As some have expressed concerns about questions being buried in the chatterbox, here's a topic for Q&A. If you have questions to ask related to the RPG that are not being covered in rules and guidelines thread or game notes thread - ask them here and we can gradually build a Q&A thread here.

Ok don't all rush at once i'll go first

I have a character in development hell he has basic stealth abilities you know reduced signatures on radar and scanners etc and a muffler on his engine to silence the engine note. Was just wondering what kind of stat penalty would be incurred using said extras as they aren't listed in the main help section as incurring a penalty. Any assistance would be grateful

That pretty much falls into the low end of Cloaking Device/Invisibility -> (from -6 to -12). Depends much on how you define said abilities.

Are there any negative effects, travel sickness, etc. that we can expect as a result of orbital bouncing?

It varies. Most Cybertronians suffer brief disorientation. I've seen players mention various side affects like disorientation and other "travel sickness" type symptoms afterwards and others have no effect at all. Just depends on how adjusted you want your character to be to the process.

This will be an awkward thing to ask, but I've skimmed over a couple of threads and I think I've found some characters that were somewhat lovey-dovey. It was...different.

Without trying to step on anybody's toes, is there romance in this game?

Well, there are all kinds of relationships in game. Professional and otherwise. So yes, there is romance in the game. Of course the choice to involve your character with someone else's should be a decision between both players.

Hope that answers your question.

Well, hello. I'm a newbie here aiming to roleplay Swoop. Two questions.

1) Would this be an acceptable character for a new player to have? (new as in new here, not new to RPing)

2) His name in the roster links to a profile. How much of that information do I need to change and to what extent am I allowed to (ex. slight alterations to history or personality)

Thank you!

Swoop is fine for you to play.

You should use the profile linked in the roster list. Don't make any changes to it only because it's been already approved. You'll just need to add a sample post.

On another note I've played him as not having any speech problems. So he sounds nothing like Grimlock.
