Good idea.  I'll do that.

Hey, TOG!  Glad to have you here.  Nice character, though I think that the significant thing that happened to James might be better as "Lost his hand and now has to wear a prothetic" or something to that effect.

Story Engine is a genericized version of the ruleset for Maelstrom Storytelling.  It uses a pool of d6s and descriptive terms to resolve scenes of character conflict in a narrative fashion.  It was one of the earliest games to try this as its focus, and while other games have gone on to do it "better", I think the Story Engine will serve our purposes.  Other options might have been PTA (too much "TV" theme) or Shock: (too specifically "sci-fi") or something else that either requires too much retooling or too much feedback (which is slow on the forums).

The loss of his hand was a while ago. The point is that he just started to get his life together, and then BAM a zombie apocalypse comes along and ruins all that.

Ok, that'll do.  Now I've just got to come up with a good start.  I'll start a new thread for the game sometime soon.

Hey Old Grump!  Welcome to DnDorks!

I'm happy about your enthusiasm for  trying things, but your character doesn't seem like he'd mesh well.  He's a little over-the-top.  Maybe you'd be willing to tweak him a bit?

While the name "Abe Lincoln" is perfectly viable, it seems to run contrary to the tone of the game.  Maybe something more "normal"?

Your "skills" are also a bit jarring.  Something less "extreme" would be better, but if you're really set on those, they'll be fine.

We'll be starting soon.

Again, welcome.

Just wanted to mention that I won't be around August 1-9. I'll be flying planes. No, not as a passenger. I will actually be flying them. As a co-pilot.

Cool, I may be flying to BC at some point, but I don't have dates yet.
