	This is the Out Of Character thread. Pieter, I collected the XXVC materials, too. I thought I had everything except the character record sheets until I heard of a "Technical Compendium." I've never seen it or any pictures, but some say it exists. Have you played the computer games? My avatar is a screen capture of Carlton Turabian. He's actually white with grey hair in the books.

	I'm not sure if I have the technical companion. You might want to add to your list of items that Dragon magazine dedicated a cover to Buck Rogers once. I'm at work now, so I'm not sure what number it is or exactly which books I have. I've played the Sega Genesis Buck Rogers game, which I believe is called Countdown to Doomsday.
Game Master	posted... Collecting on Thu 19 Aug 2004 @ 11:56 AM (US Mountain Time)
	Right. I will have to look into getting that issue! I have a copy of the Sega game in shrink wrap. I bought a Sega about a year ago to play it on, but I decided not to open the game. It's just sitting on the bookshelf as sort of a prize. If you find out what issue number of Dragon that was, let me know please.

Game Master	posted... That name... on Thu 19 Aug 2004 @ 7:18 PM (US Mountain Time)
	I think I remember that name. The name of that site. The guy's name is Jans? I'll take a look at it. I remember having some e-mail threads with him YEARS ago about buck. Anyway, are there any numbers on the Comic Modules like there are on the RPG books? I have the first Comic Module, and I didn't know there were so many!! Have you got the High Adventure Cliffhangers box set or just the Han module? I never played that because it doesn't look to be as much fun as XXVC.
Game Master	posted... Jens-Arthur Leirbakk on Thu 19 Aug 2004 @ 8:15 PM (US Mountain Time)
	Yes, I had a look at that page. Nice. He's got the date of the XXVC release at 1990. The PC video game was released in 1989, however. I can't see the video game coming first, but it might have happened.
Odo	posted... awesome on Fri 20 Aug 2004 @ 9:36 AM (US Mountain Time)
	EDITED August 20, 2004, 10:33 am hello all. Looking forward to playing this game. I've played both Countdown to Doomsday and Matrix Cubed and i've replayed them at least once.. I was tempted to use Buck's picture, but had to settle for more of an engineer type of picture.. How are we generating stats? I'm going to play a lunarian engineer. Are we going to have ship battles in the game?
Michael Kent	posted... Before I start on Fri 20 Aug 2004 @ 10:47 AM (US Mountain Time)
	I just want to clear up on who's playing what. I see we have an engineer. I'd like to be a rocket jock, but I could always do something else if need be. :) We don't want to overlap if we don't have to.
Game Master	posted... Character Creation on Fri 20 Aug 2004 @ 2:25 PM (US Mountain Time)
	Please see the game's web site for character creation details. In short, we're creating 1st-level characters using the D20 conversion on the web site. The conversion PDF details money, stats, and other information. We're using a point buy system to keep it fair for everybody. I don't know if there will be ship battles; that is entirely up to the players. I will say this, though: A Buck Rogers campaign without space combat is like... a day without sunshine. Or something like that.
Sneaky Pete	posted... All in a name on Fri 20 Aug 2004 @ 2:40 PM (US Mountain Time)
	I'm hoping to play a roguish type. Hence the name. As I mentioned before, I've got a ton of XXVc source material, so I figured it be best to play a guy who's "in the know."
Game Master	posted... Salvation III Station on Sun 22 Aug 2004 @ 11:19 AM (US Mountain Time)
	There are maps of Salvation III Station on the web site now. In the log on the web site, I now keep track of major modifications that I make to the site.
Game Master	posted... Deadline for Characters on Sun 22 Aug 2004 @ 9:43 PM (US Mountain Time)
	I'd like to set a deadline for character information. All character sheets and background information must be in to me by Friday, August 27, 2004. I'll need time to look over everything and make sure that everything is on order before we begin. So, that means that I plan to start the game no later than Monday, August 30. Please, get your sheets completed as soon as possible to avoid delays. Thanks.
Sneaky Pete	posted... Extra feat? on Mon 23 Aug 2004 @ 5:37 AM (US Mountain Time)
	Just double checking ... do straight humans get an extra feat at character creation the way they do in D&D?
Game Master	posted... No Extra Feat on Mon 23 Aug 2004 @ 7:10 AM (US Mountain Time)
	No, they get no extra feat. I am considering changing this, since you're not the first to have asked. As of right now, they don't get one.
Jim Mackey	posted... differences on Mon 23 Aug 2004 @ 7:19 AM (US Mountain Time)
	In the buck rogers universe, there are only humans and their genetic modified kind. Can we suggest changes and submit comments on the document? There's some stuff i'd like to suggest.
Sneaky Pete	posted... Seconded. on Tue 24 Aug 2004 @ 11:22 AM (US Mountain Time)
	Me too. Example: I think you might want to add a few feats that help with career focus (Like those Alertness-type feats or feats tailored for Engineers and Medics). Maybe you could set up a thread just for rules suggestions, since this also seems to be a conversion project too. I imagine we could come up with a nice supplement to what you've already done.
Michael Kent	posted... Yep on Tue 24 Aug 2004 @ 11:40 AM (US Mountain Time)
	I agree. There's much to grab from all the d20 sources out there...prestige classes (if that's even possible here), more feats and skills, etc.
Game Master	posted... Historical Note on Tue 31 Aug 2004 @ 11:34 AM (US Mountain Time)
	Just to give you some perspective on the NEO struggle in the last few months, I'll recount a little history. Buck Rogers was discovered floating through space in suspended animation a few months ago. Since then, he joined NEO and used his fame to rally NEO and even some other races. Very recently (in the last few weeks), Buck led a NEO strike on Hauberk Station, an orbital space station that RAM used to conrtol Earth. It was a very advanced station. Buck demonstrated that the Terrans' biggest strength is teamwork. They were able to capture Hauberk Station and rout RAM for the moment. This caught the eye of a some other offworld groups, some of whom have become NEO's allies. Right now, the troops of NEO and the people of Earth are feeling at the top of their game.

