Truth be told if someone selected Hot for Kiyo I wouldn't mind. It'd be funny to see her trying to struggle with it. Maybe during that session she needs to try to seduce or manipulate her way out of a situation. Or maybe she decides to try her hand at practicing it. Could be ways to use it, or for the MC to use it to make things more interesting. Also the good part about it is that you don't need to succeed on the roll to get the experience, you just need to attempt the roll for something using that stat. It just encourages you to play your character in different ways, or for the MC to try to put you into situations that are maybe unfavo

Well. I missed a lot having to be in meetings in the office all day.

Well, I’m going to be out for a few hours soon starting in around 20 minutes. See if there are any updates when I’m back. One way or another, I’m still up for trying something with all this.

Didn't know we were playing competitively. Always fun to try and have some fun developing characters but be told, "sorry can't let you do that so if you don't like it, get out." I mean, I know some of you don't like me anyway so no surprises there. I was not asking for any advantage over anyone else. Just to develop my characters the way I saw it. I have my reasons to see what can be wrong about that system. Not at home so writing this quickly before work but yeah. Say what you want, I just hoped to have some fun with this my way. Always enjoy the "nice" responses I get. Whatever. I'll see whatever you think about this later and not try

Remember the dice mechanics: Roll 2d6+Stat. Your result ranges are: 6 or less = Miss (negative consequences) 7–9 = Weak Hit (success with cost/complication) 10 or more = Strong Hit (full success) So if someone is getting +3 to a roll, the LOWEST they could get is 5. Statistically they have an 8.33% chance to roll a total of 2 or 3 for a result of 6 or less, so they have a 91.67% chance of success EVERY time they roll. That person is going to kick ass with that stat, often with unforeseen side consequences (33.33% of the time), but they'll still succeed. Conversely, someone with a -1 to a stat will fail (roll a t

@SataiRolePlayingGuy look at her sheet. +3 hard and acts as a small gang in combat. Add to that her weapon load out (that sniper rifle with AP ammo is NASTY) Kiyo is death with a cute butt. She's a murder bunny, she really is.

i need to know all of leons hx, but i start with 2 hx with leon if that helps?

Then don't play. It's how the game works. The whole point is there's no fighting Kiyo. It's almost impossible for her to lose a fight. If she chooses violence, there's almost nothing anyone can do about it. We all know that. Seeing Kiyo kill shit is going to be about as surprising as things falling when you drop them. Kiyo trying NOT to choose violence is far more interesting. Every playbook has things they're not great at - Violetta is cool and hot, problem is, Go Aggro leaves people the option of fighting her. She has -1 hard. People standing hard against her is interesting, but she's actually not great at it. While we're here, Vi

Still... A bit crazy to try and pull that off. If it was me, I'd select a stat that someone seems to have gone for (For obvious reasons). I mean, someone CAN try and pull that off on me and I will show how I will just not level up. XD I'm there to try and shape my character how I want her to be. (DnD style or something.) Like, imagine asking someone to select a "most interesting" stat, and they choose a -1 one. I brace for it but I will not really change the way I plan to play my character for it. "Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer."

I think part of why they have it this way is to encourage people to maybe try to play around in ways that utilize the stats they don't focus on, to maybe have a session where your character explores deeper into territory they aren't used to dealing with. Sort of an incentive to do that. Completely optional, and there are other ways to gain experience. You also get two stats highlighted so it isn't like you are completely hamstrung.

This will be a part I really dislike since highlight means stats that make you level up. And someone could just decide to use your less used stats for giggles. Not saying anyone would and I probably have trust issues but I don't like the idea of choosing stats highlight of our character being a choice made by another person. It feels wrong...

Watching Kiyo attempt to be seductive will be pretty fun! Although it looks like things might have taken a bit of a turn here. Well. From my understanding after catching up and then going back and re-reading things. . . @Warning Nobody is forcing you to run your character any differently. Highlighting a stat is a suggestion if nothing else, a sort of reward for playing your character in ways that they might not be fully kitted out for. Even then, you aren't necessarily going to be highlighting only your worst stats. For example Kiyo so far is highlighting both her best and her worst. If I use either of those I mark experience,

It rewards interesting rather than easy. That's why when you roll a highlighted stat - not succeed or fail, when you attempt - you get rewarded. It's doesn't nerf what you're good it, it doesn't, necessarily, not reward you doing what your good at. What highlights do is allow the table to say, "Let's see you do ~whatever~" and hands out rewards if you choose to engage with the rest of the table. You'll figure it out with Warning's help, I'm sure. I'm off to write futa porn.

