This also came to mind:-
It very cheesy but stick with it.

Hahahah, Aqua. Boy oh boy I really am 35 years old... sigh...

Ok time to confess up.

I err like, no I did not listen to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy when radio play came out because like um.  My dad did not listen to radio 4.

But I did see the 1981 TV when was put on.
I not sure if was when first aired or re-runs that year or few years after (if they re-ran it).

Just a quick reminder to everyone that while we're moving quite quickly through character creation now, once we actually start the story I'll probably only post weekly. I'm thinking about ways to keep things moving so that it won't be too slow, but just now that if it's too hectic now, things will calm down soon.

Can I make a fun suggestion.

Each player should have interesting / major flaw.
In return they get an extra / new roll on the Growth or Learning Table.

Like in fate rpg system.

We can probably roll that into the experience system I'm thinking about. More to come later!

I am back, and severely jet-lagged, so I won't post today yet, but I have a treat!

New-Year has happened, and if that's not an excuse for a party, I don't know what is! Also, I got engaged!
So, for all the joy, merriment and party-atmosphere here, please all take an experience point!

As for me, I'm choosing coffee over champagne right now as I struggled with the seven timezone difference.

Happy New Year.

I had quite Christmas and New Year but that want I wanted.
I spend the last 2 years making my life stable after splitting with my wife.

(we did spend 3 days together just before Christmas and things where good.
I still care about her but living together would be bad idea).

I wish you well.

You can immediately spend the XP to level. I think one XP is enough to go to second level. Though I’ll have to check later.

Also, have people made their characters? Has our crew survived the festivities or did we loose some people?

That sounds like quite the new year indeed! Happy new year everybody, hope 2020 finds you well!

So two people left huh? Well, that’s enough to start with!

Are your characters ready and complete? Are there any questions? I’m gonna warm up these engines and start checking gauges. Getting ready for lift-off!

Let us boldly go forward because nobody thought about reverse.

What does this R stand for then...?

(Very excited)

On most Party-Powered Vessels it usually stands for engaging RAVE-DRIVE!

I will post at the weekend.  Work is mad at the moment.

I’m having an incredibly busy few days ahead of me. Don’t expect a post from me until at least on monday (and even then, aiming for wednesday is probably safer)

Where’s the party at guys?

I’m gonna give this another week. If there is no reply I’m gonna shelf this for now.

Ah Sorry.  On it right now.

Sorry I been running around this week sorting load things out and I forgot I was going post here.  Anyway over to Captain Ron

No worries, I figured you were busy. Just wanted to know if I should look out for posts here or wether to end it. But don’t stress over it. A weekly post is enough, as stated before.

posted. Whoopsie daisy.

Just made a second post.  I would like to stress again.
If the GM is not happy with my post he can change it as I have taken a few liberties with the post.  (hope you like it however).
But as this is the background to the game I hope that ok.  It does set thing up nicely for my character and back up by good role.

Oh and I think that the Ricepudding would not be a member of the planned crew at moment.  As he just arrive on the plant  / in the universe.  So Ron you may want find a way of getting him on board. :)

:- having The Ricepudding like only been in existence for a day open up so much fun for the game which I happy for you two to have fun with (At The Ricepudding expense).

The Ricepudding: I think this is quite okay. I'll probably post guidelines on liberties with NPC's and scenes when I have a good think about it, because a bit more freedom than usual will help with keeping the game/story moving without asking and waiting for permission and stuff. Play by post is slow as it is.

Captain Ron: What a smooth guy! I love it.

 I'll probably have a think about a reply and will try to write one before the weekend. The weekend is gonna be busy.

Also, having reviewed the rules a bit, there are some clarifications. The Ricepudding. 1XP, wasn't enough to level (it's 3XP to go to level 2.) so I'm afraid you couldn't have spent the XP to gain Teleportation. Also, you don't have to roll for using psychic abilities. You need to spend effort. I think you have the rules yourself. You should read up on Psionics, especially page 30 and 31. They deal with using skills and spending effort and calculating the amount of effort you have. Now, I think, looking at your character sheet, that you have mastery, which means that for your core skill you don't need to spend effort, so in this case no effort is being spent. The only thing you should have rolled normally, is the d6 for healing. But since this is basically a cutscene, that wasn't even needed.

I'll also try to set up a thread/topic/post thing with custom ways to gain XP. I'll try and have that up at the same time as the next post.

Just my luck.  Rolled well and did not need to.

Was not sure about Psionics needing rolls or not.
I rolled just in case I needed to.  Seemed odd that other skilled needed it but nothing said to for Psionics.

Everything else make sense and yes I did know about 1d6.
However I thought was bit pointless.
Also yes I do not use effort for my healing at moment.

All good here then :)
