    I like that ship.  It's very Star Wars-y.

     

    And nice one, Agatheron. I have a player who has set aside XP for the Beast Rider spec.

     

    I'm sitting on almost 150 XP waiting for this book and hoping that the Rigger tree (and potentially HotShot as well) doesn't let me down.  I refused to spend anything for the last month and a half until the Ace book comes out.  Is it bad that this is the main thing I want for Christmas?

    Hi!

     

    I made an account just to reply to you as my group sounds very similar, with 7 players and our GM.  I'm not the GM, my husband is, but I can let you know what we do.  

     

    We have 2 players that are really almost always there, and 2 players that are usually there and 3 that rotate.  We use Obsidian portal and the GM allows for out of session actions, conversations and submissions that will potentially grant additional XP and even duty based on effort and outcome.  (Example, voluntary mission reports submitted to the NR can grant extra duty, however adventure logs, wiki pages and character comments can earn people some extra XP.)

     

    We use Duty on a individual basis and it is gained (and lost, if that ever comes to it) on an individual basis.  The GM still assigns it to a chart at the beginning of each session, and rolls for a potential focus, but since we are doing what is likely a VERY VERY modified version of the DarkStryder campaign, he can't change his plans for the adventure and have it focus on whomever Duty triggers for.  So he always states that there is a possibility of a focus based on the character's background in the session.

     

    Since we have a combination of characters that are NR and independents, every time someone triggers at 100 duty, they are awarded a choice of 3 packages, Aurek, Besh and Cresh which have a combination of goods and credits.  A NR person is also awarded a promotion.  Because of the promotion, a independent will receive more valuable upgrade package than a NR member would...due to the expected payout at the end of the campaign...if we survive.

     

    We have gotten through about 17 sessions or so and only 3 people have triggered their duty so far, though I am getting close to triggering a second time.  (I get the impression that our GM is a little more stringent with gear, credits and duty than many others may be.)

     

    So far I think this way is working very well for our group as we can really only usually get together one or two Saturdays a month.
