 November 3, 2007 - 4:50pm | This is a developing situation in my Lost Worlds, New Frontiers campaign. A huge passenger liner with 2000+ passengers and crew has misjumped into an unknown star system. They don't know it yet, but they are stuck here and will eventually use up the life support on their ship if they don't quickly colonize a habitable planet in this system. Assuming a mixture of races, social classes, professions and backgrounds, how quickly could they decide on some form of emergency goverment and what forms might it take? The liner is owned and crewed by PGC, but the captain and most of the senior officers are MIA for the moment (they abandoned ship). The passengers will soon find out what happened and are not likely to continue with PGC management. Some passengers are VIPs and have high ranking positions (government, corporate, etc) back on their homeworlds or great wealth that they no longer have access to. What factions or disputes might arise? I have my own plans for a development in stages, starting with emergency meetings and maybe a little rioting...leading up to improvised government of a colony. |

If you really want a high strength yazirian, I'll let you shift some points from somewhere else. Maybe raise that 35 STR to a 55 STR and subtract a total of 20 points from another set of attributes. It's up to you. |
 October 15, 2008 - 1:12pm | oops, revision to skills:- PSA - Technological Technician - 2 Computers - 2 Robotics - 1 My other 3 skill points added to my STA |
October 15, 2008 - 3:00pm | The story has had a small update, but any newly introduced characters will be on a separate elevator on their way up to the security deck. http://www.starfrontiers.org/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=55 |
October 20, 2008 - 7:20pm | Elpotov could write his own introduction. Just describe your character stepping out of an elevator onto the security deck to join his fellow PGC guards. Write your intro under "The Story" http://www.starfrontiers.org/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=55 I'll get your character transferred over after you've bought your starting equipment. |
February 21, 2009 - 9:12am | I put up another post under Lost Worlds on the other forum. Sorry about the slow pace, but better slow than nothing at all. |
 February 21, 2009 - 1:50pm | Thanks! I'm there like spacewear! B-) |
 February 22, 2009 - 1:20pm | Sounds like Lord of the Flies I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
February 22, 2009 - 2:29pm | I've read through pages 1-6 and page 13 on the game forum- very creepy stuff any room for another player? I was thinking to try a character archtype from one of the early Star Frontiersman issues. either the Yazerian Priest or a science type. but barring that a combat medic with PTSD. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
February 22, 2009 - 3:28pm | any room for another player? You can roll up a character if you want. It will be easy to slip in at this point. Just look at the other characters for examples of starting xp. |
February 22, 2009 - 9:31pm | I think I saw 31 xp in the forum thread? and all alpha dawn rules? Rim races possible but core 4 the focus and money for equipment? I suppose I should request formal membership on that forum? Oh, I'd like to do something unusual a character archtype or something just different, playing a military PSA is always good as you can specialize in killing things which in a RPG is good as most conflict is solved with a sword or gun; none the less I want to take a challenge. Jedion I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
February 23, 2009 - 9:53am | Yes, 31xp to start. some examples: Computer, Technician, Environmental Computer, Medical, Psycho-Social Medical, Robotics, Computer |
February 23, 2009 - 1:15pm | Thats cool and simplifies trying to use the character archtypes form Star Frontiersman! How's this: NAME: Ch'k L't BACKGROUND: It use to annoy him that humans pronuonced his name as Chicklet, but in the pursuit of proffit he never let that stand in the way of making money and eventually he grew found of the nickname when used by friends. People who are to familiar to soon or are not who he considers friends who use Chicklet better be careful because he tends to make them pay for it sooner or latter on a deal. Until recently Ch'k L't worked in the family business. When his grandfather was alive, it was his smuggling business. He helped refugees on Gollywog escape the Blue Plague when the planet was under quarantine. His heart was in the right place, but he may have been partially responsible for that plague’s widespread effect. Now the business has passed on to Ch'k L't's father. Ch'k L't was a smuggler who specialized in the smuggling of people. He helped create false identities for the people he smuggled, or talked his way through customs and immigration with a smooth tongue and a handful of credits. Recently, he went on a mission from his father to grab a target and “escort” her to Kraatar. But when he arrived with his unwilling travel companion, he found that she was being sold into slavery. He drew the line there, fled, and now his father is furious with him for ruining the reputation of the family business... Smuggler PSA: Technician, Environmental, Phycho-social. (I'm assuming tech skill purchased ar 4 and enviro and physch at 5 for 1st level?) RAce: Vursk Sex:M Eyes: gold; Skin: Green with tan spots, 80kg 1.5m tall 1.4m long Dodge: 15m Walk:10m Run: 30m Hourly: 4km Climbing: 2m Crawling: 2m Swim: 10m Hourly Swim: 1km Running Leap: 5m Standing leap: 2m Run Vert. Leap: 4 Stand Vert. Leap: 2m Comprehension:17% STR/STA: 50/50 DEX/RS: 40/40 INT/LOG: 45/45 PER/LDR: 65/55 IM: 4 PSA: Vursk Smuggler (Technician, Environmental, & Physcho-social) Skills: Technician (2), Enviro (1), Physch-soc. (1), Projectile (1) based off the PGC security equipment I gave him a start equipment of: 1 auto pistol 4 clips 1 sonic knife (replace the defense suit with this item to better fit the character concept) Chronocom & polyvox Inertial screen and beltpack Vursk backpack w/ smuggler's pouches (1 flat pouch straps under the carapace and backpack proper has a false bottom/hidden compartment) IR goggles typical pilot's hat w/attached sun goggles to keep wind and dirt out of the eyes when flying open cockpit jetcopters as seen on cover of SF-0 the team is looking for piolets right? 33cr hard cold cash (he doesn't like banks and keeps cash ready to hand) That pretty much leaves buying a few more items of equipment and writing a background though I'm liking the Kidnapper background from the Star Frontiersman article and that would explain why he was on the starliner to Cassidine. Being an opportunist he'll be taking thought of the future almost immediately after the acting captain's announcement. Though he's no front line fighter, he's well positioned to get story share in this campaign- jetcopter pilot and environmental skill, and psyche skills. and would most likely make an excellent supply officer should he be recruited. which brings us to working him into the adventure- if you accept this character concept? EDIT NOTE:I bought IR goggles and updated the background story. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
February 23, 2009 - 2:14pm | Welcome aboard! Were all going to die. |
February 23, 2009 - 3:18pm | Ch'k L't looks fine at first glance. Yes, 4xp+8xp for tech2 and 5xp for enviro1 and psych1 skills. 6xp for the weapon skill and I see you added the remaining 3xp to comprehension. Now I just need an excuse for you to join up with the security guards. That should be easy. |
 February 25, 2009 - 2:06am | Cool, "Chicklet with a checkered past". Always entertaining to have one like that in a group. |
 March 1, 2009 - 6:30pm | Does Chicklet have a candy shell. Maybe he has to check on some "contraband" he stowed away in the cargo hold, and runs foul of security?

September 8, 2009 - 9:24am | Is w00t/Billow still in the game? I was just waiting for his post before going on with another update. I recommend that Billow leave t4 to watch Hilo's room and take an elevator down to help the rest of the group find Chicklet. The group should be together for this next stage. |
September 8, 2009 - 10:06am | grrr... I wish that side had email notifications. :-) Posted - 08 Sep 2009 : 13:04:40 |
September 8, 2009 - 10:09am | Come on, I've been gassed with a dose grenade and cant post anything! I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
September 10, 2009 - 10:17am | Chicklet is awake now, but still feels weak. |
