"Who else is looking to…'retrieve' me?" Summer asks nervously. "And where are you 'retrieving' me to?" She doesn't especially want the school secretary to hear the answers, but she doesn't want to be alone with Man-Mountain Esq., Attorney-at-Law, either. Manipulating the lawyer ...

Here's the first one I'm trying out, made with the playground. Other Foci I considered were "Fuses Flesh and Steel" and "Works the Back Alleys". The jack is attractive to me, because I'm interested in trying the glaive-nano hybrid version of it, as opposed to the straight thief....

Just a bump.

At this point, we have a Mutant Jack who Crafts Unique Objects, and a Weird Nano who Controls Gravity.

We could use 1-2 more players. The glaring holes would be:
A Glaive (fighter-type class)
A character who is skilled in social interactions

how about the skin in his right hand and left leg is intermingled with nano particles making it shine blue. Would that be a distinctive mutation? And if it is, should I delete the original quirk? In general, yes, shining blue skin would be a distinctive mutation... but the details need to be worked...

Nobody disturbs Kate and Seth while they talk. Kate is obviously agitated about her sister going missing, but she's still in pain and in need of rest. For that matter, Seth is also amongst the walking wounded, having been in Hell only yesterday... MC Voice: Okay, Kate has healed 1 Harm. She's down t...

Manipulate NPC to get the gorilla to go easy on her: 2d6+2=8 The large man in the school office recognizes Lucinda instantly. He's out of his chair quickly and gracefully in a way that makes his large bulk seem improbable. If he didn't resemble a giant wrasslin' heel from the WWE, his movements wou...

EDIT: Moving to scene 8...

So... with Controls Gravity, the point is that your character has additional mobility & gains more at higher tiers. In any case, it shouldn't be difficult to engage this during the adventure. Your Weird quirk... I think it needs to be a physical feature, not just an action. It sets your characte...

Cool. I would point out that the obvious gaps around the two characters would be social interaction (a weirdo and a mutant), and possibly physical tank (combat).

Otherwise, I need to take some time and flip through my PDF before I say more.

Seth walks up to the front desk, "What room is Kate Jericho in?" MC Voice: Okay, are we dragging Mister-Kent back in? I guess we're about ready to flip the scene forward. Let's resolve the remainder of what we're after, and then I'll set up the next scene. Seth persuades the receptionist ...

When waiting in the alley by himself, he flips out his cell and sends her a text. 'srry bout Pavo, but not rlly. didn't like him neways. Celeste coming to party? Wasn't done wit her... I could pick her up if Pavo can't ;)' [2d6] = 9 This will be my manipulate/persuade npc roll for Hot. I'm trying t...

Shutting Down Lucinda yet again: 2D6=>9 (that should have been 2d6-1, actually, dammit, but it's still an 8). Lucinda gets the Condition "Friendless" and assigns Summer a Condition. Lucinda keeps on complaining as Summer walks through the halls towards the office. Summer, I made you what ...

Alright... lots of concepts there. Cyphers are single-use items that give you specific effects. You're limited in the amount of Cyphers you can carry (otherwise, bad stuff (tm) will happen), but the point is to use them... and then I give you more. Cypher examples... a pill that cures poison, a devi...

Here are links to information about the setting. Your characters will be pilgrims from the Steadfast, which is the largest collection of human civilization on Earth in the Ninth Age. The Steadfast is made up of 9 different allied monarchies. (Some say "Kingdoms", but when your "Kingdo...

Please direct your posts to that board, Mister-Kent and thesniperknight1.

All other interested players, please post here! Thanks

Here is where I'll post stuff about the rules.

I will use the top post as an index & I'll do my best to link to individual clarifying posts in this thread.

This thread is for talking about character generation.

Here's the online character generator, for your reference.

Hello, all. Please use this thread for OOC discussions. Thanks!

Cool. I'm looking on the internet for rules summaries that fit the "Fair Use" rules. It's kind of tricky to find stuff that isn't totally infringing on the owner's rights. My main goal is to find stuff to describe the XP rules... mainly, the "spending XP" rules. You can do stuff ...

I haven't decided on a sheet. If you could copy & paste out of the online generator, that's probably the best way to start a sheet, I think. As for class, I think it's good if we have 1 if each, but just choose what you like best. If we have 3 Nanos, we can deal with it. Combat doesn't have to f...
