I dont suppose I could get a copy of those rulebooks as well sunphoenix (especially BBSW! )? I play tabletop games quite often and am always open to new systems. I would also totally be up for an Outsider themed game.

soulthunder@hotmail.com (It's a throw away address)

[sunphoenix]

LOL! No problem... I'll send it later this evening.. leaving for a sit-down game right now!

[bunnyboy]

Well, I do not have a GURPS rulebook and adapting some fantasy RPG rules to a Sci-Fi setting could take a while.
But I will look into it when I´m back home again, if you like.

A possible story that comes to my mind whould be a Loroi diplomatic mission to earth. The characters could be a mixture of humans and loroi, and could further explore the differences between the two species, while facing an unexpected threat.
What do you think?

Would be interesting. Can you make it?

[sunphoenix]

I think I'd just convert {Lt.} Kamielle Lynn as he's human an use him as the character...since the premise of the Deep Strike Game was indeed a 'joint' Human/Loroi mission.. though a joint military strike mission.

[VonWolffe]

Something that caught my attention from Arioch's explanation of ground war in the Outsiderverse is that Loroi Marines use Energy Rifles and grenades in space, and a variety of Slug Throwers on the ground. Any larger weaponry or squad support weaponry is self propelled, which to me means hover bots with machine guns and rocket launchers.

We may be outclassed technologically by the Loroi, but our SOF guys are no joke. Hand them some Loroi heavy weapons and they can lug around the big guns for Loroi strike teams or even special forces units. That would make a ship based game centred around a military unit comprised of psionically talented Loroi, pilots, warriors, and human SOF.

The reasons for creating a joint Loroi/Human special forces unit are beyond me, maybe they just want to see what we are capable of. I would be willing to bet that humans are more athletic than Loroi as we evolved to run nonstop for days, and our men at least are bigger and stronger than the Loroi (basing that on Your average SOF guy or Marine), and we too live in a society that has grown up with war. We're very good at it.

Also thanks for those books sunphoenix, I don't think I realized what BBSW was.

As far as systems are concerned, rather than shoehorning a fantasy game into a sci fi game, might I suggest the now discontinued Alternity? It has everything from psionics to rules about ship combat and creation, to mutations and cybernetics. I have played it for years and think it might just be the perfect system for Outsider. I can send you guys the core books to check out, but I have dozens of expansions and other books for it. No harm in trading a dead system eh?

[sunphoenix]

That would be GREAT! I saw Alternity when it came out but was too involved with other scifi and fantasy games to pay it much mind.. and we were all at the time learning how to use the D&D 3rd edition system at that point. When the smoke cleared Alternity had flashed and gone... never looked into the system. Sure send me the files for Alternity.

As for BESM... it is not per' se a fantasy game it is multi-genre and works ok for any setting. Check out my character Maiannon for the Incursion Game... he is definitely a scifi character in the BESM system. I only suggested it as all the rules... no matter the genre' are all in the same place and its a relatively simple system.

But.. if you are more familiar and comfortable with the Alternity system that would be fine as well .. the GM for a game should feel comfortable with WHATEVER system they choose to run.

As for BBSW.. LOLS! I believe I posted to someone that they probably didn't want that! lol!

My e-mail address is sunphoenix_72@yahoo.com, its my main e-mail.. I don't care who really knows. If I don't like something someone sends me I can delete it and block the address as spam! LOL!

[VonWolffe]

I don't really think I am qualified to run an Outsider campaign, I only have a passing familiarity with the setting in that there are sexy blue space elves with psionic powers fighting giant communist bugs. I could act as a kind of referee for the system if we do decide to go with Alternity, but as far as the game that we are discussing goes I think someone who knows Outsider would do a much better job. Even if the GM does not know the system, so long as they could tell a story then I could take care of the nuts and bolts.

I will have those books sent over to you momentarily. I won't flood you with expansions quite yet though. Would any lurkers considering joining the game like a copy as well?

[sunphoenix]

You know just as much about Outsider as any of us if you have read the total amount of the comic strip thus far published. THAT and ANY post that Arioch has made and nothing else... {as far as I'm concerned} has any bearing on the setting. Were not looking for someone to write.. as well as Arioch has written HIS world... only like his world he has designed.

I myself am in too many games to run another one when I'm effectively running two right now and playing like 7 or 8 RPG games as of now.

I'm a collector of game systems... feel free to send me EVERYTHING you have for Alternity.. I will eat it all up!

[Suederwind]

Would be interesting. Can you make it?