I’m not very good at this, but will give my input, see if I can help. I think everyone ultimately does still want to play this. It isn’t that they can’t do what they are good at. For example I’m sure Kiyo will be fighting at times, the impression I get is the system is more about seeing how characters get up to things they are not good at it, see how they handle it and try to encourage people to have fun with that.

Yes. That's what the rules say. When did I say You know what, fuck it. You run it.

I hadn't actually decided that, and I'm supposed to go after the players, but yes. Let's see that gun bunny be sexy!

Hopefully it is just a bit of miscommunication/misunderstanding/learning the system. I do hope everyone sticks with it. It does look like an interesting adjustment compared to what I’m used to, but one that looks like it could be fun/interesting.

Huh? In the context of your larger complaint about me being mean or not liking you, I don't like how you're approaching the rest of the game. No one asked you to leave, I asked you to play the game. There's only one of us saying, "I'm not doing that." The game is a shared conversation with boundaries and expectations and that's the fundamental agreement. You don't get to redraw the boundaries, change the rules or dictate (no matter how passive-agrrssively) the expectations.

Am I getting that Kiyo should highlight Hot for your choice? That'll be me! Go ahead and highlight Hot. I'm interested in what sort of manipulations Jasmine might attempt against people.

That is Kiyo, I have my Hx list on the profile sheet and copied it a few posts back.

oh! lets go with.... cool? it feels like she knows what shes doing, what she wants, and where to get it. she feels like a precision instrument :3 ... i believe the MC will pick one of my highlights, well the highest HX will be the other... and since im copying leons HX and his is only a +2, i need to know who has his +3... which would be whoever answered his "which of you most evidently dislikes or distrusts me" question

Yeah, I've been focused on the character creation. I have to go back and reread the game mechanics stuff that I skimmed over when the idea was first suggested.

Hard highlighted. @DreamsnThings - Jasmine gets to pick my other highlighted stat. Let me know what you choose! :)

We have ours copied on the character bios. Kiyo gets to pick yours too: "Hx: Which one of you have I been watching carefully, in secret? Violetta. Hx+2. Which one of you most evidently dislikes and distrusts me? Kiyo. Hx+3. Which one of you has slept in my presence (knowingly or un-)? Jasmine. Hx+2." I'll admit I did not, still figuring out how everything works. Figured I was helping but did not know Kiyo was that good at it. I might consider something else for Kiyo, but have to think about it a little. Maybe stick with hot if I don't say something else by the end of the day.

Either grabbing a bulb of garlic or a ball of wool (Yarn). ... Neither of which I usually keep in the bedroom. Shit.

I'll be stubborn on this and never try for rolling weird anyway. :P Character has been geared exactly for like one or two stats. If those are not highlight then character growth will just not happen. And I may joke with my quote but I know this can probably lead to people thinking I'm boring. Some people have fun by different means, I guess. Funny thing is, character NOT growing IS also character growth. To explain, even if everyone else grew (along with enemies or etc being stronger), the lack of "unnatural" growth means my character will be just her old self in a dangerous world that was bound to claim her life sometimes anyway. Just e

I shall respond tomorrow if nobody else has!

@SataiRolePlayingGuy I kind of want to see what sort of weird things Leon does during this first session, so I'm going to elect Weird. Wait if Jasmine gets the same Hx's does that mean I choose Jasmine's as well?

Got a vague idea of what that gear should be, but I was not sure if it qualifies as ‘armor-1’, which the book says can optionally be included. Was thinking some sort of hide suit, made from a particularly significant hunt amongst his tribe. The chest piece maybe being thicker, more protective. Also looks like Kiyo is the one who gets to my stat. As for Leon’s choice for Kiyo, I’m still figuring this all out, what is best choices for things, but I think I will choose Hard.

I think we're close. I may have a chance to get an initial post up tomorrow.

I still have that piece of gear to decide. Dreams might still be deciding some stuff for Jasmine. Then see if WriesNaughtyStories has any other questions of his own to ask. Will see about the gear and the Kiyo stat question tonight.

Jumi continued to nudge Mitsuko along. “It feels so good doesn’t it? It doesn’t matter that they are demons. Maybe because they are demons. Just for tonight, no harm getting more into it.” She was partially encouraging Mitsuko, but partially curious what was going through her mind. Did Mitsuko feel like she did a little while ago. “You want it, don’t you? Don’t want her to pull out? Your body craves it. Sure it is more dangerous than Shinigami. But we have already crossed that line, let demons cum inside us. It is a little risky, but not compared to what we have already done. This might be the only night you ever take the risk.
