What's up? Are you > all too busy writing entries for the Archipelago contest??? ; ) Yes, actually... In terms of slang, my recent Nomad-based mercenary campaign (which I will tell you guys about in time...) ended up with significant usage of various derogatory terms for cat hybrids (who were rival mercs), and one player also came up with a new term, "Professional Casualty" to refer to cheap, expendable mercs like himself.

The slang refers to anything humans do that cetaceans think is silly or stupid. Sometimes used in good humor and sometimes derogatory.

As I looked around on your site, I found the character sheets and I must applaude you for sharing those with us, as I now don't have to design my own just so that I can use my printer. However, when I sat down today making a character to try out the system, I realized one more thing that would be very handy. Your character design sheet is very good, but the problem is that when four or five players want to design characters at the same time, it becomes evident that I have only got one book, as all of them has to look at different chapters at the same time. This problem is most prominent when chosing the different origins, backgrounds and profession. My question is therefor, would it be possible with a PDF files summarizing the different origins, backgrounds and profession (the attributes and skills only, of course). This pdf file could be made available on this list or on the protected part of your website if you are not comfortable with publishing it openly. /Jens *************************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@mpgn.com with the line 'unsubscribe blue_planet' as the body of the message.
