Character Creation

Somewhere to discuss character creation; which playbooks would people like to go for and - once we've sorted that - threshing out the details.

Happy with anything from the main rulebook or the 'season' books which have been released (though not 'the Martian' as I really don't like that take on things).

Also happy for Playbooks to be tinkered with cosmetically as you see fit. Absolutely happy with gender swapping them as you may wish or other reskinning as long as the mechanics are largely unchanged.

Hello all.  I am looking at either the American or the Legacy as a template.

Hi all!

I'm looking at playing either the Explorer or the Undeniable.

Hello everyone! I find the Factotum, the Mother, the Undeniable, and the Vessel all equally interesting.

Looks like everyone gets their first choice; assuming that people were listing in order of preference?

I listed mine alphabetically rather than by preference.

Fair enough - looks like Player 2 gets their pick of the American or Legacy and only the Undeniable is potentially wanted by two.

Anyone got a burning desire to be the Undeniable? Or equally would someone rather their other choice(s) anyway?

I'll take the Explorer, so Player 3 gets a free choice.

With three other options to choose from, adding a fourth just complicates matters. ^_^

Had an amusing thought about the Vessel: 'sex with dark entities' could be both a ritual offering and a vice!

Absolutely - I suppose it's like overindulging in what you need to do for the dayjob?

Makes it a challenge for a hunter who wants to trigger the Vulnerable move. Would it be Sensitivity or Reason to suss whether she is relaxing with her vice or conducting a ritual? Both would seem to involve the same trappings. ^_^

I do like both American and the Legacy.  I will try the American since I have and idea in my head for that character.  It does seem to be the only character that can be removed from the game on a bad roll each day.  But I will give it a go and keep the Legacy in my pocket just in case

Excellent - so we have an Explorer, an American and then it's Player 3's call on Undeniable, Vessel or Factotum?

Feel free to start working on/discussing/picking names, looks, vices, moves etc. from the playbooks.

I do believe the Vessel wins the no-prize.

So, any thoughts on character details and the like?

In terms of Mastermind I was going to go with the classic - Theodora Braithwaite.

Can you open my character sheet?  You have to make it editable by the player
