Revision as of 19:38, 12 September 2007
This page will house all the information for the upcoming campaign in Trinity.
Contents
Start Date
The start date for this game is 11:00 PM (local time) on Saturday, September 15, 2007. We will play for anywhere between four and seven hours. The game will take place at the DM's residence (if you don't know where that is, ask ®ß¥!!).
First night will not be a character generation night. I expect your character to be ready to go when you arrive. The first half-hour or so will be reserved for people getting there late, as well as answering any last-minute questions. I will then be going over gaming procedure, as there will be a few new elements involved in the group's gaming experience. We will then begin the first session.
Players
At this time, the following people are invited to attend this game. This list is not definitive and may change.
In addition, for my convenience, I will list what characters each player is currently considering playing. This does not mean that you are going to be held to the character you've informed me you're thinking about making - it's just so that I have an idea of what the party composition is.
Players - kindly stop changing each others' names.
- Dave-O (Moogle Greasemonkey)
- Hamtaro (Moogle Greasemonkey)
- Smack (Artilect Templar)
- Catface (Human Voidchild)
- Brandon (Ancelari Metamorph)
- Melty (Human Artificer)
- ®ß¥!! (Human (Tsavashi) Bard) Uriah Morodov Male 24
- Nyc (Selkie Assassin)

Waiting List
Given that there is the possibility of losing some players over the course of time, I will be maintaining a waiting list for this game. If you are interested in joining us, please leave a note in the Discussion page attached to this page.
The waiting list is as follows.
- House
- Ali (?)
- Ali's Friend (?)
Game Information
Players may choose their method of character creation: 32 point buy, or standard Trinity rolling method (4d6, reroll 1's, drop 1 die, roll eight - keep seven, arrange in any order). Once the rolling method is chosen, the player will use those stats each time the player decides to switch to rolling method (by which I mean that you cannot roll stats, switch to point buy, then switch back to rolling method to reroll your stats); a player may redistribute ability scores or switch to the other creation method at any point before the game begins.
Rolled stats must be rolled in front of the DM at any time that is convenient. Just make sure that you don't lose the stats!
Ability Scores
Standard Trinity ability scores - standard d20 stats with the addition of Perception - will be used.
Race Selection
Unlike previous Trinity games, this game will have a racial restriction. Race selection is limited to the following races...
Class Selection
Class selection is unrestricted. Any Trinity-accepted classes are allowed.
Level
Characters will be created at 2nd level. That means that you can choose an LA +1 race, and begin at 1st level.
Backstory
Some amount of backstory is appreciated. As this game will not be starting for a good few months, you have plenty of time to figure one out.
Keep your age and race in mind. If you are older than 37 or so, then you are originally from Adnez or Ganymede, and came on the ship to Arcturas; this means that you remember the way things were, and you remember the tyranids. If you are younger than 37, then you were born on Arcturas, and have only heard of the other planets through stories; you have also probably heard of the tyranids, though you may not believe that they're necessarily real.
Regardless of where you were born, you'll need to figure out how you came by your profession. If you're from Andez or Ganymede, then chances are good you had gained some knowledge before leaving the planet, and have essentially taught yourself or gained training from someone else in the community. If you were born on Arcturas, then you probably were taught your skills by one of the gnome akashics (who can tap the world memory and teach you by proxy).
Due note that travel to Arcturas was by spacecraft, which is technological in nature. As such, if you are a member of a magic- or psionic-based class, that you will require an explanation of how you came by those skills. Most of the people on Ganymede (where Arcturas left from) were not versed in the ways of magic or psionics, and as such you'll need to explain why you are. Some classes will require more explanation than others - a sorcerer makes a lot more sense than a wizard (your ability to wield magic was dormant for a good while, for instance). I have no intentions of limiting your class selection, but just make sure that it makes sense.
Character Knowledge
Each character knows something about the world: this information is encountered during training, found while gossiping, or simply inherently known. As such, the sooner you get your backstory written, the sooner you will know what your character knows.
Players who have gotten their character knowledge...
- Orby
- Catface
- Smack
- Melty
About the Game
I will attempt to keep the players as in-the-dark as possible until the game begins; however, this game will add quite a bit of information to the Trinity universe, some of which will need to be up prior to the game to ensure that the players all at least have some idea of what is going on. As such, small updates will be added throughout the wiki on a semi-regular basis over the course of the summer. For my convenience, I shall keep a list here of what has been and is going to be added; this list is by no means comprehensive, and may change over the course of the summer, as additional information may be required or found to be useful.
- Update of General Stellar Cartography
- History of Arcturas and Arcostes
- Arcturan Geography
- Arcturan Calendar
- Arcturan Society
- Arcturan Demographics
- Electrum
