Getting there on all this. Hope you don't mind, I lowered a Distinction and added a piece of Gear -- a control suit that helps Eva not overdo it with her super-strength. Mostly it's there to get damaged in combat and action and give her complications.

Augusta, Melissa, we haven't talked much about the relationships with Eva and each of you. Ideas?

Dave, yours for Eva is "Dave has been on this path and can help me" -- make sense?

Melissa doesn't like Eva. She thinks she's ditzy, But she tolerates her. She's not sure if Eva's memory problems are genuine.

That's a really good Value Statement for the relationship between the two. Dave's statement towards Eva is: has secrets he needs to discover.
I really like that these can be challenged and rewritten as things evolve. Some of the issue right now is that we really don't have a good handle on how the other characters are going to play together. The ability to change the value statements will really help as they grow, evolve and find their voice.

Here's mine, and I think the sheet is public.

Relationships
Melissa Kort 1d8 Melissa knows what i went through, a sister
Dave Draven 1d10 Without Dave's support, I would crumble
Eva 1d8 Eva will help me fight for justice

I clicked to make Dave's sheet public but that's pretty spotty if it works or not.
Jan 30, 2023 5:34 am
I can see your sheet, but that doesn't mean anything in regards to publicness, since I'm GM
Jan 30, 2023 5:58 am
I only see Augusta's sheet as public so far. Eva's has been all along (most of you probably know I vastly prefer public sheets, it's my default). Glad to hear the connection with Dave works, and Augusta, seeing yours, going with something like Augusta needs something from me or Augusta needs my help.

And... ditzy?! Oookay. We'll see about that!

She's ready for review I think, bowl.

I wish there was an option on GP that the GM could make all character sheets visible to everyone in a game. Would be useful. Or just have that be the default anyway. There's very little reason not to have public sheets on GP. Even if you have secrets you want to store on there, you can always write a note to yourself
Jan 30, 2023 6:03 am
Yup. That's what I do...

Okay, I took a quick look over your sheets now. Thoughts:

@Harrigan, Dark Lips Books, the Department Store, Gorgon and Mike Crandall (?) should all have 2D, not 1D. They should also be in the Extras/Locations section, not relationships.
For your abilities, you pick one special effect, not all of them (You can gain more through leveling up at the end of an episode).
The way triggers and special effects are listed on this sheet is not very nice for quick reference. But maybe you can look at how some others formatted within the table and make it a bit cleaner

@Windyridge, you're still missing your triggers. Also, you don't trust Brian but still think of Augusta as a romantic rival for him? That seems healthy

@Qralloq, looks good, I think

@witchdoctor, you're missing the dice values for your extras and locations. Otherwise, it looks good, I think

I thought those (Extras and Locations) were on *one* sheet. And those person can use them for free, vs. others paying a PP to use them kind of thing?

Had to check the rules on that and found this:

It's not just one person who has access to them. If you're connected to them through the Pathways creation, you have them as extra/location on your sheet, regardless of if you're the one who created them.

Ah! Holy crap this game is a tangled mess!

Will be fun though!
Jan 30, 2023 7:54 am
Yes

I hope so
Jan 30, 2023 8:08 am
So we're listing everything & everyone we're connected to on the Pathway?
Jan 30, 2023 8:11 am
Yes, but only the connections that have an arrow coming from you.

So, for example for Dave, you would list Plaxo because Dave is connected to Plaxo but you wouldn't list Dartella because she is connected to him.
Jan 30, 2023 8:14 am
Those start out at 2d4, correct?
Jan 30, 2023 8:19 am
I think I'm good to go unless you spot anything else I missed.
