Paro Posted March 26 Clone Share Posted March 26 (edited) SWADE Character Generation: Start at Novice using 15 Skill Points for Modern Setting Human for Race choice No Focus/Occult/Spellcasting/Weird Science Skills. No Arcane Background, Beast Bond, Beast Master, Chi, Champion, or Power Edges Game Start will begin during the pandemic breakout, so backgrounds would assume a reason to be in Deltaville area and outfitting would have to make sense in a pre-pandemic environment. The first chapter will start on day 1 of the pandemic, the characters will not have prior knowledge.

KingGoblin Posted March 28 Clone Share Posted March 28 Thinking of applying with a veterinarian, if just because I am pretty sure we will need someone with medical skills, and it is the first thing that comes to mind. On that note, what are your thoughts on Weird Edges, specifically Beast Master, in a semi-realistic modern day game like this?

Paro Posted March 28 Author Clone Share Posted March 28 Vet sounds good. If the Weird Edge is linked to Supernatural then I am thinking no. Beast Bond, Beast Master, Chi, and Champion are all trying to mirror D&D archetypes. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that he adopted a retired police dog, since weed is legal now in VA, and all the drug sniffing dogs suddenly became useless and many of them came up for adoption. If not, that's fine too, but I wasn't thinking of making, say, a cop or survivalist or soldier or anything that would normally have high survivability in zombieland, so I thought a dog would go with the theme, let him have a friend that would make him more capable, while still being believable.

I don't see a problem with the pet dog out of starting funds. Might even be possible to acquire one in game too.

Paro Posted March 30 Author Clone Share Posted March 30 I added a reference thread for Deltaville since the game will start there. I included some information on the nearest Community College as well. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGoblin Posted March 30 Clone Share Posted March 30 Yeah, I figure there will be packs of wild dogs roaming before long. I don’t think there is a way to tame or train animals in this system, though. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sxeBUDDHA Posted March 30 Clone Share Posted March 30 (edited) There are Edges that grant an animal companion or a sidekick. Some GM's choose to incorporate certain elements or mechanics in their campaign or setting. Also, everything depends on the GM allowing for anything. Like barracuda with freaking laser beams can be possible. LOL In two other TWDU rpg PbP games, I chose to play a pc with a dog companion. One is a correctional officer in the Ozarks with a trained guard dog in his backstory. Dog is a gear with a bonus +2 to Close Combat. The other pc is a 13 yo girl scout w/ Maxed starting Leadership skill in Massachusetts. In a Call of Cthulhu PbP game, I play a 1920's famous actress with 1 personal assistant, 3 dog companions, and 1 talking bird named Merlin. She's trained in Animal Handling 75%.

EpentheticSchwa Posted April 4 Clone Share Posted April 4 Man, I'm apparently on the same page as other folks. When I first went to post my character concept, I had the exact same stat layout as somebody and went "ehh, let me fiddle a bit." I came *this* close to flopping to an acrobat or acrobat-adjacent concept. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paro Posted April 9 Author Clone Share Posted April 9 (edited) Looks like @sxeBUDDHA is ready How are your apps coming, @EpentheticSchwa, @OsmundCinderholt and @NorthOfOrdinary ?

Paro Posted April 9 Author Clone Share Posted April 9 (edited) Btw, Game start In Character will be Saturday March 30 at 6pm, location: https://delta-pie.com/ So at the end of your background stories, there should be a realistic reason for your characters to be at that location.
