Well, I know the hx question is not the same for all roles. As for my question, my character name is Cassia. The question I will ask is this: Which one of you put a hand in when it mattered, and helped me save a life? As for Isabella's question itself, answer is Yes. (And do I need to answer everyone else's question as well? Sorry if I don't know how this works exactly.)

In my playbooks, it says that I can ask one, two or three. (For hx purpose). So yeah, I wanted to know how to proceed in that case. Also to find other's questions... x.x

You just pick one of them, ask it here and see who answers. We have each only done one so far, not sure if we are doing the others after you get your first answered.

So healing touch is NOT affected by Sixth sense, which rolls sharp instead of weird whenever "opening brain to maelstrom" happens? I do think Professional Compassion and Battlefield Grace would fit well in such case. And yeah, as Chiyako says above. It seems... weird. :D Other than that, how would I even start going for Hx questions? Here or somewhere else? And I don't know if I'm missing anything else...

@Warning The question about Jazz and Yuka refers mostly to this post. It's just setup I believe for the beginning of the game. Sixth Sense feels like it would also fit with something like Healing Touch since it does mention in the description about opening your brain and someone else's to the maelstrom, but I think @WritesNaughtyStories would have to confirm that. I think that is more just a way to describe using the weird powers of the world. That would work for armor, I think. Its pretty flexible what people's armor is, as long as it makes sense and fits the amount it might grant. Oddments worth 2 barter is just general rando

I think it works well looking at it that way too, yeah. For Kiyo as an example I went with: Cool +1 (Because she can keep chill under pressure but also maybe sometimes she loses her cool, especially if she gets a little explosion happy.) Hard +3 (When she does focus on her shooting she locks in, and when she locks in she is actually dangerous.) Hot -2 (Too dumb and too shy and timid to seduce, especially when it comes to strangers or people she just doesn't trust.) Sharp +2 (She is good at scavenging and scouting, and has a good eye for her surroundings, developed from her youth and her long range gunslinging.) Weird -1 (Too

Cool+2 because she will not mind trying to save someone in the middle of fire. Hard=0 seems fair for not trying to pick a fight. Hot-1 (After realizing what the stat meant) because she will not try to seduce or manipulate her way out of a situation. Sharp+2 because well... Smart and good at her job not sure. And weird-1 because yeah, not weird. :P

I think it fits really well personally. A medic. One of our weird crew of mutants. Background setting fits. Mostly a matter of if it fits the character you wanna make. Definitely feels more leaning away from the weird stat type of medic, which I feel is what you were trying to go for.

I've generated pictures for DAYS. and honestly, every times I return to normal pictures, I feel weird not feeling the "vibes" of the story. So I found: I dunno for sure if I'll use this one but for an angel, she seems to fit the Cool+2 Hard=0 Hot-1 Sharp+2 Weird-1 that I want perfectly. Thoughts?

The Hx answers make some connections, but beyond that, yeah, it is not clear how connected they are other than Leon and Jasmine. Some or all of them might know each other, but have to see to what extent there is an actual preexisting group.

I don't think we've really fully established how we as a group came together quite yet (although Leon and Jasmine are a bit closer on this note, since Leon holds her leash). I think that stuff gets established more in the game? Or I imagine if people decided they wanted to flesh out more of their background with one another on a case by case basis? Right now I think it is more assumed that we are something of a crew and more of that gets explored through the questions we ask and in the course of the game itself. This is more what do you think your character might do in this specific situation (so during one of Jasmine's gigs what might y

Yeah, I know I overthink a lot. It's not that big of a deal but I hate feeling unsure about things. (Which I always do. XD) Other choices were Seraphina or Astra. I appreciate your input though. I suppose I will never find a name if I search for a "better" one anyway. The curse of being unsure all the time AND indecisive. I hate the feeling. Btw, what I read of your post is really just a cover for "What were your character doing? Period." XD I mean, I get that Jazz/Yuka seems to be a plot point in the timeline but I guess it just mean "Up until the start point, what was the character doing?" Yeah yeah, overthinking again :P Anyhow

Quoting Jasmine’s profile so it can be seen easier. That profile and Cassia eventually have to be copied to character thread too. Though Cassia especially could wait until you have everything figured out and put together.

I don't think it was elaborated on who Yuka (or Bozzman) is. They seem just to be people at the gig that we were asked if were seen for maybe some early story implications.

