Pause 1

Hey folks,
                 I just had to take a quick pause, in order to print out the Nordic Weasel complete supplement of 5 Parsecs From Home (91 glorious pages), then stuff them into Poly Pockets, so they stay nice and clean.
         I have an idea of what I think should occur, in the next scene, but that said, I've still got the quest/job scenario to go through. They may not go as expected. More rolling to do before that happens.
                    I had gotten in a few supplies, paper, base card, glue, Blue tac, and poly pockets. Got to get some more ink though. Been looking at a few sites out there, some very good artists and modellers. If you know of good sites, please add them to the comments, please.
                     I'm just wondering how to do the next scene with absolutely no props at all. I thought about using Blender Rendering software, or a free mapper. I have tried battle chronicler, which may have uses but did not gell for me. I think crude comic style may have to do.
                      In the end, I converted a poly shape into a warehouse, so it all ended well. As you can see if you follow the links to Job 1.

5P - Character - Reginald "Pinky" Farnsworth

Here are his stats.

Origin - He grew up on a military base on Gefan. His mom was a mechanic in the motor pool. His father was away a lot, in the transport section, shipping supplies to where they were needed, but there was lots of support from the other soldiers families. Since he likes traveling, he became a tour guide, but when the market flopped he lost his business, so he went back to what he knew best, the army. Now he is back on the street again.

Motivation - Originally, to be the best. Now, to do what needs doing.

Class - Soldier,

 Military Service - Trained with the 2035th Regiment. Private.
Boot Camp - Camp Robson, planet Pinto.
Zero G - Station Fort Worth, orbiting  planet Pinto.
Low G - Camp Fortitude, on Pinto's moon Pegasus.

Active Duty - Mastrecct Campaign - (wounded - left little finger shot off, replaced by prosthetic one).
                               - Resupply Station Raleigh, orbiting Faraday.
                               - Science Outpost Tesla, orbiting Doppleganger.

Decorated - Army Star and Bar (Mastrecct.)

Discharge - Medical. (Now exempt from call up.)

Special Circumstances - Slightly Unhinged.
If the Event roll =6 he will move 1d6 " in a random direction, but can act normally.

Kit - Uniform, Auto Rifle, Hunting Rifle and Stim Pack.


The details will change according to how the campaign evolves.

5P - Ship Log 2 - A Guest Arrives

Hi Everybody,

                     The next installment of the Five Parsecs from home RPG / Wargame.

It begins as Melody, the Ship Computer, alerts them to an incoming call, for Lucy.

Lucy, "I'll take it here, Melody."

On the table n front of Lucy, a two foot tall hologram shimmers into being, showing the HoloVid Logo, a H V with a Lightning bolt joining the two letters. After three seconds it then becomes the head and shoulders of a well built man, wearing a green t-shirt, with Army written on it.

"Hi Lucy, I said I would look you up when I got out."

"Pinky !! How are you ?", she yells in delight, "Where are you ?"

"I'm doing just fine, I just set down at the spaceport, I've just booked in to the Veteran's Motel."

"Well, come on over here. We are parked in bay 61."

"Thanks, I'll do that. See you soon. Out."

The image dissolves into static and was gone.

 She looked at the others, "As you can gather, we are old friends."

A short time later, Pinky arrives. Lucy meets him at the passenger lock and escorts him up to the lounge.

"Everybody, this is Pinky."

He gives a slight bow, "Reginald Farnsworth, at your service. Everyone calls me Pinky on account of this."

He holds up his left hand to show his robotic little finger. "It got shot off in the troubles on Mastrecct, and Lucy patched me up."

"He was my very first patient and we have always kept in touch, even after he was pronounced fit for duty and shipped back to his Regiment and the rest of his time in the army. Sit down, sit down."

She pointed at the large sofa.

"Now, I'm discharged, I thought I would meet up with my old Flo Nightingale again. It seems like you have done well to find such a nice bunch of people to work and play with. I still have your vids stored."

The group greet him warmly.

Captain Martin gets up and shakes his hand, sizing him up as he does so. "It seems you have perfect timing Mr. Farnsworth, or may I call you Pinky ?"

He smiles, "Please do."

The Captain continues, "We have just been discussing a business deal, it all looks above board, but it always helps to have a little extra muscle about. Its even better when you know their background and I would imagine Lucy would give you a glowing recommendation."

Lucy nods, "I certainly would, Captain."

"The fee is usually 2.5% of the profits, but since you are a pal of Lucy's, I'll call it 3%."

Pinky replied, "Always glad to help a pal, even better when I get paid to. I'm in."

"Great, lets get you a drink and you can get to know everybody. We can have your stuff transferred over here, save you paying hotel bills."

Dave starts chatting about war stories, then they start explaining the job and chatting in general......
