Your Friday Evening of Just Making That Up
Friday group had a fun chargen session for Qin: The Warring States tonight. Qin seems like a fun game, though I'll be glad when we're through making characters because it's a fairly fiddly process, with different point-pools for attributes, skills, Qi tricks and outright magic for starting characters, and then, for the campaign-specific, a big pot of experience points to spend right afterward. I came to the session intending to build a disgraced and exiled village elder from a hill tribe, and instead ended up making a mystical Horseman - exiled from a hill tribe. The other three PCs are a Vagabond, a fighting Doctor, and a Warrior who has become a chef.
It was a generally fun time, with (fake American) Chinese food and free-ranging geekery. I kind of feel like the ice is broken between me and these guys now, which is comfortable and pleasant. We don't meet for three weeks because of schedule issues.
After we finish Qin, New-N's wife, whom I haven't yet met, wants to run Dresden Files RPG, using the Baltimore setting material. It will be her first time GMing, which is cool.
