Because World of Warcraft has been the leading culprit in dumbing down the genre to make it easy enough for the mainstream audience who has never heard of an MMO before to hop in and enjoy. Now, this isn't necessarily bad. But the soaring popularity of World of Warcraft has pigeonholed the entire industry into creating clones in order to be successful.

That works.

I would like to have an early afternoon game if we played Monday, but the problem with that is I would have colin. I couldn't run a game with that many people and watch the little guy. If I ran a late game I'd have to get up for work on Tuesday. Not fun either way.

Maybe next time. As for as anyone else on a Friday, they are all welcome.

When I am a guest at a convention I am there to entertain people and add to the fun they have at the event. thus, unless the game session is advertised as one where the objective is to kill the PCs--and I've done a few of those--I try to keep PCs alive. Of course if a player doesn't want to have his character survive, the natural selection process of the game environment will take over.

I have an idea since they started this manditory overtime for everyone (including contractors - Email was sent Monday Bob) that I could work extra hours during my normal days and a few on Monday and we can try a monday afternoon game at the lan center.

UPDATE:
If we do this one time game then to expedite things I will create the characters and let people choose from the available characters.

Due to space limitations at the lan center it might be a better idea to play at my home.

Possible line up:
Bob
Bob Friend #1
Bob Friend #2
Dan
Joe
Kraz
Muffins
ME

That is 8 people, I don't think we can cram 8 into that space.

Let me know your thoughts.

I still want to play the 15th as well as monday the 18th.

My plan for the over time is to work an extra hour every day I'm normally here. 4 days and 4 hours, we need 8. My plan would be to work 4 hours of OT on Monday. Prolly 9:30-1:30. It takes me 40 minutes to get home. Game could be around 2:30 till whenever. This gives me a guild free reason to have Colin at my parents.

I'll keep you guys posted.

To save a lot of time creating characters here is the plan if we go ahead and play monday. All the players that don't have characters are part of a ship called the Kharon. That is all you need to know at this point. I already created the following characters:

The captain of the Kharon, a medium transport that frequently traded along the The Harrin Trade Corridor. Soldier – level 3

The pilot of the Karon. Scout – level 3

The first officer of the Karon – Jedi 1 / Scout 2

The engineer of the Karon. Scoundrel – level 3

First come first serve.

If we need more I will make more.

I know some people don't like playing pre generated characters, but this will speed things up 100 times. Now that I've completed most of the characters I wanted to give some more information on the builds I was doing.

Every person is playing a human they are just easier to create.

The thing to remember about these builds is that just because I listed them as a pilot or a engineer that doesn't mean they can't do other things, that just means they are really good at those things.

The Captains Build. I've built ranged specialists before but the captains build is based on melee weapons. Specifically talents and feats that allow him to do a butt load of damage. I don't have the sheet on me now, but when I left him last night he could do 3d10+8 damage with his vibro ax and his talents and feats. It might be more but I'd have to check when I get home.

The Pilot build. This is your typical scout build with some piloting skill. The feats and talents I created for this character are based around being stealthy and fast.

The first officer build. This is my favorite build because this is the only character that I have a semi back story for which flows into the current story. The character only has one level of Jedi that is due to his master being killed during the second great purge (check the rest of the forum if you want more information about that). I was trying to be fair on his Jedi powers and still be fun, so I had him take rebuke and force slam. The characters scout levels allow this character to use blasters or his light saber.

I'll be honest, I have not created the engineer build, but that won't be hard.

Bob asked a good question. He said he wanted to play a bounty hunter.

There is a bounty hunter prestige class, but that won't be reached until level 7+.

The prestige class just gives you cool abilities more suited for a bounty hunter but that doesn't mean you are not a bounty hunter if you don't take levels in the prestige class. If that was true then no one would ever really be a bounty hunter until they can get the prestige class.

The point I'm trying to make is that these character builds are just the stats for the characters. Anyone is welcome to add any fluff to the characters story or occupation. If Bob really wants to be a bounty hunter then guess what Bob is a bounty hunter. Would he be part of the current Bounty Hunters Guild? I doubt it they are in the middle of their own civil war if I remember correctly. So as part of Bob's characters story is if he wants to be an independent bounty hunter then that is the back story and is perfectly acceptable.

Character fluff is welcome as long as it is reasonable.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I live next to the boarded up house. It has been vacant for over three years. You can park in the back up my driveway, but due to the snow there isn't as much room as there normally is.

I have ugly green siding as well so finding my house isn't hard during the day. It is a little messy and xmas stuff is still up all over the place but oh well.

I have plenty of soda but not food.
