group composition

(1/7) > >>

TheMouse:
This is sort of the offspring of the "what would  you make" and "what's your first story" threads. The basic idea is this: What do you think your group will make for its first round of characters? Do you think they'll all end up with the same character type? For the GMs out there, do you plan to try to convince your group to play a certain thing, and if so, what?

My game group is really dynamic, so I'm not sure who's going to be involved. As such, I can't really answer my first couple of questions.  For the last, I'm going to try to convince them to play humans with whatever degree of magical potential. Whether that be wizards, focussed practitioners, or emissaries of power, I'm not too picky.

So, how about you?

prophet224:
Hmmm... let's see.  My group is pretty tight, and we've been playing together for years.  I think I can give a good accounting.

- One will be a changeling, I can say that for sure.
- Another will likely be an PI of some sort, probably without powers.
- One will fight and fight to be the upper limit of whatever she thinks is "cool" at the moment with no downside and as many powers as she can possibly squeeze in. (a la http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/michelle/, and yes it's worth going to look.  Funny!)  She will be disappointed; I'll make sure of it.
- Another will probably also be a mundane PI/Agent... possibly government agent
- One will be some form of Warrior of God, possibly who is an elementary or Sunday school teacher... lots of good options when there are kids around.  BWahahahaha...

Of course, any of them may spontaneously decide to be a mage instead, or throw in a minor talent or something, but I'm pretty sure the above is a close approximation to what we'll get. :)

Diebdazar:
so far in the home version of sotc that I've compiled and am running online on a forum (I'm also using dark inheritance's titan legacies for plot reasons):

- A white court vampiric sorceress
- A strongly prescient wizardress (unknowingly of the Hidden Key legacy)
- A Valkyrie
- A Void Phoenix legacy with the shadow of a denarian in his head
- (maybe) A red court infected who "can make big boom booms with lightning"
- (maybe) An ectomancer who is a former surgeon
- (maybe) A true believer/Warrior of God type
- (maybe) "Something mundane, like a cop, hacker, PI, or the like"

yes I may or may not end up with a big group, and the majority of players are female.

DDR:
My group has started to play around with the Dresden universe using the Spirit of the Century Rules.  So no heavy magic.   The game kind of centers around the down town homeless shelter at this point.

We have:

An ugly semi-brick with unusual powers (the usual for this player)  He is a changeling that looks like the kid from the movie Mask.  16 years old and homeless, he does what he can to help his friends.

A screwed up high class hooker with powers that frighten her; she can’t control and does not want.  (The usual for this player)  A high class hooker has a near death experience and since then she sees dead people who plead for her help.  Sometimes she sees how people are going to die.

A social outsider who heals people (the usual for this player)   A Native American who was raised in the white world until his parents died and then given to his medicine man grandfather who taught him of the magical world.  Not at home on the reservation because he likes the conveniences of the white world.  Not at home in the white world because he knows too much of the old magical ways.  He has unwanted visions that lead him to action.

A gumshoe investigator that sometimes has headaches that lead to visions.  (not the usual for this player)


We are waiting for the magic rules so that these characters can grow some into full powered characters.

TheMouse:
Out of curiosity, what are the point totals you used for char-gen? That is, how many skill points, what distribution for them, how many Stunts, how much refresh, and do Stunts reduce refresh?
