[sic] First Thoughts on SET B

[Filip Luszczyk]

Heh, don't sweat it with the title, if you like it as it is

Why two attributes for each suit?

[Reprobus]

Because I think, I need 2 kind of attributes. One for deciding if the character's action was successful or not, and the second one as a registry on the character's personality. Was this an answer, or did I just said the same thing as in my previous post?

This is just an idea. Is there a problem with separating the suits this way? (the first 9 cards to measure the attributes of the first group / the last 4 cards for the character's personality)

[Christian Liberg]

Hehe i really love it, im in the process of creating one such gm less game, where i revolve the narrative constantly.

People already said all the things i thought of when i read your idea for system ( in fact they are all way better at systems than i am, just trying to duck under ) So im just going to say the following, perhaps you could use a poker hand for the start? five card draw replace any given number of cards? dont know if it works for you, but it would fit the western theme.

Concerning the Personality marks and the sociopath, one thing came to mind. What if the sociopath thought that pirates where somehow able to steal his personality marks, or rather, what if they actually could?

Oh, ok, now the way you want to use cards makes sense to me. I misinterpreted it initially.

[Reprobus]

ok, I'll try to work with the poker hand idea. in this case the characters will have the personality marks but no other attributes. The cards with the numbers will give the amount of points a player can spend on auctions.

I forgot to ask (I really miss the Edit option), do you have any ideas how to use the All In option?

[Christian Liberg]

All in is a tough one, to convert to the mechanics i think, especially if you decide to hold on the three players max?

Perhaps you could use the all in function as a way of diminishing the impact of the antagonists action.

example.

Killer: im waiting in the shadow, until the thieving no good critter(pirate) is in front of me, and then i cleave him in two. bet 5
Pirate( only has 3 points ):at the dumbest luck i trimble as the blade slices the air, causing the blade to bide down into the back of my shoulder, cutting the muscle. bet all in. Which would make all in a pretty much last defense kind of thing.

Nah think i would scrap the all in idea ( will think further though )

[Filip Luszczyk]

I'm not perfectly sure about it, but maybe it could be more interesting if the objectives were open, or if the player was given an objective from someone else (the GM, probably)?

[Vulpinoid]

I've tried to work out a poker based system for a while.

Rarely with much luck though.

Keep trying, I'd like to see where this goes.
