If violence isn't your last resort, you haven't resorted to enough of it.

Please keep in mind that Scholarship is the skill that reflects your character's knowledge of history, cultures, literature and languages.  It also should reflect your character's mundane education.

Most police detectives and definitely all FBI have a bachelor's degree.  Many have additional degrees related to their specialties.

Do you think I should up his Scholarship? It's already better than average.

In reply to Atsa Spotted-Horse (msg # 3):

Actually, I think it's at average right now.   I would suggest bumping it up to at least +2.  Good would also be reasonable.  Scholarship is the skill that you use for forensics, law and academic research.  Scholarship would be used to find out if there outstanding warrants on an NPC.  Which seem like things that would be important for Asta's FBI skill set.

The other thing is Empathy.  I think FBI agents have special training on how to read people.   Keep in mind that Empathy is a social defense roll and helps Asta know when someone is lying to him.

Hello, hello, nice to be here

Okay, bumped it up one.

He actually uses Rapport for that.It is noted as both the 'good cop' skill and as the go-to skill for social defense.

Welcome Branwen.

Alright then.  As long as you have a plan :)

I will start individual threads as people finish.  So get cracking on your aspects, stunts and skills.

Please ask for help as you need it and we'll get this plot rolling ASAP.

Looking for a volunteer for my first guest-story. Any takers?

Sure

I would recommend having Empathy on your skill list somewhere.

Director, thanks for letting me join your game! This is a character I've wanted to play for a while. I did get him into a game here years ago, but it died before the first scene played out.

Are we based in a particular city? Or are we from all over and will be pulled together for various tasks?

In reply to Warren Reese (msg # 11):

I will pull you together for the initial chapter.

Don't worry about starting location.    Scholarship, and Contacts rolls can be used to get background information.  NPC's and places of business can be strategically moved as needed.

i had it backwards, i thought you wanted me to guest star in your story, sorry,

Greeting! Looking forward to playing with you all. I'm in the middle of helping my sister move but I hope to be able to post more tonight.

Hi all.  I'm looking for story connections as well.

Aria's story will take place when Aria first coming to North America and met Nootau, an Algonquin medicine man.  Or at least the ghost of one.  He asked her to help him track down his medicine bag, which had been taken from his burial site for some nefarious purpose.

Warren's story is ready for Guest Stars. And I need to Guest Star in a couple of your stories. If you have any idea as to how I could fit into your story or you could fit into mine, let me know.

FYI I am unable to post on weekends. I can check the boards and read, but as I'm limited to a tablet, I can't really post. If this changes, I'll let you know.

In reply to Aria O'Baird (msg # 15):

Your guest-story works for me, Atsa can provide Rez connections there. Sending you a PM.
