General OOC

The OOC thread is for showing results of die rolls from the dice roller at https://orokos.com/
When you make a dice roll, copy and paste the results in a new post. After you use it the first time, it will auto-fill some of the details for you. Please be sure to enter a brief reason for the roll. Here is what it looks like when the player (Captain Hoyt) makes a roll for the character (Graham Middleton) in the Silent Sun campaign:
Roller captain_hoyt
Character Graham Middleton
Campaign Silent Sun
Description Program roll to get into starport sytems
Results 2d6+1: 8 [2d6=4, 3]
Orokos.com will have a blank where you fill in the dice you will roll. For a skill check, for 'dice to roll' you will enter 2d6. If you have a +1 bonus, you will put in 2d6+1.
For rolling your character, the syntax is 6#3d6, which will roll 3d6 six times.

As of 10/8/2021, we've decided to use Dice Maiden within Discord, just so we don't need as many tools/windows open.

General syntax: !roll <number of dice><type of dice>+bonus/penalty (if any)
Example roll: hacking attempt for someone with a +1 bonus would look like   !roll 2d6+1

Useful resource -- this is the link to our sector. Mah Delta Sector Our starting point will be in Santell (0500).

When it's time to look at starting equipment, Look at what you might normally get in a Tech Level 4 environment, but apply it to Tech Level 2. For example, the most advanced weapon available would be a primitive revolver. Some useful notes are included below:

Stars Without Number -- Starting on an Early Industrial TL2 World

Character Backgrounds:
Barbarian -- Think of it as a ‘pugilist’, bare-knuckles boxer
Clergy -- Local parson
Noble -- There is no nobility on the starting world, think gentry -- ‘leisure class’
Peasant -- More like a commoner
Pilot -- Operator of all things involving transport -- steam engines, watercraft, etc
Spacer -- On the starting world, spacers are ‘aeronauts’, dealing with balloons and/or experimental aircraft
Technician -- Tinkerers and steam experts

Character Classes:
Expert, Warrior, Adventurer

Foci: Most remain unchanged, but some need special consideration, such as…
Hacker -- Your talent is in locksmithing, and bypassing conventional security measures
Star Captain -- Your knack is in commanding any vehicle requiring a crew
Starfarer -- Your talent is in navigation
Wild Psychic Talent -- Nope

Equipment Packages:
Obviously, no batteries, lasers, etc.
Weaponry is roughly AD 1850 - 1900. Firearms are single-shot breech loaders. Wealthier characters might have something akin to a carbine rifle, where a character of lesser means is more likely to have a squirrel rifle.
There are no specific military-grade weapons, as there is no military.  There are hunting weapons, and experimental playthings that shoot.
