[Desolation] Desolation Discussion

I figured it was mature but didn't know it was controversial! Still, the way the system works seems perfectly geared for the type of play I like!
 
No problems with that here. I'm ready for some more adult oriented stuff! Some gritty bleeding into a pool of gasoline can do a body good.
 
You haven't played AW properly if your PC hasn't lain dying in a pool of gasoline at least once. Per character.
 
I vote we ret-con gasoline to bio-diesel. At least all of it that gets dumped on my characters.


Then again, I did play a Call of Cthulu game where I did dump gasoline on myself and lit myself on fire.... in a barn while the group was sleeping in the hayloft.... My GM told me it was too hot to smell the burning flesh.
 
Sorry for the delays. The lack of laptop means I had to make sure my own games were stable before I could move on. I may not get my character up before Saturday night, but I'll try
 
I was watching a few episodes of Firefly last night and realized that they are a perfect example of an AW band.


Malcolm - Hardholder


Zoe - Battlebabe


Wash - Driver


Inara - Skinner


Jayne - Gunlugger


Kaylee - Savvyhead


Simon - Angel


River - Brainer


Book - Hocus w/o followers (or maybe Touchstone)


Not quite as bleak as a full post-apocalypse world, but their roles are pretty well defined by the splats. Only River and Book are the stretch, unless you consider that Book adopted the rest of the crew as his small group of followers.
 
You'll notice that the new thread will be marked as an IC thread. While that is true, AW is a very conversational game. There really is no division between OOC and IC while playing and I intend to hold true to that.


During the game I'll be asking a lot of questions. Again, since this is conversational, everything will be right out in the open, no spoilers.


Instead of sessions, the game will be broken into Chapters. There will be around two scenes per chapter depending on their length. Session-based bits will instead be Chaoter-based. As an example, highlighting stats will happen once per Chapter.


If this setup doesn't work out, we'll change it as we see fit.
 
While we wait fo the last few, I'm going to start the game by asking questions.


You're all done making characters which completes your setup. Mine will take longer. Probably the whole first Chapter. So bear with me as we start out slow and build our game.
