Jonny,

I believe that you are new to role playing, and very accustomed to roll playing. From personal experience, it is sometimes very difficult to make the transition when you are used to one or the other. My first GM (back in 1998) liked the sound of the dice hitting the table, so the game was all about the rules and characters statistics. When I first attended collage I joined a different player group (in 2001) and that GM loved to create drama. I participated in a game under him that we played three times a week for four months before I rolled dice for an in-game reason. After experiencing both extremes I decided I like both aspects of the game and as a GM I aim for the center.

In this game, it is my goal to create memorable encounters that involve no dice, and others that involve lots of dice. The reason I said "that would be cheating" earlier with a smiley face after it was because, after I realized that none of you had holsters, I had created a fun non-combat encounter that would provide the needed items. Because I will not make players do anything, I was trying to playfully get you to resolve the situation in-game to run through what I had created. (Since I am telling you about it I will use the situation later in the game.)

Also, in my experience, the player's characters have to interact with each other and develop their own group dynamics. If one character is always causing trouble, becomes a liability, or does not mesh with the others I will not force the group to stay together. Though you can play you character however you want, so can the other players. Please remember this as you work through the personality of your character and the actions that he takes.

So far it has been a very rocky start. But I am willing to give you one more chance. I have changed your characters Dexterity and Intelligence both to 13, and exchanged the Shake it Off feat for Skill Training (Knowledge [galactic lore]) feat as you requested. The change to the characters Dexterity effected his reflex defense, ranged attack, and pilot skill. This is the last time that I am modifying the character, any further changes to the statics will have to be through level progression.

You did just edit your character... You changed two abilities and exchanged a feat...

If you are talking about me posting the character for the first time in the character thread, the revised stats are already there. Like I originally said, in that thread you are responsible for "post[ing] character sheet updates to this thread so that you have a running history of the character at each CL." What that means is that at forth level and each level after you will be responsible for posting ether the revisions to the character, or complete updated stats in a new post.

Oh, and to all:

I am available tomorrow after 8:30 pm EST. You will need to have Skype and the RPG mod for Vassal working by then.

Does that mean we are having an online session tonight? Or did you just want to make sure we had everything we need for a future date?

Yes

[edit] All player receive 960 XP for the events that have transpired through the Vassal session on Saturday Oct. 22, 2011. Note that all the players are not at the same experience because of backgrounds and posting requirements.

So how do we know our total XP? Will you private message us or will you just make a post on the character forum?

I was planing on tracking XP and just letting you know when the character leveled up (so I did not have to post the +/-50 XP's). I am open to other options though.

Post subject:  Re: Dawn of Defiance PBP/Vassel Game (No Openings)

Well, it would be nice to know how close we are to leveling up...

I was still going to post XP after encounters like I did above so you would have an idea. If you all would prefer, I can post current XP after encounters.

Sorry about the double post.

I thought that you (the players) wanted to do something before going to the warehouse. If not, I will move the game there when i get home from work today (6pm EST).

I thought that you were not available. And I need to work out a time that works with my wife and kids if we are going to have a vassal session. Is this what everyone wants to do?

I will be out of town this weekend unfortunately. I should be back Sunday afternoon for a session, but don't postpone on my account. You all decide what day and time works best for the group and I'll make it if I can.

Sincerely,
Jester007
