Since we have at least one player now, this seems in order. Talk about anything you want, as long as it doesn’t infringe on the general maturity rating!

Hi so right now I have one or two 'traits' for characters but no real setting ideas. I was thinkng maybe we could all go down the space exploration route borriwing ideas from, say, Red Dwarf, Hyperdrive or The Orville. The neat idea about this is if we syart with the universe being largely 'unexplored' we can make new stuff up as we go along.

As for character concepts how about a 'reverse telepath' Instead of reading minds, he/she/it broadcasts their thoughts constantly, regardless of how innapropriate / offensive these thoughts may be (obviously they don't get invited to many parties).

That sounds like fun. Feel free to post ideas for the game in the session 0 thread :)

yay, three players already! Feel free to say hi over here and start brainstorming a bit in the session 0 thread!

Hello everybody.  The Ricepudding waves friendly at everybody.

I would suggest you read my character description, it may help.

I cannot believe I got away with this.  This idea goes back to 1990.
If I get play this it be so much fun.

The ricepudding should encounter his other half in the uk on earth where income tx is so complicated it takes on a sentience all of its own.

I sort of getting the feeling for once I am not the only British person in this game.

And I like idea of us being Star Cops.
Send out solve odd and silly crimes in the universes.
It would give structure and purpose to the game.

Also remember anything could be crime on a different worlds so load to cover.

It’s a cool idea, but we’re not quite at characters yet, so we’ll cross that bridge when we get there, but it should be doable I think. This system isn’t as flexible for silly character ideas as say... fate or risus, but we’ll see where we get. Let’s first see what kind of game we want to run. Feel free to brainstorm in the session 0 thread about game ideas!

Also, welcome to Manticore!

Feel free to start with point one and two of character creation in the session zero thread. I think the book gives you the choice between taking an array and rolling in order and changing one to 14 after. So far everyone has rolled!

Or in my case I roll and got the array (well almost).

Hey players. I'm also running another game but currently have only one active player and one that's gone AWOL. Should you be interested in playing some lighthearted weird fantasy using Black Hack Second Edition, you could join us over here: link to another game

For those with more experience in the system than I have: what are your thoughts on the optional rules for Aliens and Virtual Intelligences? Are they needed for us to play our type of silly game or is just treating everyone as a "human" with a different flavor enough? So far this is mainly for The Ricepudding. But others might want to play non-humans as well.

It all seems rather straightforward, so if wanted, I'll allow it.

Well for ease of game I can fit into the human box.

However as we develop there maybe thing Ricepudding can do that other cannot.
Like slide under doors or expend his arms, nick or legs.
But we can talk about that and see what make sense.

It would have to be a skill like exert i think.

Just read the asking for more player for this game.

I was left laughing to myself.

Put the idea of you filling in your tax form and for form is telling you it's all wrong.

Welcome to The_senator13! 5 of the 6 possible spaces are now filled on the trading ship!

Hi all!
Thanks for having me.

Just remembered to give you access to your character sheet. You should be good to go.

Just remembered this. The entire album/anime they made is suitable, but this one gives a good party example:

We'd have to silly it up a bit, but it's an example of what we might be going for. As for silly stuff from it: I'n another video from the album there's a spaceship shaped like an electric guitar!

the entire album/anime is watchable here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...lX50xxG&index=16
