[schrodingers war] - playtest Prep
Sydney, Andrew and I are prepping a SW playtest.
It's not completely done yet, but we're likely to arrive at the following Prep results (I will not be on for the weekend, so I might be premature, but it will mean the info's not days out of date).
General Prep:
We're running the 'scientific experiment gone bad' sample scenario.
There is no central GM.
We're 3 player, playing 2 'sessions' (not really, but for argument's sake).
That makes for 60 points of goal. We're allowing individual deviation of 20%. (But not making that public).
The Passions are:
Love <> Desire <> Ambition <> Fear <> Obedience
(Obedience reconnect to Love)
The Goals are:
Love: +5 (caring more about fellow man)
Desire: -10 (less blind striving)
Ambition: -20 (less hubris)
Fear: +10 (more carefulness)
Obedience: + 15
The Pillars are:
Love: Christ, 20 AD
Desire: Hassan, 1090 (from the assassins, Alamut, etc.)
Ambition: Apollo/Armstrong, 1969
Fear: Torquemada/Inquisition, 1483
Obedience: WW2 (Nazi party) 1940
My Character:
Guy McFadden
Core Passion: Love
IP: 40 (I made a mistake in the .pdf. There will be a different formula for initial IP depending on nr of players and number of sessions and possibly the allowed deviation from the core goal as well).
Reason for becoming Archivist: Love for his wife & children - he doesn't want to see them horribly hurt by the experiment malfunction.
What was important to him: His work, and his family. He’s a humanist, ethical, caring, a vegetarian. His primary interest outside work&family were flora and fauna, but in a hands-on fashion.
Skills during life: Mechanical and Quantum Mechanical engineering, Zoology, Herbology.
Type: Passionate Insight:
• Secondary Passion: Fear
• Transcendent Power: Mentor
• Transcendent Power: Bestow skillset: good with plants+animals
