If you want to suggest, go ahead. Though it might do to include that in a new post so people see it. You know, visibility. Just have it be an appendix note.

Reminder that I'm an idiot and still need to update the psionics info and post it on the Rules thread. New Ones, I shall enlighten you with the Path... ahem, I mean, show you the wonders of psionics soon(ish).

Well, make that 13-15 people signed on. This is going to be interesting, for sure.

Just a notice, but I plan to end off the Story of Defiance thread with an XSDF teaser that me and zmby will write later on. Not pressed for time though, if people aren't finished with their outros *cough* Pixy *cough* by the time I leave for my break, we can just write and/or post when I get...

By the way, is anyone planning on playing a Thin Man, Muton, or Baʒir ? Haven't heard of anyone wanting to do that yet.

Nope, they focus in cybernetics, not weapons tech. Pretty much no one has access to plasma tech except the XSDF and EE since they already knew it.

Cross tech doesn't know everything, though. Pretty sure we aren't sharing plasma and fusion weaponry with them.

1. Some of the enemies in the new antagonist faction will be recognizeable, others won't be. But I can say they will have some tech on par with ours, and other tech more advanced to give that proper XCOM vibe. 2. The Einherjar, I'm guessing, will start at the orbital XSDF headquarters above...

By the way, I doubt anyone is going to be playing an XSDF officer right from the start except Zombie. I'm certainly not going to start anyone off that way (and I'm not so sure any of my characters are officer material anyway. :p)

And we're not even gonna start this story until pretty much four weeks from now, or something like that. So we're going to have plenty of time to relax while I'm on my trip. Not going to break tradition, though. Thus far the story has (mostly) been told by the GM(s) playing the antagonists...

There is one person that will be assisting us, but no. I don't like being the tone police here, but I don't want everyone playing the antagonists for several reasons. It disjoints the story by muddling what the enemy's goals are, it confuses things by having everyone playing both sides, and I...

If we end up with something crazy like 35-50 player soldier characters we may need to reevaluate a little. That's the point I'm trying to make.

Well, I'm exhausted and having a bad day. As for me, the only reason me and zmby will have more characters is because we're playing the essential staff and antagonists. Plus, I don't have a job or anything like you and Dahl do.

If you thought it was going to sound aggressive (which it is) why did you say it?

Remember, only make as many characters as you can handle, and don't expect to be able to spend a ton of time with each if you have a lot. Too much pressure on everyone to cram together collaborations is going to make this a nightmare.

To start off, who is planning on playing an XSDF staff member besides me, Frost, and Zombie?

Going to sleep, but... cybernetic limbs are a thing.
