olopi Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Now that I've grabbed your attention with a title that says nothing, let's get to the actual part: http://www.freedomplaybypost.com/topic/9834-see-the-universe-join-the-praetorians/ This was posted a while ago, and Diaspora is the result of that! Now, I'd hesitate to call this an event, I'm personally envisioning it as a series of threads, sometimes running parallel, sometimes individual. But, enough of vague talk about things that aren't entirely decided yet (can you tell just how AMAZING I am at this stuff? )Diaspora: There has been an influx of people arriving in various systems, in a part of space that usually doesn't get any real attention. Communication is not always easy, but it's clear they're fleeing from something. And the systems they are arriving in are not handled to deal with the sudden explosion in population. Now it's up to the Praetorians and various people operating independently to figure out why this is happening, and how to prevent the situation from turning bad! This thread's here as a way to gauge interest, essentially. If you've got a character in space and feel like getting involved, tell me, because threads will happen and having more people around's a good thing! I will also upload various guidebook entires relating to all of this over the next few [Unit of time that seems feasible].
Ari Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 I have a space diplomat and a space speedster, either or both of which would be good for this. Latter's even in the Praetorians.
Ari Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Olopi, suggestion I have is for the group threads to deal with the main issue of the Diaspora Fleet's origins and base purpose, while the solo ones are about the impact it has on Known/fringe space. Of course there's the obvious problem of the solo threads not being as seemingly important as the group, leaving people with relatively little incentive to do any. So as second suggestion, what if you, me, Tiff and any of the other poor fellows trying to make this happen worked out some long-term effects and talked with some of the other players how they'd put a spin on it to be relevant to their PCs? That way we have a little more customization, a little more reason to care and a better story.
Tipop Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 My character, Professor Peculiar, is an experienced dimension-traveler... sort of a magical Doctor Who/Willy Wonka blend. His backstory deals with helping some refugees escape an interdimensional warlord, so if there's a chance Peculiar might hear about these refugees then he would almost certainly get involved. His first fear would be that the warlord had followed him and his refugees to this universe.
Supercape Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 I suspect Starshot is already in this but just giving the affirmation. He is more of a lone wolf (well, nearly) or leader character so I am not sure he would actually slot into the Praetorians. But he would have no issue working with them (...ish).
Heritage Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Is his ship at least for hire? Ditra would need a lift
Supercape Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Not for hire - to people he knows its available. Quantum drives at the ready, Luxury quarters spanking clean.
Tiffany Korta Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 The Praetorians do have a few ships of their own, kept on good working order by Sitara. Though they're not above roping in independent contracts when the situation warrants.
Heritage Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Maybe this is how Ditra joins the Praetorians in the first place? She volunteers her services as a translator and diplomat, and then she meets them, though they may have some knowledge of each other from the Incursion.
Exaccus Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Id be happy to volunteer moon moth and/or dr deoxy (Just visiting!) He is supposed to be kooky silver age high evolutionary type. Edited September 1, 2017 by Exaccus
EviscerusNox Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 Prince Akkar has a ship! He usually deals in the sale of interstellar space junk and other contraband, but he's willing to play Ferry boat for the disenfranchised folk of the universe. Maybe also would enjoy a well paying contract with Praetorians
Avenger Assembled Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Very excited to see this move forward! Let me know if there's anything you need.
TheAbsurdist Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 I shoulda said somethin' earlier. Yes. All the yes. Though, probably just Bliss or Asad.
