Haven't spent much time perusing Life Modules though I do like the concept.  May try to throw together a character later.

How are you defining speed? In game time, this world time, number of posts?

Quick question - Point buy explicitly states that the one stat at max rule still applies, and the Life Module says that after you have bought all your modules the fine tuning follows the point buy model. So I am assuming that you can still only have one maxed stat, even if the modules max more than one before exiting that portion of chargen. Anyone sure one way or the other? Point being, if I want to make a pixie (yes, I'm going there), one point of ether BOD or STR maxes those stats and then locks me out of maxing any other stat (like AGI). Means navigating the modules is like navigating a mine field where picking the wrong one breaks quite a few things (like some of them add both STR and BOD, maxing two stats).

Still wrapping my head around the Life Modules, like it a lot, but it's definitely a challenge.
Feels like I always end up playing matrix monkies here on the boards, but thats where I am again... Making a gnome.  I hope to get him posted up sometime tomorrow.

I can already tell that out of the 12 runners we'll be lucky if we end up with 2 standard races.

I'm currently building an Ork, but the life moduls are a bit limited, so the whole process takes longer than expected...

Yep. I just focused on getting to Magic 6 and Conjuring/Sorcery 6 at first. However, it tneds to leave your attributes and other skills a little dry.

Quick Question: Would Positive qualities cost the listed amount for chargen, or the double for new qualities?

So I'm currently AFB and haven't had the chance to look deeply into the chargen but I remember seeing the automatic negative qualities from certain backgrounds have to be "bought off" with post module karma.  If you have two modules that give the same negative quality (say Criminal SIN) do you have to buy both off to make it go away?  Do you gain additional negatives if you don't buy it off?

Just running off of memory here and I may have glossed over when skimming but yeah...

SINs- you just take whichever is higher and then buy it off.
Negative qualities- You DO NOT have to pay double to buy them off, just what they're worth. If you wanna buy em off AFTER char gen, THEN it's double.

If you get two of the same quality and it can be ranked up, you just rank it up once every time you get it.

@Poindexter: Would you be wlling to accept Initiation during chargen? Also, do we get contact points and knolwedge skill points as normal, or do those need to be purchased with karma as well?

contact and knowledge points as normal, you may buy more with karma if you should so choose.

lets not initiate just yet, eh?
