I've just posted a couple of files for a GURPS Andromeda game a friend
of mine is starting - please let me know if anything's missing/just
plain wrong.

Ta.

I found this url surfing, http://blogs.ardice.com
But can someone explain to me what a blog is?   -   Mervyn224b

Hello, I found this group at this website.

Was wondering what system you're using and whether there's any
openings.
Cheers, C.

Pretty much just joined the group and was wondering if there were any
spaces laft in your rpg.
Out of curiosity what rules are there if there is a space?
Cheers, C.

In case you're planning on continuing I'd like to join in, was
wondering on the character of Ryan the avatar of the Clarion's Call
currently a Nightsider night club and although he's sup[posed to be
the avatar of another ship having him as shipless might make a good
character for your alternate camapign.
Cheers, C.

me too.  I was just wondering if it was still going
on.

New Messege:  "I can certinly try." Liandra got up but
her leg buckled under her weight.  "I got this far, I
will follow you.  Just lead the way."  She got up
again and stood there waiting for Dylan.

(OOC  I don't know what happened to Leinad, so I'm going to assume
they got seperated in another bulkhead collapse.  )

Talania staggered down the corridor, trying every computer panel she
found as she went.  It was obvious the internal communications were
shot to hell, and that the ship was badly damaged.  The cyborg had
become seperated from her when he'd stepped into another side corridor
only to have the ceiling bulkhead collapse down between them.  He'd
managed to shout some rough directions through to her, so now she was
trying to find her way to command on her own.

So far she had found no other survivors, and the AI was offline.
Finally she came to the intersection where the cyborg had told her she
needed to clime to the next deck.  She looked up the ladder and shook
her head.  The damage to her back was extreme, she knew that.  She
wasn't sure she'd be able to climb narrow ladder, but she would
certainly try.  She had forced her body to do much worst when survival
was on the line.  Using mostly her arms, she began to ascend.


> Talania cursed inventively, mostly about Dragon ancestry and
inbreeding, but accepted the hand up.  She knew survival at this point
meant working with anyone still alive on this ship, and survival was
what had always driven her actions.  "Fine" she ground out.  "Lead the
way."  She slowly straightened up, ignoring the fire burning along the
nerves of her back and legs.  If she lived, she'd worry about the
damage then.  But seeking help now would do no good if they couldn't
escape.  Unlike most of her species, she had no problem with running,
if it kept her alive.

Dylan managed to catch Liandra before she fell.  Setting her down
gently he reached up to a wall panel and retrieved an amergency
medical kit.  Setting it to automatic it released some nanites to
tend to teh worst of her wounds.  We have no sensors, nothing, I have

looked back at Liandra "Are you able to follow?"

bleeding from  somewhere.  He was worried about teh

----------------------------

The fury's auto repair systrems were running well now but teh damage
was extensive.  He was still, to all purposes blind, deaf and
crippled but he coudl feel some of teh damage more acutely.  he sat
and waited.

OOC:  As I mentioned, we have decided to move the welcome message, so
here it is:

Welcome to this first season Andromeda Ascendant role playing game!
The only main characters from the show that have been claimed and
transferred to the alternate universe with us are Dylan,
Andromeda/Rommie, and Trance. Please note that this RPG has switched
to an alternate universe where all the main chars (except Dylan and
Andromeda/Rommie) are available -- but the only thing that needs to be
similar about them is their basic appearance (meaning you can change
their personalities to whatever you wish).

You can use the alternate of one of the TV show's main characters, use
a character that has guest starred, use a character that you've made
up, have more than one character, make up a new race, import a race
from another story, have your own small ship, or just about anything
else you can think of -- because, let's face it, this new universe
we've found ourselves in has the potential to be quite different from
the universe we're used to!

We would appreciate it if all Members would play their characters at
least once a week (unless that char isn't in the middle of a
storyline); if you fail to do so and action grinds to a halt because
of it, one of the Mods will assume your char until you notify us that
you have returned. We hate to be hard-nosed, but we've seen too many
RPGs die out because the main characters are not doing anything. Also,
it really bugs us when people join merely to inform us of new shows,
movies, Groups, or just to upload some files. Therefore, we have
adjusted the Group Settings so that new Members are Moderated.

The Comm Center (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hga_ooc) is a Group for
OOC planning and discussion. Please join! We'd love to have your input!

If you're new here, please read this
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/highguardsandromeda/message/871) and
this (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/highguardsandromeda/message/876).

OOC:  Wow.  I've been gone ... a VERY long time ... and I'd like to
appologize for that.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to come back very soon.  What that means
is that I'm going to try to find the time every day to read a little
bit until I'm caught up on what's been going on here and at the Comm
Center while I've been absent.  Please keep in mind, however, that I'm
away at college and my internet access through said college's network
is down.  So it might take me a little bit longer than I'd like....

Anyhoo, I'd just like to thank Dan for covering for me while I was AWOL.

And he asked me to move the welcome message from the front screen, so
I'll just post it in the next message.

