				You know what this is for, right?<br><br>A few quick conventions that prior experience has shown to be effective:<br><br>When posting IC, please keep your posts somewhat shorter if die rolling is going to be involved.&nbsp; Doing Wall of Text that covers multiple Challenges will require a ton of editing if, say, the first roll doesn't work out.<br><br>Please use the Hide button for your rolls, which should probably go in your IC posts.&nbsp; Also, it is quite acceptable (and encouraged) to post most of an action, then return to edit it after making the roll!&nbsp; This is a great way to earn Style Dice, in case of failure.<br><br>When in doubt, ask questions!&nbsp; If the answer isn't clear, ask more questions--sometimes I answer the wrong question, or am not quite as clear as I think I am.<br><br>Please observe Good Form as often as possible.&nbsp; This's a friendly game, please.&nbsp; :-)&nbsp; We're here to have fun.<br>

				To start us off, here are the three as-yet-undecided Dial Settings.&nbsp; Let's tackle them all.&nbsp; We;ve already touched on the three that are below, but we can go more in-depth here.<br><br>One thing you can all contribute, please:<br><strong>A Cool Thing I Would Like To See Happen In This Game Is...</strong><br><br><strong>Firearms</strong><br>♦ Are guns just another weapon? Pistols and muskets do damage as normal.<br>♦ Are guns more powerful weapons? Firearms do damage as normal, plus additional Damage Ranks equal to the MOD of the attacker’s Firearms Forte.<br>♦ Are guns one-shot kill weapons? Firearms do damage as normal, plus additional Damage Ranks equal to the TN of the attacker’s Firearms Forte.<br><br><strong>Mysticism</strong><br>♦ When will Gifted or koldun PCs need to make a mystical Challenge roll?<br>o On occasion, when warranted by the situation.<br>o Whenever spending a Style Die for effect.<br>o Every time they use their power(s), including “simply for MOD.”<br>♦ Are mystical Challenge TNs relatively standard, or can they fluctuate wildly—high or low—at GM’s whim? (Tides of mana…)<br><br><strong>Poison</strong><br>♦ Does poison harm? Apply the MOD of the poison to the damage total after a successful attack or failed Challenge roll.<br>♦ Does poison weaken? Characters cannot heal normally, gain a Story Hook of “Poisoned!”, and the cost of Style Dice-based Catch Your Second Wind is doubled, until they find the antidote.<br>♦ Does poison incapacitate or kill? Failing a Challenge roll versus the TN of the poison makes the character instantly become Mostly Dead (or its equivalent).<br>♦ Is the poison one-shot or enduring? A one-shot poison does its work and is gone; an enduring poison hangs around until it’s removed from the victim’s system (a Story Hook).

				Undecided Dial Settings:<br><strong>Firearms</strong><br>Just a weapon<br><br><strong>Mysticism</strong><br>If use would prefer Challenge TN's be standard. Otherwise don't really care.<br><br><strong>Poison</strong><br>Different poisons do different things. So I'd say all of the above, depending on the type of poison, but make the cost reflect the effects.<br><br>Questions: in the setting you said we were recruited by 'the mysterious Duc du Masque'. You then listed four different groups of musketeers. Are we all supposed to have been recruited from the Maidenguard? (since you said that you wanted the group to be female) Or are we just random woman that may or may not be Maidenguards? Or are we just supposed to be members of one of the groups of musketeers period? (since that's all you listed.) Or was that information just background knowledge that we, as PC's, would have known and not really related to our characters?

				Ahh, my bad for not making it clear: that's general background known to the characters, not a requirement (since I may eventually do other games in this world).&nbsp; In other words, if you see a bunch of sword-swinging people in green tabards, and you're not on good terms with Her Majesty, you know it's time to either practice the ancient art of Not Being Seen or prepare for a fight.<br><br>Anyone who wants to have musketeerish background in this game is either recently released from the Maidenguard, has a darn good backstory (which, now that I think about it, might involve their former Secret coming out in the wash), or has a very indulgent mentor!

