				Woooo!!! I'm in :D<br><br>Glad I stuck round. Been dead for a few days but I'm definitely ready to kick some ass! Or at least plot some asskicking.<br><br>@Autocad<br>I actually created a character that's very similar to yours. She's pretty much a Hacker/Engineer/Medic. I haven't posted her as I'm still fine-tuning some thiings, but she'll be done fairly soon (Hopefully tonight). I hope its not too much of a bother.<br><br>I guess the 1st thing we should probably figure out is the plot/setting/Roles<br><br>I'm definitely feeling intergalactic war, or at least a galaxy on the brink with all that lovely diplomatic tension. An easy plot for that would be the different factions trying to Win the war or stop it from happening.<br><br>If that turns out to be the case would our merry band be apart of one of these major factions: sort of like a Special Forces squad doing missions for our coven? Or are we just a haphazard group that all happened to get caught up in the mess of things and have to figure our way out?

				Here we have two different questions--what sort of campaign is this, and how many factions?<br><br>The 'default' is something like Firefly, with a bunch of PCs and their ship. There are also Grand Starship, Station, Colony, and City frameworks, and each has a slightly different feel.<br><br>As for Factions, the more Factions there are, the quieter the wars.<br>A two or three faction game and you have clear good guy/bad guy divisions possible, and open conflict is simple and easy.<br>At five or six, anyone trying to go full Palpatine is going to get crushed.&nbsp; Bene Gesserit style, on the other hand, is standard.

				They're two very different questions.<br><br>The first question is "what general sort of game is this? Is it about a bunch of free spirits in a ship, running around and doing stuff? Is it about crew in a larger starship?&nbsp; Or people on a space station of some sort?&nbsp; Maybe folks on a colony somewhere?&nbsp; Or a city?"&nbsp; To borrow touchstones, good examples of these five would be (in order) Firefly, Star Trek (original or next gen), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Earth2, and Caprica.&nbsp; Each has a different feel and a slightly different pace.<br><br>The second question is "how many power players are there"?&nbsp; The fewer the factions, the more blunt the political divide.&nbsp; Star Wars (original trilogy) has, technically, two...maybe three if you include the likes of the Hutts.&nbsp; There's politics, but not much.&nbsp; The lines are pretty clear cut.<br><br>Six factions?&nbsp; Much quieter.&nbsp; More intrigue than open warfare...because the first faction to openly throw weight is going to be the center of attention in a major hurry.<br><br>Faction Information (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bz7zTX6bG0A9VjdfalZEWVlicEk)

				The joys of sleep and having a brain back! I'd like to go with the firefly concept - a small crew on a small ship with lots of trouble just getting by. As a space reporter I'd offer legitimate credentials to get into difficult places- a place hit by big events might be closed off to most space traffic, but a reporter can get in, allowing the crew to pick up passenger, bring in support pliers and trade at extortionist rates!<br>At the same time I'm a reporter and tend to attract other reporters... which is ohhh so bad...<br><br>On factions, I'd like to suggest a smaller trading state/consortium that works through animalistic humanoid species. They offer great medical, having mastered genetics to develop their animal DNA infusions and cloning techniques. People from other cultures often are made to sign long service contracts when joining their employees- just to get their free medical benefits. The company doesn't exactly have slavery - but they do setup indentured service so they kinda do. They just are a little more legal about it.<br><br>They should have a good rep and bring supplies to places in need often- but they are an evil place that uses subtle brainwashing and genetics to promote submissive/happy enslavement amongst their 'staff'. Dealing with these guys is kinda tricky if you want a bargain - and dangerous once you look past that shiny smooth veneer...

