Character Creation

Post by Nick » Mon Aug 11, 2008 12:38 pm

First I would like to welcome You to the game. Creating a character for US Colonial Marines RPG is very simple, although it will take a few minutes of Your time.

The game uses the Aliens Adventure Game rules from Leading Edge Games. The rules are pretty solid but I had to cut some corners in adapting it for web use.

Please follow the link below to get to the Join form - It will open in a new window.

Funky. Which stat do I need to make my character barely if ever flee. Like willpower or psyche sort of stat.

Will is how courageous Your character is.

Motivation is how determined Your character is to reach his long term goals.

This is a fresh start. New campaign, new universe, new everything. You can keep Your characters name and let him be more experienced than new players characters are allowed to be. But in essence it is a new character, the earlier campaign events are to be treated as they never existed.

New game sets off right after Aliens in the year 2179 AD.

First I would like to say, welcome back.

You can just tell me here and I will add it to the roster.

I would also like to point out how important it is that You put Your forum player name in Your application (not aimed at st_constantine) or I am clueless who is the player.

Now get those characters in so I can kill them!

I want to keep my old character, which you said is possible. In stats terms will they get a few bumped up skills? If so shall we create the character with them or will you mark them up?

BTW for some reason the site seems to be a little slow for me, anyone else notice this?

Yeah You can keep Your old character.

Old characters being transferred gets one master level, two expert level, three professional, four certified and five novice.

That means an old transferred character has more skills than a novice character (The twelve skills untrained does not apply naturally)

This ONLY applies to character being transferred or on new characters played by old players AFTER agreement with me.

Hey, I was a member of the original RP long time ago. I was there during Cygnus Minor or whatever.

Can I still have my Desert Eagle?
