OOC-Game and Character Discussion

Also updated my charactersheet with your template. Just need to grab some more details from gear and then done!

I think Run has been with them a couple of months, enough time to earn trust we discussed.

So, Clair and Ham have been working together for a while. Run joined the crew to be some extra muscle, he has stayed around because he is trustworthy. And Loan Shark has proven himself useful for setting up jobs and stuff, but now wants to come out on some as well?

Sounds right to me.

Awesome. I've been working on the initial jobs that will be available, as soon as we get those characters in we can get started. I'm thinking probably Monday or Tuesday. Sound good?

Sounds good. I forgot to add Ham-Bone to the character sheet but will do it over the weekend.

You should have Ham-Bone's sheet. I spent 5 bounty to raise two skills and have banked the other 5. Can't wait to start.

Are you guys able to access my new subforum (Invisible Hand)?

I don't see it. It is truly transparent.

Sweet. Thanks.

Can't remember if I counted it this way. I just read that Backpacks and your first Rations are free at Character Gen. Make sure we didn't count those 2 Bounty out of your 10 (or 20 for Scavengers).

I want Claire to sabotage other crews, can't get a post up tonight it'll be another day or two. :)

Well to sabotage you need to know who they are. Once you do, you can try to sabotage them as a scam during the negotiations So for now think about how Claire would go about finding that info out.

Hey, so can I scout out PB's area to see what people are going to him for the contract? Claire has bigh awareness and binoculars and also decent stealth. She can collect Intel and bring it back to the group?

Using awareness is definitely an option in the rules so...

Absolutely. Awareness would be just like you described, kinda looking around your area for information. Despite having some very old school elements, like random encounters and what not. It's pretty big on collaboratively improvising the narrative. So for awareness, give me a sense of how you're going about applying that skill, you don't necessarily have to feed me NPCs (though I really like Greasy Pete and you'll definitely see that dude again, I don't feel like I fleshed out Deuce quite as much),

As long as you stay within the enclave, don't force the other players into actions that they haven't agreed to, and don't just start blatantly giving unwarranted benefits to your character that are unrelated to the roll you're probably ok. My plan is to do my best to incorporate whatever you give me and work it in to the story. If something just completely doesn't work for some reason, we may need to ret con it, but I'm going to avoid that as much as possible. These prep work checks are supposed to give us as a group an opportunity to a) move the narrative forward, and b) do some world-building together. The references and dependents provide another mechanic like that. They have a mechanical purpose (help overturn a failed result, and heal threats), but they are also there to provide opportunities to roleplay your characters.

Sorry this became a much longer answer than originally intended

Okay, can you give me a location that I would see PB King ? I don't want to place him somewhere, but can work some RP if I have a spot to use.

You can definitely incorporate others just don't dictate their actions, but for these small vignettes it wouldn't make sense most of the time. Ultimately we are just playing out one die roll.
