QUOTE (Penta @ Apr 24 2010, 05:31 PM)  Erm, it's bad when the GM has lost track too, but I have. Help? Well, unless you've had personal conversations with all players, you're probably confused for the same reasons I am, given that people swap ideas back and forth and casually hint that they might be able to also fill out this and that role (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Well I can say without a doubt that I'm covering the Thaumaturgical Officer role. Playing an Ork Hermetic Mage.

I had a sound off on roles a few pages back, hope it helps.
QUOTE (Faraday @ Apr 21 2010, 10:59 AM) I think we need a clear sound off of who's currently intending to do what to help us figure out what we have covered. So far, my character is a MD/Hacker with a couple repair skills. Also, Dear GM, quote the above post to the 1st post. This will make things much easier. |

I've been low on net time, but I'm not out... still working on a jack-of-all-trades type who could fill the Master spot.

I'm hoping for Navigation/Engineer. Like if Sulu and Scotty made a baby. Good God, imagine the accent... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

QUOTE (Penta @ Apr 24 2010, 05:49 AM) Problem: What's their seakeeping like? Keep in mind, you'll be out in the North Atlantic. It would suck to get a helipad, only to be unable to handle rough seas. Pontoon boats, I don't know. Catamarans are regularly used for high seas sailing, and SWATH boats are used by the US Navy and others for all uses. SWATH boats are actually super stable, which is their primary advantage; their main downside is being slow and fuel inefficient (they have a relatively high underwater profile, creating lots of drag). I'll have a sample ship - a mineral surveyor - out some time this afternoon. |

Cherry is a skilled but flawed hacker; if we end up having no proper Engineer, that's probably more critical. Otherwise, an proper hacker would be nice. In particular, Cherry doesn't do "subtlety". |

Well, I'd be more than willing to fill the role as either Marine CO or Executive Officer, though frankly, besides the face description in the early posts, I'm not really sure what the latter entails.
If I get the first gig I'd like to make a Hobgoblin with some genre appropriate cyber-modifications. |

RedFish: I don't really like using the metavariants from RC...or the other player types from RC like infected or drakes. They're not, IMHO, particularly balanced.
XO, in truth, could probably best be combined with another post. CO is the only one where I'm insistent that that's all you do. |

Actually, the Hobgoblin is probably worse than the basic orc. Costs the same as a basic orc: What he gets is Fangs (a really sub-par close combat attack option worth 5 BP which has -1 reach and is just str divided by 2) and Vindictive - a 10 BP negative quality. Hobgoblins are described as wiry and less bulky than a standard orc, and with an arabic background, I find the flavour much more "piraty" than a normal orc, but up to you of course (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Yeah, but there are equally some variants that are not balanced. Hence, the ban on metavariant PCs stands.

I just checked back and saw that your char had Mechanic/Nautical 4, so that's good. I always forget that in Shadowrun, the people who drive and the people who fix are usually the same. |
