Here are the initial guidelines and intro for the E-PBM:
1. Generate you own character (The one individual who asked me to
do his - I shall. Just give us all a few days to get the mail
working.)
One character ONLY! And try to keep inflation down - especially
if its one of your old favorites. If you've got a few really
neat items, I want to know (so the bad guys can be prepared.)
Keep your character handy. I don't really need to know lots of
detail about him/her/it. I do need to know: race, general
career (scout, journalist, demolitions expert, Imperial fleet
tactics officer, etc), and general age and condition (right
forearm prosthetic/cloned, retired old scout curmudgeon, etc)
Have this information ready when we finally get these x-boats
running on schedule :).
2. ALL OF YOU CAN PLAY! Briefing follows:
You have been recruited to perform an
in-depth, in-force reconaissance of an apparently dead ring
world. We need several teams; one for contact, one for
exploration, one for security, one for scientific and historical
analysis, one for transportation. Team leaders and mission
commanders will be selected from the volunteers.
For security reasons, you do not need to know the exact location
of this discovery. Navigators will be given coordinates and
programs when needed. The exact details of the missions still
need to be worked out, but your primary objectives are:
a) materials, processes, and technology
b) historical information about the authors of the structure
c) arms, armor, and weapons of strategic and tactical value
d) medical knowledge
e) other, as assigned
Some of the volunteers on this mission will have psionic
training, and medical teams will be issue psi-enhancing drugs.
psi-screen devices will be available from ship's stores. Let's
try to keep our personal prejudices to ourselves, I'm sure
everyone who volunteers has our best interest at heart.
[REFEREE ASIDE - if you, as a person, like or dislike psi in
play, this seems to be a good time to tell your character to let
it show through. We might get some good infighting going on.
As for whether it works, well I've ref'd it before and all the
players loved it; let's see what happens. At worst we'll just
off the buggers :) ]
