I have never played any D&D style games so I will give this a try. Sign me up. Where do you want to place the character sheet? Send it to you via a PM or just place it in this thread?
You see this tank?

This tank is the epitome of "I'm going to destroy you"


This tank can make Chuck norris cry.

hey vagineer
(that name btw...that name)
ive been meaning to ask you
how many people should we wait for?
i can go anywhere from 3-10,
but the more players we want
the longer it will take to start playing

I do not know. Maybe 5 or 6? I've never been in a D&D style game so I wouldn't know.

Hoi, PM me when you guys are ready to start.

Name: Mattorious "Matt" Flaglebastar (Obviously :P)
Gender: Male
Build: Light hair, a bit weaker than the average person. Lightweight sort of dude. About average height. Fair Skin.
Attributes: (tootn' my own horn 'ere) Very Smart, not strong, good with a handgun, terrible at melee.

Background: Born on Earth, Mattorious was one of the first to sign up for a one-way trip to a distant Rimworld. His lightweight, genetically flawed build was ridiculed in a society where pre-birth genetic manipulation was the norm. Because of this, his want, desire, need, to leave Earth's society is understandable.

Additional Info: Like I said, lightweight and weak. Probably good at problem solving, doesn't eat much, introvert, doesn't do well socially. Generally needs to be accepted in a community.

(Disclaimer) This isn't me, just some character that I came up with in the last few minutes. Figured it'd be fun to play as a weakling instead of the standard Role-Play Hulk.

EDIT: oh, and 5-8 players seems good to me, and the more serious the better.

I love the mindset of gamers. Given a new feature to help keep our people alive and make the game more realistic, the first thing we think of is a way to kill people with it

Reysuke

I will join on this Journey!
But sorry for me bad english :/ but should be good enough for a rtd :)
But before that how much backstory are we allowed to make?
Am i allowed to bring something already in which has a story for me (weapon or pet)?

Name:Reysuke "Rey" Bakari
Gender:Male
physical appearance:Pale Skin, Average Height, Slim, Agile but strong (not super strong just above average)
skills/atributes: Trained in Hunting and Pathfinding. Skilled in using Hunting/Sniper Rifles. Just a normal Hunter who knows to survive but is pretty bad at everything else ^^
background:Born in the Outpost Maltara (Earth. Far in the North. Snow everywhere)
Father trained me to be a Hunter and help get gathering Food for the Outpost.We wont Hunting for Days and mostly only got 1 Polarbear or some Seals to eat. Raiders loved to attack our Outpost so we all had to fight against them. i run away with some People because the raiders got inside the wall and we had to run. A Trading Vessel picked us up and brought us to RimWorld.
additional info:With 12 years i found an MSR on a dead Raider. i brought her home and hided her. With 16 years i painted her black with white stripes and called her "Lucy". Only thing left from home (if im not allowed to bring her with me than just erase this). I dont talk much and always hide my face. The only thing you can see is my right eye which i use for aiming.
Also sent a pm to the gm with an information only he is allowed to know.

sure,i might say no for something ridiculously OP-ie:a nuke firing sniper rifle
but ill allow most things-especially if you work it into your backstory
Lucy sounds fine-i particularly like the back-story
(im pretty sure ill start all players with a stock weapon,background based of coarse)
so sure a weapon or pet would be fine,just no pet t-rex's
....
(actually-i encourage any players to bring in a baby t-rex as a pet)
^think of the cuteness

also,anyone who already posted there character sheets can edit them anytime
(if you held out on cool ideas because you didnt think they were allowed)

Hey guys, do we want to go ahead and start with just the three of us?

If not, I'd recommend setting a date to start the game no matter what. Or not, just throwing suggestions into the wind. ;)

sounds good,
next Monday(a week from tomorow)
well start with whatever players we have
anyone is still free to sign up though
(I'll wright them in somehow)

also on an unrelated note
I've been thinking of a perk system for your characters
they would give +1 modifiers for certain actions
what system should I use
1.I just assign a perk based on background
2.I give you a list of perks you can choose
3.you come up with a perk and I approve it
which would you prefer

That sounds good. I'm free at that time. Just PM me the perk list and I'll have a look at it.
