I think we can assume for storytelling purposes that you all start as members of a Chantry without spending points on the background. You will be losing the benefits sooner rather than later.

I don't see a good template for Maqe characters anywhere here. We have a couple options. We can use the World of Darkness sheet and just add things like Spheres and Arete in the notes section. Or we can forgo building characters here on GP and you can create them using some other website or software and post them in a thread I create for this purpose. What do you all think?

I like the idea of building them outside of gamersplane (already did) and then also inputting it in gamersplane for quick reference.

I’m all for that as it will give me a place where they’re consolidated for me to reference.

Just to let you know, the ability names don't match up in the gamersplane WOD sheet

I know. I'm not good at coding or I would create a template we could use. Other than that I'm not sure what to do. We could just use a blank custom sheet and type everything in notes style. You won't have anything built into the die roller that way though.

It's all good! I just put the skills not listed in the Merits field since I don't have any Merits, and the Arete and Spheres in the Weapons field since I don't have any weapons, and my Paradigms, Practices, and Tools in the Notes field.... since I don't have any notes?

It looks like there isn't a WOD die roller. Unless that is something you need to enable?

Well that's great about the die roller. I'll look into it.

Would you submit your character to the game?

There are some V20 sheets. With a little work I can probably adapt one to M20.

That would be wonderful.

Gimme till the end of the weekend, maybe Monday.

Cool. Thank you very much.

Alright. Well, I'm no character sheet coding professional, but hopefully this will serve our needs.

Been a bit busy this week, so just had opportunity to check in. So to recap:

Setting is San Antonio, US, present time
[ +- ]
.

Theme/mood - spy-thriller (beginning with it at least).

Characters:

Theta - "musician" Etheretrite

ems - HG?

Skair - a tai chi ecstatic (reminds me of that guy who had a "pay it forward" tai chi youtube channel, massaging random people on the street)

Ma - ??

me - a shook corporate drone?

Also, how do you want to handle the..uuhh.. backstories, i guess you could say. Do we post info about characters here or do we roll similarly to how your V5 chronicle went - base stuff here, exploring it in the prelude/game itself?

Edit: also, gj on the sheet. I've done revised one, but didn't manage to fix the M20, so it's great that it is available!

For your characters I’d like to see brief synopsis of their backstory and personality here. I’d like to do preludes for everyone and explore things further there.

Hey, maybe a funny question but can we take Backgrounds over 5 dots? (It says it's optional, figured I'd at least ask.)
