I just rolled up a Traveller character under the Mongoose rules. Here it is:
Ex-Marine Trooper (Support - Comms); 3½ Terms; 979494; 32 years old
Homeworld: Yurst (Spinward Marches / Regina 0709 E-7B4-643-5 Fl Lt Ni)
Homeworld Skills: Seafarer-0; Survival-2; Comms-1.
Service Skills (Basic Training): Athletics (Long-Distance Running)-0; Battle Dress-0; Tactics (Military)-0; Heavy Weapons (FGMP/PGMP)-0; Gun Combat (Assault Rifle)-0; and Stealth-0.
Service Skills: Battle Dress-1; and Heavy Weapons (FGMP/PGMP)-1.
Specialist Skills: Comms-2.
Wealth: Cr5000
Awards: Travellers' Aid Society Membership
Education: High School Graduate
Bio: Born and raised on the fluidic, low-tech, non-industrial world of Yurst, you saw enlistment in the Marines as your ticket out of hardship and poverty. You applied for special training in electronics, and were accepted into the Tactical Communications School. You eventually advanced to the rank of E3 without ever seeing combat, until the civil disorders in the Regina Subsector during the early to mid-1100's. Your bravery in keeping your post and preventing the insurgents from capturing it and the Noble in charge earned you a commendation, a promotion to E4, and TAS membership. Unfortunately, you were Severely Injured In Action during the uprisings, which slowed you down (reduced DEX) and cost you your military career, so you were also awarded a medical discharge.

I might be interested! I never played the pen and paper version but I adored Planescape: Torment. |

just one question. what is RP here? the form of RP iv always done is alot different to what iv seen here. basicly, a user will be a charecter and post the actions and words of thier charecter. then the other person involved in it will do the same. and so on. well... that was kind of a bad description. but basicly it ends up looking like a book with each person posting about thier charecter (as many can join the rp as they like)

I think I know what you mean. This is much like the table-top RPGs of the 1980's, like AD&D and Traveller, wherein one of the players functions as an actor/director, and the other players function as actor/scriptwriters. They all operate from a plot synopsis that was generated by or for the actor/director (Referee).
1) The referee describes the activities and conditions around the players' characters.
2) The players determine the actions for their characters
3) The players report thohse actions to the referee.
3) The referee determines the effects that the players' actions have on the activities and conditions around the players' characters.
4) Repeat from step 1 until the game is complete, until the snacks run out, or until the players are run out of the game site.

the one im on about is similer to that but minus referee. almost anything goes. minus two rules.
1. you cant say what anothers char does
2. you dont know others names/info untill you've asked or if youve discussed it with that person and your chars have a background or somthing (this varies from forum/game)
and often the location is decided by the first poster but anyone can be anywhere if they want to. its basicly kinda like a book. is it okay to request that kind of rp here?

Coregazer,
A couple of changes then:
1) The referee describes the activities and conditions around the players' characters, and is the sole source for that infomation.
2) The players determine the actions for only their own characters
3) The players report those actions to the referee.
3) The referee determines the effects that the players' actions have on the activities and conditions around the players' characters.
4) Repeat from step 1 until the game is complete, until the snacks run out, or until the players are run out of the game site.

right... i mean im guessing i could probably just post up the kind of rp im talking about. i did that one time anywho but i kind of forgot about the thread so it kind of died  . but anywho. i dont really like the idea of a referee. and what is a complete game? in the rp im on about it just flows naturally and people post. there isn't often an ending. only a theme. lemme show you an example. http://forums.champions-online.com/showthread.php?t=5608. this thread was great untill some random people started really going outside of the theme of the thread. 1-6 were the best parts. heh ^^. i loved that part. but thats the kind of thing im talking about. nothing in that was planned really. oh and double brackets mean ooc. so ((lol, zomg helloz. howz u?)). so basicly in double brackets you can type whatever you want. helps for disgussing whats happening etc or if your confused or whatever.
btw. sorry if any of that sounded... i dont know... i feel it didn't sound very nice. so.. no offense intended.

^^ No worries.
I've tried some of those 'freewheeling' RPGs and found them to be unsatisfying. Without the determinism provided by a ref, there seems to be very little payback for the investment in time and imagination.

so what your saying is... you feel that without an objective its kind of pointless? (genuine question. sorry im kind of really out of it. just watched jumper and after watching a film it tends to influence my behavour heavily. im trying to be as kind and genuine as possible here but boy was that guy arrogent... and... well... guess it kind of rubs off, so im really sorry if it sounds bad but i am struggling for words here. )
