OOC Thread

We discuss everything here that is not RP (happening in-fiction)

Welcome all to our sci-fi game! :) Please start with the PC finishing thread. So we will know who play who:) In the linked document are all the rules I plan to use for now, but in case of some bigger doubts I have access to core books, so we should be able to solve any problems.

As you can notice from - still locked - RP thread we will start "just in the middle of action" way. At that point I will provide you with some additional details about the world and where and why you are. But let's start with establishing who is in our team first.

And yes: you will have a space ship:) But it won't take any part in Act I.

Besides I planed Act I as tutorial of sorts, so everyone could get acustommed to system and Gamers Plane - feel free to ask me anything about the game here. About the PC in the designated thread. Or write me a PM.

Cheers and thank you for joining me on this journey of experiencing this classic system:)

Cielo Rourke - is from Mickey Rourke ? :)

How do you find this rules and system? I think it may seam a little complicated at first? But I think it gives a nice flexibility to what PC can do - due to "moving situation die steps".

For example: you could spend one of your actions in earlier phase to aim at one of the soldiers -> in that case you would have -1s to next shooting. Or anything else that seam reasonable. I will be quite liberal at this. You can "open your imagination" in somehow OSRy way - at least in my game:)

Also any feedback to my way go GMing is more then welcome. I'm aware that I probably still write too much/too long posts, but I'm also still learning the system and wanted to provide all of you with information how it works. I thing with time my posts will become shorter:)

I think your GMing is great so far! I definitely appreciate the diligence with the mechanics and the longer posts, it makes me feel like I need to step up, myself. I do feel like I need to re-visit the rules somewhat frequently but that's mostly a Me problem.
Dash probably should have done this with his first action lol.

Being new to the system I appreciate the details and handholding. No doubt this will all speed up as we get more used to the system.

I just started to wonder if you as players would prefer for me - GM - to roll all action checks for all players at once, at the beginning of the round??

I have seen this behavior in Savage Worlds games - where GM is drawing cards for all combat participants. And I think it would speed things up - especially in PbP format? As now we all have to wait for all players to make a simple roll.

But I have nothing against it personally. Just want to keep this game as fun and agile for you as much as I can:)

So if you don't mind waiting and like to roll for yourself for "initiative" - be my guest :)

I seemed to have missed this post as I was under the weather these past few days. I think you're GMing is quite awesome! Once again, I'm new to this genre AND anything related to it, but the way you do things have made it quite simple for me to understand stuff that I would've never figured out myself. Also, I don't really see the problem with longer posts. I personally think they're great both for the players and the GM, as it keeps the game descriptive and flowing, plus it really helps the player get into his character. At least that's the case for me, as I have mild aphantasia :). Anyway, I'll have to thank you for giving me a great first experience so far!

This is what AI generated for me and I choosed from few options as of how Surge Soldier look. You like such staff? And I should provide more images like that? Or you guys prefer to leave such things to imagination ? Just asking how to operate to make this game better?

That looks great to me, and I love the visual cues.

This looks really great! I would love more images, these help imagining much easier.

Sorry Guys! Currently I'm in "work amok" as I'm going on vacations coming Sunday (for two weeks). Almost everyday I tried to analyze current situation in our game, but was too mind exhausted to do so. I think I will manage to do at least 1 bigger post before I will leave, but I'm not even sure how will be my internet connection at the place I'm going. So can't promise the game will be faster.

But from 27th I will be able to get back to full speed - 3-5 posts per week. Hope you will all forgive me current slow down and be willing to get back to this game. I really hope so!

Until then... please have some patience for me!

All good! Take all the time you need.

Hi guys! I'm really sorry, but I will have to put this game in suspension indefinitely... :((( Due to some changes in my real life that will make my free time even smaller in amount :(( Hope you have at least some fun while the game lasted.

Please, just tell me: would you be up to re-starting this game in 1 or 2 month time from now in the future? Or you have enough of Alternity ? :)

God bless you all and all the good things to you - in case that our ways would make us not talk again! :)

I think that I'll drop out. I also have less and less time for PBP these days. Thanks for running this, it was great to see this game in action after sitting on my shelf for so many years!

Thank you for running this Pedrop! It's always fun to try out a game I'd otherwise never get the chance to play. I'll probably be around for whenever you wanna restart this, I'm always game for some space opera. Cheers! :)

Totally understand real life. Definitely willing to give any game you run a chance. Ping me when you are ready to restart.
