Flashpoint Cantina (OOC)

Awesome duder.  Can't wait to play.  The expansions in 2.0 are pretty cool

If you get a chance to create a 2.0 Child Board by this weekend that'd be sweet, I anticipate some writing time!

[SWSF Hale]

I was going to set up a new board called "Flashpoint: Chapter 1" or something generic like that, but I thought it might be more appropriate to give the campaign a legit name.

One thought is we use a "point" motif.

So, first campaign is "Point of Origin" or "Point of Departure" or "Point of Demarcation" or something like that.

[SWSF Eidolon]

Chapter 1, 2 etc implies story continuity to me.  Not only from 1 campaign to the next but down the road is that always going to be an option?

Plus if there was a Flashpoint before now, what is that if this is Chapter 1?



If in calling this Chapter 1, you want to catalog/archive all this 1.0 stuff it doesn't matter to me thats cool to clear the way and consider this new set and launch the more formal birth so to speak.  I would just call this all 1.0 and give a folder and keep under SWA | Flashpoint and the new launch 2.0 though if it were my baby but ultimately it doesn't matter a ton to me and your call duder




Ultimately, I vote for the first campaign to be a Triple Crown though.  If so I personally prefer something that names it like a competition/trophy list so we can maybe add it to peoples avatar quote area like little badges almost.  Instead of something like a string of intertwined Book Titles as it were.


Flashpoint: 1st Orbital Triple Crown

Flashpoint: 1st Intermittent Triple Crown

Flashpoint: 1st Semi-Annual Triple Crown


By the time we get to the 4th Semi-Annual Triple Crown, it will be kinda cool and start to even become part of the psychological drive.  10th Semi-Annual Triple crown hosers.  Be there or be square.

Ooo

you could adopt a naming system that recognizes the game-type category in a vague frame of time reference specific thing..

i.e. so my sig would be like..

FP 1st Occassional Triple Crown Champion
FP 2nd Occassional Triple Crown Champion

FP 1st Semi-Annual Royal Flush Champion
FP 2nd Semi-Annual Royal Flush Champion
FP 3rd Semi-Annual Royal Flush Champion

FP 1st Sporadic Kill The King Champion
FP 2nd Sporadic Kill The King Champion



Fun Eidolon fact, I once won a 3rd place trophy showing a horse my cousins owned.  Alright, it was a pony.  Still 3rd place though ;p



Each one would be its own Folder under the Flashpoint 2.0 Child Board in my ideal organization anyways


SWA | Flashpoint Parent Board

Flashpoint 1.0 Child Board
  All these threads here

Flashpoint 2.0 Child Board
  1st Occasional Triple Crown Folder
  2nd Occasional Triple Crown Folder
  1st Semi-Annual Kill The King Folder
  1st Intermittent Royal Flush Folder
  3rd Occasional Triple Crown Folder


  etc

However bottom line being any board with distinction will do!

[SWSF Hoppus]

Cool ideas, i dig badge-able names

[SWSF Hoppus]

Apologies if I've been a bit quiet lately, a lot moving in the work and family life but I am still 100% into this.

I've been working on some of the character and settings I'd like to use for the NR. I will try to post some story in the next 7-14 days!

[SWSF Eidolon]

I would have a post up but didn't want to start new material in an old space

[SWSF Hoppus]

I think I have to face the reality that I am not going to have the time to put into gaming with any sort of regularity at all. I'm still overloaded with work and my weekends are consumed by family responsibilities if not more work. I think the only sort of gaming I could really manage is either just story back-and-forths or something akin to live tabletop gaming, where we'd say "for four hours on Saturday the 9th of Whatever, we're going to host a session/battle/game and be very active for that full four hours and get to the end of a battle sequence).

I am bummed and keep wanting to make a go of it. But it ain't going to happen and I don't want y'all to be depending on me/waiting on me.

Eid, I would still be down to jump into the SL idea we had, if you don't mind that it will take me awhile to get any sort of regular cadence... my hope is once I manage to get started, that it will be easier to stay moving...

[SWSF Hale]

Honesty is the best policy. I've been updating units when free time and motivation hits, which is not as often as I'd like. I'm eager to give this game a go over the summer, and continue SL'ing in the meantime.

[SWSF Eidolon]

I got one post to cap the little story arc going at Carida with the characters there.  After I get it up I'm going to start a diff little writing thread in Wild Space section.  The frame and direction will be fairly obvious.  Feel free to join in if you're interested, goes for everyone.  Actually I will probably get to that first this week or weekend.


I'll play/write more of this when game is ready if anyone else is at that time.

Ok so i need some input peeps. Or more a vote of which you'd prefer to play against. Im stuck on 2 ideas for a character.

Choice 1> a dirty as hell planetary controller, whatever the rank is from the trade fed using mercs and pirates to do dirty shit.

Choice 2> A Bel Iblis like rebel commander. Done and done again i know but tried and true and fills the rebel hole if necessary.

[SWSF Eidolon]

I'm using Veers to make it simple and easy.  The other writing bit is just tie in.

Go with whatever makes it smoothest/most interesting for you tho

[SWSF Hoppus]

I miss you all and I miss simming

[Ramano]

But i never left... lol
