Canyon o' Doom!!! [Deadlands]

[Meliai]

Tucking my nowhere-near-complete character sheet in a spoiler here as I need to restart my laptop and can't be bothered to save it as a text file or anything. Feel free to nab the code if you want, I find character sheets are generally mucheasier to read if they're not in one super long column.

Anywho quick questions in regard to aptitudes. Is the number of points in an aptitude the number of dice you roll for that aptitude, or the number of dice you add to the relevant ability's dice pool? There's a good chance my eyes are just jumping straight over the the explanation in the book but as it stands I can't figure it out.

NUmber of dice you roll.

[BraveEarth]

So I found a rather excellent dice roller online for the system and after testing it to make sure it isn't too favorable on either side I am presenting it.

Also want to know how everyone is coming along with their characters.

[Chazy]

This game still open? Been waaaaay too long since I last played Deadlands. And that was table top too.

[BraveEarth]

Yes this game is still open I'm looking for a few more to join just to be on the safe side. I'll get you a draw in a bit.

[Chazy]

Anymore room for another player???

[1SAZ]

Yes this game is still open I'm looking for a few more to join just to be on the safe side. I'll get you a draw in a bit.

Quoted for ease. Yes, there is room.

[Chazy]

Ty. I guess I missed that post. *thwaps self* Anyways, got my draws. Will look into character creation tonight when I get off work.

[Muse]

*Waves*  Are we still doing this, Brave Earth? I'm really excited.  :)

[BraveEarth]

We are, Andy dropped out and I'm just waiting on character information and hoping that a few more will come join.

[Chazy]

Grrrr  >:(. I can't find my book anywhere. Damn it.

[Sessha]

 I'm considering joining this and if I did I might bring in a Blessed Priest. *runs off cackling to crack open the old Fire and Brimstone book*

[BraveEarth]

>.> How come no one likes the Rangers or the Agency?

[Sessha]

 Because alot of players don't like being tied to one or the other. They like to go where they please in that reguard.

[Chazy]

I need help creating my character. I can't find my book anywhere. *cries*

[Muse]

Yahoo me,  Chaz, I e got your back 

[BraveEarth]

Okay i need all who are still following this thread to raise their hands if they have completed their characters just because a few had their's up half done

[Chazy]

Still looking for my book. But thinking of playing an ex calvery soldier, possibly a captian, that is now a texas ranger *smiles*. I thought about a huxter and just play a gambling gunslinger but since it has been a long time since I played, I figured it be best to just play a mundane gunslinger/ranger.

[BraveEarth]

Chazy please IM me then so I can discuss a few things with you

[Muse]

Still here. 

was my character approved accept for the math errors? 

[BraveEarth]

Yes it was

[Chazy]

I am still here. Finally found my book. Sent the GM my introduction for my character. Working on the details of the background now. Then I need to make some changes to my character before I send him to the GM for approval.

[CarnivalOfTheGoat]

Just back in town after massive familial obligation shenanigans that lasted two weeks. Not a death in the family, no, but two people I might murder at this rate...

Anyway, if you are still interested in doing this, BraveEarth, I'm still interested. I don't know how many people are still around? I will try and dig up the notes I took previously on my character and get it done tomorrow or Tuesday. Probably Tuesday as tomorrow will be catchup day at work.

[BraveEarth]

I'm still around it looks like we have 4 maybe 5 all together which works in our favour ^.^ Sadly given the time of year this might be a slow game. I've been obsessing over the system a great deal atleast. I would like one more but I'm not going to hold up the start for that.

[Meliai]

I'm still interested, just didn't want to pour a couple hours into a character when it looked like we weren't going to get enough PCs to pull it off.

Also of someone could take a look at the crunchy bits of my sheet and let me know if she's going to be slaughtered three posts in that'd be great. Like I mentioned before I've never actually played this game and the system itself is honestly really counter-intuitive.