	Current State: I'm waiting on you to meet at the fueling station in the morning. Don't let me rush you; I'm just pointing out that I have nothing planned until that point. (I normally won't tell you that, but I feel that the introduction should give the players some free time.) I may only get to post once or twice between now and Tuesday, so take your time. However, as soon as everyone is ready, we'll start the adventure!
Sneaky Pete	posted... FYI traffic on Thu 9 Sep 2004 @ 10:46 AM (US Mountain Time)
	I'm having trouble checking PlayByWeb each morning. It appears that the site is getting too much traffic around 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. EST each morning. I get an error message, hence I haven't been able to post.
Game Master	posted... Login Errors on Thu 9 Sep 2004 @ 10:54 AM (US Mountain Time)
	I recently joined the tech commitee. I have the solution, but I'm just waiting for them to go through the red tape to give me access to the server!
Sneaky Pete	posted... Login? Or something else? on Thu 9 Sep 2004 @ 11:35 AM (US Mountain Time)
	It's not really a Login issue. I'm "logged in" all the time. Instead it's just a white screen with a bunch of error message everytime I visit the front page of the web site. Again, it seems to clear up after the time I mentioned. Next time I get it, I'll copy it onto my scratch pad and send it to you.
Game Master	posted... Database Logins on Thu 9 Sep 2004 @ 11:47 AM (US Mountain Time)
	It's a database login issue. You see, the original author didn't quite clean up his database connections correctly. So, during certain hours, you have to wait for the database to automatically log each connection out.
Sneaky Pete	posted... I'm in on Thu 16 Sep 2004 @ 9:05 AM (US Mountain Time)
	This is the first time since Sunday I've been able to get on! Keep on getting those login errors! Now I'll go post!

	JohnB is trying to gather information about the problem from users. Go over to the PBW User's Forum and give him your story. BTW, I have a possible solution to the problem, but I'm just waiting for the red-tape to clear so that I can install it!
Game Master	posted... Login problems on Thu 23 Sep 2004 @ 5:25 PM (US Mountain Time)

Michael Kent	posted... I'm here on Wed 20 Oct 2004 @ 7:28 AM (US Mountain Time)
	Just not much to post on. You guys went searching through the hold, which is not Kent's idea of a good time. He's busy up in the cockpit with the other pilots. If you wanna grab his ear, you'll have to look for him.
Game Master	posted... Gameplay on Wed 20 Oct 2004 @ 11:40 AM (US Mountain Time)
	Alright, we've landed. I hoped that the first part of the game (what's happened so far) would happen much faster. It went my very slowly, and it's partly my fault. The first part of the game was just to get the ball rolling. It was very linear, just to get the group together. However, we're now at a point where you guys can do anything you want. If you all choose to go a completely different direction, that's cool. Keep in mind, though, that your actions will have serious consequences. If you choose to steal, you might be pursued. If you choose to fight, you might die. If you choose to sit and hide, then you risk boredom. In short, the world is now yours.

