Lemme go into a little more detail with bonds!<br/>Yeah, bonds can be REALLY weird sometimes. If they don't fit for your character or you're not quite feeling them, change them. We are already "voiding the warranty" in a bunch of ways! <br/><br/>So the way Bonds are supposed to work is you choose 1 person for each bond. That sets up some dynamics for the game and let's us start seeing how these people are going to interact. Rules as written, when you Aid someone, you roll with your bonds instead of an appropriate stat. I've found that often doesn't make sense (Radja, roll +0 Bonds to help open that heavy door), so I usually houserule that you roll with your stay OR your bonds with the person, whichever is higher, if you're super strong your strength does it and if you super are invested in the relationship then the relationship does it.<br/><br/>ADDITIONALLY you can "resolve" a bond by having some sort of resolution to it. When you feel it no longer applies, at the end of a session (for IRL games, for us... Kinda whenever. Maybe when we Rest?) you can declare it doesn't, write a new bond (for the same person or someone new) and get experience! It's kind of an RP incentive.(lol at us having rp incentives)<br/><br/>Honestly, I think they can make a good starting place, but we can be flexible. If you need to alter or play with stuff to make things work, DO IT. Don't hesitate at all. Make it sexy if you want. If nobody wants to have eaten part of Mazz, maybe they tasted each other instead!  <br/><br/>Lemme know if that helps! I'm gonna do a sheet check in just a bit, because holy fuck you are all fast! We can probably vote on adventure soon! If Bonds aren't don't yet, that's okay.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Yes that helps, thanks. :)<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Mind if I take this backstory stuff and rework the adventure hook I'd had? You've got much better names and we probably don't need two groups of warring elves and Amazons in the world ;)<br/>Should be fun! ;)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Go for it!  That is what it is there for. :D
