I'm in. So what do you want in regard to "semi-experienced"? I assume you're turning the basic game adventure into an expanded game adventure? Even if just a basic game adventure, this would be an awesome opportunity to test out the Basic game rules from my AER (same as the original, except clearly laid out).

I need to establish a place to host the game...I am having trouble configuring the forum side here. Is there a way to create a second/separate subsection here? I'd like to have a separate section with two or three sub-folders (one for the game, one for player character records, and one for encoutered NPCs), kind of like the general forum that you access at the top header buttons...

As for now, we need players to submit characters (Zeb races are even okay) according to the following guidelines:

AD rules, AD Equipment. If you really want some KH goods then that's okay, but you won't need any of it.
 

This will be a twist on the Pan Galactic Security Breach "choose your own adventure" game from the Basic Rulebook in the purple SF/Alpha Dawn boxed set. Some of the stuff will be the same, some will be altered, but the overall flavor of that first game should still tantalize you.


Twist #1: semi-experienced characters, not unskilled/zero-level beings running around making ability checks for every action. So that means you get a 5,000Cr allowance to purchase gear with, anything your heart desires within that budget fromteh SF AD Expanded Rules book. You also get 25XP for skill/ability improvement, divied up as you see fit (according to PSA & non-PSA restrictions). This means your newly generated character will be a fair shake against whatever situations he/she/it gets thrown into. Straight expenditures, no "automatic starter skills" +25XP or anything like that, just spend the 25XP as you see fit for skills and ability adjustments.


Twist #2: more powerful bad guys. See Twist #1...


Twist #3: Well, let's just say things will start off in a familiar fashion and the plot will proceed in a similar manner. How it ends, well that's not entirely predetermined nor up to a roll of the dice either.


So copy/cut/paste the following character template sheet below and fill it in (roll your own dice for abilities, or create a PC here at http://starfrontiers.us/character and transfer the info to your sheet:

P.S. Corjay, you could even use K'likit ( http://starfrontiers.us/node/798 ) and deduct 11XP for the skills already listed in that section if you like...

To do what you're asking, all you need to do is create documents. you can run the games from the documents. In that case, the forum acts as a catchall for all game threads, but each game can be located through the documents. In the document that contains character creation info, you start a thread connected to it for posting characters. In another document, you post the game story and start a thread from that document. And in a third document you post your NPC and start a thread from that document.

Simple as pie.

Can you move the other two documents (NPC's and Player Submissions) to be subordinate to the Game: Security Breach at Port Loren (revised) document? That would let others start their games in an organized way and be easier to find the documents for your game among the others.

Didn't know I could do that, got it all squared away (I think, it looks compiled now under one heading)
