Although interesting. I should warn you that little person comes with tough movement restrictions. Might be hard to be the gunfighter. Not saying no though.

Topic: Firefly/Serenity RPG - Looking for Browncoats
Subject: The skills
With skills you start with 68 points. You begin with the General Skills listed below which you can only take to a max of d6. After that you may go higher in specializations within the skill sets. So for example you might have a d6 in Animal Handling, so you add 2 more to the specialty of horse training to d8. You can go as high as you want within a specialty.
Skills
General - Even if you have never done anything in these skills, you have a chance based on attribute alone in these skills. So a novice can shoot a gun, or come up with obscure knowledge.

Good to have someone looking at the mechanic position. Actually Lyskhala and I were joking about all double meanings and humour in a possible ex-companion/mechanic combo.
But seriously folks. It is shaping up well.

Topic: Firefly/Serenity RPG - Looking for Browncoats
Subject: Let's get some characters started
The following is a general guide to creating characters in the Verse. If you are from a free-form background and don’t get this stuff, let me know and we can work it out together based on what person you want to play.
Attributes in Serenity RPG are dice, not stats. You pick a higher dice to represent a better attribute. The steps of dice progression are:
d2 – d4 – d6 – d8 – d10 – d12 – d12+d2 – d12+d4 etc.
Any time you want to do something, from fly a ship to shot a guy, you take attribute + skill die and roll them against a difficulty class.
You have six attributes, three are physical and three are mental
Physical
Agility – Your ability to move quickly and physical coordination
Strength – Just how strong is your character.
Vitality – a measure of general health and toughness
Mental
Alertness – Intuition and observation. How much you can spot and notice.
Intelligence – Basic smarts. How bright you are and how much you’ve learned
Willpower – Determination and force of will.
Important:
Initiative (How shots act first in combat) is Agility + Alertness
Life Points (Hit points, how much damage you take) is Vitality + Will Power
Physical combat – strength + skill
Gun combat – agility + skill
Basic Combat Dodge – Agility + alertness
Making the characters;
Everyone starts with 48 points. If you want d12 in strength, it will cost you 12 points. But don’t be dividing up points yet. First there be Assets and Complications.
Assets are bonuses and addons that help your character do things that define them. Kaylee’s ability to talk to engines, Jayne’s ability to take a hit, Wash being able to fly the ship all come out of assets. Assets are major or minor. Every player should have at least one asset, and no more than five. Minor Assets cost 2 points and major assets cost 4.
Complications are those quirks or personality traits that make people human. Jayne getting greedy when the money is good. Or the circumstances that make things difficult like Simon and River being wanted fugitives. Minor complications add 2 to your points and major ones add 4. Everyone should have at least one complication and no more than five. Note, play to your complication in the game will get you plot points as well.
Once you have your assets and complications done, you take the remains points to give to you attributes. Remember that d6 in an attribute is considered average.
The following are the list of assets and complications in general terms. If you want to know them in specifics, let me know. If you can think of something not on here, let me know. If minor or major is listed after a trait, then that is the only level possible for that trait.
Assets

