    Patience, Scarlet. Patience.

    In the meantime, could someone give me the sign up lists for the three adventures? I can't sleep, yet am feeling laaaaaazy.

    The Third Heat.


    [The Third Heat]

    I think it'll really set the post-apocalyptic mood.

    Also being stuck in a diner sounds so much like that chapter of Sandman.
    The Third Heat seems good for the random amalgamation of characters we're dealing with.

    Edit: So that's 3 for Hail to the Watch, 7 for The Third Heat, and 1 for Mayfield is Dead.

    You never really "voted" for Third heat, Scarlet, but I'm interpreting your enthusiasm as such. So says the census man!


    RAD character idea: Census taker gone mad, roaming the countryside to count the population and make sure everyone is "accounted for".

    Wolf had spent a long time traveling. Without regular meals, all the legwork had been tough. Thankfully, there were enough rodents left after The Crash that Wolf remained well-fed. There was a man by the name of Larry Hendricks on the phone embedded in Wolf's skull.

    Wolf had spent enough time casing the joint. Just another trailer home. One kid, a wife. It wasn't difficult. Before Larry knew it, he was alone. Nobody else to alert him. It was kind of sad, finding him eating a half-cold can of Spaghetti-Os. The bastard had the kind with the meatballs. Wolf enjoyed those. It was a rarity that he killed a target with canned food open. Wolf was unable to operate the human can openers, and it left him with the inability to truly enjoy such things as Dinty Moore.

    Once Larry was digesting, Wolf left the desert town and began traveling towards the Bay Area. A San Franciscan who needed gnawing. First, though, Wolf would have to cross the desert.

    Oh, sorry, man - it is late and I looked at the wrong "last post" name.

    Valve: Basically, you create a character using the rules on the Wiki. It is fairly straight-forward, but, if you've got any questions just ask.

    Once the game has started, things are real simple - you post in-character stuff in Sandybrown. I make the rolls when I respond to your actions, but you're supposed to keep track of your own health/RAD/whatever.

    It is all fairly simple.

    "Elvis"

    Physical: 2

    Social: 4

    SocAds:
    Barter King [1]: You are adept at haggling. You receive a +5 bonus on rolls made to barter for items

    Connected [2]: You travel in many, widely varied circles. You may take a Social Test to call in a favor from someone you happen to know in the area. The TN of this roll varies, depending on how ridiculous the favor in question is.

    Smooth Son Of A Bitch [1]: By succeeding on an opposed Social Hard Contest, you can convince a target that he knows you.

    Unknown Identity [1]: You have a hidden identity- nobody knows who the fuck you really are. At any moment, you may choose to unveil your character's identity and redistribute your aspect points, ads, and ods to an even value (including the cost of this ad). Once you have used this Ad, you may never again purchase it.

    Demoralizing Diss [2]: You can verbally tear into an opponent, sapping his will to live. By spending an action and making a Social Base Test, you may diss a target - causing him to take a dice penalty on his rolls equal to the number of 6s you rolled. This penalty lasts 1 round.

    I'm A Rockstar Bitch [2]: You can get away with things that others can not. When an action would normally cause you to be arrested, killed, burned at the stake, etc., you may take a Social Test. For every 15 points, you may ignore one consequence.

    Renown [1]: Your name gets around. People know you, for better or worse.



    SocOds:
    Hard-Knock Life [-2]: If things are going to go wrong, they are probably going to go wrong at you. You suffer from extremely bad luck which has no specific mechanical effect, but tends to leave you worse for wear when shit goes down hill.



    Mental: 2

    MentOds:

    Compulsion [-1]: You have a psychological compulsion, be it kleptomania, pyromania, obsessive compulsive disorder, alcoholism, or chronic gambling. You must pass a TN (Mental x 3) Mental Test to ignore these urges in any situation that they might spring up. Failure means you go into a compulsive fit, indulging in your particular compulsion for a number of minutes equal to the amount by which you failed the Test. You may shrug off this urge, but doing so causes you to take one Mental Wound.

    Gullible [-1]: You have a sweet, trusting nature that others just love to take advantage of. Take a -10 penalty to all attempts to detect lying. You're only allowed to take this talent if you can lick your elbow.

    Phobia [-1]: You suffer from a severe phobia of a certain object or situation (spiders, dirt, enclosed spaces, heights, cats, etc.). When exposed to the source of your phobia, you take a -1 dice penalty on all rolls. Rolling three Base 6s on a Mental Test allows you to overcome the phobia for a scene.


    Before the Crash, 'Elvis' was an Elvis impersonator, but he was exceptionally bad at it. He had the clothes, he had the hair, he even had the shades, but people just laughed at him. This led him to drink. Alot. Then there was the Crash and Elvis got knocked on the noggin. Now he can't remember what happened before the Crash or who he was.

    Now he really thinks his name is Elvis and that he was a rockstar before the Crash. He occasionally bursts into songs, and is constantly on the search for a bitchin' guitar. He also loves him some booze(compulsion) and also monophobia: Fear of solitude or being alone.



    Is that alright?

    Probably not that quickly. We probably should be a little more cautious until we gain a lot more power on our characters.

    None of you should be offended if my character decides that fleeing is a way better option.

    Looks good, Cheese, though, like Lock already said, specifying what your phobia and compulsions are on the sheet would be a plus.
