You mean a broad outline of what you want the character to be? Or do you want more specific stuff as well?

I think he means stuff like personality, basic appearance, build, background, that sort of thing.
Are we allowed 'ethereal' species? (Like...angels...which can be fun to RP...well, Chaotic Evil Fallen Angels anyways...) Other than that I've almost got mine drafted...

You can have weird qualities and abilities that are best modelled as magical/mystical powers, but I'm not going to actually try to explain angels and such. Keep your Treknobabble handy.
I would also like to seriously recommend that you don't try to out-weird one another. The focus is on personality, nobody cares if you can snap your fingers and make dandelions smell like steak. Gatac

Also, can you make a thingy for card games such as Pontoon (or 21, or blackjack, depending on which name you're familiar with), and how about the ability to play Mornington Crescent? I'm sure Pointy and I can cook up some basic rules......

There's already rules for most card games; failing that, there's simple mechanics for the rest of 'em.

Sorry for the radio silence on this.
Okay, events have transpired in the mean time that mean I won't be able to support a Spycraft 2.0 game. Frankly, it's a lot of work to adapt, and while I'm still convinced that it would be a Good Thing to use it, I don't have the moxie to sustain something like that. Now, I'd be willing to run this freeform, ie It Works Like The GM Says. If anyone is still interested, that is. Gatac

Sounds interesting. Would a sub-collective of Borg nerds be out of the question?

Something tells me you people would enjoy Paranoia. Atleast, I can think of no other RPG that would be suited to your particular brand of insanity.

Okay. PHJ, you already have a character. e, I kindly ask you to come up with one.
(Now that we're going statless, don't sweat the details, though. Character and history first.) Gatac

Does this mean we're on a more narrative curve of reality now?

Yes, you've traded in the vagaries of chance for the total tyranny of the GM. Since I know that my players invariably destroy whatever narrative I plan out, I'm going to play this one by ear. Hopefully, we'll all have a bit more fun that way.

We still at "15 Mechanical Flies", was the name?

Exactly.
e, do you think you can come up with something soonish? I'm trying to get this off the ground while it has momentum. If not, okay, I can introduce your character when it's done. Gatac

As I said in the PM rotting in my "waiting to send" box, I'm new to RPG, I'm new to having a signifigant online prescence. I have no idea what is expected of me or where to go. I've never even played D&D, but I have an idea of how it basically works. If you could just get me up to warp, that would be nice.

Oh, darnit. I said I was interested in this, and then totally forgot about it when I got busy!
Well, I'm still interested, and I'll post my character on the board there as soon as it's finished! Sounds like fun!

E, since we're playing statless you don't need to learn any rules. Just come up with a character (a role, if you will) to play and act out how'd he/she behave in the situations I set up.
Fun is mandatory. Gatac

Ah. In that case, I'll get back to you "soon". Er, soon.
