The Sleeper Game

I got tired of waiting for folks to spend their XP so I did it for them. I have updated Dan's Leech, Kelly's El Mar and Steve's Dudley.

I was considering making some changes to Dave's Malachai Mercury but I am holding off until I see him played again. I do need a final list of his known rituals so that we can lock it down.

I currently have the following listed:

Burning Blood (Rank 1)
Heat Vision (Rank 1)
Healing Flames (Rank 2)
Heat Stroke (Rank 2)
Bolt of Fire (Rank 3)
Fire in the Blood (Rank 3)
Fire Shield (Rank 3)
Summon Fire Elemental (Rank 3)
Sword of Fire (Rank 3)
Fires of Creation (Rank 4)
Summon Greater Fire Elemental (Rank 4)
Summon Elder Fire Elemental (Rank 5)

The next time we play this (soon), I want to have the players switch characters for a few sessions to see how they play in different peoples' hands.

New HEX Game

We started a new HEX game last night. Steve and Dave will need to make characters. These are standard HEX characters (15 Attributes, 15 Skills, 1 Talent or Resource, 15 XP).

The year is 1935. Action starts in New York City.

I randomly assigned each player an occupation.

Steve's will be Veterinary Surgeon.
Dave's will be Assembly Line Worker.

Bruce is an Anthropologist who works for NYU.
Randy is a Legal Secretary.
Kelly is a Mechanic.
David is an Accountant who works for the Treasury Department.
Alan is a Sailor.

Anvil Character Details

In an attempt to be a better GM, it has occurred to me that I should make an effort to learn your characters' names and call them by that rather than just the player's name.

For the Anvil game, please provide me with your character's name, class(es)/level and any archetypes you have taken.

Who are we expecting tomorrow?

Who and how many attend will determine what we play.

XP for Supers Characters

It has been a while since we played our Ubiquity Supers games and I would like to get back to it.

Three characters still need to spend their 18 XP. They are Dudley (Steve), El Mar (Kelly) and Leech (Dan). I will gladly spend the points for you if I can get a better idea on what you would like to improve.

The rest of the players spent their XP in this manner:

Ankou (Alan) - Raised Intelligence by 1 and purchased the Medicine skill.

Dog (Randy) - Raised Body by 1 and purchased a skill specialization for Empathy.

Malachai (Dave) - Purchased Intimidate, Larceny, Medicine, Stealth and Survival skills and raised Academics and Investigation by 1.

Sheriff (David) - Purchased Larceny, Medicine, Riding and Stealth skills and raised Brawl and Drive by 1. 3 XP unspent.

Zookeeper (Bruce) - Purchased Powers Flight 2, Swim, Tail 1 and Tail 2 in his Power Reserve. 6 XP unspent.

It is an option to proceed without spending your XP but one of my next play testing goals is to have you switch characters for a few session. Not sure how fair it would be to the other player. I suppose that player could spend your XP if you cannot decide.

I will print copies of the updated characters for the next time we play.

Next Tuesday

What are we doing next week? Will Dan be back and ready to run? If not, am I running or does someone else want to take a turn?

Tuesday march 26

I hear from his father that Dan will NOT be at gaming this week.
I don't know if Dan was going to warn us, but ...

Perhaps Keith can continue the off-the-cuff adventure he started last week. The Anvil Chronicles.
