Teagan Shae Ammer Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 BN- It's the Academics skill that counts. As Yseult said, it's Int + Academics = # of languages you can know. So, for Inoue, she could know 6 languages (5 Int, 1 Academics). As it is, at this point she only knows two (Lantean/Ancient, oddly spoken English). I can weave in her learning/remembering up to 4 more languages before I have to spend xp on it, given ST approval. Do you have a Linguistics skill on your sheet? There shouldn't be, it's just covered as stated above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNinja Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Then I guess I screwed up. I took one point to account for knowing Ancient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goro Kondo Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 According to this Lantean is structurally similar to Latin with similar vocabulary ... at least in the cannon. Dawn is this the case in the game as well? Goro may not have Lantean (or a slot free ATM) but he does know Latin. I'm wondering how to RP this and if it's close as in the series or not/custom.

Dawn OOC Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Heh, this is totally taking a surprise out of the bag I'd planned for you guys... but I was going to have Pegasus galaxy languages that were similar to Earth languages. The logic is that its linguistic convergent evolution, and there are enough similiarities that someone with say, Spanish, would have a chance of understanding aliens who had developed something similar. I wanted to reward people for choosing languages other than Lantan.In this case, anyone who knows a similar language (such as Latin to Lantan) can make a roll (Int + Academics) to understand the alien language; standard difficulty is 2, because this is another galaxy. It might be greater in other circumstances, depending on the variance between the two languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn OOC Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Heads up for this weekend - I'll be at a convention for most of it. Friday and Sunday I won't be online much as I'll be enroute, and the rest of the time I will be having fun (or so I hope). I will be sticking my head into the forums to check on my games, at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Quick question - as BN seems AWOL, that means Tara drifts into the background. Do you guys feel that someone else is qualified to be the group's spokesperson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goro Kondo Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I'll be honest, I'm kinda losing my interest in this game. For me it's mostly the pace. I realize that most everybody else has a ton more games and that making the pace for this one pick up would be difficult for the rest of you but for me I just can't play that way, I lose interest, get frustrated or bored, and lose my motivation to post. That's where I'm at right now. Unmotivated. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Don't apologize for being honest. I'd rather people tell me how they feel about a game and start an open dialogue about the game rather than hem and haw about it.I only have a few questions - is your interest utterly gone, or is there a chance to revive it? Who else is feeling that? What can be done about it, if anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teagan Shae Ammer Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Ditto Jim, here. I don't want to see the game fold at all (I love the setting, I love my character), but the slow pace is making me a drag on the game. Perhaps entering a few new players might also be an idea? I know Jasmine had talked at one point about making essentially a xenopsychologist that could cover for part of the time when BN is away for family/military stuffs. I don't know if anyone else is interested in playing, but it might be a place to start. Dawn, is there anything you want from us as players?

Sgt. Yseult Moreau Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Likewise, I know my posting is greatly affected by the posting in any game I'm - the more others drag their feet - or otherwise can't post - the more I slow down too. I agree with Inoae, with BN being all militarized and stuff, and even Daven not being around much (though he might be affected by the rate of posting like the rest of us), maybe getting an infusion of new players might help pick things up.

Dawn OOC Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Alright, if we want new peeps, who? Jasmine wanted in, I know, and she's out of her busy season. Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Honestly I don't think adding new people is a long term solution. More people means more people that "need to post" between GM postings which just tends to lead to longer waiting periods IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teagan Shae Ammer Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 My intention was to see if Dawn wanted to invite one, maybe two, more players in and have them make characters to flesh out the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Any further thoughts on this? Any ideas for increasing pace other than getting new people? Aside from just poking everyone mercilessly about posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I've given it some thought. Discussed with Carver in chat, given her my feedback and my thoughts. At this point I have decided to remove myself from the game. The good doctor can move back into his TV show guest appearance schedule instead of inexplicably being on the #1 off world team.Goro out.

Sonja Bahaar Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 The only other thing I think would help enable a steady pace is something like a weekly update, if you have the time for such, Dawn. Giving us a deadline, even a lenient one, might entice us to post a little more frequently. And if someone doesn't post, you have full permission to direct their character into any trouble you deem fit. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 I have given this some thought and I'm going to take two weeks to reorganize my thoughts/plans for this game. Additionally, that will give me time to see if Jasmine or anyone else is intersted in joining. If you think someone might want to hop on, have them post here.I'll be rethinking my plans. I think I'm going to scrap this chapter for now; losing chunks of the cast during it made it hard for me to keep going and that showed. So if you have any thoughts for changes to the overall plots/structure, etc, put them here.Hopefully, this will help me get back into the game and get it picked up and going.

Charlie Cole Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Jeremy volunteered me to join. And we're played by the same person... it's freaky. Maybe you should get a team to investigate that. To hell with the 4th wall anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 What is the status for this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Life has distracted me from revamping the game as I planned. I still plan on it; I just haven't had the energy to do so on the planned time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 So today I was told that Davenrell is pulling out of this game. It has to do with RL stuff, including school and work and all the shit that gets us down. That leaves us with Asa, who isn't posting much of anywhere due to no fault of his own, and Mala, who's having her own RL issues. Meanwhile, my inspiration has lagged. So unless someone comes up with a compelling reason to go on, I think we'll just shutter up the game. If you have one, I'm all ears. I'll give it a few days for people to voice their reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Yseult Moreau Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 That's fair enough. Not sure why my posting is so glacial lately. I can keep up with threads where others are posting regularly, but if it's slow, I slow down too, and I haven't been able to start fics of my own, despite wanting to.

jameson (ST) Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Could be a little bit of burnout. I know I have been feeling similarly since early this summer (hence my precipitous drop off in site activity). Best bet is to give it time and don't force yourself. Sorry about the game Dawn.

Dawn OOC Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'm going to take on last stab here, mostly because Mala loves this game and I think it could be awesome. Plus, I was ready to put Dalton in the grave and you guys brought it back. So, I'm willing to consider anyone for this game. If you're interested, please post your desire to play in this thread, along with a concept. If no one has an objection to you, I'll accept a submission from you. Any takers?

Charlie Cole Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I still am interested... I need to work on the concept though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasmine Gentian Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'm still willing to make a character for this game, Dawn, if some other people are showing interest. I know I lagged on it because I was creating so many new characters - Aradia for WoDA, and the tabletop game we were going to be in that fell through. So I was kind of on burnout. But I'll try to get Moira put together for this game. Assuming, of course, that she's going to be an appropriate character with a smaller crew of posters. Does the concept still hold up for the game as is or do I need to make some adjustments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
