Character Creation

Is Jack a good "face" character? I am working with our other new player (and I’ll get him to officially apply) on concepts and I’m trying to sort out what types we have. Molly’s the nerd, Calvin’s muscle, is Jack the charming PI like Magnum, or the gruff and scary type?

Erm, more of a lying scumbag type lol I've shared the character so you can have a nosey here if you want

@ mcneils5 (looks mostly good so far, for career is he a scoundrel? Coercion would cost 10 if so plus don't forget to add coordination as a class skill, just need the gear and money spendature plus your DFSF.)

@ Tophu looks good, just need to pick your knowledge area.

@ SpicerAck looks good need to spend your money for equipment (I'm assuming you're getting a heavy jacket since your soak is higher and the custom weapon Tophu was asking about).

What do you mean?

Err pick...

Lets say 30 for a lock pick set in the roll up case. How nice a camera? Like $400 DSLR?

Two things:

One, I still don’t know what you mean by pick my Knowledge area. Are you having knowledge subskills after all? I asked earlier and you’d said we were keeping with a single Knowledge skill.

Two, our fourth player is still nailing down his character choices, but we pulled him in right as he was heading off to Origins, so it may be after the weekend when it’s sorted.

Did you mean this post?
I meant to pick something but don't go to specific (Kansas or Kansas City would be too specific but Geography would be broader), otherwise Knowledge without a broad subject seems a bit broken if you think about it, you'd know academy award winning death scenes in movies just as well as famous underwater basket weavers of the 1950s

I'm not in a rush to get start since I'm flipping a few games I'm running and/or starting at the same time.
If it's for fluff I'd say go with one being 1/2 priced, if it's for a kind of bonus mechanically of some sort let me know and we can check out the item creation rules. Or you can go the cell phone route and mount a lens on the camera. XD

Okay, so you want the setting to have multiple Knowledge skills, but you have not identified what they are?

So you want me to take a stab at it?

Knowledge (Law)
Knowledge (Pop Culture)
Knowledge (Science)
Knowledge (Underworld)

What else?

That's kind of the thing if I state "These are the 12 knowledge skills" that will slot you into thinking (these are the only 12 period) if there's an area you think makes sense for your PC I'd go with that. If you went with Science from your list it would come up but not so much if you or anyone didn't have it as a knowledge skill, also if you picked Science and no on else had knowledge skills I'm not likely to have a Swedish history knowledge check come up. That make sense.

Make sense 'they' can't watch you on your smart phone if you use a flip phone (it's closed most of the time and no front facing camera).

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing, haven't seen anyone new apply so I guess we're at 3?

Yeah I’m pretty much good to start if everyone else is

My friend who was off at Origins applied to join us (adaygrit).

Yep kinda figured, I'll start generating the opening post while they figure out what they'd like to build for a character.

Got another player request plus asks Adaygrit to redo their character. Hope everyone has a good 4th, my apologies for the slow start.

No problem. I think we are all pretty chill about this.
