Recruiting for an existing game

[Sherwood]

I have a Robotech game that has been running on this site for nearly 3 years that is in need of some new blood. It is set in deep space with the REF fighting the Invid, with a few twists and turns tossed in to keep the players on their toes. This is a serious game, so please, no silly characters.


Here is a link to the game for those that would like to take a quick peek


@Mrs Hesperus, and @Teh Frixz. There was a fourth, but @Millershipper has vanished for several weeks and there has been no contact from him.

 

[ehmygirl]

Yes, come join and kill Invid

 

[vinom]

Is this position open to experience roleplayers who aren't familiar with the Robotech or the Palladium system?

 

[ehmygirl]

Chortle, I'm still figuring it out. Gladly my husband is patient

 

[vinom]

I meant me ( )

 

[ehmygirl]

I know

 

[vinom]

Apologies, I have a hard time reading tone over pure text.

 

[Sherwood]

Yes, I am willing to work with people on the system. The important part of the game to me is the fun of the story, not necessarily the game crunch. If you are interested, I have multiple templates made up of characters to choose from that I had made up for the very first players. These include various fighter pilots, military specialists and a field scientist.

 

[vinom]

Hmm, what about a weapon engineer / pilot with a bit of amateur archeologist in him?

 

[Sherwood]

The Field Scientist would be good for that. It is not as combat optimized as the straight Alpha or Beta pilots, but has a lot of science skills that can be of use to the party.

 

[Sherwood]

So, @vinom, are you saying yes to joining in on this game? If so, let me know so I can bump the game forward.


Also, even if the answer is yes, I can still take a few more people in this campaign.

 

[vinom]

Hmm, Ya, I like the sound of this game, and field scientist sounds like a good niche. Might not be the best pilot or gunner in a fight in a nebula, but I know exactly which gaseous strata is likely to chain combust when you apply laser fire.

 

[Sherwood]

Sounds great. I have one other person that is asking questions right now about the game, so you may not be the only newcomer to the shindig. I have a link to the board up on the first post of this thread, so you can take a look at the characters file, scroll down until you see the spoiler with the Field Scientist. From there, you can look over the science skills and see if there is something that you really want that you don't see, and you can do a copy/paste of the character into a new thread and add a name and photo if you so choose.

 

[Yang Xiao Long]

Can I join, this sounds fun.

 

[Sherwood]

Of course. I have one other confirmed joiner, you will be the second. There is a link to the game on the first page of this thread so you can go and look at the templates I have made up for the game. Are you familiar with Robotech, both the system and the story?

 

[Yang Xiao Long]

Not at all, I'm just looking for an active DRPG.

 

[Sherwood]

No worries. I have several people that are unfamiliar with the system in the game. I am more focused on the fun of the story than the mechanics.

 

[Yang Xiao Long]

Well I'm like a single to two paragraph writer, I have been trying to get better but writing isn't my best trait.

 

[Sherwood]

Thats fine. Is there a specific idea of a character you are looking for? I can help to steer you in the direction that will work best for you.

 

[Yang Xiao Long]

Pilot or some one who uses drones. Are there an VTOL gunship mechs or mechs similar to a harrier?

 

[SephirothSage]

Might I return, and perhaps resurrect Shiganaru?


*Or just make someone new, he has been gone a longass time.*

 

[Sherwood]

I welcome your return. IIRC, Shig was enhanced with the Crazy implants, right? I just need to think of a reason for you to have been gone for a while and then return. Possibly you were undergoing some therapy and additional micro surgeries to try and counteract the growing level of mental instability.

 

[SephirothSage]

He was taken off duty for Therapy, it works, yeah.


I like that, it makes sense and- well. How long IC was he gone? Cus- yes, he was a Crazy.

 

[Sherwood]

I will have to come up with a answer for you on that. I'm not sure how long it was in the game. But the good news is, you have been able to avoid the effects of your growing insanity for a time. Go ahead and make a post in the OOC thread that you are coming back, and I'll work on a post in the IC thread to say you are coming out of therapy and returning to your squad shortly.
