@ThatTaoGuy -- I don't know if you have access to the full Beyond the Wall book, but on page 37:
"
Important Rule for Players!
While you are rolling on the various tables for your character, you may get a particular result that you absolutely hate, or you may just see a result that you missed that you really love. Once during character creation, you may ignore the result of a roll and pick anything you like from that particular table. No fair going back and doing this later! Just do it when it feels like you need to so that you can make your character conform to your vision."
I know it says not to do it after creation, but if you didn't know, I'm for it.
Thanks for pointing this out Esidrix. I think I also mentioned it very early on, but that's very easy to get lost/forgotten in the shuffle.
Did anyone end up using that? I don't think I saw anyone mention it.
It would definitely be "more osr" to only allow it "in the moment" and not retro-actively.
But while there are many things I like about "the osr philosophy", there are many things I think lead to a better experience for many players in where modern games have evolved.
And more control over what you're character can do is one of them.
So I would also be inclined to let someone change 1 life path they were unhappy with, after the fact, before play.
Really appreciate the input all!
And I really, REALLY appreciate your participation in this "game".
I do want to actually run this some time.
But I feel generally at my limit with my 2 games right now.
A far cry from the heady days when I was running or playing in, like, 7 or 8 different games at a time 😅
Anyway, if any of you were interested, and if/when I have bandwidth open up, I'd totally put you all at the top of a list to reach out to, of/when I ever get the chance to run this system.
Thanks again!