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off
Subject: This night, the knight, all is not alright.
You settle into the Waymeet. Char goes hunting for food while the others prepare for the night. A fire is lit, firewood gathered, water is brought up though the squeaky well and all of you have a chance to wash the ick, goo, guts and road dirt of yourselves.
Sunset, the pseudo-dragon returns to your group, now that the danger has passed, and that now familiar craving for spicy sausages returns with her. There is a brief tense moment, when Sunset sees Killer, and the ancestral urge to hunt comes to the drake, but years of abuse and living off scraps has made Sunset a meek hunter at best. A quick but loud discourse from Killer is more than enough to scare her off to hide within the cloak of Dapple, giving off vibes of spicy sausage neediness so powerful that you all have to avoid her for an hour.
The ranger returns just as it is getting dark with four good size grouse that he has caught. The birds are cleaned, put over the fire to cook, some spices and herbs offered from Jal, and soon the smell of the meat is making all your mouths water.
There is quietness to the group. You have spent your first day together and already meet a foe quite powerful, and with a foreboding danger. Why are they here? What were they looking for? What or who was “the Lady” the mage had spoken of? Dinner is prepared and eaten with minimal conversation. (DM’s note – feel free to back post after dinner conversation)
Jal looks over the Staff and amulet of the mantis. Close to the end of the day, and feeling very curious, he uses his magic to identify the items. The staff of similar to a wand of Paralyzation, and retains some charges. However, there is no way a human mouth could pronounce the command words to active it. The amulet is another matter. The magic is vague, alien to Jal. It is made to find a source of magical power – which is the direction you are heading. Beyond pointing in the direction of the power, it has no other properties.
Char offers to take the watch for the night, to let all rest and takes position on the roof of the Waymeet – the best place to spot any danger. The rest of you get the feeling that Char wants to have the time alone, so take advantage of the offer.
Char spends a quiet evening on the roof keeping watch. No dangers occur during the evening from without. Later, Sunset joins him, curls up between his crossed legs and shares some mental imagery of mean squirrels, warm places to stay and really spicy sausages.
But not all passes well in the evening.
Arien is shining his armour. The ick and goo is all over it and it seems to withstand the toughest of polishes. As he scrubs, he sees a reflection in his shield – His sister Alloryn standing at the door. Arien turns surprise to see she is not there. Ignoring polish and armour, he steps around his sleeping companion to run outside to look for his sister.
It is dark outside. Very dark. Almost too dark. He is blinded by the saturation of the night, but he knows he saw his sister here. He looks around then turns back to the Waymeet to grab a stick from the fire.
But the Waymeet is gone. The building, his friends, his sword and armour are all gone. It is pitch black and he can not see where he is going. He struggles with the buckles on his Imperial uniform, hoping they can be used as a weapon or a way out of the darkness. But why am I wearing an Imperial Uniform?
There is a flash of red light from beneath Arien’s feet. Its sheer intensity blinds the knight for a moment, and then he perceives what is below him. A vast hole in the ground has opened, and from deep within demonic creatures are crawling upwards. But below them is Alloryn, being dragged downward by something – Arien can’t see its face, just that is has an immensely large green arm with six claw like fingers. A deep voice laughs at Arien from below.
“She’s mine now Knightling!”
Arien awakes with a start. He is in the Waymeet, it is late and his companions sleep all around him. It was just a dream, but he is sweating and all tensed up. Any chance for more sleep coming to Arien is now gone into the night.
Dm’s Note – I’ll stop there in case anyone wants to post more for the evening. Otherwise, the morning moving out post will be Wednesday.

Topic: Firefly/Serenity RPG - Looking for Browncoats
Subject: crew and sheets
I am hoping for a crew of 6, but will settle on four, with two stay on ship NPCs.
I don't know Bro, your character sheets can be intimidatingly detailed.  I am trying to keep it simple.
I will post character creation details soon. We will be playing on the veteran level - meaning the ship and crew have been together for a while and have developed a reputation for getting the job done.
The game will start with the ship docking on Beaumonde, and Captain in desparate need for work because the crew needs pay, the ship needs fuel and, oh there's the powerful need to eat. Your last mission when wonderfully smooth until you reached your employer and found he and all his men had been killed by a rival gang. So you made half of what you expected and were stuck with a hold full of self sealing stem bolts for high powered compression mining equipment. Hopefully you can dump these on Beaumonde.
When developing your characters, you should think along the lines of Serenity's crew and any other movie/TV team that works together but often deals adversity. Battlestar Galactic has some great characters (Starbuck as mechanic) and did the A-Team (Murdock as pilot), CSI (Horatio as gunslinger), and many others.
There are some core positions that need to be filled though. You have to have:
A Pilot - someone to fly the ship, keep the reavers off your tail and manage to land eventhough the main coupling just blew.
A Mechanic - Someone to fix the ship when mean people do all sort of nasty stuff to it.
A Medic - Someone to fix up the crew when them mean and nasty people put holes in them.
A Gunslinger - A person who fights, can handle a gun, are a pool cue or whatever comes to hand.
A Talker - Someone to make contacts with people. The smooth talker who can use words and subtle gestures to get in and out of trouble.
A Commander - The person who will have the final say so the crew doesn't spend their entire day yammering at each other.
Now, these roles are not exclusive. You could play a Commander Talker Gunslinger, however the more hats you put on the less effective you will be at any one thing.
So far I believe I have Yanamari, Bromern, Lyskhala and Blamm as interested. Please speak up here or via PM or email if you'd like to join.

