OOC: Would diligence roughly correspond to sleight?  I still have the old stats on my sheet.

I feel like at this point it's changed enough that it would make more sense to start over with your stats than to try matching old ones to new ones.  You get one at +3, two at +2, two at +1, and the last one at +0.

Sounds like the time has come for us to read the manual again.

I don't remember which version I've shared here before, but this is the most current one that I've put online - https://docs.google.com/docume...pof=true&sd=true

(I've put more revisions in my personal copy but that hasn't gone online yet - what I posted here should be good enough to cover most needs for now)

Just remembered - while you're rebuilding characters, don't forget that you actually have 3 stunts (I think I had said 1 originally, but that was a mistake).  You can leave up to 2 of those blank if you want and fill them in at the moment that it becomes convenient.

Will do.

Sorry about the delay.  I still need to download your pdf and take care of business.

No worries

Okay, I bought the pdf.  Will read it soon.

I don't mind you buying, but I did send you a free download link...

As I recall, I had some trouble with.  But it doesn’t matter; the important thing is that I have the pdf now.

Ah, sorry about that.  I appreciate your dedication :)

Would you say that the old Wisdom approach roughly corresponds to Restraint?

No, Restraint is more like the old Prudence.  Wisdom doesn't have a clear analogue in the final version, but I guess if you're trying to go 1:1 as much as possible then Instinct might be your best bet.

If you're not sure, you can also look through the sample stunts on p27 of the pdf and see which ones map onto which virtues, and see if that helps you decide how you want to rebuild your character.  Honestly I think that was one of the most helpful parts for me as the designer to get my head around how I wanted to divide and define the different virtues.

Dear Prudence... why don't you come out to play?

Sorry, I know this is a game of heavy metal, but I've been on a Beatles bender lately...

No worries, you'll still earn those blisters on your fingers :)

Bit belated but Happy Holidays all & Happy Upcoming New Year!

Thanks, you too!

Happy New Year, everybody.

Pretty soon, I'll take another look at my stats and try to figure out how to translate them for the new system.  For whatever reason, I keep getting thrown for a loop when I do this.

If you can articulate what's making this hard for you i might be able to help, but I realize it could just be One Of Those Things.

Of course, the other option is to forget about the old stats and rebuild from scratch.

What do you say Geez? Reboot (start from scratch) or rebuild - (keep on with the old stats)?

Well that's not quite what I meant - I was talking about rebuilding the same character but starting fresh with the new system, rather than trying to determine which old stats map most closely to which current stats (and it isn't a 1:1 connection).

But since you bring it up, these characters altogether, and possibly the current storyline as well, I would also be open to that.

Yeah, I'd be fine with just continuing the same storyline using the new system.

I think I've figured it out: I can only work effectively on my new character sheet if I'm listening to Dio (or Dio with Sabbath).

Here's what I came up with for stats (so far):

Passion: +1
Restraint: +3
Instinct: +1
Sleight: +2
Accord: 0
Force: +2

Alright, that certainly works.

Rosie, how are you feeling with stats right now?
