Punstarr,

> Well, certain powers say in the description that you start with one power stunt. Do you get that one power stunt in this game?

This is more or less covered in our rules for Character Creation, but bears mentioning anyway. I'll use text from the document downloadable in this thread:

"However, in a Point-Buy system, nothing is free. That means that, if you select a
Body Type that normally gives you some type of Bonus (or Penalty), or choose a Power
that ordinarily is accompanied by a Bonus Power…you don’t get those extras for free
(although, if you really want them, you’re free to pay for them, as per normal)."

With your questions coming to the fore (you and Vrykolas2k), I wish we would have specifically mentioned Power Stunts in that part of the document. I'll get with Carlos and update it for future ease.

Also from the same document:

"In other words…the rule of thumb is: You pay for everything. No freebies! "

How many Limitations can I character have?

Just one.

Your free to take more, of course, but only one will return you Character Points for your build.

Cool, thanks.

The other problem is, when I click a link, it just takes me to some TurboHD web-page.

Actually, I did have another question. Are the Realms of Magic books open as well?

I had one question also... I understand the "no bonus powers" but what about resistances etc that are included in the power description?

I.E. Light Manipulation includes Resistance to Light based powers at +1CS

Thanks!

That's odd. It should take you to mediafire.com where you can then download the document for the link you clicked.

You get anything that is an effect of the Power in questions, so in the example you sited, you get the Resistance to Light Based attacks.

> Thanks!

No problem.

Moryssa,

Yes. But let me expound on that a touch using Los' own words. I'm not usually one to plagiarize, but since he knows about it:

"Magic will be handled as per the delineated process that begins on page 61-66 of the Advanced Players Book and concludes with the material in the Realms of Magic Supplement."

Feel free to go wild building your mage!

so when and how will we be finding out if we are selected to be in this particular campaign?

Good question.

After Carlos and I have looked over all the character submissions this weekend, we'll make a decision and e-mail the lucky Players. Everyone else will know the selections have been made by checking this thread for a post on the matter. While we will begin the debate over who to bring in right after Thursday's deadline, it may take us a while, so please be patient.

ok

although my wife says patience isn't one of my strong suits...

i was always horrible around christmas time as a wee bairn...

Vrykolas2k,

Vrykolas,

My computer pops up the media fire page AND an add page each time I click on the site. This is very smoothly done, I thought the add page was the target page too. If this is what is happening to you then the mediafire.com page will be on your display bar. You can reach it their after clicking on the mediafire.com link in this thread.

You should hurry, it would be a shame to miss joining THIS game on account of an inserted add.

TLD, you just hit me with a reply time of about 10 seconds on two posts I sent you. Un-fr!&&!n'-believably amazing, Sir. The hat is off to you.

Well put it back on man, it's too cold over there for that.

Actually I have a special motivation for responding so quickly: Carlos is paying me for my work in Karma points.

And here it thought it was your compassion and good nature

(i hope you know I'm kidding here.. my wife keeps reminding me that what little sense of humour I have is hard to understand at times.)

Chronomancer,

> And here it thought it was your compassion and

That's absurd! I've never been accused of any such thing in my life.

Yeah, sometimes mine is a little tough to get via this form of communication. But hey, for those who don't recognize good old sarcasm when they see it:

Members/Players,

If I have not gotten back to you on a recent e-mail, chances are.... I just did.

Today was a busy one for me, so I was not quite on the ball the way I would usually be.

-5 Karma.

Running Game = Infinite Karma

Actually, GMs gain karma by killing player characters with high Psyche scores first.

er...

heh

Just asking for an email if you're not picked for the game too, or a post here with the names of who did, so we're not left wondering.

Potential Players,

I'm pretty sure I mentioned this already, but in case I flubbed it: Everyone will receive some kind of indication as to the status of their application. Carlos and I will begin reviewing every application this weekend, but making our final choices may take a week or so.

Please be patient, and I will get notice to everyone.

Thank you to all those who submitted a character.

Except for those who just flooded my Inbox in the last hour! You people, I'm not all that happy with....

No, seriously. Thank you for your interest in Carlos' new game.

Submission office now closed.... so stop already.

What do you mean I can't have a image-animating mutant with a collection of DC Comics?

Just kidding...

I can't wait to find out if I'm a player, or a spectator.

Dead Sidekick,

You must certainly can. That's just not what you submitted.

> Just kidding...

Uh huh.

Curiosity killed the.... Sidekick.

Darn. Time to join the Exiles.

So, what was the deadline again? My friend's kinda of frantic since he's not sure, and I'm distressed since I can't tell him if it's too late or not...*laugh*

Damn. I'll tell him to stop making a character. lol...

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to stop by and take the time to thank everyone who's either submitted a character to myself or The Last Duskblade for my soon-to-be-launched game. When I first announced that I was planning to open up the doors to the 009 Universe, I asked TLD if he would represent me on the boards both to coordinate the game launch and be the point of entry for character submissions in order to free me up to continue to work on the game universe's source materials. Obviously, though, in the interim, I've been watching this thread with interest...checking up on you guys and seeing what kinds of questions you'd be asking.

Now, a score-plus of submissions later...I felt the need to stop by in person and let you all know that I've been positively stunned (pleasantly!) and humbled by the amount of interest in my game. Too, after going over the character submissions with TLD, I feel compelled to say that this board has been blessed with an outrageous amount of singularly talented, creative individuals. Some of the submissions we've recieved are making it very difficult to make final decisions on who we're bringing into the game...an indictment of the kind of skill each and every one of you have brought to the table.

TLD and I are still paring down the list, as I write this...but don't worry! We'll be sending all of you notices as to your status with regard to the 009 Universe in short order. Still...with the amount of quality submissions we've recieved, I felt that I simply had to appear and offer each one of you my personal thanks. I'll be endeavoring to bring you the highest-quality gaming experience that I'm capable of offering, in response. Giving what you've shared with me by way of character proposals...I'd definitely say that the ante (as it were) has been upped!

Happy holidays to all of you and your families. And again...spacebo.