Old Messege:
      Liandra was in the communications  bay trying to
fix it when the battle started.  The tossing at each
torpedo blast knocked her off her knees and onto the
deck.  She tried to call the bridge to see what was
going on but all she got was static.  the internal com
system is down, she thought.  she lifted her hand to
her head.  Blood was what she saw.  Liandra couldnt
move at all.  She would have to wait for someone to
find her.
NEW MESSEGE: (OOC: This is an addition to the last
messege I sent.)  Two hours later, Liandra  got
herself out of the communications bay and started to
walk towards the bridge.  She felt a pain rushing
through her body, but she kept going hoping that she
would run into someone and soon.

The fury knew he was critically damaged.  He was drifting, blind
defenceless paralyzed.  He knew he had been hit by a massive blast
after he was left for dead but beyond that he was unsure.  He was
amazed he was still operatingf at all, he couldn't feel his power
core or backups but he was still operational.  He managed to activate
some of his damage control systems.  in a distant part of his memory
he knew he'd doe something liek this before, repaired himself from a
devestated hulk but he couldn't remember.

[{OUTSIDE}]
The Attack had taken it's toal on the dragon ship and as the
Andromeda limped away to get out of the blast it went off buffeting
the dammaged Highguard Ship.

Talania had stopped fighting the cyborg, knowing that in her present
condition it would only prove fruitless.  They had almost made it to the
medical deck when she felt the first impact shudder through the decking
under her feet.  "Forget medical treatment.  I need to get to my ship!"
  She touched the comm switch under her right ear.  "'Venge, do you read
me?"  She waited a few terse seconds before a return signal cut through
to her.

"I am still here.  The hanger deck is seriously damaged, but my scans
indicate that it still contains a survivable atmosphere, and it might
still be possible to operate the external doors.  What should I do,
Talania.  I'm reading massive energy discharges."

At this point she lost 'Venge's signal and cursed.  Leinad was surprised
by the inventiveness of what he heard, especially the ones concerning
Drago geneology.  Finally, though, after numerous impacts and
explosions, including having an emergency bulkhead slam closed behind
them to seal off a breach, the ship was still around them.  Talania
painfully began to pull herself off the floor from where they'd been
thrown, when the shuddered in what felt like a death roll.

The lights went out, and only the glow from a few small electrical fires
lit the hallway, castin deep shadows around the broken bulkheads and
debris.  "'Venge!  Answer me!"  she called in near desperation.  "I will
not die on this ship because of Dragons!" she swore to herself and
forced herself to her unsteady feet.  "Venge!"

She was rewarded, she hoped, but a faint crackle on the otherwise silent
comm channel.


[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Finally having enough of her protest he scolded her
"Listen"he growled
"once you are back on your feet and not hurt anymore
i wont Put my
hands on you but until then this is the easiest way to
get you
medical treatment no shut up and stay still or i will
knock you out
and throw you over my shoulder like a laundry sack
understand" . then he
continued to head towards medical as Talania spoke
softly but did not
protest further on the trip, Thinking to himself Leinad
almost missed
the sudden change in the ships movement "Its started"
he simply stated
and Talania knew just what he meant.
([OUT IN SPACE])
The battle was over before it began as the task force
let loose with all
of their weapons at once the incoming deluge of missiles
and laser fire was more than the 2 Highguard ships were
able to defend against. As both ships were repeatedly
hulled and blasted the onboard systems suffered catastrophic
failures using there last bit of mobility the ships let
loose at point blank range destroying most of the attackers
as the last barrage split the Xendra into pieces and blasts
holes so big in the fury that whole ships could  fly thru
leaving only the Starship Andromeda and the Nietzchien
command ship functioning as the other ship turned to get
a better angle on the Andromeda it opened itself up for
an attack.
([Inside the Andromeda])
Andromeda appeared in front of Dylan.  "the Fury has taken
heavy damage.  Dylan, the last barrage of  Nietzchien missiles
knocked out some of  my weapons control and helm control.  we
are dead in space."  Andromeda turned to the tactical display.
"sir, the  Nietzchien  command ship is turning towards us."
Andromeda awaited a response.
([Out in space])
As the Nietzchien Starship turned to get a better angle on the
Andromeda the drifting pattern brought Andromeda weapons on target
with the Nietzchien's exposed flank a sudden volley of missiles from
the Andromeda impacted the command ship exposing most of the ship to
the vacuum of space. As the Nietzchien
commander surveyed his ship he concluded that he could not continue
but vowing to take the Highguard scum with him to the afterlife.
([Inside])
Leinad wondered just what was happening outside the Andromeda did not
seem like it was moving or fighting and that worried him "Andromeda
This is Leinad please report your status" .
([inside the Nietzchien's ship])
knowing this was an honorable way to die comforted the captain
killing a foe even in death would increase the standing of his clans
he finished setting the self dustruct "you will not evade me in the
next too minutes Highguard good bye."
([On the bridge of Andromeda ])
sparks shot out of the control panel where Dylan was standing moments
before it exploded knocking him out cold as the last volley of
missiles left the Andromeda impacting on the Nietzchien ship
distorting its jammer system allowing the Andromeda to pick up on the
Self destruct system.
Moving the Ship proved difficult as most of the systems were damaged
but slowly the Andromeda started to put distance between them and the
Nietzchien ship.
({Out in space])
The Nietzchien's self dustruct system blew causing massive Shockwave
that buffeted the damaged Andromeda further as powerful explosion
wiped thru the space where Andromeda had just Ben causing even more
damage to the crippled ship.
