Character book?
by Blood axe » Sat Aug 13, 2011 3:43 pm
I had an idea. Would could get members to submit characters they have rolled up. Once we have enough, make a character book, as an online thing here at the SOE section that members could print out. Maybe some character sketches in those little boxes by the great Mutant Lord. I have at least a dozen characters now that I rolled up to "test" the system.
It could be a great help to those trying out the game. We could even create characters based on the NPC pics you have already provided and just link the stats to the pic!

You might want to limit the amount of characters. Each of my players have rolled almost a dozen characters each. They like the random character generation system that much!

I figured a few different characters of each type would be good. If it’s a free online kinda thing- no real need to limit- the more the merrier! I’m just not so hot at the character sketches, lol.

Hey, that's a good idea. Maybe a new forum section instead of a web page so that it is fully player and GM usable instead of having to go through html page uploads.
I have some more characters I'd like to upload, too.
We are just about ready to release the first issue of Excavator Monthly either tomorrow night or the next day, and after that I'll be adding a few new forums sections and trying to get avatars to work, finally!
I look forward to seeing what people have rolled up.

Well- there are 28 sets of character portraits, each with 9 characters, so thats 252 potential characters. Pics are from the shoulders/chest up- so mutations like tails, pincer arms- even cyborg parts- could be added to the character easily. They juts arent shown.
I’m gonna work on a few myself.
-----------------
I’m glad to hear about the magazine- can you get a subscription? Or do I just buy from LULU or where ever? Id like in print if possible- but it would be nice to get a PDF along with the physical copy.
I'll be checking on availability- I wanna be the 1st to get it!
Throw out a link & I’ll buy it ASAP.
