Pre-Game character relations will be restricted. Your characters will start out on the Secondary Starport at Trin's Veil.

The era is Classic, the date is 203-1098.

I will attempt to provide a balanced game of diplomacy, merchant ops, combat (space and ground) and intrigue.

I will be using the noble rules and character improvement.

I am for what its worth, ex-military and used to be heavily into weapons, so I am willing to to allow other weapons are available than what is on my combat spread sheet. I had a player ask for a one shot flame-thrower once....

You may, with your starting money (if any) buy anything you want, as long as its in any approved book. If you wish to purchase an item from a on-line resource, let me know the item and site and I will consider it. Items are restriced to TL-A to begin with, but you may buy one major item at TL-F or below. It might be your only chance to buy a TL-F Hand computer. Also if there is an item you want that is not covered in any book, send me a description and I will send you a price.

If during your character generation, you need to decide what tech level you are at, throw 2 8-sided dice and subtract 1.

You will receive a pension and benefits after completing 20 or more years of Federal Imperial service. Also Imperial pensions follow more the US version of Pay and Allowances, I.E. A retired 20 year SGM makes more than a retired 20 year SSG.

Some of the worlds in the Spinward Marches will not follow either the land grab or other published works, but they will fit the UPP from the Classic Era.

I really want this to be a active game, I will attempt to publish a post at least 3 times a week that will move the game forward. I would like you to be able to respond as needed to these posts. At those occasional times when RL interferes, I will not have a problem making your character an NPC, and making your characters decisions for you. If for some reason wish to stop playing, please let me know so I can gently retire your character and come up with a reason for someone to replace you.

I am on the internet fairly often and will attempt to respond to every request as immediately as I can. I will do my best to stay on top of game time.

I will be using both public and private posts, also you might start out with private information that might or might not be useful in the game. I intend to write a paragraph that fits in with your character conception to give you some more info. Also I will introduce you to old friends and enemies along the way.

I am in Eastern Standard time, and if you are in another time zone, I will take that into consideration when posting. But let me know !!

I will restrict my use of handwavium. If I am breaking game rules or anything like that please let me know, I am willing to be negotiated with.

If you are interested in playing, send me an e-mail with the subject line Quest Character, include a short character conception to assure your spot in the game. If we have more than 8 or 9 requests, I will decide randomly, sorry I can't think of another fair way to do it. Once you are told your in, generate your character locally. Send me a generation syopsis and character sheet. Get final approval and tweaking from me and I will invite you to the yahoo group, and we can begin. I will allow lurkers to watch the game and they get first shot on any character that leaves the game.

I would like to begin approx the middle of the week 23-27 Jan, 2006.

Thanks for you interest and I hope its fun for everybody, cause if your not having fun, why do this?
