Initial game discussion and expectations

Blue DOES appreciate good vodka! Although he will not drink half as much as Huerago.

But, about American driving laws. Which country in America are you referring to? (Blue rolls Academics) America is a huge continent and he'd say each has it's own laws...

Hey Draco,

We got into the rabbit hole of Qralloq's premise heads on:

Our team of paranormal investigators is hired to investigate Lakeshore Haven, a summer lake resort that was abandoned after a brutal mass murder twenty years ago. The site has since become the subject of urban legends and unexplained phenomena, drawing in curious investigators. Strange sightings, eerie sounds, and disappearing locals near the lake have reignited interest in the location, and your team has been called in to uncover the truth behind the haunting.

Expanding the concept: The team is a reuniting music band, originally from high school, moving around in a van.


Now we are partly creating (and partly discovering I'd say) our characters.
Feel free to read the PC's drafts so far, and start your own.

I own a van so will be driver. It is souped up because I still cruise the strip like we did back in the day. Plus I am only really a beer drinker so no probs there.

I see that Mathias' character also knows how to repair cars and stuff...

Draco, Phil's character has some muscle I'd say, being a security guard (or maybe one of those fat guys always looking a the camera screens? hehehe, probably ex-cop?). I guess he will describe his PC. But feel free to build another melee brawler, or frojlore expert, or a combination. Whatever suits you!

So how many skills do we get?

So we 10 all together? There is a Fate Core sheet and it isn't the one we are using?

Your skills form a pyramid, with a single skill rated at Great (+4)—which is referred to as the peak skill—and more skills at each lower rating on the ladder going down to Average (+1):

One Great (+4) skill
Two Good (+3) skills
Three Fair (+2) skills
Four Average (+1) skills

Done.

So are we using the sheet at the top of this thread or the one on GP?

Huerago went with.

Skills: 18 of them available.
+4 Great: Lore
+3 Good: Deceive, Notice
+2 Fair: Burglary, Resources, Will
+1 Average: Contact, Drive, Stealth, Empathy
+0 Unranked: Athletics, Crafts, Fight, Investigate, Physique, Provoke, Rapport, Shoot

Stunts:
1. Specialist: Computer Science. You get a +2 to all Lore rolls relating to that field of specialization.
2. Danger Sense: You have an almost preternatural capacity for detecting danger. Your Notice skill works unimpeded by conditions like total concealment, darkness, or other sensory impairments in situations where someone or something intends to harm you.
3. Lie Whisperer: +2 to all Empathy rolls made to discern or discover lies, whether they’re directed at you or someone else.

I use the game supplied sheet.
