This is a general call for interest in a story about Redshirts, the vallient crew of the McGuffin as they are sent on dangerous and sometimes comical missions. Most of the time to their own peril.
Now before you say, "wow this is a good idea! Where do I sign up!" Or, conversly, "Meh, I don't have time for such sillyness" there are a few rules you should read.
1. As the name implies, these are redshirt characters, the nameless troopers in star treck who's only purpose is to alert the heroes to the dangers around them by DYING FROM IT.
All characters will by deffition be expendable and could suffer death or injury at any time. So it would be wise to bring alts you WILL NOT MIND GETTING KILLED OFF AT RANDOM.
If your character should die do not worry, its the FUTURE so a new alt can be beamed into the game.
Gm or the person ellected to roll the dice will roll a 10 sided dice.
10 -9 Crittical success
8-6 normal success
5-3 normal failure (possibly some injury depending on the situation.)
1-2 critical failure instant KO
Example:
Bob readies his phasar and fires at the space monster!
(Gm) rolls 1.
(Gm post) Alas bob the phasar unsurprisingly does nothing but slightly agrivate the monster and makes it aware of his presence. It lumbers over slowly and swipes at him with his claws.
(Bob would then spoof his alts demise how ever he would imagine bob dying off
then next turn, or when appropriate, he would spoof in his new alt. )
This is just one example of a dice rolling moddle we can use. But i am open to suggestions or party vote
2. Full paragraph rp. This means a post of about 2-3 sentences and please avoid 'action posts' as i think the term is called.
An example of action posting would be *Bob does thing!*
3. The appearence of your alts is only limited by your immagination, baring godzilla sized alts. Aliens, animal people or even humans are welcome.
The app process is such.
Name:
Gender:
Job on the ship:
Description:
4. Please do not bring powers, god-moding, tweaking (knowing ooc info icly) magic, etc etc to the game.
Psy powers MIGHT be possible, i will leave it up to the table to decide as to what capacity.
So, does this sound reasonable? Does this sound interesting? Suggestions are welcome and encouraged
