Weird is being renamed Faith to fit in better with the Series
And we are using this definition

We'll be egocentric and this can include yourself. So with Hx , we'll need to figure that out and that should help you guys have some history. Of course I have to revise some of it..potentially so it is more BSG flavored.



As mentioned you guys will each get 1 or 2 free improvements
Simon feel free to add if you want.

Things to Ignore

Appearance : Largely you are allowed to pick any option you want. You already described them. So you aren't limited.

The Fluff that seems Odd: As said this game will need to be reskinned so bear with me while that occurs


Sex Moves: Are getting revamped or removed depending on wants.

What your playbook says right now about HX: will also be changed

Here's the basic mechanic of the game: To do it, you gotta do it.

What that means is, in order to do something mechanically, you have to describe it alternatively. Likewise, if you do something alternatively, you do it mechanically. Some things you do in the game aren't going to need you to roll - likewise, sometimes you're going to roll, and I won't require you to describe it.

How about an example?

Suppose Orochi up there was trying to get out of a room, but Balls was blocking it. Orochi's player might say, "Okay, cool, I want to shove past him." As an MC, my reaction would be, "Awesome, you're going aggro?" From there, the player has two acceptable options: he can either say "totally, I'm going to threaten to beat the shit out of him if he doesn't move it," or he can say, "oh, no, if he's really blocking the door I guess I won't try and push through".

What would be unacceptable is if the player said, "well, no, I want to shove past him, but I don't want to roll for it."

The rolling mechanic of the game is also really simple! You roll 2d6, and add your appropriate stat. On a 10+, that's a strong hit. On a 7-9, that's a weak hit. On a 6 or lower, that's a miss. Moves will tell you what happens on a 10+ or 7-9, some will even tell you what happens on a miss! However, if it doesn't tell you what happens on a miss, then it's this: the MC makes a move, as hard and direct as they want. And I promise, you ain't gonna like it.

The MC has moves, but his don't require rolling. He just makes them when it's his turn to speak. Mostly they'll be setting up something in future, or putting you in a spot. However, if you hand him a golden opportunity on a platter, he gets to be as hard as he wants, and baby, you don't want that to happen.

Oh, one more thing! At the start of the first session, look at your Hx. Whoever has the biggest number on there gets to choose one of your stats to highlight, whichever one they think is the most interesting. Then the MC will pick a stat of yours to highlight. Whenever you roll that stat, in game, you get +1 tick. Once you hit five ticks, you gain an improvement, off that list in the back of your playbook.

That reminds me, there's more improvements than the ones you have in your playbook, but you can only access them after you've improved five times off your normal list. I'll bring it up when the time comes.
