Subject: Amazing for being so slow, right?
*winks*
Thanks for the kind words, Astrid.
And, hey, don't worry about your writing, huh? If you can form a sentence and make it convey a thought, you're in good shape. By no means do I expect "novella length" posts from anyone... in fact, most of the time, a couple two or three paragraphs will work just fine... and, of course, I'm always available to lend a hand, give a nudge in the right direction, or whatever should any of you need it.

Subject: Dani - A Thousand Points of Dark
March 10, 2014 – 21:18:17 GMT
The Blue Moon Cafe, St James St, Sheffield, England, UK
“Oi, Dani! Did ya hear about the ruckus in London, this morning?”
Danika Ward, arched a brow, smiled brightly, and hung up her apron before glancing to where Harry was hunched over the sink scrubbing the last of the day’s dishes. “I’ve heard little other than ‘venti-mocha-frappucino-just-shots-no-roast-light-on-the-whip-extra-drizzle’ all day, Har,” she replied with a giggle, flipping one purple-dyed pig-tail over a shoulder with a quick toss of her head, “and’ve had to politely remind people that ‘this isn’t Starbucks’ to have paid much attention. What’s gone on in London?”
“Not rightly sure,” Harry answered with a shrug of his narrow shoulders, “they’ve not said much in regards to details. Some kind of explosion or freak windstorm, I suppose. Blew the windows right out of the DEFRA building, though, and did some other damage thereabouts… lamp posts bent over and the lot…” He dried his hands, then, and, still transfixed by Dani’s luminous smile, took up a clean rag and stepped over to help her finish her wipe-down of the espresso machine. “The news didn’t give a whole lot of info, though… not that they ever do… but, as flighty as the reports I’ve seen’ve been, I reckon it’s less weather-related and more to do with a meta.”
Dani’s ever-present smile wavered for an instant and, though she tried to stop it, her brown eyes darkened a fraction and narrowed slightly more as her brow furrowed and her gaze framed Harry; “Why would you say that?”
“I…er… well…”
Harry’s rapid blinking told her that the question had come out in a harsher tone than she had intended or, at the very least, she’d gotten the inflection wrong. Dani blinked, herself, and, with an imperceptible shake of the head, restored her ‘trademark smile’ to lips and eyes. “Sorry, Har,” she cooed, feigning interest in a spot on the espresso machine’s surface that wouldn’t rub away, “Didn’t mean for it to sound just that way… been a bit of a long day.”
“Hasn’t it, though,” Harry grinned in reply.
“So. A meta, you think?”
“Aye. It’d almost have ta be, wouldn’t it? I mean, if it were otherwise, why’s the media bein’ so hush-hush, eh? I mean, there’d be more’n a blip on the telly about it if it were some kinda wind, right? Unless the RAF’s flyin’ jets through London ‘stead o’ just over…” He shrugged again and, apparently satisfied with the cleanliness of the espresso maker, backed away a step and tossed his rag into the sink as Dani nodded (albeit not too enthusiastically) her concurrence of his assessment. “An’ it’s not as if the States’ve exactly cornered the market on supers, then, is it? Who’s to say we can’t have our own lot here in the UK?”
“I suppose there is that,” Dani smiled, throwing her cleaning cloth after his, “You working tomorrow?”
“Nah,” Harry answered, untying his apron as he meandered towards the back of the tiny coffee house, “Mum’s coming up from Pontypool and I promised to take the day.”
Dani’s smile brightened all the more (if such a thing was truly possible) and she nodded as she hung her apron on the hook next to Harry’s. “Right,” she nodded, recalling that Harry had mentioned his mother’s visit to her a few days ago, “I’ll not see you til Wednesday, then, I suppose?”
“Right,” he answered, shrugging into his jacket as he turned to smile back at her, “Unless you’d fancy a walk home, tonight?”
It was a tempting offer. She liked Harry’s company well enough and, unlike some of the other blokes who’d offered to walk her home before, a “walk-home” to Harry was just that, a walk home, plain and simple… no subtext, no hidden agenda… but… “If your mum’s popping in tomorrow, we’d best not,” Dani giggled, “We don’t want you all knackered, do we?”
Harry’s cheeks flushed, then; “Dani… I… I didn’t mean…”
“I know, Har,” she winked playfully, “I was only teasing. I’m not going directly home, at any rate. Got a few things to do and all.” After shrugging into her own jacket and gathering up the rest of her things, she caught her co-worker up in a quick embrace, pecked him lightly on the cheek and smiled; “I appreciate the offer, though. Say h’lo to your mum for me.”
“O’ course,” Harry grinned, still blushing a little as he watched the perky goth girl veritably skip toward the door, “I’ll see you Wednesday.”
“Wednesday it is,” Dani chirped, “Ta!”
Just west of Campo Lane, Sheffield, England – 21:35:56 GMT