Sorry for the delay! I´m currently reading through that Tri-Stat Rulebook sunphoenix has send me (thanks again!), but it takes longer than expected, as there are some other things I have to do at the moment (among others: helping to prepare a New Year's Eve dinner/party for some friends, creating some concept art and doing some worldbuilding for a project of mine, preparing a new storyarc for one of the games I´m GM-ing, etc...).
I don´t think that adapting "the dark eye" rules would work here. It would take some work and time to adapt them, I don´t know if there is a english version of the current german rules (edition 4.1) that I´m used to and I don´t even have the german rulebooks as pdf versions. So lets forget that idea.

Well, on the other hand, I had some time to think about the story. It would be some kind of reversed outsider situation:
The story will take place one year after the the start of the human mission to make contact with the Loroi. The mission seems to have failed, only the Prabhu and the Utsumi returned with no sign of the other scouts, the Loroi or the Umiak.
While mankinds government is debating about what to do next, the colonial fleet prepared a series of "checkpoints" in the systems close to Esperanza, on the way to the Loroi Space. Ready to alarm humanity, slow down the enemy or make contact with whatever might come that way.
On one of these "checkpoints", only a few jumps away from Esperanza, the older destroyer Cydonia under the command of Captain Blake, awaits the arrival of relief after 3 months of boring guard duty in that system. But suddenly the peace in that system is interrupted by the arrival of two unknown vessels, that start fighting each other the moment they enter the system. As the fighting ends shortly after, both ships a destroyed, but Cydonia receives an emergency message in trade and english from a damaged small craft (a shuttle), that is slowly heading for the human ship...

The player characters could be either human (part of Cydonias crew) or loroi (the ones in the shuttle).
I have to do some more research, create the NPCs and so on. So its not finished.
How do you like that setting?

[bunnyboy]

I like it.

My idea was likewise, but with only humans to play. Commercial ship going on to lone outpost, which find instead remains of combat and couple of almost dead aliens. Because it is before Orgus contact, they have no idea of what they have found. And because the travel to home takes almost year (the jump generator is old has to be break apart and reassemble by hand after each use), can they keep themselves and their visitors alive to earth or nearest civilization.

[sunphoenix]

I like it too...

I'd play either side if one or the other is more compatible or needed for the game. I have Kamielle {human} or 'Stormrage' {Teidar-Loroi}...

[Suederwind]

That sounds funny too!
Well, who knows what could happen on Cydonias way back home? Its an old destroyer, so engine trouble is not impossible.
The goal of the Cydonia and its crew would be to pick up this craft and bring its passengers safe back to earth, learn more about them, their culture, etc... and later maybe show them earth or so.
For the Loroi, their goal would be holding the shuttle together long enough for the humans to arrive, establish some form of relation with the humans, helping them on their way home and try to understand them and their habits.

The crew of the Cydonia would consist of the following personnel:
-Captain (NPC): Jeremiah Blake, age: 65, nationality: British, on his last command before retirement, a skilled and cautious commander, maybe a little short (1,68m "tall") and
old-fashioned (he still prefers glasses instead of a small surgery ), fancied by his crew, but not liked by this superiors for his sometimes strange ideas and habits, ...
-Weapons Officer (NPC): Yannick Metzger, age: 22, nationality: German, best gunner of his year on the academy, on his first mission, can´t keep his mouth shut, likes 20th century music , ...

possible Human character slots (always open for suggestions):
-science officer: responsible for the scanners, examination of alien artifacts/transmissions/etc..., can speak a little trade, ...
-medical officer: keeps the crew and their guests healthy as the name suggests
-communications officer: fluent trade speaker, handles Cydonias communications, translates, etc...
-head of security: responsible for security on board the Cydonia, good shooter, experienced in hand to hand combat, ...
-Chief Engineer: keeps the Cydonia going, repairs broken stuff, etc...
-...

The Loroi (former crew of the "Blaze"-class frigate "Argent Fire" (as for all Loroi names: better suggestions are very welcome...)):
On their way to establish diplomatic contact with "humaniti", based on the informations that have been obtained by the lone survivor of the Naam incident. The frigate and its a bit unusual crew stumbled over a lonely Umiak scout, although outgunned, they have been able to destroy the enemy, but the "Argent Fire" suffered hevy damage and only few crewmembers could escape the following destruction of the frigate, as its reactor-control failed. Stuck on a small and damaged shuttle, their only hope is that alien ship, that slowly approaches them...

-Soroin Mallas (NPC): spoken name: bein rezei "copper spear", age: 22, raised on Deinar, red hair, pigtail, "Captain" of the ship (her first command), she is eager to fight but knows when to follow orders, has a harsh voice and is short tempered, ongoing disagreements with the Mizol Losat about the chain of command on board the "Argent Fire", barely escaped the destruction, badly injured ...

possible Loroi character slots (always open for suggestions, all Loroi PC and NPC can speak/understand English):
-Mizol Losat: leads the diplomatic mission, ...
-Listel Sininran: "science officer", ...
-Teidar Sezon: responsible for the security of the diplomatic mission, ...
-Tenoin Narrat: helmsman and current shuttlepilot, ...
-...

