Traveller, Portland, OR. Game is ON.

[Ref00000]

This is a replacement Thread for the '45 days from now' topic.
Reason; to be accurate and current.
The Game is Running. I have a couple of potential players, who I hope will show up. I have one fully generated PC. It's a start, and well, that certainly means an intense experience for the Ship-Tracer in question.
We're using Mongoose Traveller, for now, I decided to keep the learning curve down in case I reeled in someone off the Game Store floor. MT is pretty darn playable with minimal effort, and I know it very well, so less time looking in book means better Ref-ing.
In any case, we're Playing at Guardian Games, a stunningly cool, huge, FLGS in Portland. Game is WEEKLY, at 1600 local time, Saturdays. We'll play until they throw us out, which is likely 2200, but if we can, we'll keep the action going as long as we can stand.
No experience needed, highly experienced Ref., mature, serious players prefered.
We'll be in the back, where the beer is served.
Hope you'll join us.
I should probably try and link the other thread here, but I'm forgetting how to do that. Little help there, anyone?

quick locative note, and parameters;
Human, Vargr and Aslan PCs are going to be the norm.
if you want something else, we'll talk.
location-
UTHE/GVURRDON

Umm, would there be any spots for guys who work most Saturdays and have babies at home? I would be somewhat sporadic.

 

[Ref00000]

we'll try. I want players.

that said, I want to be clear, but not mean about it.
here goes:
I totally grok that "IRL TRUMPS GAME". I'm a grown-up, just like you. If I get a Job that insists on Sat., we'll be restructuring, instantly, for example.
I really prefer regular attendance to floating maybes. It's a serious commitment of my time and resources, and that of the other players to do this. If you can do every other, maybe? We need more folks, and I like a smaller game, but having to NPC a PC rapidly causes the old 'I would never have done that!' issue.
I do NOT take PCs 'out of action' when their Players aren't there. It just doesn't work. So in short, YES. there is room.
caveat: if you don't show, I have to run the Character. that may mean "Wild Ron stays on the ship, in orbit, while the other crew deal with the situation dirtside." It may mean "when the ship in orbit is chased by pirates/the Navy/a giant space-slug (ok that last one's probably not happening, I do a light cinematic, mostly hard sci-fi game), he gets in trouble."
I'll try and not kill you outright, and no one wants to be 'Robin, the Boy-Hostage', but it might not go the way you like.

Done.

thank you, Sir!

that was mighty nice of you, Badger.
if you're going to be dropping by Guardian, on Sat. (any Sat., offer does not expire) I'll stand you a round, (if I'm able) or, My Lady bakes, and plans on sending me along with cookies. {that's a broad hint, if you have a pref., or any dietary prohibitions, tell me. she makes a gluten-free brownie, that no lie, I bet you can't tell isn't standard issue}
I like to keep a solid line of positive cred.

Thanks, but I'm about 2000 miles away from you, so I'll just munch a virtual brownie instead. Nom nom nom!

for some reason I

thought you were closer. my bad, didn't mean to tease.

 

[Ref00000]

02NOV13-Game On.

two players, a Type S, and a dream.
we have a functional campaign, my friends.
still looking to fill at least two more seats, with PCs
(to my potential players out there- respect and love, guys. this would, if you could make it, be an ideal week to get Characters together. if you grab those seats, even as occasional live bodies, I'll lock down the crew, and we'll work around the issues)
see you Sat.! table is reserved in The Critical Sip at Guardian Games.
New players welcome! bring d6s and a pencil.

 

[darue]

you know what? This sounds great! I should be there tomorrow (the 2nd), I'll probably be a little bit early.

 

[Ref00000]

we have a full crew!

total of 4 regulars, looking at 2 additional potential 'intermittent' players.
it seems that The Rose City Downport is getting new traffic. 'The Long Night' is over.
