				Thanks, RD.&nbsp; I'll try that.<br><br>Flaming, you should be able to enter the number of dice you want to roll in one field, the number of sides in another, and add a couple of notes if necessary.&nbsp; Most of the fields on the die roller will be of little use with this system: you will never need to add a number to the total, or subtract anything, or count successes.<br><br>Your character looks fine.&nbsp; :-)&nbsp; Although, with your established truth (about which I have a question), we'll need a Spiritual Advisor!&nbsp; Or not.

				Me and DarkRose want to put a love triangle into our backstories. Do you want us to pre-start with a romance aspect, or just play it out as previous cannon? We are thinking her as a crazed bodyguard to the master, who its prone to fits of rage, and can only be calmed by my character. I'll be playing the masters, spy master. A captured slave who turned out to be a force sensitive who her master released. As such shes dotingly protective of the master. It could progress in a number of fun ways.<br><br>Also, how are we dealing with force sensitives? What force powers do people have. If you wanted we could do it as a replacement for beliefs, that would also short hand it as you have telekinesis, force lightning, mind control, extreme agility/strength and super senses/visions. Each level would make you more powerful in each field. Does this version have beliefs. <br><br>Final question, how are seasons actions working as we are not the primary lord?

				No Aspects needed--Blood and Honor does not have anything resembling the Romance procedures of Houses, but we can certainly 'port it across and you two can spend your first Season building the attachment.&nbsp; Methinks it'll be more interesting to have matters unfold in play.&nbsp; Forbidden interest, those longing looks across the table, the rivalry of your fellow Sith...<br><br>You're assumed to be Force Sensitive, in much the same way that you're all assumed to be proficient with the lightsaber (unless, uhm, you took Prowess as a weakness).&nbsp; These become elements of Risks...color and detail, if you will.&nbsp; Except for Blessings, about which...well, you have no Spiritual Advisor, so we'll have to see how that works out.&nbsp; Otherwise, it's abstracted.&nbsp; The emphasis here is on the drama, not the special effects.<br><br>Season Actions!&nbsp; Now there's a good question.&nbsp; It works like this:<br><br>Every season starts with a conference.&nbsp; The Boss will ask you what you want to propose.&nbsp; Make a contested Beauty Risk to convince the boss to follow <span class="bbc_u">your</span> plan for that season.&nbsp; At the end of the season (that is, after the adventure is concluded), the results are in.<br><br>UPDATE: (facepalm)&nbsp; I can't believe I missed the obvious.&nbsp; Here it is: if you and DarkRose want to have a pre-established romantic entanglement, you simply need to make it one of your Three Things!&nbsp; Indeed, if only one of you does it, it's there...but possibly unrequited or unconsummated.<br><br>

				What will our characters be doing during the season action, I'm guessing we work as the vassals do in HotB. IE given tasks and then we go to find our own way to solve them? Also, does cunning have any replacement uses now beauty is used to guide your master?

				Those things are called 'adventures'.&nbsp; Sometimes they'll pertain, and sometimes they won't.<br><br>The use of Beauty for season actions is appropriate, since you're basically making a nice speech to convince the boss to do it your way.&nbsp; Cunning has the same uses as it always has.<br><br>Wisdom is what you already know about a subject.&nbsp; Cunning is what you spot right as you walk onto the scene.&nbsp; Beauty is talking your way past the suspicious guards.&nbsp; &nbsp;;D<br><br>I'll get some rule summaries up shortly.

				OK!&nbsp; &nbsp;:-)<br><br>The first thing we're doing, of course, is that Beauty contest to convince the Boss what to do with those three season actions (one for being the boss, one for the territory you hold, and a bonus espionage action that is up to your ever-lovin' Twi'lek Spymistress).&nbsp; So now is a good time to think about your opening speeches.<br><br>One post to establish, one post apiece to resolve your individual risks, one to finish and segue into the first adventure.&nbsp; Sound about right?

				No worries!&nbsp; I know it takes a bit to get one's head around when one is making a Risk and when one is not.&nbsp; At the least, if what you're doing isn't really going to affect the plot all that much, it's probably not a risk.<br><br>My own personal pitfall with these is having to remember that the GM does not usually say 'okay, gimme a Risk' out of the blue.&nbsp; They're player driven!&nbsp; You might say, for example, "What do I know about (insert important NPC here)?" and I will respond with "Make a Wisdom Risk."&nbsp; What's at stake is what the PC might know about the NPC, which gives the <em>player</em> the opportunity to invent the details, given a successful roll and enough wagers...<br>

				Another pitfall is the difference between Wisdom and Cunning.<br><br>Wisdom is 'what do I know about this person'.<br><br>Cunning is 'what clues or details do I spot about this as yet undefined corpse lying on my veranda'.<br><br>The fun part is that the latter can lead to the former...

				I've never played a HotB game where the GM had no narrative input at all in terms of declaring facts. Otherwise their not really a GM rather just a NPC controller within the confines of a story completely written by introduced facts by the players. For example, if there was something trying the break in a door and a player failed a strength feat to hold it shut, the GM would describe them breaking in. Thus moving the plot forward in a constructive manner. You give up narrative control to the GM till the next roll opportunity.<br><br>As you introduced this spy I assumed you had somewhere to go with this should I fail my cunning roles. I don't know how comfortable I am in continuing if you only want the game to be pushed forward on player generated facts. Am I correct in thinking that's what you want to run?<br>

				<strong>I have somewhere to go with it, but because you failed your Risk, you get nothing</strong>--she's not scared of you, and she's not talking.&nbsp; But if you aren't going to bother with (let's see, now) spending Honor to introduce something, or getting the others in here to define the gaps, or invoking your Ability as Spymaster, then you get to wait in helpless frustration.&nbsp; Think of yourself as a cop in one of those police procedurals who gets stonewalled by an uncooperative suspect in the first ten minutes.&nbsp; That's where you are.<br><br>Now DO something about it.&nbsp; That's your job as a player: yes, that includes helping define the world.&nbsp; You have the tools to do so.<br><br>There IS another plot moving, here, not that you've been involved with that one.<br><br>Now if you WANT to cede that control, say so now and I'll let you have it.&nbsp; (I do indeed have ideas about who this gal is and who she might work for, but as anyone paying attention to the GM chapter in Houses knows already, I'm not supposed to impose my vision on you...)<br>

				Sadly it is going to become more difficult to play my char if Atlas is withdrawing from the game. The whole idea behind my char is having someone present who helps her maintain her control or she becomes an enraged killing machine. With that in mind, I regret to say that I am going to have to surrender my char. It has been a pleasure trying to learn this game but I do not think it is going to work well for me. I wish you all the best and hope that at some point we can all be in another game together. Thank you for having me :)
