Feeling the itch for adventure, excitement, and the promise of a fat payday, friend? Come step on board The Fated Straight, one of the finest vessels ever to ply the winds. Well...she plies the winds, at any rate.

Join us for an episodic adventure story in the tune of Firefly, heists in the vein of a vaguely steam/cattle-punk Shadowrun, and more witty repartee than can possibly be healthy. Our simple dice-pool mechanic system is lightweight, punchy, and doesn't get in the way of all the swash you can buckle.

Got skills that the Floats below have no use for? Struck by terrible wanderlust? Feeling the urge for a change of scenery? Northern Coalition nipping at your heels? The Fated Straight has a bunk ready and waiting.

The Coalition's arm is mighty long, but grace of Merciful Fate, we'll fly just a little bit further. Come fly the unfriendly skies with us.

Looks intersting. Really liked the way you(s) covered and wrote up everything. The style was very entertaining. Even your d6 rules(rolls) are interesting when they are going to be needed. Curious tho, if one is only allowed 8 points for SSSSS then why do the two in the cast have 13. I'm going to ass/u/me that those characters are the two gm's and have allowed thmselves liberties from the get go. Is that the case or is there a way to gain more than 8 pts for 5 stats.

Hi there! To clarify, a typical human starts with +1 in every stat. (Assuming you're not say, blind, or wheelchair bound IC.) So the stats you're looking at are the same +8 everyone gets, on top of the bonus +1 in everything (+5 total), so that everyone gets at least one die to help out their fellow players with shared rolls if/when needed for any challenge.

Thank you for inquiring! :)

Annnnnd.. that is actually not very clear in the character creation thread so we're just gonna go ahead and fix that right now. Doh!

My verbiage was bad and I should feel bad. Revised, rectified, and hopefully a little clearer than bilgewater.

In reply to Raker (msg # 5):

Well that clears up everything :D and I hope the water source on the Fated Straight doesn't come from the bilge ;)

Not as such. State-of-the-art desalinator on board for potable water. Fresh, clean, minimal wigglin' critters.

Any road, got the crew complement all squared away, but the Fated Straight is still looking to take on passengers. If you've got a destination, a hook, or a problem, the crew of the Fated Straight can handle it. Don't much care what it is.

We got a full boat, folks. Thanks for stopping by, and don't be shy to request a walk-on role if you've got a cool hook or the itch to try and muck things up a bit for the little floating nation, the Fated Straight.

Cheers and see you in the world!