I imagine I still have the time to change the name if I want to? Because I am trying to work on something right now. Trying to find a good healer/angel name. :P

Sorry! I think I was rushing while I replied. Am busy doing other stuff too. I've editted my mistake! Jazz should be Jasmine. @DreamsnThings character. They are The Show, a post-apocalypse bard with traveling music set. The setup that @WritesNaughtyStories gave us originally was: We've answered our portions of that question, for setting up the beginning plot and setting of the game, so they were also trying to set up your character into the scene as well. So far our replies have been the following (just so you don't need to go searching for them): Kiyo's Reply: Jasmine's Reply: Violetta's Reply: Leon'

The name should be Cassia, not Cassie. Although, I admit I asked chatgpt for this one and they gave me a name that's supposedly related to recovery, battlefield medic like and angelic XD I mean, I am sure that Cassie or Cass might make good "nicknames". Still insecure about trying to find names and my inner side prays it's a good one for her... x.x Also, despite your explanation, I still have no idea who Jazz (Jasmine?) and Yuka are or what they did and if my character was even partly relevant. With the lack of a set infirmary, she is a wandering healer, I guess? I don't know much if I can make a grand story for her. Not even sure if she

@Warning We can say that Kiyo assisted and put a hand in when it mattered, and helped save a life! She enjoys being useful and totally wasn't just doing it for praise and/or treats! @WritesNaughtyStories Should I be asking another one of my questions now that it seems everyone has gone through and had a turn? Although I suppose Warning still needs to answer the setup question regarding what Cassia was doing during Jazz's gig and if they saw where Yuka went. Some of us have already answered our own questions regarding that Warning, if you need examples as well!

Yeah, I just realized it was only one question for the Battlebabe. After you get your first answer, it will just be 3 of us asking more questions. Though Dreams and Isabella can answer our questions.

Each question gets asked and answered once - Violetta just asks the same question multiple times.

We each just picked one of them, unless the book said otherwise (Isabella had to ask to a certain one first, and for Dreams it was only figuring out who started with the leash). It does not matter which for you, me or Chiyako.

Just ask your question. If you want to answer mine, it's the same for everyone: can I trust you?

@WritesNaughtyStories Warning does have a move that they could take called Sixth Sense: Sixth Sense: when you open your brain to the world’s psychic maelstrom, roll+sharp instead of +weird. Would that let them use Sharp instead of Weird for Healing Touch? I believe that was one of Warning's earlier questions.

You are the only one who has not had a chance to ask one of you Hx questions yet. Should probably do that too, and see who answers.

@Warning So Highlighted Stats play into improvement and experience gathering. Whenever you roll a highlighted stat, and whenever you reset your Hx with someone, you mark an experience circle. When you mark the 5th, you improve your character (effectively level them up and choose an Improvement from your sheet's list) and then erase experience. There are other things like certain moves that can affect this too I believe (like seducing someone, for instance). It says at the end of your sheet what happens as far as highlighting goes at the start. So for Angel at the end of the Hx section: At the end, choose one of the characters with the highest

Edmund Blackwood departed the hall without hurry and without looking back. He had extended the invitation as if it were the most natural thing in the world - his casino would be open, the night would continue elsewhere, and those who wished for calm could find it there. Then he was gone, the weight of his presence lifting from the stage like a pressure change. The shift was immediate. Deputy Boone straightened the moment Edmund’s back disappeared into the crowd. Boone’s shoulders rolled outward and his chin lifted again. He stepped down off of the stage proper, boots thudding against the steps, reclaiming space with a territorial ea

Riiight, barter = trade item or something. It's like a kind of money, I guess. I saw some people start with 4 or 6 oddments. I know we get like 4 class moves in total. Well, at least for angel. Start with 2 and if I stay in the non-weird, professional compassion and battlefield grace would work. One for the coolness, the other for class stat based "support" It would make sense that infirmary IF I get there is something I only get later. And sixth sense might also work later as I develop, question mark. Still curious about if sixth sense is SUPPOSED to be used with healing touch for a sharp angel, though. Considering that healing touch is

