Subject: Hmmm...
...in regards to the tainted platinum and based on his whole 'don't let harm come to innocents' thing, I can see Sam, maybe, mentioning something to someone about "Ya might wanna keep folk outta that ruttin' hole, 'less they wanna come up with a sudden case o' dead" before Rocinante burnt atmo.
Other than that little bit, though, I've got no input on the rest.

...Sam's 'audition' can be found in the "Wyatt meets Sam" posts of the Rocinante Backstories thread.
Probably not going to be the exact same audition, of course, but I reckon it'd be something right close.

...I already mentioned "yay 4shared," right?
Can I mention it, again? Now that I've made my way through the Big Damn Hero's Handbook and find myself thoroughly fascinated by chapter 6 (regarding Chinese Culture in the Verse)I'm even more itchy to slip into the little sifu's skin and get back aboard my most favorite firefly ever!

Just wow! I was not expecting that exact turn of events in Newhouse! I guess I should have been, all things considered, but... wow! Good stuff, Roger. 
Nice reaction from Ash, too, Ody!

Fantastical post... I almost shed a tear... but didn't want the Cap ta see it.
Also... as to bunk arrangements, I'm assuming our little monk will wind up in the passenger berths... if there's a size difference in any of those, he'd be inclined to take the smallest... no need in taking up any more space than necessary, right?
Edit: How about that single bunk with the angled wall for Fu Sheng? Looks "out of the way" enough for him.

Subject: Nope...
...no problem,at all. Just wanted to point out that covert meant more than just stealth, etc, and despite being a big ol' beefy bruiser, Wolf might have some hint of a covert skill along the line. Didn't want you "cheating yourself" out of something based on misinterpretation, you know?
Anyhoo... like I said, wasn't trying to convince anyone to change their changes, just running off at the mouth by way of trying to help or whatever.

Topic: Voyages of the Rocinante - Firefly RPG QnA
Subject: Just a couple of thoughts...
...not that I'm, in any way, trying to manipulate anyone else's character or anything, just a couple of thoughts I had as I was reading these last few posts in the QnA...
Tann - are you sure that you want to completely dump Wolf's covert skill? Note that "covert" doesn't necessarily have anything to do with size or being physically sneaky, so the rationale that the big mechanic wouldn't have use for the covert skill threw me a bit... Aside from the sneaky-dekey bits, covert could also be used for say, rigging booby-traps (to keep some busy bodies from tinkering with Roc's mechanicals) or sabotaging other bits and pieces of equipment belonging to them that might have a dust up with our crew, etc, and ensuring that those "modifications" go unnoticed without a successful check... COuld be useful in slinking about the Cortex all unidentifiable and such, too... *shrugs*... Just putting it out there, really... as I said, not trying to sway anything... Your character, your choice (given Alacrity's approval, of course).
Ody - A plate vest? Damn but the Kid might've rubbed up against Sam's twitchy a little, huh? Seriously, though, I'm not entirely sure that "plate vests" exist in this world outside of say Alliance Armor or some such - at least, I don't know that I've seen anything like that listed in any equipment tables or whatever. I suppose (if Alacrity allows it) the Kid could pick one up "black market" style, or have one made, or whatever buuuuut I'll bet ya my last two platinum that it's gonna be a bit heavier and more cumbersome than a ballistic mesh one and may play havoc with the Kid's speed and whatnot.
There was something else... what was it....???
Oh yeah!
The Arsenal!
As far as Ash's 'gun collection' goes (and given the fact that the Kid doesn't seem to be done collecting) I'm not sure that there's room in Asher's bunk for what all he has now, let alone what he's got marked as "must haves" in his latest "Guns and Geishas" magazine... That said, and according to the shiny Firefly blueprints pack that I've been ogling, there is an armory (read: big damn gun locker) aboard most fireflies that haven't repurposed the space which could be used for storing those... ahem... extras, so as the Kid ain't sleeping on a bed of go-boom.
Anyhoo... just thoughts... grain of salt 'em, if you like... just putting 'em out there.

...still not sure why it's so startling how I wrote up your characters - I mean you guys provided most all of the insight I used for writing them in your initial descriptions, after all - but I am very happy that you're all pleased with the results. And thanks for the 'ego boost' provided by your 'amazement,' eh?
Aaaaaaanyhoo...
Lila's post is just about at a wrap and, with a tiny bit of luck, I'll have the gamme all ready for you guys to post to by this afternoon.

Nice technicolor post for Wolf, there, Rainbow Brite! Captured the "in and out/here and there" of recovery quite nicely, if'n I might say so. *nods*
And, wow... is it coming up on a year, already? Sometimes that all just seems like yesterday.

Topic: Looking for something to do
Subject: For the record...
...most of the rules based games (at least hereabouts) aren't really too much different than most freeform games. In most cases, the "rules" typically remain "behind the scenes" for the most part. Your GM will usually do a majority of the dice rolling aside from the bit you might do during character creation and, if done well, is usually more roleplay as opposed to "roll play" where the PCs are concerned.
The biggest difference, at least where the writing of posts as a player is concerned, is that you'll want to remember to say "my character [casts a spell, swings a weapon, whatever action] and tries to [illuminate the dark corridor, hit the orc in the chest, whatever the intended result of the previous action might be]" rather than "my character casts a fireball which explodes at the end of the corridor and engulfs the charging orc." Basically, you write your intended actions and the GM lets you know the results of your attempts based upon that behind the scenes dice rolling. *winks*

I was actually just kidding about the drinking, puhn yoh... Fu Sheng doesn't partake, I'm afraid. Don't know that he ever has, actually... it's possible I suppose, but highly doubtful.
It is true that he wasn't born a monk, however.
Doesn't mean we won't have some fun, I'm sure.
