I think as with the other Borg games, it seems to be best to treat characters as somewhat disposable - don't get too attached and prepare to roll up a new one seems to be the best approach!

You nailed it, Sly!

My headcanon for Sen is that believes he can find enlightenment from the non-stop RCD ads he's subjected to, and is mentally warped to the extent that he has zero sense of self-preservation. Each job he survives is a genuine surprise to him.

While you wait for me to start the adventure, here's a cool video showing what RCD life could be like:

Apologies for butting into your thread, but that may be one of the most oppressively miserable videos I've ever watched. It's genuinely impressive.

You're welcome to butt in any time, Raid.

Apologies for the tardiness in getting started on this; I've been pretty busy the last 24 hours and also have been struggling to find a starting adventure I like.

I think I've found one now, so going to run with it and see how we get on.

Cheeky request that we don't get started properly until Sunday as I am out literally all day tomorrow and will have very few opportunities to participate.

Fine with me. In all fairness, the only days I can really commit to 100% are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, as those are the days I'm chained to my desk.

That'll give you time to digest the primer thread I made over the weekend.
