[tokkiya]

No worries, real life comes first ^^

@Penny

Do we have to wait until we meet the characters mentioned in post zero to put names to their faces or can we do that now?

[Penny]

You will have to wait till it comes up in play. Essentially if you hear a name in play you get to see what your relationship to that person is.

[Penny]

Also somewhat belatedly, this is obviously an RP with mature themes. I won't be deliberately edgy but if anything that comes up is distressing to you please PM me and I will rewrite and retcon no questions asked. This is similar to the X card mechanic in most newer RPGS.

One of January's things allows him to choose someone who owes him at the the start of each session and learn a secret about them that they’d rather keep buried.

I have chosen to learn a secret about Anders.

@Penny@rush99999 Penny, should I post it here in the OOC or private message the both of you?

[Penny]

Post it here, if we were around the table we would all hear it anyway

[tokkiya]

Oh man, umm.... hmm. Since we don't have a plot really fleshed out yet it's hard for me to think of a good secret that won't potentially distract from the main story or be pointless. Just thinking out loud because it's gonna be a lame secret this early in the game... and because I'm not super creative ^^;

One of his secrets could be that his father (or some other close relative) is the leader of an eccentric religious group that seeks to obliterate lycans and werewolves. (So if he's asked to help get rid of them he'll just tuck his tail between his legs and run away.)

@tokkiya

Hogwash! Utter hogwash! That was a great secret you just came up with. You're better than you think yourself to be.

[Penny]

It is impossible to distract from the main plot because there is no main plot. The entire point of PbtA is to trick the players into making the plot for you.

@Penny

Does the voice at January's door sound like Quincy's.

[Penny]

@rush99999 Hard to make out through a door, but there aren't too many people left in the world who speak conversational Latin, most people sound like children learning their words to you.

[Penny]

Added the Foreman to the zeroth.

@Penny

Do you want me to tie the card to the NPC, or keep everything seperate?

[Penny]

@Humble1 the card should be tie to the NPC to which you owe a debt

[rush99999]

@Penny

How many guys are bearing down on January?

[Penny]

@rush99999
You can see six of them, though you notice that a couple of them appear to be talking into what look like blue tooth headsets

[rush99999]

@rush99999

Would breaking into January's apartment count as threatening his interests?

[Penny]

If by breaking in you mean 'planning an armed assault' yes, I would say it threatens his interests. @rush99999

[Penny]

@rush99999 Do you have a move that lets you name NPCs?