If there are only few people who wants to play, it would be better to choose one side.
And sorry for any spelling errors.

[fredgiblet]

And sorry for any spelling errors.

As we say at work (chat support, where I am right now) "I speak fluent Typo, it's not a problem".

[sunphoenix]

Well {Lt.} Kamielle Lynn is a Human - Pilot/Helmsman and Sonnidezi "Stormrage" is a Loroi - Teidar Security Officer. I can convert either or both to BESM... do you want me to write them both up and submitt them for your approval?

[bunnyboy]

Hmm. I think I would make either loroi or neridi (if allowed) specialized in either trade administration or biochemical reactions.
(Poor Alexander. Who would have known, that cyanide, which gives good taste to tezir, could be so dangerous to humans.)

[Suederwind]

As we say at work (chat support, where I am right now) "I speak fluent Typo, it's not a problem".

Good to know!

Well {Lt.} Kamielle Lynn is a Human - Pilot/Helmsman and Sonnidezi "Stormrage" is a Loroi - Teidar Security Officer. I can convert either or both to BESM... do you want me to write them both up and submitt them for your approval?

You can write both and send them to me. But it could take some time for me to check them, so no need to hurry.
I have not decided if there are two groups of players (loroi and humans) or only one (human or loroi). That depends on how many of you guys want to play.

I take it, that we use the BESM rules?

Some suggestions for the characters in general: please take a loroi or a human character, send that character to me and include a discription that should include a small backgroundstory and a motivation (like: why is that character in that situation, what does he want to achieve, ...), if your character should be of a different race (like a Nereidi or Barsam) please send me a plossible explanation why he is included in the crew.

Poor Alexander. Who would have known, that cyanide, which gives good taste to tezir, could be so dangerous to humans.

Oh well... That was my misstake. Writing long texts at 2 AM is not my strong point, I gues. Alex is not dead, he is that lone survivor. Why should he commit suicide anyway, with all that hot blue space elve girls around?

[Beliskner]

Hey
I could join in for fun . If possible I could use Rox blueprint from Operation: Deep Strike for this one( I will sent rewritten character for Suederwind on pm)

ps
I have a lot of free time lately ;]

I wasn't killing him but wanted to point the danger of our different chemistry. Any poison is harmless if diluted enough and syanide, which prevent iron based breathing, may be harmless substance for copper blooded loroi and perhaps used for seasoning like tabasco. I now understand, why Alexander think loroi food tasteless http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider_ch2.html. They serve him (baby)food, which contains only energy and universal proteins, which is more easile used by different metabolisms

[sunphoenix]

Well bunnyboy and I are familiar with BESM. Though we could use any system you would prefer...but it will be difficult if we don't possess the rules to look at if we are to make characters.

If we are to use BESM... we do need to know from you... how many points you wish us to make our characters on? The Examples of Kamielle and Sonnidezi I will make off the same number of base points I built Maiannon on for Incursion.

He was built on 210pts and has 31pts in defects... though his sheet says he's 240pts. The BESM 3rd Edition Rules say on p. 8 that Heroic characters are from 150 pts to 299 pts. So I'll just try to build both characters on 225pts... {the middle ground} and see what defects I come up with.

[sunphoenix]

Ok. This turned out more expensive than I'd figured. All I did was try to convert the Deep Strike character of Kamielle to BESM... wow. Waay more points than I expected. Now I could cut out a lot of points to making him no where near as effective for what he's supposed to be... an Ace Space Fighter Pilot.

However when I looked at Fusebox's solider character from Incursion [ Harold "Harry" Markum ]... I realized that to make an effective 'soldier' with only 225 points - ALL he can do is fight or shoot! There are no points to spare for a actual 'person', that's not really enough points to make a rounded character. Most players will spend at least 170 to 190pts on stats alone!

The Example given in the book {its been a while since I played BESM} on p. 16 'Tabitha' is built o 350 points...which curiously is 10times exactly more than what 1st and second edition BESM suggested with only 35points. [1st and 2nd Edition BESM stats were only 1pt per level and there were only 6 levels to ANY attribute...]

So here is Kamielle.. to give you some idea of what could be done ...you will have to decide how many points you really want to give us to build with ... I'll adjust as needed this was...again just AS I SAW IT as straight conversion of what I wanted the Deep Striker Character to be... constrained by the system of the original write up...which you can look at below.

I'll start on Sonnidezi "Stormrage" now...

{TCA Lieut.} Kamielle Lynn < -- Post Color 4040FF
Mecha 'Fighter' Pilot {Male} [Points 319]
