Session Zero

@Smiley I like your choice better actually. Though we could potentially do both links, which might be interesting. You could be on the watch list and have panicked and used your powers on me when you saw me following you. What do you think?

@zatatmando Works for me.
(Struggling to think how to follow connect everything.

Here is what I am thinking.

My Powers caused an Incident.
I used my Powers on Zatatmando's Character to get away from the Agency.
Knowing I needed help I went to Stalker's Character. Not knowing they were already working with the Agency.
Stalker's Character helped me get out of trouble with the Agency.
Now I am on the Agency's Watch listen
And Stalker's Character can hopefully help me control my powers.


I am still trying to figure out which Powers to take. I think I have my character done besides Powers and Name...

@Smiley I like your choice, we can do that and verify with the GM. We need flesh out what trouble was caused.

@zatatmando I like your choice too. I will be the Agency's asset, and I have worked with you before. BTW, take your time and enjoy the wedding.

One thing you may also want to discuss your ratings. Spooky has weird down and expert has sharp, but the other 3 should be somewhat balanced (if possible, at least 1 person has +1, but if no one is good at w rating than that can add drama when that move has to happen).

Reminder: tough is used to attack and protect

Sharp is used to learn information

Charm is used to get NPCs or each other to do something for you

Cool is used to help other hunters and handle stressful actions not covered by other moves

Weird is used to perform magic, but only those listed (anything else needs a special move or is big magic)

I took These stats.
Charm-1, Cool+1, Sharp=0, Tough+1, Weird+2

If Pro takes
Charm=0, Cool+2, Sharp-1, Tough+2, Weird-1

and Expert Takes
Charm+1, Cool-1, Sharp+2, Tough+1, Weird=0

We would have
Charm +1, Cool+2, Sharp +2, Tough +2, Weird +2


(Not forcing them to take those stats. Just looking at balance.)

I could change mine to
Charm+2, Cool=0, Sharp-1, Tough-1, Weird+2
But I wasn't going to player my character as being a charmer. I can change it if needed.

I think I am finished with my character.
For Powers I took

Is there a way to get playbook template here in Gamersplane?

I am thinking that my stats will be:
Charm+1, Cool-1, Sharp+2, Tough+1, Weird=0

As for my moves:

Preparedness: When you need something unusual
or rare, roll +Sharp. On a 10+, you have it here right
now. On a 7-9 you have it, but not here: it will take
some time to get it. On a miss, you know where it is,
but it’s somewhere real bad.

I’ve Read About This Sort Of Thing: Roll +Sharp
instead of +Cool when you act under pressure.

Haven
You have set up a haven, a safe place to work. Pick three
of the options below for your haven:

Lore Library. When you hit the books, take +1 forward to investigate the mystery (as long as historical or reference works are appropriate).

Infirmary. You can heal people, and have the space for one or two to recuperate. The Keeper will tell you how long any patient’s recovery is likely to take, and if you need extra supplies or help.

Panic Room. This has essential supplies and is protected by normal and mystical means. You can hide out there for a few days, safe from pretty much anything.

Gear
You get three monster-slaying weapons

Magical dagger (2-harm hand magic)
Magnum (3-harm close reload loud)
Cold iron sword (2-harm hand messy iron)

Here is what I used.

There should be some templates when you use the custom option. Not sure if you can copy what Smiley found.

Just a reminder if you feel like there are too many good options to choose from for your playbook, you can get more when you level up. You can even get moves from other playbooks (as long as narratively it makes sense).

You get exp to level up from rolling 6 or less, moves that say you get exp, and finishing mysteries.

There are two custom sheets located.

Damn, this look great. But, I am new to Gamersplane, how do do this template? Is there a particular command script to make a template like this?

I followed the first link and there is a creat a character button which I assume sends you to the character creation page with the template already there

As for the second one, I am also new so no idea. I think I joined only 3ish month ago

Click on the Template.
Click Create Character.
Add Name
The new character will show up as a Custom Sheet in your characters.
Edit from there.

I have my character done.

Alright, submit the character and I'll take a look and message you if I have questions

Character submitted!

Looks like it was filled out right. Approved! Just need our Professional by Zatatmando and then I just have one more question before we get started.

For time sake i'll go ahead and ask it. Its about monsters. My background is mostly with D&D 5e, so i'm not very familiar with monsters that don't appear in there. I wanted to know what everyone's preference was regarding monsters. On, and if there is anything you want me to avoid entirely, please message me. You won't see anything like sexual violence or violence against children in my games, but you might hear that a random man's heart was ripped out by a monster. If anything goes "too far" that I didn't already say I wasn't going to do, please message me.

I should be able to upload my character tomorrow, just doing last tweaks on it and making choices. I lost a couple of days to the wedding and then stuff that we had to make up for lost time on.

All good. Just a heads up for those that want to start thinking about it. I plan to start session one by having each of you introducing yourselves as it someone was reading a confidencial file with your BIO in it. Imagine someone 5 years after your adventures was reading up on what you all did and opened the case files and saw your BIOs.
