Fniff first

Also, for my part on highlighting.

Battlebabe-scriver-Sharp
Driver-Fniff-Hot
Gunlugger-Harry Baldman-Sharp
Hardholder-Xardalas-Sharp
Macaluso-Roboson-Olive
Skinner-VoidSlayer-Hard

You gain a point of experience every time you perform a basic action within a highlighted stat. After 5 experience points, you gain an improvement point, and can pick an an option from your improvement chart. After you finish your Hx chart, you pick the character you know most, and tell them to highlight whatever stat you want, as long as it's not already taken.

What exactly is Hx anyway, and how do we do this?

Hx from what I understand is some expression of character interrelation. It's like a much more variable attribute, in that you add and subtract points to it all the time in the course of play and use it for some specific inter-PC rolls.

It's how well you know a character. Not how well you like them.

Hx is History, how much you feel you know the other person.

We go around telling each other what they should write on their sheet based on our playbook.

Alright!
Scriver/Avery, you've been on the road with me for days. You get Hx+2 with me.
Harry Baldman/Chaplain Spot, you once got me out of some serious shit. You get Hx+2 with me.
Everyone gets Hx+1 with me. I've been on the road a long while; everyone knows a little about where I've been and who I am.

So, are we going down the list? Does that mean Scriver or Harry Baldman's after me?

You pick who goes next. When that guy's done, he then chooses someone, until everyone's been picked.

Your sheet should also tell you what you do with the number you were just given.

In my case I can add -1 or +1 my choice.

If it's okay, I'd like to skip VoidSlayer, do to the long wait. Anyone else have their Hx stat ready to go?
