[Interest Check] Gunstar

[WlfSamurai]

Fantastic. Add some cybernetics and call yourself Grimlock.


"Me Grimlock smash warstriders!"

 

[Thief of Words]

Sounds good. Me Grimlock, KING!

 

[WlfSamurai]

Okay, first character done. Who's next?

 

[Thief of Words]

That's my Warstrider, don'tcha know? ;3

 

[Sherwood]

I just downloaded my copy of Shards, and I'm reading over the PDF now. What concepts are you looking for? Is this a pure Solar game, or are you taking Exalts of other classes?


Actually, it seems that I was too late with my post. Ah well. If someone drops out, I leave my hat in the ring to show my interest.

 

[WlfSamurai]

This is a mixed game. Although, we've decided we're not really looking at DB's since they'd be overshadowed pretty badly.

 

[MrSerious]

After selling an eye tooth for funds (actually I am only eating noodles this week) I have purchased Shards. And damn does it look good.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Are you guys willing to play eight characters? I think this setting can support it just fine if you guys are okay with it. Completely up to you guys though.


Thoughts?

 

[saganite]

I'd really prefer no more than six. Even six is pushing it, five is better, and four is great. Bigger games are usually a bit too crazy for my tastes...

 

[MrSerious]

I would say six is the absolute limit. Heck even 5 really - although that does deal me out of the game but I have to answer honestly. The more people the longer between GM posts as everyone has to have a turn.

 

[MrSerious]

Gunstar really really seems like a game for Alchemicals - I just wish there were more Alchemical specific Charms detailed. However anyone wanting to play an Alchemical where Solar and Lunar are an option has to make sure their character can fill a niche otherwise they'll find themselves overpowered very quickly.

 

[WlfSamurai]

All right. We'll go with six, which means I can't take MrBojangles or Sherwood. Terribly sorry guys.

Not a problem. Like I said, if someone drops out, keep me in mind.

 

[MrSerious]

But But. What do I play?

 

[WlfSamurai]

Of course, Sherwood.

 

[WlfSamurai]

But But. What do I play?

I don't know. What do you WANT to play?


Any other concepts yet?

 

[MrSerious]

Something Alchemical (I Alchies) if thats' ok with you Mr GM. But I'm afraid of being overshadowed by the other Celestials

 

[WlfSamurai]

Yeah, that'd be great. The Alchies aren't that far behind.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Not like the DB's, that is.

 

[MrSerious]

I'd like to play some sort of brash Voidship pilot but I'm not sure what Caste would suit.

 

[WlfSamurai]

It seems to me that really only the DB's are the voidfighter gunship pilots and there isn't much mention of other types of ships.

 

[Incendius]

They mentioned Solar Aces flying out to do 1v1 battles with Infernals.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Ah yes, you're right. I was hoping there'd be a whole armada with the Gunstar as the mothership.

 

[MrSerious]

You're the GM Wlf, you can re-write the universe however you want. I pictured the Alchemical Exalts as uniquely suited to piloting a Voidship seeing as how they are the Machine Gods' chosen.

 

[saganite]

Ah yes, you're right. I was hoping there'd be a whole armada with the Gunstar as the mothership.

There is! There are plenty of Collosi- and Municipal-class Alchemicals who refit themselves as ships (most likely frigates and cruisers, etc) to defend Gunstar, and I've got to imagine that Realm has made larger ships similar in size and power to Kireekis and Titans from the canon First Age. The Voidships shown in the book, piloted generally by DBs (as well as the Alchemicals who integrate themselves directly into the Voidships) are just mere fighters, like plankton in a school of tuna. We've got full on fleet-vs-fleet conflict here!
