The Equinox is a small merchant vessel which crashed on the unknown planet.  Details about the ship will be added here over time.
 
 
# '''Command Deck''': This is where the bridge is located and a few other operations-related rooms which support the running of the ship.  This deck was off limits to non-crew.
 
# '''Crew Deck''': This deck is where the crew had their private quarters and a few supporting facilities.  This desk was off limits to non-crew.
 
# '''Entertainment Deck (E-Deck)''': This deck contains the mess hall, several entertainment facilities and activities centers for passengers to make use of on the voyage.  This deck was open to everybody on the ship.
 
# '''Passenger Deck''': This deck contains private rooms for all guests.  There are a variety of sizes and configurations, most rooms are decent size with basic lodgings.  Each room is protected by a security panel on the doorways which reads handprints.
 
# '''Cargo Deck''': This deck contains a large number of cargo bays for hauling various cargo.  During flight this deck is generally off-limits to non-crew, however if you had to get something from storage you could get an escort from a crew member down to your assigned storage unit to retrieve items.  When the ship lands each cargo bay can open externally with loading ramp.
 
# '''Engineering Deck''': This deck contains the reactor, propulsion systems, and other vital systems that keep the ship running.  It is strictly off limits to non-crew.

== Dice Rolling ==
 
 
 
Huge thanks to Pandorym, I wasn't having much luck getting this to work but now this is workable!
 
 
 
Every dice roll is to be done on Orokos using the campaign name "Savage Worlds Lost in the Depths".  This allows us to see all dice rolls for the campaign in one spot.  Here is a brief guide on how to do the dice rolling.
 
 
 
# Get an account with Orokos.com (don't worry, it's free)
 
# Click on '''Dice Roller''', then '''Roll Some Dice'''
 
# Fill in the fields as listed below:<br /><br />'''Character Name''': Your character's name<br /><br />'''Campaign Name''': Savage Worlds Lost in the Depths<br /><br />'''Description''': Right a brief description of what you are rolling (i.e. Fighting attack vs giant octopus)<br /><br />'''Dice to Roll''': Assuming you are rolling a d8 test, you would put 1d8o8; 1d6o6    This tells Orokos to roll 2 dice (a d8 and a d6) and if you get the highest result on the die then roll another die and add it to the score.<br /><br />
 
# Copy/paste the results into a SBLOCK on your IC post.
 
 
 
If your dice roll doesn't appear on the campaign page on Orokos it doesn't count.  No exceptions.
 
 
 
If you want to do some test rolls go ahead, just put "Testing" in the character name field so we know it's a test die roll (or enter a different campaign name on the dice testing rolls).
 
 
 
You can see all dice that have been rolled for the campaign here:  '''[http://orokos.com/roll/c-Savage+Worlds+Lost+in+the+Depths Dice Rolls]'''
 
 
 
Example roll: I want to punch the giant octopus, my Fighting skill is d8 so I am going to roll 1d8 (skill) and 1d6 (wild die) against a target number 4.

I got a 4 and a 5, both dice succeed.  However you can only count one result which is always the highest, so I got a 5 on the attack roll which is a success:

I'd then click the little bbcode link below the roll results which gives me the code I can copy/paste into my post:
