The sun is shining, the birds are singing, there's a few white fluffy clouds in the sky. I am closing the curtains and going back to bed.

Bio

I live somewhere in the wilds of East London with a couple of friends, a pet rat and a collection of RPG books that is slowly consuming our house. I've suggested possibly getting rid of some of them, but it's pretty much got to the point where the books are the only thing keeping the building upright and if I move any of them the whole thing could come crashing down.

In terms of games - well, I'll consider anything, except that. As can probably be gathered from my posts, I find myself generally playing characters that let me bit a little bit light-hearted. I am reasonably certain that I can play serious characters, but I know that getting to post things which makes me chuckle as I write them keeps me far more engaged.

At the moment, I am currently running a game called Interplanetary Space Friends. It's a game about friends, in space, travelling between planets. It is not exactly a very serious game, and while I've scared off some of my players, I have a dedicated handful left who have stuck with the game. These folks are awesome, and if anyone says anything mean about them, I will defend their honour with a strongly worded message.

@HylozoistI hope you plan on posting this time because if you fall behind, I feel that you will lose inspiration for the game.


I'll try - I've got Sunday basically free to sit down at my desk and write. I've been stuck on my tablet for the last week, which makes writing long posts and formatting them up properly a bit of a challenge (typing in batches of fifteen characters at a time, then having to wait as it freezes up for thirty seconds before helpfully telling me "Chrome is not responding. Do you want to close it?" is about as fun as it sounds).
Meanwhile, Kell's all like, "You know, Res, you should hang around the cockpit more often. I mean it, you match with my sandals."


Let me go and edit my role to be Ship's Cook and The Must Have Fashion Accessory Of The Decade.
So hows everyone doing? really dislike a few of the trolls on this forum. >.<


A little bit strung out by how busy this week has turned out to be, and debating the merits of replacing my (once trusty) ancient tablet and finding some sort of laptop that can handle living in a kitchen. What happened with the trolls?
What if he only takes one arm, one leg, and one eye from each crew member?


"In the name of all the gods, both above and below, what happened to you?"
"The cook found me. I woke up missing the left hand side of my body."
"Credit where credit is due though, the medical bay did a stellar job to keep you alive after that. How do you feel?"
"All right!"

I ought to get some sleep.
What's the replacement plan for when Res makes hot dogs out of half of the crew?


I think it depends on whether Res uses the top half, or the bottom half, of the crew. The replacement plan for the bottom half is fairly straightforward ("Robotic legs for everyone!"), as for the top half, we'll have to get creative.
Dwarf Fortress and Crusader Kings 2.

Finally, a game where you'll spend more time looking at the relevant wiki than actually playing it.
Rarely will anyone find Baebii smiling... save for when she cooing in absolute adoration in the company of the giant grub, Res.


...!

Upon further reading, I would like to add:

!!!
Does that mean they breed even faster? Or is it just louder, with a much of mechanical whirring and wheezing. Because neither of those outcomes sound particularly​ appealing in an enclosed space.


Faster.

Which also probably means louder too.

And in an increasingly more enclosed space, now I start to worry think about it.
20 crew... Of what size? 20 huge spaghetti monsters, or 20 tiny rabbit-cyborgs?


Rabbit cyborgs need a lot of room to roam, plus there's the whole issue of engineering bay space required for performing the maintenance required to keep their robotic parts in good working order. Not to mention the fact that tiny rabbit cyborgs have a tendency to breed like, well, tiny augmented rabbits.
@Hylozoist Hmm personally I feel like Valk has only been around a few months, but his noteriety preceeds him amongst at least part of the crew, and his personality would bring him to the attention of many others.


I could be wrong, but I recall reading that the Nova Dawn was designed to support a crew of less than twenty (I would go back and check this, but my tablet is playing "Chrome is not responding. Do you want to close it?" chicken with me every ninety seconds, which makes trying to go through a thread a needlessly exciting experience), so it'd seem likely to me that if he's been on the ship for a few months, everyone will know him first hand!

Or, in the case of crew members without hands, they're free to substitute "hand" for their appendage of choice.
