OK, let's start ironing out some details here.
Are we all OK with Stars without Number being our game universe? --I am
Looking at the cost of many things, especially a ship that we will need to get off whatever planet we find ourselves, are we going to meet a captain who will hire us, or do I just shut up and shoot things in the face and have faith that the DM has an awesome, bad ass campaign in store for us (the more likely scenario, but I've never played anything in this universe so I don't know what to expect...)
Do you have any lists handy for good items or basic things we are going to need as a group, or certain things that new players typically overlook and end up needing?
Are there character sheets we need to fill out? Where are they (if you have a page number for the manual that would be great, no need to cut and paste/link everything unless you want to...)

I'm fine with Stars Without Number. Expect Sector maps to be pictures, as I cannot find an editable one. I'll probably use Photoshop. After I create a sector, anyway. I was thinking of having a Captain hire you guys or have you start as crew on a ship. Character sheets are on page 252. For basic items I would recommend budgeting for ammo, and any basic necessities you deem necessary. If everyone is in favor of SWN, then I will start creating a sector for us to play in

I should have time to look it over some tonight... Fine with whatever universe, but SWN is new to me so I'll probably be a little slow on the uptake...
Might make my guy have something he's doing on the sly, both for role play and an easy excuse for any absence of me my family or illness may require...

Having the group be part of a starship crew could create an excuse for that then.

I figured SWN was what we were all going for, so I'm cool. Just need some time to get the basic stuff memorized to create a character since I've never played this before.

I like that idea. Perhaps you could play the Captain as an NPC?

I may actually go Space Marine, the thought of using an exo/power suit entices me. If we have two Psys, I'll go military, either Space Marine or Commando, then we should have an Expert of some sort to round out our crew.
Space Marine it is. I'm always a sniper or rogue, and always watch the brawlers and envy the fun they have smashing face.
Character creation begins tomorrow evening for me-- I have a long day ahead, but I'll be thinking about my bruiser.

Hey guys, I found this site with the character forms in PDF that you can fill out with the basic class info already on it. Downloaded one for Warrior and it looks pretty good.

We shall see good En1gma. I should a character ready to go by tomorrow evening. The numbers for stats and every thing are easy, I just like coming up with a suitable background story also. Need to learn a few more basic about the game to flesh him out.

Everyone who is thinking of a background should wait a bit until I have the available homeworlds, as they will color your character's upbringing and personality.
