Welcome

I am good with whatever right now. I also haven't really had a whole bunch of that tend to come up in my games that I played so I'll make use of the safety devices we have in play if something surprisingly bothers me.

I looked and indeed didn't mark anything. As for RP goes, I am fine with anything.


Sounds like quite an interesting family we are working up here. I see grandpa and grandkids. But I wonder where the generation in the middle is :)

Still catching up, but going well. Should we come up with a detailed backstory or let that develop throughout the game?
I like the idea of my character being another cousin. So that would be 3 sets of parents, but we all share a grandfather/grandmother. Would that be okay?
Also, like, what age is everyone? And what do family members look like?

My personal plan is that all my in-betweens are dead before this. They died young, in the prime of their life, but always after an heir was born of some sort. I've inherited all that goodness and used none of it wisely.

quickly re-writes the game

I mean you can have an idea of the general backstory but for now it's just the adjective and the family role. You'll need to put some skeletons in your closet later so that will lead us to the backstories and the character's connections
So a true Rookwood and not cousin as in the other cousin's spouse? (just checking since you mentioned adopted into the family).
Ok, so we'd have Squadfather44's and Cettish's parents, KingHotTrash's parents, crazybirdman's parents, the missing generation, and then Dr_B' whose the uncle of all those dead relatives. If I got my family tree right ...
I guess it would be easy to promote the oldest cousin to uncle is we want to fill the gap 🤣

If that works! If you have plans, I'm totally adaptable as well! I'm a very laissez-faire player! DON'T BURN THE NOTEBOOK! <3

You mean... and entire generation missing... in a gothic mystery? 🤔 I mean... they probably don't call it a curse for no reason 😂. It can be fitted I think yes. i was going to ask if you have any other relatives later, but we can check what the other's think of this bizarre turn of events?

I was meaning mostly my parents for the ones missing. I don't know about the others, they can definitely be around. I probably have siblings that I haven't seen soberly in a decade.

Are we going for OOC publicly known/shared skeletons? I mean, I have an idea for an interesting skeleton my character would have, but it would require something involving the other characters (then again, I kinda guess that is the point of it all).

That's a good point. Can we have some openly known and have some secret? That way they could possibly come out in game play.

Were we supposed to be able to enter info on that google sheet?
Quick clarification: Rookwood or Rockwood?
Also, if my character is adopted, does that mean they would have no weird die?

1) I think we can mark it or should be able to? I didn't try myself.
2) I hope Rookwood because that means crows and crows are awesome.
3) I think you can still be weird (The family attracts the eccentric and emotionally mismanaged) but you don't have a curse then. You get an extra Talent to make up for it instead. So no cool supernatural powers that may consume you but more mundane usefulness?

I think it's one per character and at least another player must have a hint of it, but being a secret is ok. They will come one when you need to restore your dice pool, so I wouldn't worry too much about that
Yes, isn't it working? maybe there's some permission problem.
Rookwood. I mistype that all the time xD
You just don't get a curse according to the rules (but get more assets in turn). Weird is not supernatural power, it can be supernatural intuition and willpower and so on. Even if you're not cursed, you might resist the supernatural well or feel its manifestations and that sort of thing.

I'll also clarify that you can roll any dice even if it is a "weird" check. Doesn't have to match. The difference that 6s are worth more if the "color" matches (and how you'd narrate it I guess)

or that :)

The sheet link you sent doesn't give edit permissions.
Also, you didn't change the title from the other game to this one 😄

its' fine, since my only line is Google. 😄

I have quite a rounded idea of what I would like my character to be.

Still deciding on her exact age. Guessing 15 or so.

And looking properly set up my skeleton (that sounded more morbid than intended), without knowing much of the other characters yet.
The skeleton makes this game probably the most interesting RP game I have seen in a while, but also one hardest to make a character for.

Maybe we should all do a little intro and a AMA :)

oops. Bowl, why you don't make you stuff easy to steal?🤣

if you want to post it as a note or an empty character just to have it written down, feel free to do so :)
Oh yeah, she'd be under-aged so I hope everyone is ok with her dying horribly at the hands of a giant space squid ... oh wait, wrong game :D
It really does :D it makes sure there will be real drama at some point (probably at the worst moment as well)
