Disappointing, but understandable.

Agreed. I have difficulty listening to people talk when I'm not right there with them (and often even then if it's a rant or lecture style discussion)...

But I'll give this the old college try. Hey, PK and crew might just be entertaining enough to hold my SQUIRREL! like attention span.

Could a fan make a transcript or would that be against SJG policy in some way?

That would be perfectly acceptable. Transcribe away!

FWIW, I do know of one fan that does very good transcriptions, though not sure if he has the time (or SJG has the budget) for it.

Transcription of RPG material is highly technical, so fan-sourced, paid or not, is one of the only ways to get a good transcription.

Gah!

I've been looking forward to this but some emergency work came up. I only caught the tail-end. I was hoping to wait until the AtE questions had died down to ask a few non-AtE questions. Oh well. At least I got to see the guys for a few seconds.

The question about "everyman skills" really got me thinking, and it's worth my expanding it a bit here.

I'd roughly group 'em into these six categories, although I'm not 100% sure if Groups #1 and #2 are truly separate or two sides of the same coin. You want at least one from each list -- more if this is your specialty.
  1. Lay of the Land: Area Knowledge, Current Affairs, Navigation.
  2. Live off the Land: Scrounging, Survival, Urban Survival, Weather Sense.
  3. Traveling: Hiking, Riding, Skating/Skiing, or a vehicle skill.
  4. Winning or Avoiding Fights: At least a few combat skills (with a mix of unarmed vs. weapon, close vs. ranged, and low-tech vs. high-tech), plus Acrobatics, Intimidation, Stealth, and Tactics. (Arguably Holdout and Observation, too.)
  5. (Optional) Knowledge of the Old and New Worlds: Architecture, Anthropology, Current Affairs, Expert Skills (Mutants and Robotics), Naturalist.
  6. (Optional) Social Skills: Body Language, Carousing, Detect Lies, Diplomacy, Fast-Talk, Intimidation, Psychology, Sex Appeal.

I had a question about After The End (love the series by the way). It's about LFP.

Why does it start at 0 instead of a positive (ex: LFP = FP) or why is it working in reverse compared to other secondary characteristics like HP, FP and RP?

Thanks.
