I actually saw B&N having a sale on them and jumped at the opportunity to pick up the Edge of the Abyss & Into the Storm splatbooks.

Ok, I'll need to re-submit the character sheet. I spent some points in the rank 2 section that I shouldn't have. Oh well, more points for characteristic boosts. Otherwise it's fine. The acquisition I was interested in was a Good-quality Stormtrooper carapace. I wanted some Kasrkin-style armor (I dig the goggled helmets). It's -20 for being Very Rare and -10 for being of good quality but +30 since the acquisition is individual-only for a balance of 0. Is that acceptable?

I have those two books, well, one printed, and one on pdf. They're very good. You should be rank two after you spend the 2100 pts, look at the XP chart.

The armor sounds fine, I'll take a look probably later today or tomorrow at your pc and offer up any suggestions or thoughts.

Hey Lando, just wanted to let you know I am still gonna play. I have hardly been home during the holidays so I have not had a chance to finish up my Explorator, but I almost have it completed. Just a few more things I need to do then I will get it to you.
Again, this is just to let you kn ow I am still here and gonna play.

That's fine, I've been busy with a lot of things myself, so I'll be looking at the submissions later this week/weekend. Next game isn't until the following week.

I want to see if I'm clear on spending XP. Rank 2 is obtained by spending 7000 XP, so that means we can only spend XP in rank 1 until we reach 7000 XP spent therefore we only have 100 XP left when we hit rank 2. In other words everything we bought so far should only be from rank 1, is this correct?

Hello, Farzin the Seneschal here.

Indeed you are correct, you can only spend points in rank (x+1) after spending enough in rank (x) so that your total spent = the amount for rank (x+1). This unfortunately means that you probably will not actually be able to spend anything in rank 2 (as i recall very few classes have rank 2 skills at 100 points or less).

Good to have you onboard, it will be great to have a reliable explorator (especially if some of our bionics break) to repair our constant bad attempts at space piloting (hint: not every pilot check has to be +0 mod).

Also a proper voidmaster would be awesome so we can actually have someone to make the space piloting checks.

To brief all the newbies so we dont waste time ingame (precious precious time); Us and our ship, the sovereign venture, are trapped in a gravity well around a large Yu'vath crystal fortress. The ship has lost power to its engines and guns but there are several other ships around us in the debris. Some of them friendly (most of the humans), some of them unfriendly (the colony filled with rioting mutants (who possibly may be alien hybrids) and genestealers) and some plain hostile (the crystalline ships guarding the fortress itself). After evac'ing most of the sane and normal people out of the colony (leaving all the gribbles trapped in the colony as they have no intrasteller craft), stopping briefly to have our Captain and arch-mil fight some genestealers and a large hive beast. Thus coming to our current session, where we next plan to fly our small guncutter (shuttle/dropship/fighter hybrid ship) onto the surface of the fortress and plant a large warhead on its central tower to hopefully stop the gravity effect.

Good to have new peeps on board and will see you all on the 6th.

Thanks for the response to my question and the brief on the current game situation as it stands Hidersine.

I am glad to be aboard and looking forward to the game.

So, I guess we're assumed to have been on the trip all along and familiar with the rest of everybody? I can't imagine a replacement Explorator & Voidmaster showing up in a scene like that.

I'd suggest that we be amongst the people previously evac'ed.

Happy New Year! For the three submissions I've gotten your pcs, I'll be reviewing them over next couple of days. Also Bleak, I will be reviewing your changes.

I still have an opening for a Missionary.