Even when she worked the closing shift, it wasn’t unusual for Dani to cross paths with other pedestrians as she made her roundabout way home after work. Students from the university were often milling about Sheffield’s streets at any given hour and the ‘normal folk’ coming and going from their respective jobs and such were the norm, really. Usually, when she’d encounter another somebody along her way, though, there was something of an exchange in pleasantries – at least a nod and a smile if not a verbal acknowledgement – but, the chap Dani had just passed by as she cut through the parking area reserved for the people who occupied the blocks of flats on either side hadn’t even so much as hinted that he’d seen her, let alone given any indication that he’d intended to respond to her characteristically cheery hello. That, of course, wasn’t the bit that had made her nervous about the man, though… some people were just wankers like that, she knew… No, what really set her skin to crawling (and she’d only truly realized it after she was several steps past the bloke) was the fact that, despite the hour and the darkness of the night, the man was wearing, perhaps, the darkest pair of sunglasses she’d ever seen…
And that suit, she thought, wrinkling her nose a bit as her smile threatened to succumb to the sudden discomfort the bloke’s demeanor caused her, It’s like he stepped out of one of those Men In Black movies onto the streets of Sheffield. Creepy.
Something about Harry’s mention of the day’s earlier happenings in London and his theory that there might have been a meta at the center of the hullabaloo flickered in her thoughts, too, and, glancing back over her shoulder, she slipped her iPod from her jacket pocket and cupped her hand over the device’s screen as the light emitted by it flared brighter than it was designed to and, then, gathered itself into a tiny sphere against her palm… The guy who had failed to even acknowledge her existence a moment ago still lingered by the gate that spilled from the car park onto Campo but, as her instincts had just suggested, he was no longer facing that street. Now he wants a look, she scowled faintly, the tiny ball of light nestled in her palm offering only marginal comfort Bugger! Uneasily, Dani made herself return her eyes to the remaining stretch of the car park ahead of her and curled her fingers around the photon sphere in her hand as she stepped up her pace…
“Miss Ward?”
…then stopped dead in her tracks when another black suit wearing too dark sun goggles stepped from between a pair of parked cars and into her path…
“I’m going to need you to lower your hands and come with me.”
“Riiiiight,” Dani muttered from behind a smile that had started to return to her lips without any of its previous mirth, she flicked another glance behind her, noting that shades number 1 was now not just watching but, also, approaching, “I don’t think I’m going to be able to help you there, mate…” she winked at shades number two as her eyes returned to him and, with a flick of her wrist, released the photon sphere… “You didn’t even say please!”
The light-ball flashed across the distance between them and impacted against the man’s chest, sending him flying backwards across the boot of one of the cars between which he’d been waiting. Dani spun around then, the sole of her purple Doc Martin’s evoking a faint squeak from the asphalt beneath it, and hastily generated another photon-ball in hopes of leveling Shades 1…
“Oh, bugger-all,” she cursed again when she was met with more than just the one, “where’d all of these sodding wanks come from?” Rather than blast her intended target with the blast she had prepped, Dani smashed the thing between her hands and it exploded into a fountain of dazzling light which caused the other five-plus suits who had joined the first to hesitate for the split second it took for her to wheel around in hopes of running full-tilt towards the other and of the car park and disappear into the twisting streets and alleyways beyond…
“Bloody hell!”
…unfortunately, there were at least as many, if not more, suits now converging on her from that direction, as well. Her head was on a swivel as she sucked in an apprehensive breath between clenched teeth. The more she tried to count the converging suits, the more their numbers seemed to grow and, as fast as she knew she was capable of firing off her photon blasts, there was no way in ten kinds of Hello Kitty that she’d ever manage to whip off enough of them to drop all of these blokes…
Not enough time to gather and generate enough light to build a wall, either, she estimated frantically just before turning her eyes skyward, Cor, I hope this bloody well works!
…She’d barely just discovered that her powers enabled her to fly and, admittedly, she wasn’t very good at it, yet (it wasn’t like she had a lot of opportunities to actually practice unobserved, after all) but, now, it was the only thing she could think of that might give her a way out of… whatever this was. The thought had scarcely registered in Dani’s mind when she found herself already twenty meters above the tops of the blocks of flats, a brilliant ribbon of light trailing behind her. A fraction of a second later, it seemed, the two suits that had become sixty were consuming that ribbon and pulling her back towards earth… or were they coming up?
Oh no! Oh no! She stretched out her arms and attempted to gather whatever light there was to herself in hopes of fashioning it into something with enough intensity to disperse the Shades… but it was too late… they were on her quicker than her light could shine… enveloping her in a darkness so complete and cold that she wasn’t able to overcome it…
she was falling…

Brundel,
Go to your game thread and scroll to the bottom of the page, you should see a link that says "manage players". Click on that link and you'll get a window that allows you to enter the user IDs of your players. Enter the appropriate IDs and click Submit... you should be good to go.

