I thought I might as well drop this in here after the last recruitment session.
My game, "A long way from home" is looking for players. I have lost two people, and now only have three. If you feel like getting involved in a game of high guard, playing officers and gentlemen in the Royal Britannian Navy, post here or message me. Right now the only posts taken are Medical, XO, Engineering and Gunnery. There are lots left :)
 
I wouldnt mind joining. Please let me know what I need to put in a character (I like Scouts and Pirates, but I also wouldnt mind making a High Guard Naval char for the first time - the Fighter Pilot seems cool).

Anyways, I'm interested.
 
Well, here is list of available positions:
Helm
Nav.+sensors Officer
Marine CO

It's a 9000 ton light cruiser you would be stationed aboard. They are currently in combat, but you can jump in any time one ready (i.e. once you have flicked through the thread and sent me your character.)
There is a complement of 52 marines aboard, who are deployed by 6 boarding craft (6x8 man squads, 1x4 man command unit)
Nav and sensors can be combined if you think the post has too little to offer.

There are probably more, so offer stuff if you think it needs something.
 
I'll probably go for Helm, for a change in character type than I usually play plus I can use High Guard to make a Naval char that seems interesting.

How would I build the char, point-buy or random roll from invisible castle?

How many terms do I need? I usually stick to three.

Also, where is the thread to check through?
 
Random rolls
Max limit on terms is 5, minimum 1 (obviously)
Thread is here:

Cool. I have a bit of a busy day, but I shall be rolling up a character later. I havent got an invisiblecastle account (I tried signing up but never recieved an activation e-mail :? ), but luckily I can still roll on it, and I'm an honest gamer.

I shall link all rolls made from the website into my char sheet. I'll keep my Helm guy at 3 terms atm aswell.

Thanks for the opportunity! I will post my character later, feel free to help with my background story once its done as I tend to struggle for a while until I hit an idea and write loads then!

My Cstars character, Ace Harlock, in the Cthulhutech forum Pbp Pendragon is an idea of what I can write like! :)

Scroll to last post on the first page :wink:
 
See that thread, in the universe thread it has the worlds...
Re-roll your characteristics. You're supposed to be good at your job :P
 
You can keep those ones :)
There are 5 homeworlds I believe. At least in Britannia. And no you cant come from somewhere else...
 
I'll take Britannia.

I get 3 background skills, I'll take Computers 0 and Streetwise 0 from the homeworld.

For my third background skill I'm taking Medic 0 from the Education list.

For my first term I'm rolling to see if I can get to Crewman: Planetary Navy. I'll spend a term here then go to Flight: Helm.

I need to roll 5+

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3034950

8, phew! :lol:

So my basic training is;

Pilot 0, Vacc-Suit 0, Zero-G 0, Discipline 0, Mechanic 0, Gun Combat 0.
 
Planetary navy is the local dedicated defence forces around the home worlds, and yours would be Britannia. A damn good posting. They've seen a lot of action, but they rarely falter.

By the way the biggest ship in existence is about 30,000 tons. I like big ships, but no too big :P
A planetary defence vessel ranges from 100-10,000 tons

(Something else to discuss, Barnest)

Roll for Commision;

I need an 8 or more...

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3035238

5, didnt make commission. No worries, still at Rank E4 then.

My character is now 30 and ready to continue.

So... How do things like Benefits, Connections and Campaign skill packs work?

Also, any ideas about the birth/death and special mission events? I had a thought about my char having an illegitimate lovechild out there somewhere for the first event :roll:
The special mission, I'd like to hear some thoughts on.
 
You get benefits. There aren't any connections or campaign skill packs...
I like the idea of the illegitimate love child. I am tickled.

Special mission: Penetration into enemy space by your ship... hell, how about one of the past battles I listed... i'll repost here:

The bombardment of Oncier: This action saw a small long range flotilla jump into one of the Red Star hegemonies colony systems, unleash a barrage of torpedoes into the planet across three hours, and then jump away into deep space again. Only six of the original eleven destroyers returned, but the damage they caused has kept the Red Star Hegemony on the back foot for some time
Click to expand...

How about that?
 
Ok, sounds cool! :)

I'll keep the idea of the lovechild as that tickles me and my gf too! :lol:

Benefit rolls... If I'm E4 (thats a Petty Officer 3rd class or a Corporal in the British Royal Navy btw :wink: ) then I get... 5 rolls, is that correct? (As I get 3 rolls for the terms, plus I got to Rank 4 equivalent - which is +2 rolls)

I'll make the rolls later anyway :)
