GM WhtKnt's Alternity: Perpetual Twilight (Inactive)

Game Master WhtKnt

Discussion thread is now open.

Being a sesheyan shouldn't be much more difficult than any other alien. Yes, VoidCorp claims ownership, but that doesn't mean that all Sesheyans willingly submit. And many have earned their freedom as independents. Also, don't forget that you're in the Verge. VoidCorp doesn't have as much say here as they might like out here. In general, I predict few problems (other than the occasional VoidCorp citizen looking down on you).

A Seshayan was my other choice, I love those things. I used to have a lot of the old Ecology articles from Dragon (I think they also gave D&D stats for at least some of them), wish I'd hung onto them.

With a catfolk and a Weren though I'm glad I went with something a little more human-shaped. otherwise it would just be Lincoln and the menagerie.

Hmmm, seem so I was leaning towards a T'sa, but with the GM saying that Seshayens are gtg, hmmmm.

I am working on getting my Hero Lab License to have access to the Alternity stuff, so I can crank my character out on it. I should definitely have a character posted tonight or tomorrow. You guys are in the middle of a talky talky encounter anyways.

Choraak will be a Sesheyan Tech Op.

He will focus, largely on DEX and INT skills. Specifically, on the DEX side is Acrobatics and Pistols, and on the INT side Demolitions and Medical Science.

In short, Choraak likes fixing things and breaking things.

If my assistance is needed on some shipboard chores, I could take a Systems Operations skill, or similar.

As I understand it, we're rolling for starting cash, so I get 10 times the following...

Cash: 5d8 ⇒ (1, 5, 8, 8, 4) = 26

260 bucks

Well, I'll go ahead and dive down the rabbit hole of equipment and say that Choraak wears dark green fatigues, and a beret, since I very much like the picture above, even if that guy has 6 too few eyes to be a sesheyan.

I will assume the fatigues, with pockets and such are his base clothing, and thus free. They leave his wings uncovered.

$25 - I am definitely buying a pair of gailghe, the protective goggles that sesheyans wear to protect their many eyes from the unhealthy bright light that the humans love so much.

$100 - Medcare One First Aid Kit

$35 - Combat knife

That leaves me only $100. What did I miss? How did you guys get armor and blasters? Poor me, just a low tech Sesheyan! I will have to pick from the scraps of our enemies as we go.

Basic stats are entered. I'm working on background.

I will also set up some macro type things for my various rolls.

I think I am ready, if you will have me.

Rrin, what did you use to output that character format, or did you do it manually?

How did the others determine starting cash?

P130, you either are given a starting gear package and dice x 10 money, or no starting gear package and dice x 100 money.

P130, you either are given a starting gear package and dice x 10 money, or no starting gear package and dice x 100 money.

OH!

So $2600 instead of $260!

I'll buy some more gear!

Still doesn't seem to stretch very far, but then I'm an Aleerin, so I was looking at computers, hardware and cyberware. So YMMV.

Beef jerky and skittles are not near as pricy, so I may make out better!

It takes 11 hours for a signal to reach another system via drivespace satellite communications.

I will point out that not all systems even have drivesats, and thus are not reachable that way. electronic traffic to those systems is carried by data merchants.

The Lighthouse carries drivesats, so when it comes to a "dark" system, suddenly that system can communicate way faster with the outside universe for at least a few days.

Yeah, I had a feeling it was something along those lines.

Ugh, I noticed that the site must have eaten my corrections to my character profile!

Cleaning that up, but need to get to my home computer to complete.

Corrections reapplied.

I only have Xenomedicine for Humans! This means I can't really use my medical skills on the other three of you, but while I could easily justify having needed it on humans, and possibly one other, I couldn't choose! So, at the next level, I suppose I'll spend some time reading the Anatomy books for your races, so I can help you as well.

Don't get hit before 2nd level if you're not human or sesheyan!

Did you set up a Roll20?

We can go ahead and log into it.

Just so everyone is aware; convention season is upon us again! I serve as the Game Operations Director (that is, the Director of the Game Room) at CoastCon, a local convention in 1.5 months, and this takes up a lot of my already pressed time. So if I am slow to update or respond, please bear with me and bot me as needed.

No, I have not set up a Roll20 as yet. I will when we need it.

Hi DM... It's been two weeks since you've posted. Is this game still on? If not please let us know.

Has it been two weeks? No, we're still on if you guys are wanting to continue. I thought I posted the other day. Sorry. Just been extremely busy.

Glad to hear.

I am here!

If the GM has completely disappeared, we need to not post in the Gameplay thread for a couple months, and the game will go inactive.

Most unfortunate.

Agreed. Unfortunate.

I've got five inactive campaigns on my campaign page. Should be a way for players to remove it themselves.

I know the feeling.

Sorry for going dark. I was waiting on someone to do something, then I got into con mode (the con was last weekend) and everything ground to a halt. We should be able to get back on track now.

I'm probably going to drop out. Just too many interruptions for me to stay focused. I'd have to read the whole thread, just to figure out what we're doing. Thanks for the opportunity, and good luck moving forward.

As a head's up, I'm about to be out of town and without easy access to a computer for about 2 weeks -- basically, I'll be able to post Monday (13) and then not again 'til the 28th.

Generally, feel free to have Rrin suggest other sneaky, underhanded, strike-first, ambushy sort of things (or to fight in that style, as needed) while I'm gone.
