Character Creation

Yeah, I think I’ll roll with Evangeline. I decide soon on which path she was on as a youngun.
Ah, thanks for the reminder on that.

And I will say that I like the split / different playbooks, but it does make me want to suggest that Cel turns this into a full-on troupe game. =]

Not sure it is clear, are we doing 3 CASE playbook characters, or a mix?

I don't know that it matters, as I think Cel's said it will just color the stories we tell, the setting, etc. I think we two are going CASE, but I don't know that E has made a decision.

Will be submitting my sheet tonight.

Ok, if I have the right of it, Ironmonger42 is starting with a CASE Tactician and Harrigan is running CASE Ace? What CASE Design are you guys running?

I plan to use a Frontline mid range CASE with modular Design for 6 load and ready for anything for +1 load while not in a case (should I have to get out of lose the case)

Not to put words in Harrigan's mouth, but the character submission I have is a Commander piloting a front-liner w/ a mid-range signature weapon, with Resourceful and Mass-Produced.

(I'll admit, I half-expected to see Notable Style on the sheet).

I might have gotten something wrong.

Notable Style is a SOUL MOVE, and I thought those were only available as an Advance.
Did I miss an instruction where I should be picking a SOUL MOVE too? Also, what makes you say you expected to see Notable Style, Cel?

Esidrix, Cel has it spot-on for my PC. Front Line Unit, CASE Commander. In terms of the frame, I could easily switch to Assault or Scout if we want more versatility. I also might drop Mass Production and go with Trick Weapon -- providing stronger melee or long-range support in a pinch if needed.

I am done with my character mechanically but I am trying to figure out their past and future to make sense of my decisions. Since I am figuring out the system, I am choosing something that gives me a lot of flexibility so I can experiment and see what happens.

Tactician with bound rush with 1 dot in steady, access, and discern and 2 dots in duel. My moves and modular Design and ready for anything. I see him as a very prepared person who is decent at watching what is happening from a distance but not long range distance and is careful to formulate a plan before going in.

Step 5 of Character Creation says that you choose a move from "whatever lists your playbook has access to." "Lists" being plural, suggests to me that the Soul List is available to everyone, and also their CASE or STATION moves.

As for why "Notable Style", I mean, you put "Zipper-Busting Curves" in your Look line. That qualifies in my brain, and the Sneak penalty is ... very memeable.



I'm gearing up for my tabletop crew right now, Ironmonger, but I'll look over your character and see what advice I can offer after we're done.

Naw, naw. They have CASE or STATION moves as appropriate. If it's a CASE Playbook, they have CASE & SOUL, if it's a STATION Playbook they have Station & Soul. Sorry if I didn't make that clear, was in a bit of a scattered rush.

The CREW playbook is shared with all other players, so, yeah, you'll make a choice together and all benefit from the same starting Skill. Similarly, you'll have to agree among yourselves who the Crew has worked with and worked against in the past.

Got it. I'll adjust that stuff once we've made a group decision.

Team, thoughts on...



I like Priority Treatment, but am fine with any of the Upgrades. In terms of Moves, it again looks like me like we'll choose that when we fill the Crew XP track.

I am good with priority treatment or the scout, either

Ok, I have to put the details on paper, but I'm looking at Recon with a Long range weapon.
