Some general info...<br/><br/>Characters will be made using GURPS 4th Edition, for now just the Basic Set and GURPS Powers. My hope is that each PC will be a unique alien, created by the player, using the advantages and powers to flesh out their physical characteristics and abilities. We will be starting with 250 points, and if it turns out not to be enough to make something decent, might raise it to 300. But let's see what we can do with 250 first. If anyone needs help, I will be happy to do so, either here in the OOC, via PM or on Skype, whichever is easier at the time.<br/><br/>The main form of active powers in the game(besides innate alien abilities) will be psionics... but they will pretty much just be powers from the Basic Set or Powers books that happen to be psionic in origin. Psionics is entirely optional, some people were born with it, and some weren't, and there are at least some psions in every alien race, because...<br/><br/>One application of psionics specific to this game will be with respect to opening and navigating the wormholes that connect the star systems to one another. I'm still working out the details of much of that bit, so contact me if you wish for your character to be a "Key", and I can give you the point values and requisite skills.<br/><br/>As far as a timeframe goes, I would like to start the game some time in mid-January, which will hopefully give anyone who doesn't have time to work on anything before the holidays plenty of time to do so after things settle down from Yuletide/Hannukah/Winter Solstice-y madness. More time can always be afforded, as long as I know everyone is seriously making some effort to get their characters done.<br/><br/>Having asked for serious effort, the main point of this game will be to have fun telling what I hope will be an interesting story! If you have any ideas, please share them here in the OOC thread, and if you just want to goof around a bit, you are welcome to do that here as well!  ;D<br/><br/>One tiny request, if I have invited you and you are interested, could you post a little something here to that effect, if nothing else? I want to start getting an idea of how many people I am going to have. Once I figure out everyone I want to invite, that is. And if anyone has any questions or concerns,  please ask! I won't bite unless you would like me to.  ;)
