Thats right I'm looking for 9 players interested in a short term game under the following story premesis.

The Captain has been flying a cut rate bucket of bolts that he managed to scrounge up on his military leave pay. It’s far from a cruise liner. Two cramped bunk rooms hold everyone’s hammocks, and the majority of the ships systems are given over to the failing engines and the leaking cargo hold. The next 100 light-year overhaul checkup is slated in at a price that the captain could buy a new ship for; and that’s exactly what he’s’ done. Checking around in the local neighbourhoods, he finds a decent deal on a backwater production facility run colony planet. 20 tons of cargo hold and a four parsec fold drive could put the captain and his crew up a whole bracket in the trade market, making them all another 16k a year.

Of course all sweet deals come with their small print. The ships “owner” cant pilot the ship to bring it to the captain, so he has to go and pick it up, fortunately, the other habitation dome on the planet has a junk dealer willing to pick up the old ship for a decent price, and is willing to foot the bill for some transportation to the construction dome where the new ship is docked.

So off to the edge of sector five the ship and her crew go, eyes glittering with the thought of having a ship board shower, a decent food dispenser and a working cargo lift make everyone just a little giddy. So what if the shitball of a planet they’re heading to has a surplus market on dust and the local entertainment is counting steel o rings; an (almost) new ship is all anyone of the group can really think about.

Okay the fine and ugly details:

This is a SHORT adventure, one time deal. I have premade characters for those players interested. Character details are as follows.

Roget Halmhand

Skills of Note: Ambush tactics, disguise, drug use peripherals recognition, backstabbing, lock picking and weapons (knives, blunts, swords, and thrown weapons)

Further character developement is not particularely required beyond a quick physical description and perhpase a detail of background or two(Homeplanet, girlfriends' pet cats name, illegal planet being grown in bunk, whatever).

Further game details for character abilities are not neccessary, equiptment will be listed under the status heading. The stats points are on an scale of 10, 10 being the best, 1 being the worst; this is a generalization rather than an actual point. Hits are indicative of the characters ability to take a fairly serious wound and survive(Ex. a HITS :1 character gets stabbed with a knife, they die without immediate help; wheras a HITS: 3 character could take that same wounding twice and still fight/move around/whatever)

Combat will be on a move by move basis(single attack action), and will be theatrical rather than dice driven.

The game will be taking place in the Dark Princes Board. Under three headings of "Prelude To dawn: Acts 1 2 and 3" , "P.T.D. OOC" and "P.T.D. Game Status". This game is a prelude/sidestory to a larger campaign story.

If you would like to play in this game please reply here, leave notice of which character you would like to play. This is a first come first serve situation. These character will be open to players for 10 days(until the 25th of december) and remaining characters after that date will be NPCd by myself.Of course once the 9 slots are full no more players will be accepted.

The rules, that nobody ever bothers to read: This game will be run at a high pace, one post per week will be made by me, I will try to maintain as regular a schedual as possible (baring trips to canada and other time contraints). If you engage in a combat, and then fail to post, expect death, if I engage your character in a combat and you fail to post, expect pain. I reserve the right to remove anyone from my game at anytime while this occurance is highly unlikely, you have been warned. I make spelling mistakes, and I wont shit on you for doing so, but I will cheerfully delete a post that obviously makes no sense or has such poor gramatical structure so as to make it incomprehendable.

EDIT: The DPs forum PTD thread has been updated with the charcters current equipment.

Sounds like fun.

I'll throw my hat in for Ruff, the Rough. I've had it in my head to play someone like this, so I think this makes a great opportunity.
