------------------------------ Bundle: 561 Archive-Message-Number: 7056 Subject: Some Campain stuff Date: Wed, 23 Mar 94 21:03:38 PST From: "James M. Kelleher" [-- REDACTED --] Hello I've been lurking around here for a while, rules bashing and nit-picking are not all that inteesting it can sometimes help. My Campain is changing to the T:TNE rules. As they seem to be better and more playable than MT. Although We are not in the NEW ERA yet ( 1122 ). We are playing in the interesting times leading to the Arrival Vengence and beyond. I have been devloping some of the Sons, daughters, And grandkids of some of my characters. We also have some idea of how the history to 1130 will be in the Domain ( Regancy ). Two others of my players are also on here so I wil have to be careful what I say here. We have thought a lot about the Zhodani James Kundert is the most knowageable about them Catie and I One of the things I have considered is that the Consulate is indeed larger than the Domain and there are some political hard-liners who want to absorb the Domain, Some "Liberals" who want to become more economic pardners of the Domain partially because of the ecnomic doldrums after the 5th. also they realize that to absorb a chunk of realestate like the Domain whould be tough and hard on the consulate's econimy as well as the former Imperials would fight to the last Sophant, in the middile are the moderats. who want to see things stay the same. The Consulate is VERY conservative. Some of the liberals are beginning to realize that there is a danger of stagnating. James ? I don't know if you agree, but I'd like to see it discussed. The Vargar are an important force especally near the Corridor borders. then there are the Aslan that situation is easy to straiten out Hire them to help with the Vargar problem. " If you have a lot of problems, it is amazing how they will solve each other. " ( mis quote of Piper ). There are some of the characters who are clostly involved in all of this as two of them grew up close to Norris one and her husband where Countess of Regina and as such she became one of Norris' closest advisors and most trusted Admirals. One fo the others is a Baroness and one of the Richest Woman in the sector she also is a chaired professor at the university of Regina at the Kingsbury Campus ( History ). She is blind and has a hobby that even her friends won't know about until she " dissapears " in 1125 She finds and kills Ine Givar terrorists. She is also a very strong and subitle Psi ( very under cover notice the subtile ;-) ). These are the some of the people who in our history will go on the first combined Domain - Zhodani expidition into the core area. They had a vision and " Saw " these people there. So this is some of our set up. And some of the characters who will influence them. The present Group: Marcus: Ex scout, ships Captain, First pilot, He doesn't have very many secrets, only his " Purple Colon " ( an accident with a hard Naval Vacc suit. ) Astrid: Ships Purser, Beautiful, and into making money, Their present Gig is the keys to the bank as far as she isconcerned. Blasnie: Short Green Aiain? Ships engineer agood on although prone to talking about shoveling hydrogen into the engins and practical jokes. He is very secrative about his past except when confronted by a doctor he calls them vivisectionsts and complains about his buddy Ziplock. ( Anyone Recall Spaced Invaders? :-) ) "Doc Trank" He has a name but he is called that as he was prone to trank the original ships Captain ( Thats another story and as the player lurks here, I can't tell it here ) ex army soemtimes tweaks out. Amelia Redrock: Engineer and second pilot ( she is a better pilot than Marcus but she isn't saying anything ). She is a Raccoonid She doesn't have any strange secrets she just likes life. Flak: It's not his real name, The players had him figured out almost immediatly, But the characters haven't although if he keeps being under stress he will blow his cover. Ships Security. He is a Zhodani Guards Tvarchedl' who had a mission into the imperiam and is now doing research into the Imperial mindset. He is unknown to him, known to INI. And his superiors and Ini are talking. Gunner Cade: Gunner was hired om to run the ship's guns and teach Astrid and Flak how to run them themselves. The Crew think he is a retired Marine Sargent. He is accualy a Brigider General and in INI NOT retired he is there to observe Flak ansd help him, sonetimes it is hard to keep flak's cover... Doug Marine Frist Leuitenant still in the service he is the demolitions expert. He also is the other Marine's Bat man. Maghs: This is a nick name he is a Vagar who is on active service and on loan from the 49th. he is another Brigader General. His Idea of covert seems to the others to be a little obivious he just covered his rank insitnia. and they have accepted him as just a Gunbunny ( he is not...) He has soem more secrets but I can not discuss them here... He and Gunner have known each other for years... Well thats a capsule discription of the characters. next time I can discuss some of the campain as I am takeing up to much band width. The Group, after the guest GM finishes our prsent op seems to think that Disappering for a while would be a good idea. So they are thinking of going into Foreven Sector ( They don't realize that they are taking a member of INI with them [ if he/they Survive]). James I hope I haven't showed too much see ya Sunday. Talk to you soon. Good Gaming. jim - -- Remember: no matter where you go... There you are... B. Banzi James M. Kelleher [-- REDACTED --] ------------------------------
