Yeah.But the Star Treks basically had the same base plots over and over again,so I thought it would be a cool change.

Sounds a good idea it would cut the chat in here

Yar well thats the idea but whatever it not even a game idea didnt know where else to put it

I'm pretty sure we already had one around here somewhere. Social thread, I mean.

So, I've got Peach, Kaliero, Thraxis (good to see you, btw), Wei Phoenix, jalek moye, and TwilightxGirl interested in the Firefly RPG, and I know one or two more people who would also be interested.

I know Peach called dibs on being a Companion and Kaliero on the Medic, what would the other players be interested in?

I'm currently typing on a cell phone, so please forgive the short post; from what I've seen so far, I'm most interested in a pilot or mechanic. More info to follow later.

Aww I wanted to be a medic...anyway what does a priest exactly do?

So noted, Thraxis. Let me know what you decide on.

Sorry, Wei. Kaliero somewhat helped me put the game together.

The priest (or Shepherd, as known in the Firefly 'verse) covers a social aspect of traveling from planet to planet. Most of the crew members, whilst not bad people, are not exactly respectable folk. The priest helps out there, being a very persuasive talker (which is always helpful), and pretty intelligent in general.

[b]FIREFLY

Having heard much about the Firefly television show over the past few years, I decided to finally watch it back in December. Watched the entire season and the film in one sitting. Impressed with the setting, I have decided to initiate a roleplaying game set in the Firefly 'verse. New ship, new crew, new adventures.

The plot is focused on a starship known as Gan Ying, a decommissioned Alliance transport that has been heavily modified by its owner for the transportation of less-than-legal goods. Its owner is a man only known as Kelly, the self-styled Captain of the Gan Ying. Captain Kelly has a reputation for being efficient and working for whomever so long as he doesn't have to do anything truly vulgar. Only thing is that nobody knows a whole lot about him except for maybe Dutch, the cook.

The players of the roleplaying game can choose to either be paid members of Captain Kelly's crew or passengers going along for the ride. Characters will tend to specialize in one aspect of skills for the purpose of filling in the needed roles aboard Kelly's starship- smugglers, soldiers, mechanics, medics, companions, priests, and drifters. All will have their specialties, and all will have experience with firearms. Guns play a very large role in Firefly; thankfully Gan Ying has a well-stocked armory (though that may change as things happen).

Gameplay will follow Gan Ying and its crew on a series of missions, starting off on the border world of Persephone (as seen in the show) as the ship takes passengers and accepts a new job. Between missions, roleplaying will continue onboard the ship as it moves between worlds (since hyperdrives do not exist in the Firefly 'verse).

In addition to roles on the ship, characters will be fleshed out by their players through developing backgrounds and, most importantly, stating which side they fought on (or were sympathetic to) during the Unification War, the Alliance or the Browncoats.

If anyone is interested, please let me know! [/B]

Oh its cool, but I suppose I would have to change my character if he was going to be a Priest. I planned on him being mute, but I suppose that wouldn't help here with that occupation lol.

what is a companion, and drifter (unless its literally what the name says)

A companion is a prostitute, though in the world of Firefly they have extremely high standing, almost at the level of government officials, meaning it is one of the most respected profession, so, not like a two dollar whore.

Though, I think Lana expressed interest in playing one.

i was just wondering what it was. iknow she is playing one

I would like to play a soldier probab;y. But have to think of the specifics, maybe we can talk about it later, Rex.

A Drifter is as the name implies, jalek; for the purposes of the game, they've collected a smattering of skills and are generally pretty useful. They would likely be passengers rather than crewmembers, catching a ride on the game's ship for the purpose of traveling anywhere. The reason for being a Drifter is left up to the player- on the run from the law, a thirst for adventure, an explorer, etc.

The crew-based equivalent is the Smuggler, but they are bound to the orders of the Captain.

Sounds good, Bardock.

Alright put me down for a drifter

So noted, Jalek.

I'm officially voicing my interest in a Pilot, specifically, now: no longer aiming for a Mechanic. She might have some slight mechanical inclinations, but she'll be a pilot first and foremost.

Z~Day

This will be a Zombie Survival RP that uses some aspects from various video games, movies, books, and some twists of my own.
In this rp you will all start out in the massive city of Silvertown before the event/infection occurs. You will be ordinary people going about your lives, doing your jobs, etc. Gradually the infection will happen and begin to spread rapidly throughout the city and other places in the world aswell.
You will have to try to survive, find weapons, other survivors and interesting characters. Zombies may not be your only problem, you may face other creatures, and even some people you encounter may turn out to be completely psychotic. Eventually you will find clues and stuff and meet the people responsible for the outbreak.

I will be controlling Zombies/other creatures, some other survivors you may meet, and the events that will occur.
I will also be keeping track of your characters' equipment, and rewarding you with weapons and other supplies in different and interesting ways. Other than the obvious stuff like a hospital having medical supplies... if there is anything of interest on the bodies of people or fallen zombies, and in certain places, I will let it be known and the group can re-supply/ get upgrades and whatnot. For the most part this game will be free roaming, with some NPCs and creatures i might use to nudge you in the right direction at times.

I have for the most part developed a good plot and some interesting characters you will meet, however i'd rather not reveal them just yet.

Here is a template character sheet i have created.

Character Sheet.
Name:
Nickname/alias: ( What you would like to be called. )
Gender:
Age:
Height:
Weight:
Personality:
Clothing: (What are you wearing?)
Appearance/Distinguishing features: ( Hair color, Physical build,etc... Or just post of pic of who you want to look like.)

Occupation/Career background: (You may have standard Occupation/s, Doctor, Police Officer, Box boy at a Grocery Store, Mcdonalds Employee working the drive through etc... Or you may even be a Criminal type, Thief, Gangsta, etc... Use your imagination.
Personal background(Optional): (Your character's story up until this point. Why you are here in this city, etc.)

Primary Skills: (Try to make this fit in with your occupation/s.)
^Examples: If you are a doctor you would have improved medical skills for situations that they may be needed.
A soldier may be highly trained in the use of firearms,explosives, etc.
A Fast Food employee may know how to cook...But hey... everybody needs to eat, don't they? 😛
Secondary Skills: (Doesn't have to be tied to your occupation/s. However i would like a description of how you know these secondary skills.)
^Examples:
Melee combat/street smarts (Maybe you grew up on the streets and learned to fight and fend for yourself.)
Knows how to use a gun (Maybe your father took you to the shooting range as a child),
Survival skills (Were you a boy scout?).
Note: Your Primary skills don't have to be better than your secondary skills, they just have to go along with your profession. Some secondary skills may prove more useful against the dangers of this RP.

Weapons/ammo: ( I will keep track of this and update it at times. Remember your character will be starting out before the event happens so you might not have acquired any weapons yet.)
Note: If you choose to start with a gun, please limit it to a simple Handgun and a good reason as to why you have it. (Example: If you are a police officer, security guard, criminal, etc. You might carry a handgun.)
I wont be keeping track of ammo much but be realistic, don't go around taking out 100 zombies with one handgun clip. I will however provide more ammo and other supplies at times, so no worries.

Equipment: ( As with weapons, i will be keeping track of this and updating it. Please try to keep this stuff reasonable, not everyone will be allowed to start with lockpicks unless they are either criminal types or a Locksmith,etc...They must know how to use it.)
^Examples: Backpack, first aid kit, tactical vest, Flare gun, etc.
Secondary Equipment: (Items carried on body, can also be simple character items like Bubble gum)
^Examples: Cell phone, Lighter, Matches, Cigarettes, Bubble gum, Lockpick, etc.
