Firefly - Second 'Verse

@Kalleth Looking forward to seeing your CS! Feel free to post here or in PM to Sail and myself.

Land of The Giants

I also vote for now as my experience is similar to Xandrya’s. I am curious tho of other writers were interested/able to write for more than one character.

Over the top Zombie RP

Having distracted the zombies enough to take only one down felt a lot like bad luck. How many Hail Mary's had he prayed in his confession? Hell, when even was his last confession? 'Forgive me Father for I have sinned. I've killed two diseased human monsters and one of them I used hand out soup with on Wednesday nights.' Yeah...

In that moment, before he could face the next lumbering zombie, a woman appeared from a window behind him, clearing out broken glass with her baseball bat. Not only that, but she seemed completely capable, dispatching a crawling biter with a single wicked hit from her bat. When he heard her call, Keller decided her plan was leagues better than facing another two or three zombies in this alley.

Then, as if on queue, the Big Man upstairs needed to keep Isaac in line; inches away from him, some sort of hulking mass of plastic and metal came crashing down, sending pieces flying in all directions. Isaac brought his injured arm up in just enough time to deflect a small amount of debris that came at him. Looking up, he saw a man's head sticking out over the edge of the roof ledge.

Rather than linger on the thought of why someone had tried to kill him, all while he was in the middle of a throng of zombies... The benefit of the doubt would be that maybe he was trying to help? Isaac would go with that for now. After the sound of that huge crash and clatter, he was sure many more hungry mouths would show up in the alley at any moment. Getting to his feet again, Isaac turned toward the woman and made his way in her direction, back through the way she had came.

@Aalakrys I’m so glad to hear you’ll be coming aboard! Take all the time you need for your CS. Except we leave as soon as Badger delivers the goods ;).

@Gunther Thanks for offering up that Discord as an option.

And I’m glad you’re enjoying reading; I know we’re having a lot of fun writing it. I’m particularly a fan of Sail’s Badger impersonation.

If you’re good and ready? Shoot us a PM!

@BenG85 So are we missing two or three in the CS thread? Also, when did you want to pick up RP? After the crash landing?

Firefly - Second 'Verse

Hey all! I figured I'd provide some information that I would have found helpful out of the gate when I started RPing with a group like this.

As you all can probably tell, we have a habit of writing joint posts together, and in order to include everyone on the fun I thought I'd address it explicitly. Joint posts (JP's) are a great way to keep the chemistry rolling from one interaction to the next in order to frame a scene together between two or more writers (yes, we could all do one together!). This typically happens in a shared Google Doc where we can set the stage, add our character's actions, then leave a <Tag> for another writer to jump in for their character. Upon consensus, we can end the scene and one of the writers is cleared to post. It's that easy! Feel free to invite any of your fellow writers or GM's to JP with you.

Another tidbit I'd like to pass on is the wisdom of letting your GM's know any personal character plots you'd like to see brought to fruition. We want to get to know your characters as much as you do, and thus we definitely want to provide room for your characters to grow. Fill Sail or me in on what sort of arc you're thinking, or we'll just blindly lead you through our own personal plots and vendettas! That's a promise.

Sail and I are often chatting on Google Chat (formerly Hangouts), but we'd be willing to change the medium if others wanted to chat in another location. Let us know!

And that's all the wisdom I've been blessed with. Happy Fourth of July!

Over the top Zombie RP

The impact from his fall not only knocked the wind out of him, but the force snapped his shoulder back into its socket. The pain was almost unbearable, but not nearly as painful as the death that was clawing its way toward him if he didn't get up right now. The thought crossed his mind that this would be the end of him, here in this alley. The last thing he would feel was teeth in his abdomen. No, he didn't fight his way through a church full of his closest friends to end up dying here, like this.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for You are with me.

Isaac drew himself up to his full height, the bloodied chain hanging from his white-knuckled hand. It was now or never. Do or die. And Keller planned on living. He cracked his neck, and rotated his newly restored limb. Raising the chain above his head, he readied himself to bludgeon the first zombie on the head before kicking the next one aside.

Firefly - Second 'Verse

Background

For Captain Cal Strand, looks like nothin’ ever goes smooth. Now he’s hightailin’ it to the black with a hold full ‘o’ legit cargo...but that don’t stop them hairs on the back of his neck standin’ up. Of course, he wasn’t countin’ on a crime boss puttin’ him right square ‘tween the Alliance an’ the Browncoat underground, a cranky teenager gettin’ stitches in her butt, or a pilot what gangs up on ‘im with a pithy AI. The China Doll could be that gift horse whose mouth he shoulda checked, dohn mah?

Setting

The year’s 2522. War ended a decade ago. Been 3 years since the Miranda Broadwave riled some folk up, but the Alliance put the boot down on that right quick. It ain’t easy for “naughty men to slip about” these days, but there’s still work as can be had, long’s the price is right an’ you ain’t the curious type.

Our Style

“Firefly – Second ‘Verse” is an episodic PBP game. Character and plot development will be encouraged and written over the course of each episode. Certain adventures will involve “capers,” live action scenes played out in chat by member players. These scenes could vary from crimes to action to something as simple as everyone talking over the galley table.

Lookin' for...

The Captain says the pilot seat is open, and he'd prefer to leave the flyin' to someone what know's more about landing than the deckhand. Passengers, too, but don’t let none of this fence you in. There’s lots of different folk out there. After all...it’s a mighty big ‘verse.

We’re ‘bout to touch down on Osiris, a core planet known for the illusion of safety authority provides and the seedy underbelly that thrives in its blindspots. If you wanna fly with us, send us a wave!

@wanderingwolf - he’s along for the ride...
@sail3695 - he runs the show...

I'm going to move this thread to the Advanced interest checker because it ended up skuing that way.
