Firefly Motivators

The rpg.net "RPG Motivational Posters" thread refuses to die, so I put in my interpretations of the Serenity crew.

You're still a sick man, Karl.

Keep up the good work... ;-)

I love "Elaborate Backstory".

jazz007 and I watched "Zorro, the Gay Blade" last night, and made quite a few comments from Shindig during it.

Given how much I enjoy developing Elaborate Backstories, it gave me a chill!

I don't get the "Dependent NPCs" ones, but the rest are great. "Forced Roleplaying" made me laugh out loud.

Hmmm, I'm guessing you haven't played point-based character generation RPGs such as GURPS. If I've got 100 points to make a character I can take a disadvantage (limitation, flaw) to get some more points. One option is to have a weaker character following me around that I have to take care of, a dependent NPC. Someone useful most of the time would give me 15 points, someone not helpful but mostly self-sufficient would be 30, and having to carry an infant as I'm adventuring would be worth 100.

So I'm claiming Kaylee is actually an NPC Mal's player bought so he could have more points for skills, and the occasional hostage situation is the price of that.

LOL awesome :)

I was rather fond of the "Forced Roleplaying" one, myself. But then, I'm evil like that to the poor players. :-)
