- Not sure what you mean by a default editor. The stuff you can do in a post here, without resorting to HTML or inputting B Code yourself, is pretty powerful. What do you mean here?

- There already is a listing of games ran on the forum, as well as their GM and the game system used. It's at the bottom of the portal page, which can be accessed by clicking Home up above.

- Thats what the player recruitment threads are for as well as discussion. Hero Central did not have such a thread to discuss a game before joining it, that was done in PM's. RPol doesn't either. I figure, the same can work here. No need to make a board for every game to discuss it before people join, it would clutter things. Plus, a lot of people, myself being one, would rather discuss the game they migh be joining in private with the GM.

- Already done. Simple Machine Forums using the standard BB code used by all BB's. There is a uniform standard. In the FAQ post I even provided a link to the BB code.

- I would prefer FAQ requests be sent to me privately. I am trying to reduce clutter. Not sure why we would need a board for me to shoot down one person just so I can accept another's requests. Plus a FAQ is not about requests, its about informing people about how to do many things that are commonly asked about. FAQ's are a pool of questions commonly asked, their purpose is to answer the same question you were about to ask before you even ask it. They are not meant for you to ask questions. Generally anyone who has a question about the forum asks me directly, cause I'm always online in some form and easily found. A lot of the current FAQ posts I made are derived from those questions. And a few others have posted questions in the General Discussion board. Honestly, for now, I'd like to keep it that way. I tend to be a hands on type of guy.

All good idea's though Shadow, keep it up. :)

If you have just joined the forum and decided to join the Lurker Member Group to view the boards for the games on the forum then what it does is make the Lurker Member Group your primary member group. What this does is stop your ability to post on the forums. The way arround this issue is to go back into your profile where you joined the Lurker Member Group, look where it says Current Membergroups and your should see two groups there, Registered Members and Lurker. Select the little bubble to the left of Registered Members, then click the Make Primary Group button just below and to the right of the listing of your groups.

This will resolve your issue and you will be able to post to the General Category.

The forum does have a download/upload ability accessable to all users. It's up at the top under the Downloads link.

Downside, everyone can access it. I am looking for an add-on to use so the individuals can have thier own FTP space.

gmail's gdrive can upload a variety of formats including various office formats. Only issue I have seen is smoe things formatted will not save the exact format on gdrive.

I'm fairly certain Kyper has posted what system's each game are using on the home page. However just because you asked, Galaxies Edge is a Hero 5 edition game.

besides what is listed in your game is there any other guidelines on what you are looking for the Galaxy's Edge? Like skills required for being a member of NTSF.

any rules on building gadgets?

Is this more star trek or Enterprise or would some other sci fi space opera be more appropriate?


To be a member of the NTSF, would require some additional background information that I won't discuss here because of story reasons.

As far as sci-fi space opera goes, that's where it gets a little wonky. I don't have specific source that I pull from. You are likely to notice obvious references to certain tv shows and video games here and there but for the most part I tend to think up adventures on the fly.

Unless it has to do with my overall story arc, which hasn't been reached it. Right now it is about letting the players explore and let some realizations that they are going be far from home and the only support they have is each other and the rest of the crew.

items list in no particular order
  • set default editor for posts and pms to set default value for the toggle view. Most times people have preferred editor style
  • listing for games versus game system and version of rules
  • game thread to discuss the game before deciding to join a game
  • a FAQ thread of what bb codes are allowed or not allowed as no two sites seem to use all of the same bb code features
  • a sub forum for FAQ requests. Since what one person asks for might not be possible but another person might be inspired to request something that is possible.

Can GMS please post the game system and rules version used for their games?  In some instances it's not clear. I know for Hero System difference between V5 and V6 are fairly large.

for other games systems if there are free set or player set of rules like for instance Savage Worlds has a 'Test Drive version' of the rules available.
