Ahead of this event, I am going to award Eric and Jake Adventure Points for Thier involvement in the First Chapter of the game.

Both Jake and Eric will be awarded Three (3) Adventure Points plus your Learn Score equal in Skill Points.

You can use these pints to buy new skill, improve existing skill, improving attributes or you can bank them.

I will be posting up the rules governing how to spend these points today. Feel free to contact me via text or kik if you have questions.

For the moment, all dice rolls are Optional. However once the party reached planet side, the dice roller will be required to perform skill checks.

In the mean time, please take this time to get used to using the dice roller. To forward this, I will be awarding one Skill Point for each time a player attempts a skill check using the dice roller.

During the next few days, you will see posts governing skills. Topics will include but not limited to using them, raising them and getting new ones.

Also in the near future Jake, Thorchan, and Eric will be awarded Adventure Points and Skill Points for Chapter One.

Lastly, you will see that I posted a thread in the NPC Forum for Alice Underwood. She is a NPC within the our game. You will noticed that I left out details about her background. I did this so that the players can engage with the character and learn about her past. As a character engages the NPC, details will be uncovered about who she is. The player can update the NPC thread for Alice. Once these details are updated, I will award that player Skill Points for the effort.

For the time being, I am running this test on Alice only. However I plan on introducing a number of other NPC's that the players can engage with and learn about who they are. So feel free to search out NPC's and engage in conversations with them. You never know what you will learn.]]> our new dice roller.

I would like anyone to ask any question you can think about that would help any new player checking out the game.

To get things started, I am including a few questions of my own.

Q: What kind of game is this?

A: MechWarrior: Dark Tide is a play by post game where you run the lead characters of the game. In this game, your character will be tested on many levels. Please understand that this is story based game. It is not enough to just post, but to create story. Explore the world, ask questions and speak with NPC's. Think of this like your typical FallOut or Oblivion where you can speak with anyone. You never know what little piece of information you might gain from just interacting with the world and those within it.

Q: What rule set are you using for this game?

A: This game is run under the old FASA 2nd Edition Mechwarrior rule set.

Q: I don't know what kind of Character I want to play. Can I still take part in the game?

A: Yes you can still play without a Character created. All you need is a basic concept (gender, name and general origins) to start posting in the game. However you must have Narrator permission to begin this way.

Q: Do I need any books to take part in this game?

A: No, you don't need to have any books to run in this game. I have all the books we need for this game. Also, I use the site BattleTech Wiki by Sarna for general cannon information. There are players within the game that have plenty of books also.

Q: What are the posting requirements for this game?

A: The posting rules of this game are pretty simple. Each player is required to make a post once a week. The last posting day for the week is Sunday. If you are in the middle of dialog with another player character or NPC, please be respectful and match their posting. If you need to take a break from the game for whatever reason, please let the Narrator know.

Q: Can I play any character?

A: While I don't have any requirements on characters or MOS (your class), the party leader Xangpow does have a say in what classes are coming in to the group. Normally I would encourage that you speak with him about your character concept. However if you want to keep some secrets about your character, then speak with the Narrator first.

Q: Can I play a Bad Guy or Villain?

A: No villain or bad guy characters will be allowed in this game. I don't mind your Han Solo style lone wolf character but this is a good campaign. However you can speak with the Narrator regarding your concept. It is possible that some middle ground can be worked out.
