Happy to continue any of the Nova 3 conversations here

I just want to go on record and say thank you.

We appreciate being able to play with the sandbox you've given

Appreciate that @[PF] CorCordale!

I forgot to mention, but there is also a demo site that's updated semi-regularly with the work that I've been doing on Nova 3.

https://nova3.anodyne-productions.com/

Ooooo, might need to check that out. Thank you again.

I'm sorry I wasn't in the other discussion, I was attending the ST Trivia panel but I do have a quick question as a NON-GM at this time... Will there be a way for NPC creations to be automatically linked to the user creating them, or will it still be up to the site admin and other authorized users to link them manually to the proper player?

@Mikey- Rozia When a GM creates any character, they can specify the users who should be assigned to that character. There's currently no mechanism for standard players to be able to create characters, but there will be. In that case, it would automatically assign the character to the user who created it.

And no, users was not a typo

All right, awesome! As some of the people here (looks at @[PF] Amethyst ) know, I'm a massive NPC person, always able and willing to provide a character for any sort of situation, and I always feel bad asking her to link a new NPC to me!

Nova 3 will actually allow you to post without a character @Mikey- Rozia. There's a concept of "additional contributors" so you can jump in on post to play a one-time character without needing to create and link a secondary character for that (or worse, use one of your characters who isn't actually involved just so you can contribute to the post)

@AgentPhoenix With Nova 3 is there anything different to the nova we use now?

Thank you very much @AgentPhoenix ! That sounds like it'll actually be really awesome!

@Melonna There's a lot changing, but if I've done my job, it should all be pretty self-explanatory when you get in there.

kk

@Mikey- Rozia Yeah I'm hoping that it opens up a lot of possibilities for people

I'm going to head out and give my wife a hand with the baby, but like I mentioned in the panel, please join the Anodyne Discord server if you want to keep chatting about Nova 3. Happy to discuss anything people are curious about!

Thank you @AgentPhoenix for taking the time to run your panel, your efforts are, as always, very appreciated.

Hello all

If anyone want to discuss more on my panel, I will be here. I am also availble if anyone would want to discuss more on character creation, since we didn't cover it much

hi

Hi Ens Doe

sorry for being late

It's ok

Do you have any questions or anything specific you want to talk about?

I had a question about writing solid back stories. What are some of the more important things you'd want to include in your back story to help you in future character development?

also what are most admin looking for as far as strengths and weakness in more unique characters? Whats considered a turn off and what is more desirable as far as a good balance?

Ok for you back story I would say where did your character come from, what motivated them in life. Like their parents, or maybe not. Maybe they were adopted. Any other things that formed you character before joining a sim or rpg. If it's a starfleet sim, it would help to state if they have done training at the academy or have pre fleet experience. It also possible the character doesn't remember their parents or their child hood life. So then maybe you could start at the first thing your character remembers and go from there.

Thank you

Is the character dev. Panel still going on?

Hey Wolfy

Hi jane

Strenghts and weaknesses, most admins I seen usually go with the 1 more weakness than you have in strength. I sometimes go with the rule for every strength you have an oposit weakness. Some even don't go that route and require you to name positive and negatives things about your characters. So each admin/GM/CO is different in that aspect.

@[PF]Wulfgar/C'Tirr kind of, it ended though, but I am still available in this room for questions

I'd say that strengths and weaknesses need to be either balanced or lying to weaknesses

I like that
