I have an ongoing dnd-esque game going on IRL, but I would like to see if there are any Bay12er who would like to play a game in this universe that I made with my own stats and roll system. Having not done something like this in a forum setting I would be interested in how this would go.

The Game has begun: Intro Part 1, waitlisters welcome.

Intro Part 2
At the Outpost
At the Outpost with a ship

Edit: Made a discord for this game

Any future games will be simpler in nature, I have a bad habit of biting off more than I can chew. Also hoping for more players in them.

I have Discord for my games now(not necessary to play, tho might be easier to contact me): https://discord.gg/DuaARAZ

can we choose to forgo the base species set in favor of offering one of our own (with approval) for evaluation?  I particularly want to play as a race of intelligent quadrupeds, or maybe even have an amorphous abomination on crew.

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

Sure, I removed abomination because I don't want anyone to play as that species, do to it being literally impossible. Well maybe not impossible just not very fun for the player.

If I can't use my favorite sheet, I'll use someone from that species. You get a cookie if you get the reference.

Code: [Select]
Name: Yt'Uixaef
Rank: Officer
Species Type/Species Name: Humanoid/Ti'Lin
Empire Type/Empire Name: Empire/Independent (Named Ti'Yuhan Tribe)
Connection Type: Independent
Overlord(For non-independent): N/A (Technically subservient to their chief, but can disobey)
Stats: roll a d6 for each
 Wealth: 3
 Violance: 2
 Mending: 2
 Lawfulness: 2
 Chaoticness: 5
 Luck: 3
 Connections: 5
 Awareness: 2
Species Special(If any): Humanoid
Empire Special(If any): Mandatory Friendship (This empire wants to integrate as many other species as possible no matter the cost).
Background(optional): Yt'Uixaef is a Ti'Yuhan officer sent to, possibly, find new civilizations that lurk in deep space. He usually respects the will of the other crewmembers, but will interfere if they do something that his empire considers morally reprehensible.
This good?

Looks alright, make an Empire Special if you want it's mostly for fluff with some possible in-game bonuses.

I love it. So you are from a 'pirate' empire or does it just have lots of pirates?

Also since we have 3 people, we can start soon(probably later on in about 5-6 hours I'll post a starting post). Feel free to talk among yourselves and decide on starting mission type and who you are working for.

Hello. I have been selected by The Chief to search for intelligent life in the darkness of space. Should we start exploring right away or do you have other things in mind? I propose that we would pick this ship.

The wolf-man points to the Stellar Dove, a small-sized, fast, lightly-armed freighter.

...how much money do we have?

((Also, all Ti'Yuhan were psionic in the game where they come from (SpaceStory), your choice if that's a thing here.))

Each point of wealth is about 100 space credits(sc). may change wealth to actual sc once I post the 1st main post.

((Also, all Ti'Yuhan were psionic in the game where they come from (SpaceStory), your choice if that's a thing here.))
By psionic do you mean for communication or the magic type?

In SpaceStory, both. Here it can be one or the other. Like I said, your decision.

...so, we have about 800 SC. That should be enough to buy the Stellar Dove. Any other suggestions?

It will be for communication only, there will be no magic.
