Recruiting: Guns, Germs & Steel, A game of you. Options

[mallet]

Ok, today is the final day for submissions. I have gotten a lot of good characters sent in, but that doesn't mean if you haven't submitted yet you won't be accepted. So please send me something if you want to play.

Thanks.

Question, how do we know if we got picked?

Victor "The Rose" Yiev


I didnt send an email... i posted here on page 1 inside the spoiler =)

[mallet]

I'll start letting people know Sunday or Monday. I'll post them here and PM the people that will be involved at the start of the game.

All people selected may have to make some adjustments to their characters and their backgrounds to fit into the game better. These will be small changes for the most part, like maybe changing the name of the corp they worked for, or what city they were in before coming to Seattle. Things like that.

Anyways, I'll be in touch.

argh! *hurries to get her char sheet finished*

[mallet]

Time is getting short my friends, and I am getting anxious to get down to the game, but there is still a few hours to go for any last minute submissions.

If you are planing on still submitting please PM me or post so I'll keep an eye out for it, and make sure you are not forgotten.

thanks

I just sent in my character.

Ellie - Face/Thief/B&E

All the main stuff (stats/skills/cyber) are set with her. I'm just trying to figure what gear to buy with the remaining money she has.

[Whizbang]

I'm not quite done, but I sent what I have at the moment to whatever email you have in your Dumpshock profile.

[Leowulf]

Can you confirm that you have received my sheet for Ghost Dragon?

[mallet]

[Digital Heroin]

Despite the return of my lovely copy of MITS, I couldn't pull together a character, what with the drinking and the Cher and the work of this weeked... I'm definitly annoyed with myself, but knowing a background that's still shaky isn't enough, shall have to pull out...

[Johnson]

Little late.

Name: Tom Robinson

Private Detective.

[The Grifter]

So....who's in?

[gobogen]

:-?

[mallet]

Ok, after going over all the apps. and contimplating a few different ideas, I have finally come up with what I think will be a kick-ass storyline/game.

So, I have desided on who the players will be and will be posting their names up here a little bit later today (I just need to confirm a few things by PM).

Sorry if you character wasn't selected, it's nothing personal, it is just based on which characters inspired me to come up with an idea/storyline.

Also some of the characters not selected for the start of the game, I could easily see joining into the game later on, so I may be in contact with some of you later on about joining in (if you are still interested at that time.)

Thanks all.

Will post final list soon as I hear back from a few people.

[mallet]

Ok. Here is the starting line-up.

HMHVV Hunter
Whizbang
gobogen
kaosaur


I'll be starting up an OOC thread later this afternoon and we can meet up there and begin working out the details. Please refrain from telling each other any details of your characters or their BG's, I would like those types of details to come out during play.

Thanks again to everyone who applied.

[HMHVV Hunter]

Sorry to spring this on ya...but I'm withdrawing. There's another game opening up that seems better suited to my character.

Sorry dude.

[jklst14]

Mallet,
You might want to expand your cast of characters slightly. While four is a good number for tabletop gaming, it can cause your online game to stall if just one or two people go out of town/have computer problems etc...

Either way, best of luck to you in your game. It sounds like it'll be awesome. And let me know if a spot opens up for a wise cracking, thieving, B&E/Face :)

[mallet]

Ok, well Since HHMV Hunter is pulling out things are going to change a bit. Sorry to the rest of the players if this slows things down. Not my fault.

So I am going to go back over some of the other characters and see who can (and would be willing to) fix up their BG's to join into the storyline I've now got worked out.

Again sorry for the delay.


PS. As for the low number of players, my plan is for that to be the "starting crew" as things get rolling I full expect to be adding more players into the game.

[mallet]

Right, so rather then change the storyline that I came up with for the game, I am just going to look and try and recruite a new player to fill the empty role.

So this is an open call for an OCCULT INVESTIGATOR style character.

Anyone wanting to play/submit please send me a BG as soon as possible. Out of the few I get, I'll pick the one that best fits with what we are doing, then it should be all good.

Any questions, just PM.

thanks.

[The Grifter]

I'm on it, man. I'll send ya some info ASAP.

[jklst14]

Now that I think about it, maybe a smaller number of players leads to a faster posting cycle and lets the action flow more smoothly. I haven't been enough play by post games to be sure.

Mallet:
I didn't think I could do it but I just wrote a short story which would be enough to transition Ellie over to a Paranormal type of game without changing her core character. It involves a brief appearance by the dragon Arleesh (first introduced in the 1st edition module Bottled Demon).

And I have another character who was in storage who I've taken out and dusted off. I think he could be very well suited to your campaign.

Grifter:
Best of luck to you. Maybe we can convince him to pick both of us :)

[Frater Inominatu...]

I just found your post. Is there room for one more?
