Feel free to have general discussions here.

Do we have to be accepted in the game in order to use this thread?

Quixotico · May 14 '12, 11:58pm

Nope. Feel free to mingle, plan and engage in silliness.

How far along in character creation do you want us to be before we can be accepted into the game? I know you had us generate stats, but do you want a full MW linked sheet?

Quixotico · May 15 '12, 12:10am

If you wish to start up a character sheet, feel free to. There's at least a week of non-stat-related story to go through once we start, during which accepted players can make/finalize a sheet. Having a character's personality and general role/motivations is more important for that reason.

I had a nice concept for a character, but he would be more of a First Mate. Not sure exactly what position of those you gave he would fall under.

Quixotico · May 16 '12, 12:27am

I am open to assigning new (and exciting) roles for the crew. First Mate sounds very old-timey, though. XO (eXecutive Officer) is proper navy and is quite similar.

Hooray! The analysis thingie completed! I'm going to crunch data at home, but if anyone is interested, here's the raw numbers.

Total of ideal ability score after choosing six numbers, then deciding if it's better to sub the highest for an 18 and the lowest, if above 8, for an 8

For those interested, the right column should add up to something close to 12.28 sextillion.

I... I have no idea what that's for or what that means. I assume it's a bell curve showing optimal combinations of stats.

Edit: Holy Crap! Did everyone see what 1steptooquick just did in the apps thread!? That's a genetically engineered nietzschean superman if I ever saw one.

Those sure are some nice ability rolls, for sure. I had a kid in a Forgotten Realms tabletop game I ran , hell, a decade ago now, who rolled three frickin' 18's with the roll 4, drop the lowest scheme. His character was a complete monster, yet the player was so terrible he got himself killed.. Hehe. And the Bard with a single +2 survived 'til the end! But I digress..

Those are very nice. He will very likely be the best at whatever position and occupation he aims for.
