This might be a great opportunity to introduce the "Criminal Connections" aspect of Dreanna. Maybe have an Alguacil tasked to look into the Do Nacimento's "Accident" and find that a "Pyromaniac Bakunin Freak" with ties to a Bakunin Gang was not only part of the crew, but also one of the survivors? Fishy, to say the least.
O.K. Thanks to anyone for their ideas and interjections about how to frame everything for "THEIR Intro"; now that I SHOULD have far more free time in the Weekend then I SHOULD be able to write down "Personalized Custom Introductions" that will allow any P.C. to follow some "Plot Hooks Leads" and totally ignore others. . . Should have ALSO the time to perfect some Concept Works and Rough Arts for everyone; @inane.imp 's Character + T.A.G. Roughs are in "Drawn B.W." from almost 2-3 weeks and still R.W. Issues had stopped Me to progress overmuch) and HOPEFULLY give anyone the Most "Immersive and Entertaining" R.P.G. Campaign that I could be able to do. . . Also I plan to print the Sheets of the P.C. that anyone provided and consult them flank-to-flank (and maybe also "Run Some Mental Simulations" !!), only possible manner for Me to check if anyone is enough well-balanced. . .
I'll upload my character in a few hours I have an Infinity game in a bit. edit: I'm sorry having trouble accessing a PC. Can do it tomorrow for sure.
@loricus, don't stress overmuch, it will be done when it will be done. . . @oldGregg, was thinking to have ALSO Your Character being "Still on Orbit" awaiting for the Shuttle that will bring Him towards Planet Dawn and New Knossos Island. . . The developed parts of Your P.C. background is almost all centered on Bourak and so could be interesting that the "Haqqislamite Branch" of the Biker Gang (the Kums of Layla Bey) had "Ordered" the most powerful, lethal enforcer that could be obtained by their Khanate. . . Also there is a fertile "Genengineering Market" that is developing on the Minotaurs Base with "Radical Technologies" usually proscribed on the Haqqislamite Homeland that are instead flourishing there due to the Bakunite Praxis "Black Lab Technicians" working hand-in-hand with the few "Tohaa Renegades" to employ the excellent "Raw Material" of Antipodes / Wulvers / Dogwarriors (and other "Predator Megafauna" Genome of the Dawn) to have new and improved Pupniks, Chimeras and Morlocks. . . This wil give You the option to start interacting with @inane.imp and @Danger Rose in a "relaxed environment" and struck some contacts with the crews of the Haqqislamite Cargo Ship (that is relieved from duty and go back to Bourak) and the Nomads Orbital Tender (that just arrived and will stay many months in Geostat Orbit directly over New Knossos Island). . .
Keeping in head also the "Last Minutes Ideas" I think that Late Tonight (Rome Time Zone) then I will be able to post the Opening "In Game" Thread with all the "Personalized Introductions" along with more generic "Flavour Ones". . . Work-In-Progress. . . . .!!!
Well I was asked for insane. Then I realized RPG has no penalty to Personality for dogfaces, merely adds difficulty levels in Dogwarrior form... I blame the rulebook and fact I am QA, automatically looking for fringe cases in most programs.
GGGRRRRRrrrrr. . . . .!!! Totally forgot that Tomorrow (25 th of April) is National Holiday here in Italy ("Deliverance from Nazist / Fascist" or something similar) and so a LOT of Clients asked for Deadlines to be solved at "Last Minute Emergencies". . . And Family also ask for services to be rendered (read: "Do Something that They don't want to Do !!") along with those issues. . .!! I'm behind schedules for the things that I wanted to start for the Game, but hopefully between Today Afternoon and Tomorrow (that is Holiday for EVERYONE and so I will close the Work Number Cell. Phone !!) and will progress forward. . . . .!!!
@stevenart74, please take your time my friend, you have done a lot already. You're also giving me time to get the next short story of my Wrecking Belles out of the way.
Should be SURELY for the Weekend (even before, but is a "Long Holiday Break" here in Italy, between 25th. of April "End of Nazi Occupation" and 1st. of May "Workers' Day"; this means LESS hassles from Jobs but MORE issues with Parents / Siblings / Relatives that "Need JUST an Itty-Bitty, Tiny Favour. . ." !!!) and would be good for a decisive Start. . . Currently working on writing the Introductions, Personalized "Starting Plot-Hooks" and even some Rough Concept Art for the Island Base and the various roles of the Characters. . . Work-In-Progress (unless "Blood" come to harass Me !!!). . . . .
By the way, check the "Ammo Reload" thread discussion started by @AdmiralJCJF in this same Subforum. . . I started to discuss some "Munition Houserules" that could be very important for ALL of Your Characters. . . . .!!!
Honestly I really like the idea of Munitions in the rules as they are. They apply a constraint on extremely strong abilities. Constraints are good, they force us to be creative. I'd recommend that we don't change them for at least the 'training' scene: we can always revisit it afterwards. I was planning on ~6 Reloads per GL, which gives me 12 Grenades (or probably 4 x 3 types / 2 x 6 types). Which seems sufficient unless we're planning on fighting a land war in Tartary. Equally somewhere between 6-12 reloads per Combi seems about right. Probably on the lower end. Add in 2 reloads for the Panzerfaust and that's an extensive toolkit.
As I said previously some Ammunition Rules are "Broken / Unbalanced" and will need to be re-tweaked a bit. . . BUT THIS WILL NOT MEAN "retconning" but rather than too powerful Stuff "R.A.W." will have Rarer Disponibility and far Costlier Acquisition Rules (so not EASY obtaining of T2 Combirifle Ammo "Whole Clips" but rather SINGLE Bullets to be manually charged in the firing chamber). . . I don't like overmuch the "Acquisition Casual Rolls" of Infinity as done by Modiphius (that they ported directly from "Mtant Chronicles" where a rich "Dilettante Corporate Kid" could go around with Top-Notch Weapons & Armour, bought at a Surplus Luxury Armoury, while a "Veteran Brotherhood Demon-Hunter" could be reduced, by unlucky rolls, to go around poorer than a Sewer Mutant). . .!!
O.K. Some issues sorted and a lot of complications solved after Yesterday was ALL taken by a "Big Sex Date" and THEN an "Informational" Meeting with My best friend (that is also a very competent Physician and M.D.) and I can concentrate fully on starting the Game in the best manner. . . This evening everything SHOULD be done and ready to roll. . . I'm thinking to leave THIS Thread as a "Generic Information / Discussion" for any kind of unspecific Campaign Q&A; then I will open the In-Character (I.C.) Thread where there will be description, "Art Images" and Roleplaying "Banter" between the P.C. and the N.P.C. (Friends, Foes & "Simple Bystanders") that SHOULD be done with the utmost of effort by anyone. . . And opening ANOTHER thread, reserved for Out-Of-Character (O.O.C.) infos and data-dumps where will be question about "Situational Awareness" from the Players P.O.W. rather than the Characters' one; direct questions to the G.M BEFORE a Character is forced to do a choice and roll dices (I think also in the O.O.C. would be done the "Link" to Dice-Rollers Programs, with all relevant "Metadatas" and leave PERHAPS just the "Final Outcome" in the I.C. thread; I'm partial to "Orokos" but anyone could choose what is preferred !!) and also "Purely Tactical" Maps & Designs. . . What do You think about it all. .? Questions. . .?? Different Suggestions. . . . .??? @inane.imp ? @loricus ? @oldGregg ? @Danger Rose ? @Golem2God ? @Beodren ?