Okay so I tried searching everything and I dunno who Jazz or Yuka are. XD I imagine they are just some NPCs who did something. (Not sure of what importance.) Also, I wonder if Sixth Sense also affect Healing Touch. I will have to admit I don't have any idea what "Opening brain to maelstrom" means and I tried to read the playbook to understand it. I don't see how it "helps" me do my job, especially in the sense where I'd use sharp instead. Because I have no idea what the whole brain thing actually does for me in this game. As for gear, the whole angel kit thing, a stun gun seems appropriate. (To actually help people and not try to ki

I will have to reread a few things because I was hella busy this week. (As in, it was an exhausting week. Or month, even...) I'll check the playbook, too.

i was going off the thought that we had been fucking and have known each other for several months if not years personally I... will mention the leash mechanic is described/intended to be less literal than having someone constantly holding it... its more of a BDSM pet play kinda thing where i give up a lot of my autonomy and decision making power and become basically your follower in a sense, in exchange for you taking care of me in multiple ways (note i both spend your money mechanically, and generate money as well) aside from that, being similar to the woman in your tribe sounds reasonable to me this is fine, it may lead to s

Riiight. "For that character". And everyone else gets hx+1. OKAY that makes sense now. One who already answered another question COULD answer one from another character no? Since only the question begs for one characters. Point is, should we not just ask all questions we want in a single post? To get a highlight, we just need a character with most hx.

So for this system we have each question more or less answered by only one other person, because each question has a related Hx amount (which is a way to kind of show how well you might think you know another character). It also builds unique little things between individual characters that they might not share with another. For example, Kiyo doesn't trust Violetta as much since she left Kiyo bleeding (which was one of Kiyo's questions that Violetta answered). So Kiyo starts with Hx-2 with Violetta. And I also tied that into her backstory (which I might try to do with the others as stuff is asked further). It says after each questio

Right. So if we're somehow "related", either by crew stuff. OR by knowing each others somehow, I'd gladly make up a story for that. I assume this is why Hx questions make sense. However, from what I get, I think hx can be answered by many partners due to how friendship between characters build? It's normally (everyone do a turn of table to see each characters know each others) so it's not just 1 answer per question. The way we're currently doing this seems to be very odd when it comes to actual systems. Or do I get this wrong? You can normally also ask all questions available in ONE turn. as the playbook says: Go around again for Hx. On

With the above, since you answered the last one, I think it is my turn to ask the next question, then you ask one after that. I'll pick one of those shortly.

And we're simply taking turns until all the questions are asked. Once an Hx question is asked and answered someone other than one of those two people ask one of your questions.

When they use the move "Open Your Brain" "Sixth Sense" applies. "Healing Touch" is a separate move that can trigger "Open Your Brain" which would roll +sharp if you have "Sixth Sense", but "Healing Touch" rolls +weird.

No one really knows what the Maelstrom is. Maybe it's the screaming anguish of the dead world, maybe it's the hopes of all the people living in the grave of what used to be. Maybe it's all of our minds. What we do know is we can reach into it and sometimes it shows us things we want and how to get them. Sometimes it leaves us screaming and crying. Healing touch allows an angel to lay their bare hand on another person's skin and heal them. You roll 2d6 + weird (in your case -1) on a 6 or less bad things come from the Maelstrom, on a 7-9 you heal the person for 1 and make an "Open your Brain" move and roll. On a 10+ you heal them and

Guilty. When I feel up to it, I have a falafel and pita I always enjoy. I make the dough for the pita and while it's resting, I whip up the falafel batter. Set that aside to firm up just a little and make my hummus. Then it's frying the falafel while I cook the pita. Bring it all together with chopped tomato, some onion I set aside to pickle that week, and kalamata olives if I splurged on any. Mmmm... kinda putting myself in the mood for it, actually. Maybe tonight. The next person has a favorite song that they could listen to multiple times a week without complaint.

All right, @Warning, pick your angel moves and gear and tell me what you were doing during Jazz's gig last night. Did you see where Yuka went?

Things get a bit less hectic as the teams pause due to a minor accident, but luckily no one seems really hurt. Time-out is still in place until the situation is dealt with, giving the other players and coaches a small window of time to catch their breaths and reevalutate and the like. The quartet don't want to make their ogling TOO obvious, so they try to not stare at Ezria nonstop and too intensively. Of course, their attention towards is still apparent and clear, so the player is likely well aware of how she has gotten their eyes on her more than what seem like normal fans and onlookers. As she gives them a wave, they perk up quite a b
