Thanks, Paul. But your character history is revealing and succinct, which is, IMO, a lot more effective than long and overly-detailed. I admit that I put a lot of data that is totally unnecessary for the game itself in the history (in retrospect, I should have done what Cheyne did and start a new th...

Seeing the ensign and the Grimlackian chief engineer preparing to board an incoming return shuttle to rendezvous with the ship, but not wanting to break rank and file during an expedition, Asa hails the ship over the comm. *Mild white noise bleeds through the open channel* "Captain, requesting ...

Being Hindu myself (although very...er...loosely-practicing), I do believe in reincarnation, and always thought it would be an interesting story to have someone who, in their past life, was a horrible and despicable person, and was plagued by past memories in their current life. I mean, being plague...

Thanks Thael~! :-) And Cheyne, too! Lol, how can you do this all by hand? I remember my days of trying to get a D&D character out by hand...I am now addicted to Heroforge, lol. I guess I can make a character by hand if forced, but there would be kicking and screaming involved o_O =-O. I really p...

Cheyne, thanks for the info! I have a couple of questions: 1. From the boards, I get that Wildcard skills (Drive! Medicine! et al) are high-expense conglomerated-skills that encompass a range of closely-related skills. Now, do I remove "Physician" and "Physiology" and such from m...

Asa is a Human born to a technologically-advanced society on the rimward world of Heimat; unfortunately, this vast knowledge of creating and maintaining extraordinary machines did not come with enlightenment in terms of equality and acceptance. Natural electromagnetic phenomena around focused parts ...

Now, I realize there are several ways of making my powers a lot more efficient, cost-wise, by putting limitations on them and nuisances, and such. But I am not sure exactly how to go about that, yet, lol, heehee. I'm just glad I got a basic character sheet done, for now; you gotta learn to crawl bef...

Okay, so I spent yesterday night (after getting over my anatomy-practical-induced stupor) looking into GURPS character creation. I made a rough character concept, and have the sheet down. I do not have any equipment, and would welcome *any* advice, tips, or comments on my character, lol. Name: Asa R...

Hey Cheyne, thanks for the offer; I appreciate it very much :-)! Of course, I trust you entirely to make a totally bad-ass character for me; after having heard from Gideon of your impressive character-creation abilities, and having personally seen your character for this adventure (kudos, btw :-)),...

Hey you guys, I have to really apologize for not posting yet. I have all the books, but I have never played GURPS before and am not familiar with the system of character generation. I have not made the time to read all the books (my reading list right now consists entirely of medical texts, lmao), b...

Nice to meet you, too, Thael. Which part of Vegas do you live in (one of the suburbs, or near to the Strip)? I have visited it once for a two-week stay three summers ago. One of my ex-girlfriends has a place down there, and she invited me to stay. It was funnnn. Oh, btw, Haley, *I* am double-jointe...

LMAO...of course, Ph.D.'s do absolutely nothing! I remember going to work with Dad when I was 7-yrs-old and watching him do absolutely nothing in his lab with his colleagues...it looked like a heck of a lot of work to me :-P. What field are you pursuing your doctorate in, may I ask? Good luck with ...
