The Alliance put on a good show for Niska's boys. Their ship was barely in sensor range. The Gas Giant was the perfect stage. It mucked up the ship's goshi civilian grade sensors. Niska's boys didn't hang around after the show. Alliance cruisers are famous for shoot first and maybe ask questions later.

Apparently, orange doesn't fly off the shipyard shelves. They had an abundance of it. The paint was very old. The coverage varied in tone and hue. It covered the blue primer well. That's all that mattered.
Now that Babe is repaired and upgraded she needs a new name.
Captain Bleak wasn't enthusiastic about renaming her. She had been called Babe for 10 years.
Captain Bleak and his wife bought Babe together. He had the cash and she the business savvy. Babe was to be the first of many in their stable.
But times got tough faster than expected.
Eventually their poor financial situation forced them to spend more time apart. He continued moving freight. She took the shuttle and got them business. They were barely one step ahead of the bank. He missed her terribly.
In one of her regular waves she was excited about a new opportunity. Unfortunately, the wave connection was full of static. The worst he ever saw. She smiled and said it could wait until she returned home.
She never made it back home...
A heartless Bureaucrat, with a cold report in hand delivered the bad news. The shuttle had been destroyed. It had been fired upon by an unknown vessel. Only tiny fragments of the shuttle were found. Her body had been vaporized.
For a long time after that, the widower Bleak lived up to his name. He did all kinds of bad things.
But that's all in the past. Now he is out of debt, his ship is in prime condition and his crew is fat and sassy.
The only thing missing is his dearly departed wife. But he knows she isn't dead if he always remembers her. So it is only fitting that he renames the ship after her, "Saffron."

Hi! I haven't seen any emails yet (so if you sent one, you don't have my email address :) I don't think any of you have played my Campus Crusade for Cthulhu adventure yet, and I have a friend in Vancouver who wants to play it. Anyone interested in doing that Wednesday or Thursday next week - maybe at your friend's store?
Also, my email is pluther [at] usa [period] net if someone wants to start an email chain. :)
From the 2010 program book:
Title of the game: Campus Crusade for Cthulhu
Description of the game
As students at Arkham's famous Miskatonic university, you are all members of an ancient order keeping secrets past down from before most people started recording history.
Your local chapter has been incorporated as a student club on-campus. But, on the eve of the culmination of millennia of effort, a new force has arisen to stop you: the Student Activities Committee.
Join the cult and stand up for your First Amendment right to summon the Great Old Ones in the manner you see fit.

I will be attending PaizoCon 2015. I want to run Firefly again. Is there anyone out there interested in joining me?
Well, you know I'm in. Janella will be there, along with Jessie and Jennie, and Dave.
(Jennie of course being my very favorite gun. A gen-u-ine Colt 45 from Earth-That-Was that my great-grandpappy was awarded by General Custer himself after the Battle of the 歷史上不準確 Space Station.

All right El-El, looks like so far we have two gun-totin' types, a doc, and a greenhorn confirmed for attendance ... hoping we get some additional members of the old crew back (can't get Babe in the air without the cap't and the mechanic ;) ).
Do you know if mearrin69, lolrobots and any of the other folks from 2012/2013 will be attending this year? Meeting up with this crew is one of the highlights of the con for me.

Hi,
We will be missing some regular crew this year. No M or C unfortunately. Right now it looks like 6 players out of 8 characters.
If we have to, we can play Firefly with 6 players just fine.
ylphryx
Pat
Pall
Sarvei taeno
Karl Bob
Jas
These are the available characters. If you have a preference, let me know. All are ready for action regardless of career.
Doctor
Scientist
Captain
Engineer
Pilot
Swindler
The Muscle (ylphryx )
Hired Gun (Pat)
Are you ready to be a Big Damn Hero?

Ok "Sarvei taeno" is a confirmed crewman. Sarvei taeno will be our pilot.
Hopefully this pilot won't crash the ship, like two episodes ago.
Ok, it wasn't quite the pilot's fault. Something planet side managed to override ship functions and activate the "land lock" while Babe was in orbit...
As for what time/day for the game. I know for sure that two of the players on the list aren't attending the banquet. Would that be a good time for most people?
Obviously, scheduling Firefly will have to fit the majority of schedules not a unanimous vote.

During the banquet works for me. Once again, I won't be at it :)

Sunday Sunday Sunday Night!
Talking to everyone, Sunday evening looks best for most people.
Lets get there (do be determined) by 8:30PM and hit the ground running by 9PM or earlier.
System: Deadlands Classic. Half the crew knows the system well, so don't worry. Characters provided. Bring lots o' dice.
We have a full crew. If anyone needs to back out, please send us a wave. That way we can hopefully find a replacement.
Who's ready to be a Big Damn Hero?!

spoke with Paul last night. It looks like he may be out for Sunday evening (he's running a table at the PFS Special that night).
EDIT: and Sunday looks like it might be open from about 7pm on for me depending on when the store closes (I am helping cover the Wayfinder table there over the convention).
