I see that Dun is going to be a no-nonsense kind of guy. That will be fun to see evolve! You did a great job with the overarching themes.<br/><br/>The XO and I are finishing up some comments on the first Mission - it'll be a fun one that will keep us all on our toes.<br/><br/>As an aside, I don't play games as a traditional GM per se. You can ask Pixi and the others in DC. I like games to be organic...ugh, I hate using that word...but it fits. I have an overarching idea, a beginning, some details and then an open end. I hope you all enjoy adding to the story. I've never played DnD, but I get the sense that a DM is someone that throws various obstacles at players and they have to roll dice and such to get out of situations. I won't be doing that. I will craft a situation and then we all see where it goes.<br/><br/>Important things to consider:<br/><br/>1. No god-moding. Our characters have faults...lots of faults. In fact, it would be interesting for someone to lose a rank...I don't recall that happening on TNG. Not meaning any offense, but if someone does step outside the realm of Trek reality, I'll pull it back.<br/><br/>2. Mission GMs. I hope that some of you will be interested in taking the lead on a Mission. If you have ideas, you can PM me - we already have a couple that I'll keep track of.<br/><br/>3. Arguments will happen, but we're here to have fun. I know we'll disagree and such, but I'm here to have fun and when it isn't fun we shouldn't be doing it anymore.<br/><br/>4. Posting Fear. I have a fear of posting silence. It freaks me out sometimes. I may need to be reminded that it's okay if there are some lapses in posting, we all have real life (it is perfectly clear right now since I'm sick). When there are pauses in posting, I tend to want to jump in and stir the pot, but I realize I shouldn't always do this.<br/><br/>Whew...that took more energy than I had and I'm now going to go make some soup ;)
