Aquarius.  That bad news if Captain Ron was hoping to stay sane.

Thanks, happy birthday!

Err guys I just reading the rules and like we make big mistake.

The dice should be 2d6 not 1d20 (+skill level, +GM adjustment).

Skill Check Difficulties

---

6 A relatively simple task that is still more than
the PC would usually be expected to manage
in their regular background. Anything easier
than this isn’t worth a skill check.

---

8 A significant challenge to a competent professional
that they’d still succeed at more often
than not.

---

10 Something too difficult to be expected of
anyone but a skilled expert, and even they
might fail.

---

12 Only a true master could expect to carry this
off with any degree of reliability.

---

14+ Only a true master has any chance of achieving
this at all, and even they will probably fail.

---

I suggest we go with what we done but change to right dice.
(I am totally new to this system0.

Haha uh oh. I'll make sure I roll right in the future

Seems we started off on the wrong universe.

ha ha.

Hah, yup. Oopsie. Well, the universe was in your favor at the start. But yeah, let’s keep what’s happened but go on following the right rules!

Aaand, now I have to start another busy day.

I survived the weekend! I will try to write up a post tomorrow, but it could be as late as Wednesday.

If you guys get bored in the meantime check out the topic about the ship. There’s a few questions for you guys there as well!

It seem my job is to get all the bad rolls so Captain Ron get the good ones.

Hah, so far that seems to be how it goes! Should we let you roll the d20 again? ;-)
This being more like a sci-fi sitcom than a survival game I’ll usually be pretty mild with the consequences of rolls, but still. Maybe we can see if this bad luck keeps up and introduce a house rule for doing stuff. Maybe something along the lines of “once per episode you can automatically succeed at (something character specific)”. At least your niche of psionics works with effort, which succeeds automatically most of the time.

I do think that as we are using 2d6 then rolling a natural 2 and 12 should result in critical success and failure of a random happenings.

Nothing major but something funny.

Remember we are talking about universe where a intelligent Ricepudding gloops around the place.

I should read up on the rules about what they say about critical successes and failures. I don’t remember what this system does, but it would be a great source of slapstick indeed.

Hey fellows, this week is proving to be pretty busy. I'm not dropping this game, but letting you know that I might be a bit silent and take a bit longer.

Who knew that getting married to a foreigner would be such a drain on time? /sarcasm

Time is no issue.
I still be here in a month time or a year.

Hope your all doing well.

How is everybody?

Trying to keep suicide away.

Well, this was definitely a bit longer than a year... I'm sorry for dropping the ball. Real life has been ... interesting.
I'll be deleting this game soon. I might, perhaps start another, as I now have summer vacation and thus a bit more time.
