This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.

04/06/07

--BenofZongo 13:57, 1 April 2007 (MST)Present. My sister will also be here. Both of us will be having pizza. The pizza will be "on the house" this week: ie I will pay for it. If no one objects, I think I'll get it from Pudge Bros.

--Dieter the Bold 01:47, 2 April 2007 (MST) I'll be there. And I love frakking Pudge Bros. Please count me in.

--Edmiao 08:09, 2 April 2007 (MST) I'll be there and it would be rude to turn down free pizza..... And I'd hate to be rude. .... So I won't be rude....... Which means I'll eat the pizza.

--Gdaze 10:16, 2 April 2007 (MST)Yikes, I really don't want to miss character creation! So I might stop by for that since this is the game that is going to be run, yes? If so, what exactly is the plan? Dieter went over it a bit with me. I can maybe take a few hours break from the con to come by and make my character (but not actually play in the prolouge).

--Edmiao 10:23, 2 April 2007 (MST) Playing the prologue is more important than making your character. you can make character at home via email, I think. The important part of this system is the "hook" created during the prologue that ties you to the other characters.

--BenofZongo 10:26, 2 April 2007 (MST)Agreed, the prologue is the first session and is by far the most important thing for "regular players" to be a part of: if you don't participate in the prologue, like I said, you don't make your own character. You can make your character on your own time as long as you are in communication with me, the GM, as long as you participated in the prologue.

--Edmiao 10:36, 2 April 2007 (MST) I think the final sentence to the above is...."Otherwise you get to play a supporting character, which was generated in the prologue by either the GM or his sister."

--BenofZongo 10:38, 2 April 2007 (MST)Yes, sorry about that. The given supporting character can then become your character, ie, it is no longer available for guests to play.

--Gdaze 11:01, 2 April 2007 (MST)Hmm, I would think that for the player enjoyment being part of the character creation would be the most important part... I really wouldn't have minded missing a one shot but now that it will be the new game I played... If I had known that I wouldn't have made some plans that I can't really cancel... I dunno if I'd want to play a character I didn't have a hand in creating in a long standing run like this will be... Maybe I shall infrequent this game as well and just stay with a supporting.

--BenofZongo 11:11, 2 April 2007 (MST)Look, if we can't do character creation for the actual campaign this Friday, we won't: we'll just do a one shot like we had planned. Is that what you would prefer gabe?

Other random comments to the group

--Edmiao 02:20, 31 March 2007 (MST)I have made up my mind, i propose we vote. I expound upon this in:Votin' fer the new game

--BenofZongo 02:49, 31 March 2007 (MST)After a discussion with Dieter, I'd like to broach the subject of recruiting a new player. I've got a particular recruit in mind, although I don't think he has time/desire enough to become a permanent fixture in our group: of course, if other people had specific people they'd like to recruit, I'm happy for us to collectively decide if we want another and if so, who would be a good addition. My main motivation for this is that I'd like to make sure we can average 4 players a session for Gemini. The main consideration outside of this as far as I'm concerned is whether or not Jason can accomodate another player in the Exemplars game.

--BenofZongo 02:59, 31 March 2007 (MST)Also, just so it's up here, I will be gone 4/20/07. No, I will not be smokin' the dooby.

--Gdaze 13:04, 31 March 2007 (MST) Also, next time we play could we please cut back on playing other games during the actual RP? It was very distracting and resulted in nobody following the story really.

--BenofZongo 13:32, 31 March 2007 (MST)Yeah, sorry about that, guilty as charged. It's definitely something we need to limit.

--BenofZongo 13:56, 1 April 2007 (MST)Everyone can post potential character concepts, as many as they like, on the gemini characters if they feel like it. Also, if you have an opinion about what sort of missions you want to see the crew engage in, post that to the appropriate talk page as well. If there are secret details you'd like to ask about, you can email them to me.

The Next Step in Exemplars

Shoot the Midget

The Next Step in Gemini

--Dieter the Bold 01:59, 2 April 2007 (MST) Alright gents, since we're going with Gemini, how do we want this Friday to run? Gabe will make it for the Prologue, but can't stay later due to Sakura-con. So, how many times do we want to run the Prologue? Running it at least twice means we can see what everyone is thinking in terms of group set-up and let's us customize the second round. Do we also want to make the ship at the same time and run a quick adventure (rescue the ship)? Anyhoo, just wanted to get some paperwork out of the way.