				Firefly-esque it is!&nbsp; So your chosen workspaces will go on the ship in one of the four general locations on the ship.<br><br>We're kind of jumping ahead a bit, straight to <em>designing</em> the factions before formally establishing how many there are in the first place.&nbsp; Since you all seem okay with a more complicated, less black-and-white sort of setup, might as well call it:<br><br>Five in all.&nbsp; One faction per player, plus yours truly.&nbsp; I will go last, so as to fill any gaps we've left.<br><br>And speaking of jumping ahead...Kimmy, what you're thinking would fit under a category that's in Far Beyond Humanity: an Alien species that is a Faction into itself.&nbsp; &nbsp;:-)

				I left it vague so you could flesh it out to suit to be honest. It could have been a faction formed from a corporation that managed to run leaps and bounds ahead of the rest in areas. But an alien race fits it - especially if noones really sure what Jose aliens look like I think. They modify genetics so they could appear as anything, relying on their experiments to represent them? So only the rich few know? @shrugs@ odd thoughts to spin if out like...<br><br>My area to add to the ship is stately rooms and a video editing lab for my elite class 3 crew of camera/sound/video editing lads. They can have a cramped space or be robots/Ai hover cameras or whatever suits if you prefer? She is from a high tech world so either or works fine. Her stately rooms would be a luxurious office &amp; lounge. It could be a shuttle craft or part of the main ship, as you like. I'm thinking maybe Indian themeing for style with sheer cloths as decorations, a holo-vid window to make it look beautiful and stay affordable.

				Autocad, mi amigo...you got a Workspace option to provide.<br><br>Soon as we get Zephy up to speed I'll decide on a jump point and then we're off to the races!<br><br>A couple somethings that've come up in the other game, largely because of my fumbling about, is how we should handle the Moves/Skills.&nbsp; Hopefully this will make sense:<br><br>1.&nbsp; Remember that you do not have to end every post with a Move/Skill*, especially if it's a downtime scene when characters are just shootin' the bull or attending to other business.&nbsp; If you want me to prompt you until we're all used to this, I will!&nbsp; In general, though, if you establish a Move happening in your post, it's gonna happen.&nbsp; And if you want to get the mechanical effect, you gotta establish it.&nbsp; If I ask 'how do you do that?', this is what I'm looking for.<br><br>2.&nbsp; If you think you have established a Move, make the roll and post it as spoiler text.&nbsp; I may ask a few questions to make sure we're on the same page, and sometimes I may ask you to hold that roll for later or decide that a different stat or move is in play.<br><br>2a. Combat moves are a bit tricky.&nbsp; You're resolving the entire engagement, not just a few shots or the first swing.&nbsp; So there will be some back and forth for a few posts before final resolution happens.<br><br>3.&nbsp; GM questions in italics will be prompts.&nbsp; I will do this a lot.&nbsp; A lot a lot.&nbsp; This is one way in which you get to exert creative control!<br><br>* The ONE thing about these rules that drives me nuts is that every other PbtA game uses the same term for all Moves.&nbsp; UW uses Skills for what are, basically, playbook Moves.&nbsp; It's confusing.

				I'm. Confused now. What's "establishing a move"? Is that just a way of saying performing a move? For that matter, what moves can we do besides our couple of skills we've picked with our character?<br><br>&lt;- doesn't know this system yet sorry...

				Maybe I'm being too fancy-schmancy.&nbsp; The usual mantra of any rules that use the *World engine is usually summarized thusly:<br><br><strong>To do it, do it.&nbsp; And if you do it, you do it.</strong><br><br>That is, if you narrate your character doing something that triggers the mechanics, they happen. And if you want the mechanics to come into play, you need to make sure you narrate your character doing something that would allow the move to make sense.&nbsp; This is less confusing to do than to describe.&nbsp; Clear as mud?<br><br>You always have access to all the basic moves (Open Fire, Close Assault, Face Adversity, et cetera).

				Yes, you make all new factions.&nbsp; That allows the table to customize the game environment to taste and provides ample buy-in.&nbsp; Got a Military character?&nbsp; Write up the Faction with whom they served.&nbsp; et cetera.&nbsp; That's how I got away with those ridiculous Potterverse VSF folks I keep promising not to inflict on people.&nbsp; :D<br><br>No, the factions are not pre-set (caveat!&nbsp; Sean is working on the Carta Galaxia, which will contain pregen factions in a 'here is how to do this' sort of way).<br><br>Once we decide on factions, then all PCs split three debt and one favor among the Factions (as in 'who do you owe and who have you worked with before') and then decide whether the Ship as a whole is aligned with a faction or independent.