Now I have/had a busy weekend. I need to post to the games I am in before the DM's start to send me nagograms. I may not get a chance to move CWWLLO forawrd today, but I will do so before Wed.

Subject: Really big shoe
Just wanted to share this...
Every year, Cathy *Vanadia* (my wife) usually has to go out at this time with my daughter Veronica to get her new shoes and winter boots. My daughter is ten and currently five feet tall, which is scary to Cathy who is all of five foot one.
Well, I had to do this shopping run this year, as Cathy was away for work. This year, Veronica jumped two and a half sizes. She is wearing size 7.5 Ladies at age 10.
Now I am six foor four. I grew at the same astonshing rate and wear size 14 today. I remember my dad cursing at me because I grew out of clothes so fast. He'd always say - I hope one day you have a child that grows as fast as you- then you'll see what its like.
Who says there are no magic curses?

Subject: Ohhhh!
Now I am all a shiver!
Hasn't been decided yet, but I was thinking a Firefly class because that is what everyone will be familiar with. There are others though (Shark and Dragonfly come to mind)
Depends on whether the Captain (or crew owners) want to own a ship outright(in which case expect cheap) or owe a lot of money to a sleezy Loan Shark named Al (you get mods, but you have to make enough to make monthly payments).
But I still need a full crew to decide.

In a Verse where "I'aim to misbehave" is the golden rule, rules are not an issue.
The mechanics of the game will be in the background. I am assume everyone playing doesn't know the rule system. I will keep it as free and open as possible.
It is a western in space. You will draw your guns. If someone tries to kill you, you will kill em right back. Rogues, scoundrels, con men and snake oil salesmen galore.

Links are coming
Captain, if it is an issue then you don't have to have a Captain. You could all own an equal part of the ship and never seem to have enough credits to buy the others out.

Subject: hard to say
I haven't got enough responses to answer your questions. One post a day is still too much of a goal I think for most people. I tend to stick to one a week, but I am averaging better than that (2-3 per week) in CWWLLO right now.
I would think if people were into it and we kept up the pace, the first campaign would takes a number of months (at least 6).

You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me...
Are you a fan of Jose Whedon’s Firefly/Serenity series? Ever felt like you wanted to role play in the verse? Well here is the opportunity to do so. I have recently acquired the Serenity RPG system. It is a very simple rule system that I am adapting for online gaming. What I would be looking for are players to be the crew of a ship, most likely a firefly class. Ideally I would like a crew of six with someone being Captain. The ship will need a mechanic, a pilot, someone with doctoring skills, and a couple of people to handle PR (knowing guns, fights etc).
Before I go into the mechanics of the game, I want to see who is interested and in what type of characters. Look to the crew of Serenity and see what appeals to you, add your own twists and voila. Or if you have something completely different in mind – let me know.
As I said, game rules are simple and background. This is a game for the creative. Basically, you have stats in the form of die (d2, d4, d6, d8, d12). You then have skills. If you attempt anything it is ability + skill rolled against a difficulty. Your character will have assets (good in a fight, good pilot etc) and complications (quick tempered, plain crazy etc). This is a game where things going wrong will be part of the regular norm.
So sound off if you wish to sail the ‘Verse, looking for work or just staying ahead of the alliance. The actual game will probably not start until the new year.

I was wondering if anyone would object.
I can see your point with Char, and let the record show that Someone wanted Dapple to go up to the mantis and snap its neck while you questioned it. Talk about bloodthirsty!
It's fun to be the DM.
Anyway, I can edit my post so that either Talas or Dapple takes care of the beast while the others are elsewhere.
"Char: Where's the bug? Talas: I cut him free."
Not a biggie. It is why I wrote one of you dispatched it and moved on.
