Warlock! OOC Discussion

Does that mean wrap the game? Or the scene? How are we looking in terms of longevity?

Happy to stay going, yeah, if there’s a group for it!! If there isn’t, well, I had a a great time and will be revisiting the system in the future, for sure!

If you're looking for player-directed action, if the bandits keep giving Trusova bruises I imagine she'd go on the offensive. Find out where they're laying low and hit them while their guard is down. But, Trusova is equally in need of coin, so she's be eager to pursue the opportunities the Confessor outlined, at least until something more profitable emerges.

@Jabes.plays.RPG, ready to hit the high seas again? We’ll be needing our captain, surely!

That plan sounds good to me!

I think Trusova would not rush to take on hirelings at this time. Coin is tight, and she wouldn't trust them. As long as there's a people who have it out for her, who's to say these people won't flip to their side? The group doesn't have the resources to guarantee their loyalty. However, if KCC or Ciriaco feel strongly about retaining some muscle, Trusova could accept it easier if they were people that Lambert or Banio could vouch for.

It's winter holidays, so please feel free to ignore this if folks are busy, but I thought I'd ask how people are enjoying the Warlock! system? The setting and Harrigan's presentation of it are stellar, so I'm thinking specifically about the mechanics on their own. For example, I enjoyed the character creation with its flavourful & randomly generated occupations. It made for some unique characters, and I'm enjoying playing in this group of sketchy folks. What are some rules people like and don't like so far?

Having tried to play Warhammer 4th Edition (which I like well enough), it was very very finicky! I like how stripped down this is. No fiddly bits. My dice rolls don’t exact work well, trying to beat 20, but the theory of it is good!

I also like leaning into the Warhammer-ness. That specific, grimy ‘ay-up guvna’ness.

Yeah, I'm really curious to see more about those mechanics. Combat seems the easiest to reach for our characters, as we are cruisin' for a bruising as we speak. I like the +5 on offense only. Partly why Trusova wants to hit these guys back - this is a world where if you're only defending then you're just pretending! Let's slice open some throats.

Magic seems further away. Don't see Trusova going down that path but it'll be interesting to see how it works at the table. Hopefully we won't be exploring crits on the receiving end, but it should be interesting to see either way.
