Trailer Park Boys: the Game, Wed 6:30p-10:00p (FULL)

[Teflon Billy]

Bubbles is Drunk, Stoned and A Mark. Being A Mark is Bubbles' primary weakness because his sympathy for cats and jerks elicit sympathy and loyalty and get him out of trouble.

OK, I think I'm getting this...

...Although none of the PCs or NPCs will be characters from the show (indeed, the park will be located in rural British Columbia not Nova Scotia), various basic narrative and genre conventions of the show will apply, including but not limited to the party leader being required to have a rum and coke with ice at all times during play...

Man...given that my actual formative years being spent in a Trailer Park in British Columbia, and coupled with the fact that I am going ot be holding a drinka t all times anyways, I think I am Party Leader.

I'm not sure that's good. :\

I was thinking over different character ideas, and I think I have a potential primary weakness for my character.

What do you guys think of vapid with a secondary weaknesses of naive and greedy? I'm pretty sure I have to have an addiction of some sort, but I'm thinking of having a silly one, like whippets (based off a girl I knew in college).

Of course I have no problem with alcoholic and/or stoner either. It could be our unifying theme.

Whippet Girl! Yes! I wholly endorse this character concept. I also endorse doing character creation in this thread.

I can do whippet-girl.

Depending on how many weakness I need to have, I'm thinking about "guilty conscience" or perhap "religiously raised" where I do things from my other attributes, only to be seriously riddled with guilt over them, this driving me to do more stupid things. Or perhaps I don't really do things that are that bad (in comparision to my compatriots), but I anguish from the guilt.

I'm open to character suggestions with whippet girl's opening concept.

[Teflon Billy]

Ok, after much consideration, here is my concept...

Vic.

Sleeveless plaid shirt, CAT Tractor ball cap. Wraparound Oakley knockoffs. Inexplicable Confederate Flag tattoo (he is originally from Nova Scotia). Long moustache and a mullet.

Long Haul Trucker with a strong dependency on Amphetamines.

Refuses to sleep and takes a weird sort of pride in his (100% imaginary) lack of need for sleep.

The Amphetamine/No Sleep psychosis that shows up after a few days or so is comedy gold.

Works one week on/one week off...the week off is spent in the trailer park with his friends trying to find a way to make enough money to buy his own Semi.

Greedy
Stoned
A Dick--Primary

How's that?

 

[fusangite]

The awesomeness of Vic is almost inexpressible. I'm working on an awesome stable of NPCs some of whom you may recognize.

 

[xrpsuzi]

That's awesome TB. I've been thinking over the right combination of weaknesses, and Vic has inspired me. After I'm done moving over the next couple of days, I'll post my character.

Just a note to say I'm running the Toronto playtest of the game today. I'll post draft rules on Monday after I've digested the playtest and gotten over my inevitable hangover.

Looking frward to this game. I'll try to get a concept together as well. I'm not a smoker, but I think it'd be good if we could play somewhere that smoking is allowed.
