Let's, uh, give this a shot.


I think I did it right. Dunno what the basic moves are, though. Never mind, found 'em.

Real question time: what exactly is the roll? d10? d12? d20?
If there are a few experienced people you can pick the game up quick from watching them.  It is very narrative focused so if you want your character to grab the bar stool and smash it over Joey's head because he is being an ass, just say so.

Also the character sheets reference has basic moves common to all characters near the end.

I'm thinking for our first outing, I should have the mysterious Master of Ceremonies group you all up in one location, in one way or another. Afterwards, I think we should go with the classic Magnificent Seven story type. Just for this first mission, to warm up my MCing. What do you think?

It depends, if we get a hardholder or Maestro D I suspect we can start near them, but a Magnificent Seven approach does help get us together and nominally allied.

If we get a hard holder, then we can start in the hardhold. As for the Maestro D, she could provide a nice tavern area, or have a more mobile base, like a series of buses or a tavern on a train. Just some ideas. I encourage people with gangs to RP as their gang members even if their main character isn't around. They can get more involved in the story, and cause more drama. Drama is good!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but since we have a Skinner I assume we can't have a Maestro D' due to the character quotas?

Yes, you are right, thanks for clearing that up. So if we get a hardholder, we'll set up our adventure there. Other than that, everything else should be good.

Bump! Still need one "HOT" character and one more "HARD" character. Please ask me to explain something if it is cunfusing or unclear in some way.

I thought we needed a Cool and a Hard character, I took the Skinner.

I meant "Cool", not "Hot". Can't believe I glossed over that mistake. I need one "Cool" character and one "Hard" character. Waiting for sheets for "Weird" Characters.

And Gwolfski, once you get your character made.

We are going to get this game start. Also, if you want to choose a different character from what you have, I'm removing the character quota from my game. You can have whatever character you want, without worry of restrictions. So Harry, you can be a different character if you want, instead of a Gunlugger. Same with VoidSlayer too, if you want. I'd like to see a theme song, though, just because the others have one. Just add it to the end of your sheet. Waiting on Gwolfski, as of now, and you can pick a different character also, if you want, since there are no more quotas, other than only one of each class.

But once everyone's ready, I'll get a new thread set up, and leave this one to die. This place is a mess, that's why I'm making a new one. I'll leave a link when I do. But yeah, it's almost time to party like its the apocalypse or something :)

If I still can join, I'd like to go with this concept I've had lying around for a while of a Battle Babe crossed with the surfer dude guy from Apocalypse Now.