Topic: Tie pilot stats
Subject: Level?
Are you looking for low-level stats or high level?
Low-Level Starfighter Pilot
Soldier 4; Init +7 (+3 Dex, +4 Improved Initiative); Defense 17 (+4 class, +3 Dex); DR 2; Speed 10m; VP/WP 30/12; Atk +5 melee (1d3 +1, unarmed) or +7 ranged (3d6 or DC 15 stun, blaster pistol); SV Fort +5, Ref +4, Will +0; FP 1; DSP 0; Rep +1; Str 13, Dex 16, Con 12, Int 14, Wis 8, Cha 10; Challenge Code C
Equipment: Padded flight suit, blaster pistol, field kit
Skills: Astrogate +9, Computer use +8, Demolitions +6, Knowledge (world lore) +7, Pilot +13, Repair +7, Spot +3, Treat Injury +3
Feats: Armor Proficiency (light), Heroic Surge, Improved Initiative, Point Blank Shot, Skill Emphasis (Pilot), Starship Operation (starfighter), Weapon Group Proficiencies (blaster pistols, blaster rifles, heavy weapons, simple weapons, vibro weapons)
High-level Starfighter pilot
Soldier 6/ Starship Ace 6; Init +8 (+4 Dex, +4 Improved Initiative); Defense 24 (+10 class, +4 Dex); DR 2; Spd 10m; VP/WP 76/12; Atk +11/+6 melee (1d3+1, unarmed) or +14/+9 ranged (3d6 or DC 15 stun, blaster pistol and Rapid Shot); SQ Starship Defense +5, Familiarity +3, Starship Evasion; SV Fort +9, Ref +11, Will +4; FP 3; DSP 0; Rep +5; Str 13, Dex 18, Con 12, Int 14, Wis 8, Cha 10; Challenge Code E

There's a starting point, anyway, whether you go low or high level. Also, since you're considering TIE pilots, you may want to switch the Force Points and Dark Side Points, etc...
Edit: These stats were pulled directly from the Core Rulebook (d20 version)... Page 353, I believe. I know, it doesn't specify TIE fighter pilot but what is a TIE pilot other than your standard starfighter pilot with Imperial Perks, right? Hope that helps.

Topic: Tie pilot stats
Subject: Ummm...
...which stats in particular are you looking for, Sadaar?
Do you need some 'stock NPC' stats (Attributes, Skills, Feats, etc)? If so, give me an idea of what character level you're looking at for your PCs and I can point you in the right direction (or, at least, post a basic rundown for you, here).
If, on the other hand, you're looking for a PC-build kind of thing for a TIE fighter pilot, the stats are kind of up to the player to generate... Dex would be a crucial stat, if I recall, and the player would also be required to have the 'Starship Operation' feat for the appropriate class of starship (ultra-light, I believe, for TIEs) and, perhaps some other requisite feats and skills... Lemme know and I'll see what I can come up with.

That's right, Innmates, even if it was for a too brief span, I had the honor and pleasure of meeting "The Man" himself (along with his lovely wife and the majority of his gorgeous kids), this weekend... And, gods love that webmaster of ours, he brought me a mixed sixer of some Confederate Dragon brewskis!!! *happy dance*
I've only sampled the Yorkshire Brown as of this writing but, lemme tell ya, folks, that has got to be one of THE BEST brown ales I have ever had! Even the wife loved it and she's not any kind of a fan of beer... Even a little. 
Anyhoo... Just wanted to brag a little and, of course, thank Olan, again, for sharing the delectable fruits of his labor with li'l ol' me. Oh... Right... And to tell the rest of you that if the boss asks if you wanna try his homebrew, for the love o' pete, say YES! You won't be disappointed.
Well done, brewmeister! Well done!

Taking the leap from player to GM can most certainly be a daunting one. Good for you, Brundel.
I'd love to toss my hat in, of course (nothing like showing support for your fellow innmates when they try new things, you know) but, like several others, I can't see that I'd be able to commit 100%... Got enough of my own that I've let fall behind farther than I'd like and all that... I will be lurking, however, and keeping the good-vibes and happy thoughts out there for you and your players.
