Final Decisions

[Queen_Dopplepopolis]

The 1890's is very diverse, as well... so much is still going on! From a sweet Japanese samurai woman to a wild west gun sling-ette - you don't lack for options in the slightest.

*grins* It would totally rock.

Ha! I have her. Now I'm officially excited for this game. More details to come when I flesh her out with stats and stuff.

Winefred "Fred" Thompson: Sheriff's daughter from Roswell, New Mexico. Probably a Smart/Strong mix.

That's a good one. I want to make sure to have *at least* one character like that.

I've got further details for character creation in development (and some creation guidelines) that I'll post or otherwise publish as soon as I decide upon them.

A question for you specifically, Gertie - are you attached to Roswell, or could I move you to a similarly sized town in Texas without it interfering overmuch with your concept?

 

[Xath]

I'm not too attached. I was doing research this morning and found that nothing terribly interesting happened in Roswell until 1947 anyway.

Wait wait! In 1890, they discovered....water!

Texas is fine.

 

[The_Universe]

Well, there was a silver mine in Roswell, but it wasn't exactly a rough-and-touble wild-west town. I don't know that the town I'm thinking of in Texas was, either. But, it's mentioned in a book by Jim Marrs, and though the real life event may be a little later than when the game will ultimately be set, I think it might be close enough. So, since the event in question is of dubious truthfulness *anyway,* I don't see much harm in moving it back in time.

Anyway, Aurora, TX is what I had in mind.

My character that i'm keeping in mind is a cross between Doc Holiday and X-Men's "Gambit". His working name right now is "Johnny Cash" (from whom the man in black stole his name ) and he's a quick drawing, womanizing, gambler from any Major western town.

 

[The_Universe]

You'll probably be OK picking an origin/location anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon Line and/or West of the Mississippi. I just posted a thread with some initial thoughts about available advanced classes. Grifter and Maverick from Sidewinder: Recoiled spring to mind as being potentially useful at first blush.

Also, Mel Gibson's (and James Garner's) Maverick might be useful for inspiration, as well.

 

[Archon]

What does the "Grifter" get? I'm assuming it's a Charismatic Hero advanced class. Right now i'm thinking more along the lines of "Gunslinger"

I don't know off the top of my head what they get - but I would suspect that nearly all of the advanced classes in Sidewinder: Recoiled are going to have some "gunslinger" focus.

 

[Xath]

I'm working on my character and I have a few questions.

1. Do we still need 1 ability score under 10?
2. How are you working Toughness?
3. For cross class skills: Do they cost double the points? Or can you only have half of the ranks in them? Or both?
