I’m here. Work is killing me with added duties but I’m about to hand those off so I’ll have more time come tomorrow.

cool.  4 real players is a great number.  Maybe the inactives can be tasked with watching other cities or something where they're not gumming up the works?

Hopefully Warrbow and the GM both return.

I have a good feeling about the GM.  4 days not a crisis.  Warbow...Aug 26 was their last IC post.  That's a month ago.

I’m in another one of the GMs games. He’ll be back. I think I’ll make a blanket out of the Wookie and put it on my bunk. People who ghost games annoy me immensely.

Just had an odd week. Every time I sat down to post, something kept coming up. Mostly haven't been sleeping well and wind up mentally tired all day long. Plus have an assortment of cats and dogs in my lap, making it hard to use my laptop.

There may be delays in my posting, but I've been running games for 8 years and haven't abandoned any yet.

You're a better man than me then.

I'm still around. Wish I had StarMaster's excuse. I'm just lazy and procrastinate a lot.

FYI: It finally occurred to me just now how we can use the language groups.

Language Group 0 is 'DV-8 Tranlate'. Thus, if you wanted to indicate you are speaking another language than Galactic Basic but that everyone else can understand your through the translation droid, you post it this way:


"[ Language DV-8 Translate: Twi'leki: This is the message translated. ]"

but without the space before and after the bracket. It would then appear like this:

"Twi'leki: This is the message translated."


If you want to use language to pass info between players that only speak Twi'leki, you do it this way:

"[ Language Twi'leki: They can't understand us. ]"

Again without the spaces and it would show up this way.

"[Language unknown: Holes latevehis ilicolriro k.]"

Only the two PCs that speak Twi'leki would be able to read it.

Anyway, it's an option. Ignore it if you want.

That's a good possibility.

My next 4 days are going to be chaotic; I'm going with my dad to clean out the house before it's sold.  I'm kinda a wreck over it, but with my mother's passing a month ago, he wants it done.  In a year's time, I could buy it, but instead, it's going to a stranger.  So while there might be time this weekend, I'm not sure about my level of depression.  If I slide, and you really want to move forward, be free to post for me.

Looks like I'm the heavy. Got it.
*Holds up all 4 arms for high fives*

You'll have to hold them a lot lower for me. Would you prefer to think of me as your backup or your competition?

Also... I'm sorry for your loss. I hope cleaning out the house might at least provide some closure.

Loss of anyone close is rough. Sorry you have to go through it!

Koss can lower one hand for height challenged folks and Koss is trying to get used to the idea that teams and groups are important. So competition might have been early in the relationship but with Koss wielding heavy melee weapons and wearing medium armor we all have our niche on the team I'm sure.

Yeah... Waale is basically the opposite of that-- naked and screaming, primitive spear and primitive bow, and next level he's going to lose the spear. Sounds like you're the cavalry and I'm the tunnel rat.

Ewok...AAAAARRRGGGGHHH!!!! **RAGE**





Welcome to the game. :D


Both of you. **gives Yi-Kossar a high 20**

hey you know them plasma crossbows wookiees got?

how come they never carve a tie fighter into the stock?

I feel like that's the set up for a joke. I'll go with ya...why not?

Wait... Is it because bow-ties are only for formal occasions?

OK, I laughed at that.

And I shut down the place with the bow-ties line... At least my character is charismatic.

Sorry, was laid up. Let me catch up on the IC thread.

Welcome to the new people.

Do we have an armstech?

As in having the Armstech’s Implements proficiency? Vanrik does.

I ask because having someone who can teach the proficiency on the team is a big leap in learning the skills a character wants.

What tools and languages do characters want to learn? If the character wants to keep it a secret then fine or if characters wouldn't practice where others might have seen them...

Koss has proficiency with Demolitions and Armortech skill and the tools. Koss wants to learn Armstech, slightly ironic perhaps ;p

If people want the GM might allow us to have done work or training for others... Say up to the credit limits of our characters.

Making the cost for others' starting gear a little less might also be a thing, but I wanted to put that out there.

At a minimum we might be able to help with future projects for each other.

From the main book, Adventuring section

RESEARCHING
The time between adventures is a great chance to perform research, gaining insight into mysteries that have unfurled over the course of the campaign. Research can include poring over dusty tomes and ancient datacrons in a library or buying drinks for the locals to pry rumors and gossip from their lips.

When you begin your research, the GM determines whether the information is available, how many days of downtime it will take to find it, and whether there are any restrictions on your research (such as needing to seek out a specific individual, tome, or location). The GM might also require you to make one or more ability checks, such as an Intelligence (Investigation) check to find clues pointing toward the information you seek, or a Charisma (Persuasion) check to secure someone’s aid. Once those conditions are met, you learn the information if it is available.

For each day of research, you must spend 10 cr to cover your expenses. This cost is in addition to your normal lifestyle expenses (as discussed in chapter 5).

TRAINING
You can spend time between adventures learning a new language or training with a set of tools. Your GM might allow additional training options.

First, you must find an instructor willing to teach you. The GM determines how long it takes, and whether one or more ability checks are required.

The training lasts for 250 days and costs 10 cr per day. After you spend the requisite amount of time and money, you learn the new language or gain proficiency with the new tool