Game Master	posted... Actions on Sat 30 Oct 2004 @ 2:46 PM (US Mountain Time)
	Note that even though the guard told your characters to do something, you (as players) have no obligation to do so. If you decide to do something completely different, that's fine with me. Do what your characters would do.

Game Master	posted... Materials on Sat 20 Nov 2004 @ 6:17 PM (US Mountain Time)
	I think there's one things that I should point out. If at any time, you need a map, diagram, readout, statistic, or any other type of knowledge that you feel your character would have, please let me know. For PlayByWeb games, I try not to scan an upload more than I have to. I typically can take a few hours and do the scanning or editing. My point is, if you want a drawing, please ask.

	If you guys would care to skip past any section of the game, please let me know. For instance, right now you can either roleplay the scene in the bar, or you can simply say, "We hire somebody." As a player I prefer to play things out, so that's why I give you all the opportunity to do so. I understand if you don't want to, so I'll give an open invitation for anything like this. We obviously can't completely skip something like, "We raid the base and steal eveerything." Things that offer significantly less risk (like hiring a pilot) might be sped up.

I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still posting for Brok as an NPC until further notice. P.S. I'm still hoping to attract new players, but I've heard nothing so far.

	The new character has ben added. He has a private thread, so no snooping yet! He'll join you very soon. Now, Pete and Kent have made level two. This is mainly for roleplaying and for advancing the plot. The little bit of combat was handled in-character and was done well. So, update to level two when you want to. Make sure you follow the D20 conversion rules for level advancement. It boils down to this: you can't be considered "Level 2" until you train any skills that require traning as per the rules. Thus, certain skills need training. (Hint: you're near Ceres, a large asteroid with a city.) Also, the ship combat that you took part in would count as training for any flying- or ranged-combat-related skills.

	There was a board game from the 1980s. It used little rocket ships that went to different planetary orbits. The player had to get to each planet and do something. I keep meaning to get my hands on it, but I haven't seen one in good condition in a long time.

Game Master	posted... A side note on Fri 4 Feb 2005 @ 12:43 PM (US Mountain Time)
	The engine going out again was purely random. I did not do that because I am forcing you down a certain plot path. Technically, Churchill's Jury Rig failed after a certain number of rounds. No, he needs to do a full repair, because the damage is worse than when the engine originally failed. I like this game right now! There's an obvious short-term goal, a few optional short-term goals, two obvious long-term goals, and quite a few optional long-term goals. I have NO idea how you're going to get out of this situation, but there are many possibilities. No matter how you choose to react, I'm ready with the environment and possible reactions by NPCs and objects. If you have any opinions of the game, good or bad, please let me know! If you can identify any of your characters' goals, list them out so I know where to concentrate my planning.
Sneaky Pete	posted... Questions about Lvl 2 on Sun 6 Feb 2005 @ 1:39 PM (US Mountain Time)
	Do we roll HP or do we get a standard number based on Hit Dice? The Rogue gets +2 on a bunch of skills (and so do must other classes) at first level, does he keep getting that bonus at every level?

	Roll your hit dice in theis thread, but reroll ones. You get an additional +2 when you assign 1st-level skill points. Those can be considered ranks in that skill. They are present from then on. However, you don't get an additional +2 at every level.

	So aside from the normal jump in skills and hit dice at second level, do I get anything else? Sneak Attack? Dodge/Evasion? A free feat? Otherwise, I'll take a level in something else, cuz from what I see there's very little benefit in being a second-level rogue.

	Pete does have a point. I always thought that the main advantage that a rogue has is the choice of career skills. It's harder to get good at hiding as a medic, for instance. Do you have any suggestions?

	EDITED February 7, 2005, 10:39 am Why not make it something similar to the d20 SRD? Get a talent one level, then a feat the next. Most other d20 games, they give you an incentive to stick with your class early on. (Rogues get evasion, bonus feats, etc) Perhaps that can be done here as well.

	Let's say that the rogue gets what they get in D20, in addition to the +2 to career skills. Write that up and we'll look at it. If it's not completely overpowered, we'll use it.

	How about the XXVc equivalent of Bardic Knowledge. Seems like a handy ability.
