Velde Protectorate Game

[lightsenshi]

Located coreward from the Spinward Marches, the Velde Protectorate occupies a portion of the sector between the Zhodani Consolate and the Vargr Extants. Currently consisting of four subsectors, the Protectorate represents a highly technological society, roughly equivalent of the Imperium in both technological capacity and military might.

The Velde Protectorate is a legacy in contradictions. While less than fourty years old, it possess a rich and vibrant culture. It is a place of three uniquely diverse cultures of equality yet as the same time there is a strong anti-Zhodani bias. There is a high level of education, arts, and science yet at the same time it is a state at war.

Hello all. I am opening a new pbem group based upon my designed background. The group is located at:
http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/VeldeT20/

The initial campaign theme will most likely be military/mercenary in nature.

Greetings and salutations,

I have read the web site with some information and have a question or two.

1. Are there any restrictions other than the ones posted for character generation?

2. When do you want the characters?

As to the first question, not that I can think of. There may end up being some but those will likely arise when characters are posted.

As to the second question, there is no exact time limit. I tend to be fairly relaxed as a game master and am not in that much of a hurry to get started. Quality takes time, after all.

There's a couple of interested personages. I'd like a couple of more to round a group out. It's bring your own character.

 

[lightsenshi]

There are still openings. The website now has history and everything on it.

 

[Tony Canopus]

I'm interested. I am also interested in playing my first Vargr or some kinda alien. (I normally play Humans (Sols)) You got any indigenous races for consideration?

 

[lightsenshi]

Nope. Just Vargr, Human, or Aslan.

 

[Tony Canopus]

Can I be what amounts to a "Fighter"? Is that ok? not so much a soldier, necessarily, but a scrapper of sorts? A former Corsair?

 

[Tony Canopus]

Vargr Mercenary?

 

[lightsenshi]

Sure. You can find character creation details as a file on the yahoo group.

 

[Tony Canopus]

So we should be from one of the provided worlds? or any world from nearby?

(edited to provide character creation guidelines)

Because this campaign doesn't take place in the Imperium, there are a few details that require notification. For ease of reference, I've listed them here and any additional items that come up will be noted in the future.

I would prefer that everyone have some military experience as it will make life much for me when it comes time to put everyone together.
Thank you for your interest and participation.


1) Abilities: roll 4d6 for each statistic like normal.

2) Race: The only races available are Humani (Human), Vargr, and Aslan. Also, anyone of Zhodani blood will suffer a sharp social penalty. A pure Zhodani will have a maximum social of 10 and a mixed will have a maximum social of 12.

3) Homeworld: Irregardless of what you may roll up, for purposes of character creation, you will have a tech level at least 10. The average tech level for the Protectorate is 12 and many worlds have an even higher tech level.
*Alternately, to my preference, select a homeworld from the planetary guide (guide.html)

4) Class: There are no Scouts in the Protectorate. Exploration is handled by the navy and diplomacy is handled by the nobles.

5) Prior History: You can roll as many terms as the book allows with the following exception. No one with a social stat of 16 or higher can be fourty or older. The established nobility is very new and most nobles were knighted for service rather than inheriting.
*Also remember that a character on active duty in a branch of the service can (and should) add half of their level (rounded down) to determine their assignment for that turn.

6) Mustering Out: Any questions, please ask. Remember that the Trust Fund feat does not add to your available money after mustering out.

 

[Tony Canopus]

Acknowledged. Generation Commencing...

 

[Tony Canopus]

To clarify: Roll 4d6 drop lowest for ability scores?

 

[lightsenshi]

Just like normal, yes.
