Session Zero

Please focus on the team concept before proposing any characters. A cohesive team concept will both promote roleplay and push the campaign in a certain direction. A campaign about a family of hunters on a road trip will be different than ones who are a chosen and their friends dealing with weirdness in their home town.

Example team concepts (not limited to these):
- Chosen and their friends
- Unsolved Cases Team of Expert and team
- Order of monster hunters lead by an initiate
- Road tripping family or group of friends dealing with evil that they find along the way

I think these two would be interesting.
- Unsolved Cases Team of Expert and team
- Road tripping family or group of friends dealing with evil that they find along the way

I have not played or Read MOTW before. Taking a look at it now.

Take a look at the playbooks and see if you find 3 you like. Odds are if they aren't all too similar to each other one of them should work for a team concept

I like the Unsolved Cases Team of Expert and team concept. As for character concept, I like the Expert, the Spell-slinger and maybe the Flake.

I also like the Unsolved Cases team concept. It sounds like fun! As for character concept, I will need to take another look before I decide. I like the chosen but other than that I will have to check them out.

Keep in mind if you all go with the unsolved cases team concept, one of you needs to be the Expert. That player doesn't have to be a leader. At minimum, they are the one who deals most directly with your superiors at the agency, and as such get the case files. Once you are on your own to solve the case, you are equals.

You guys can also come up with the agency. Is it made up or part of an existing one like the FBI? Is it well known or a rumor at best to those outside?

I kind of like the idea of a private agency that deals with unsolved cases with an upper echelon of directors that has connections throughout the major agencies, including Interpol and other international policing organizations.

How about we are all living double lives and working as undercover agents. We can't say anything about this private organisation because they will deny our claim and make us an expendable asset?

We could go SCP style.

I need to look at the different characters types.

At the very least, who want to be the Expert? Or do you want to say no one is an expert because you are all unofficial agents of this organization?

I can play as the Expert.

We have an Expert.
I was thinking The Monstrous or The Mundane.
Stalker05 said they might go The Spell-Slinger. If they don't I might look into Spooky.

Well Stalker05 is the one who said they would be the expert, so I guess that means you can be the Monstrous, Mundane, or Spooky

So, any news? Have you determined what you are playing?

@zatatmando,@Smiley any thoughts on your playbooks? We have a basic idea of the party theme, so once we have the playbooks we'll use the prompts each playbook gives to determine a history between each hunter and the other two hunters

Hmm, I am actually thinking either the Initiate or the Professional. The Professional comes with the possibility of a vehicle as well, and some good combat bonuses so I think I am leaning that way.

I just realized that the team concept actually calls for a professional, not an expert. The expert is just a really knowledgeable person, while a professional works for an organization. Think of the initiate and the professional as two sides of the same coin, with the initiate being the magical one and the professional the mundane one.

With that in mind, do you still want to play the expert @Stalker05 ? If you felt compelled because of what I said then I got that wrong

If you go Professional I might go Monster or Spook.
You could be my handler.



I was thinking Mandane for the Van also but Profesional gets it.

If no one has a car but a car is necessary for a story, you guys can get a car but since it wasn't part of a playbook it will be an old used car that has seen better days but is still functional

I am fine with Expert. So, we have Professional/Initiate and a Monster/Spook?
