MUST PLAY MOAG!

I must ramble on behalf of all those whose lack of MOAG is as bad as mine.

Ramble, ramble, ramble.....

To conclude this rambling, I will make a promise that I will play MOAG this weekend or someone will suffer! (most likely me)

Another 30 minute character study... OF DOOM!

Okay, here's another one. It's a nareskan if you can't guess. I changed his mouth a little, to be less human. It looked a little too much like a dude with a star fish on his forehead before. Anyway, I like it, but your comments are welcome.

Turned out really nice for 30 minutes.

I see your 'Shops' and I'll raise you a 'Shop' of my own.

Well, here's a quick illy I did in Photoshop. I really wasn't planning on doing anything in particular, maybe a klisk, or something, but as the drawing progressed, the Conar came out. I like it, and I'll try to do one for each of the species, just a quick study or something like that. I see this gentleman as a Captain of a small attack ship, or possibly a platoon leader. The orange is basically a tattoo/rank marking, anyway, enjoy, I'll see if I can do some more.

The Ultimate Equalizer-O-Matic. Of Doom.

Okay, so reading the post about Player characters starting out as High Level Bad @#%$#@!! got me thinking: "What would be the ultimate way to equalize a biological/robotic implant-improvement to any character?" I had a lot of ideas, ranging from anything from putting a skill point requirement (A player-character must have earned 5000 XP before they would even begin to know who to approach for a "brain box") to making the player keep accurate track of time played, seeing as the brain box can only be "mobile" for 3 hours until it shutsdown, which wouldn't be too good. I personally liked this one, imagine the sight of a highly evolved Brain Box getting stuck in a sticky situation because the extension chord only reaches 50 feet and he hasn't charged up his internal battery because he spent the previous evening putting the moves on the trashy old IBM at the local Cybercafe.

So this got me really thinking. Why should we be limited by rational thought? Why not put some really crazy limitations on cybernetic enhancements that make it a crapshoot as to whether you want to do it or not! So with out any further ado, I bring you the ULTIMATE EQUALIZER-O-MATIC. Of DOOM!

The rules are simple You post a comment listing a way to equalize player characters. Only it CANNOT make sense. Or at least it shouldn't be feasible just because of the absurdity of it all! Okay Have fun and don't forget to wear a helmet!

Here's my official entry:

There is no cost limitation or XP limitation for a brain box. The Player character does all of his character generation and gets all of his super high rolls. When he has soiled himself in the warm glow of his mega-character, then the GM drops this little bombshell:
"Okay, now you have to know one thing about the brain box. One of your attributes is totally bogus. I'm not going to tell you which one, but when you get into battle and your strength really turns out to be a 5 instead of a 30, don't say I didn't warn you". Or how about this! After character creation is finished, the GM has the Player roll a 4 sided die for an undisclosed reason. When the player character finally asks what "extra" skills his '4' gets him, the GM calmly tells him that's how many of his attributes are bogus, again, not telling the player which ones. Or to really get the player character to soil themselves, don't tell them about the bogus attribute until they happen to "find out" they only have a strength of 5 after they engage in a bar fight with a horde of drunken Klisks.

Okay, I could go on all day. Anyway, let's see what you got!

Me, Myself and I ....and that one girl....

I probably should have posted this before my last post but I didn't, so oh well!

Anyways, as you know I'm Punk-Rokk Princess (aka Booger, aka Mandy, etc.) Sorry its taken me so long to get on the site. We had some technically difficulties with my user name and stuff, but now its all good! I'm the original punk-rokk princess and I don't care what you fools have to say about it! "You shall worship me as if I were a God!!" (RvB) and you can give me lots of cake too!

Yea, so you all should know who I am now. Bot just said it would be a good idea to do this... just in case some people didn't know :)

The Unreasonable Rolls

Do you ever get the feeling that some people can't ever lose at rolling? And that sometimes people have such a "high roll" on EVERYTHING that your poor little character doesn't even stand a fighting chance?
If so, then you have come to the right place...

Honestly, I'm just gonna vernt right here. Right now. And if I offend anyone... well tough cookie sister! I'm really sick of playing with these "super-so-called-characters"
My first character I had to freakin earn a ton of XP just to make her, shall we say, less-dumb? And I'll admit that she was pretty good at a lot of things, only because I got lucky and rolled a pair of REAL dice. But some people's children don't roll real dice. They roll "electronically". Now, I'm not naming names, but most of you should know who I'm talking about.
We have no clue as to whether or not they are cheating on their rolls because they don't include themselves in the group really. I mean, I can sit there and be thinking "hmm...well I'm good at that. I could roll that easy enough" and then BAM! Someone is like "I bet it be 37!" and I'm like "Are you for real?!" And this person has made their character AFTER I have spent months playing. There is freakin no one you can be that high on something, unless you spent like every point on that one attribute. But this is for EVERYTHING! I swear, I don't think this person has ever had a bad roll. EVER! And that just can't be bloody fair.
Its not cool that someone can just jump into the game and have a "super-so-called-character" among the rest of us "average-characters" Now, I know that some of you have played for way longer then me, but you have all worked to get your characters super bad-A. This person hasn't. Un-cool. I swear, my character is gonna lose it one of these days and just kill him before you can say "Cheese and rice!!"
Honestly, its ok to lose sometimes. Don't cheat on your rolls and use real dice. Its not going to kill you. My character died because of a bad roll (and cause I also said "just push the button") but you dont see me crying over it! I thought it wasa freakin awesome and it was probably the funnest times.... except that one time I got ate by that one huge eyeball thing..... that was pretty sweet, I wont lie.

Anyways, so yea.... thats my taxed-thoughts

The Truth about the Conar Invasion

Well hello everyone. Yes, it really is me, Salvaggio. I must apologize for not staying in touch, but I seriously thought we'd all be dead by now, so what was the point. Heh. Well now. Yeah, about that... You know... I just...

Whew. Glad I got that off my chest. Things are still pretty hectic around here. Work is just starting to hit Alpha (that means it's time to get ready to ship the game, for those of you not familiar with such verbage), so my time at work is getting pretty hectic, and I also have a lot of freelance stuff to get done as well. Also, last month was a big month family wise, what with my oldest turning 8, and all that goes with that (Shadowwire and Bot should know what I am talking about). But I wont bore you with family stuff here, that and I don't feel comfortable writing about my children on the internets.

Okay, moving on. As you can see from the title of the post, this should be about the so called Conar invasion. Turns out, Pablo, you where half right. They DID invade on the aforementioned date, just not here. However, if you were to ask the proud citizens of Arkenfoofel IV how the invasion went, you'd get no response from their smoking, rotten shells. The few Conar Troops I was able to speak to seem to think it was an enjoyable experience. So take that with a grain of salt.

Anyway, I'll try to post more often, so here's another one of my half-finished art pieces.