				Whoops!&nbsp; Didn't have this bookmarked. I'm pretty against Mysticism, as for this sort of setting it should be very much so in the background, or perhaps in the hands of some ne'er-do-well.<br><br>Firearms are just fine with me, but cinematically, I'd prefer if they were 'on par' with melee.&nbsp; Simply because it's fun to have options rather than rely on one more than another.&nbsp; Might even prefer silly amounts of reload time to really represent old-time firearms.<br><br>A Cool Thing I would like to see happen in this game is a duel in the king's name atop the highest tower, complete with thunder, rain, and a suggested, although not actually present, orchestral accompaniment.

				I don't really care about the Mysticism one way or the other so I'm just going to abstain from that vote.<br><br>I'd like Firearms to work just like other weapons, right down to the 'reload times'. Long reload times are for when firearms are super powered and you need to balance them (in my opinion). Besides my current character idea involves someone who brings a gun to a sword fight (duels) and makes it work.<br><br>A Cool Thing I Would Like To See Happen In This Game Is... something over the top and ironically ridiculous in true swashbuckler fashion. Perhaps a duel across a stage with a real orchestral accompaniment because no one else realizes it's not part of the show. Perhaps a villain (who is winning) being unmade by some un-marshal hobby of one of the characters or their patron, flower arranging for example, that he had mocked earlier in the campaign. And, of course, the (tasteful) use of all three major chandelier bits. (swinging on one, dropping one on, and dueling on one respectively)

Despite this she never misses a chance to make an entrance and her favored mode of dress (Pants and cuffed shirts like a man and, her pride and joy, an impressively plumed hat with a broad brim.) only make her stand out even more. Born the second child and only daughter of a wealthy and respected gunsmith she grew up learning to shoot and fiddling with springs, small gears, and bits of wire at an age when most girls were playing with dolls. She was quite happy with this life and was soon entertaining her whole home village with trick shots and automatic coin flippers. It wasn’t until she began to blossom around age 16 that things went wrong. She knew that many men had come to her father seeking her hand in marriage, just as she also knew he refused to marry her off to any man but the one she chose, but it was still a shock when she came home one day to find her father and older brother being led away in chains and a nobleman with armed guards grabbing her and dragging her off saying that she was to be his wife. She spent the day locked in a bedroom in his mansion and almost frantic with worry and confusion, for no one would tell her anything, before finally escaping by using a piece of wire from her pocket to pick the lock. Upon reaching the town she found out that her father and brother had been arrested for the murder of a Knight that had lived nearby and sentenced to life imprisonment. Since the knight in question had been both a friend of her father and an enemy to the noble who had claimed her as his wife she knew it had been a set up. After sneaking past the guards around her fathers workshop, and the only home she had ever known, she quickly gathered everything she could image she might need, but could still carry easily, and set out to clear her family’s name and bring the true villain to justice. Knowing she would need the aid and patronage of powerful people to uncover and prove the truth she traveled to Paris where she soon made a name for herself with her outrageous behavior, clever inventions, and the finest marksmanship the city had seen in years. Shortly thereafter she was approached by the agents of the Duc du Masque.<br>

As for the first question... think Indiana Jones. She has a hat that she likes but it's always getting knocked off or lost at inopportune moments... which then requires her to do something crazy to get it back. (Example: They get captured locked up, the captain of the guard takes a fancy to her hat and steals it. When they break free she has to sneak through the guard room, past the entire squad of sleeping guard, and steal it back right off the head of the sleeping captain without waking him. Did they need to go near the guard room at all to get out? No. So why risk it? Because it's her HAT!)

Given that Repartee would be included in Jongleur I would recommend dropping that to get the second foible and ether getting a technique chained to Jongleur, a third foible, or a forte granting some special skill the average person wouldn't have access to. Alternatively you can just drop the 'Dislikes the nobility' foible, which is a pretty good idea now that I think of it since we happen to be working for a member of the nobility you so dislike.

				Well, you don't generally get to succeed by failing, but you CAN use failure to set up an advantageous situation for a future check.&nbsp; Finding a book is probably not the best possible example of this--but the key ideas are to make it entertaining and interesting.
