Trinity:JD-The Rules

I've set this forum to private, mainly b/c I don't care to insult people that can't use words effectively by telling them why they aren't invited. So, you can tell whoever, but just fyi, if they don't type at more than 35wpm, and they can't use the grammar/syntax/vocabulary for correctness of use for using exceptably two, then they aren't invited.

Character creation is up in the air. I really don't want people to have to spend time learning a new system, especially when all they really need to know is the fluff and their own powers. Also, I would like a balanced party. So, what I'm thinking of doing, is making characters, and letting people choose. The players would mostly be able to create the character's backgrounds, with a few exceptions, only the dots would be set. This ensures characters are balanced against one another, and that they have skills that will give them a niche in the party that are not filled by others.

If people don't like this, let me know.

Game times will be 7-8pm ish, on an unknown weekday night. We will probably finalize this stuff when Gideon returns from the 3rd world and can talk in person. My goal is to have 3-4ish hour sessions that are fun, fast paced, and end early enough that people can go to work/school in the morning.

If you have questions, please post them here.

Talking to yourself, you are not.

I'll reinterate some interest in playing a Psiad. This actually sounds like less work for me since I wouldn't have to familiarize myself with an order and could mostly just stick to history (most of which I already know). That and re-reading powery bits. I could even pretend to be a Psion from somewhere, I guess. That'd help to fit in, anyway.

this should be fun. I'll have to dig up my copy of trinity when I get back.

cool.

the pc's i'm looking at so far are:

1) a psiad picked up by aeon from hiding, telepath/clairsentient
2) a daredevil covert agent of aeon, specializes in infiltration and h2h
3) a grizzled legionaire on loan to aeon, specs in pk
4) a brilliant but inexperienced aesclaepian on laon to aeon, spec in vk
5) a history/popculture buff and marketing wiz from orgotek, spec ?

if anyone has more ideas, let me know.

I want absolutely no choice in the matter. I definitely want to play though.

Hey, if I'm a ninja all my dialogue should look like this '......', right? (where the hell is the ninja emoticon, dammit?)

oh, i also have another norm that needs playing, probably an aeon opperative as well, but different.

Experience Costs
Since trinity was made before the other Aeonverse supplements, some of their stuff, like character creation and xp costs, vary from the other two lines. b/c of this, i'm using a unified xp chart as opposed to the one found in the book. i'm also probably using the two step character process found in the other two, using the trinity storytellers guide as a reference, not that any of you really care.
