Paradox Redux Interest, the Overcast Version

Overcast · 10-20-2013, 10:12 AM

Interest is still being gauged but I have met my minimum by a significant margin. So you can expect this will definitely happen, feel free to post any floating questions in the pad or here and I'll get on answering them. If you happen to catch me in the pad I am also open to stuff.

Also chat clients for anyone who feels better about bothering me there.

I think because adding people is still something I fuck up on.

Meanwhile, I have questions for you all.

I will have some basic statting of your monsters and even your mortals. I plan to keep it to myself and use it as a means of reflexively deciding if things go well for you, badly for you, or some middle margin of Pyrrhic. I have posted at least the monster stats as I have them now, most will be rolled along with a 1d10 and compared to a little chart I have. What I wonder is if you are interested in being fully aware of these stats or if I should hoard them.

They are mostly a minor hack on the Apocalypse World stats for those of you who are familiar with that, and a lot of my power as a GM is going to be based on that game. Human stats are based a bit more on a game called Poison'd, with a few shifts because it is a vulgar game about pirates and not all people are pirates.

Meanwhile I also wouldn't mind hearing how the interested parties feel about morality in this game. To quote Krylo from the Toasty redux he wasn't interested in playing a pity party, and the longer I've stared at the premise of the game before the more that seems to be legitimate. From what I can gather it is harder to maintain a game where your character hates his/herself than if they are greedy terrible people, or at the very least trying to use their monstrosity to their advantage.

Finally expect me to take a harder look at all your monsters later on, mostly to make sure we are starting balanced in relative power. You are all effectively newborns in the Paradox sense, so it gives you room to grow and knowledge that unless you are really not playing right that Ifrit will in fact not tear you in half like a phone book.

But, Ifrit tearing things in half is like, a staple of the series man! It's not a Paradox adventure until Ifrit has brutally murdered a variety of monsters.

Also how far into the negatives can we go on our skills, cos I have an absurd idea in mind that will probably break the game if you don't stamp on it right now.
