You are right, I had completely forgotten about thta. You have reached a significant milestone, and so a bit of levelling up is in order.

First everyone should take... I think two Aspects, to reflect what your characters went through, rescuing the Queen. (It has been a while, hasn't it?)

You may also raise any Skill by +1 (but if you do, you must lower another Skill, swapping them - if you raise a Skill from +3 to +4, then you must drop one from +4 to +3). Effectively, you're swapping two Skills. Any skills you do not have are considered +0. You may make up to two such swaps, though you may not apply both +1s to the same skill (you may apply both -1s to the same skill if you like, though)

Once you have your Aspects, and have swapped around Skills, you could look at one more Stunt. And no, Kajin, there is no Stunt that allows you to use Science in place of Mysteries; though you could probably benefit from getting Mysteries to +1 via swapping.

Working on my aspects now. In addition to one new stunt can I change out an old one for another as well? I don't think I've used Ladies Man one time the entire time we've been playing this game.

Skills: Survival -1, Mystery +1. Gambling -1, Resolve +1.



If I'm able to exchange an old stunt, I'd like to get rid of Ladies Man as stated for:

How we doing

I've been contemplating an aspect for Arkady: Nobody Captures Machine Gunners. Basically he now understands how to properly use automatic weapons: and so long as he can see where the shots are going then every round (including the first) that he's using full automatic fire he can walk the burst to add a cumulative plus one to his combat roll. Not terribly powerful for most magazine fed weapons; but cassette or belt fed ones would be rather more dangerous.

Is that an aspect or a stunt?

I have an idea for an aspect. Troll Friend. Tag to increase a rapport roll when dealing with Trolls.Can also be detrimental in a rapport roll against someone who exhibits anti troll attitudes.

Roger regrets immensely that the attempt to negotiate with Ghwerek came to blows.

As for stunts, I have no clue XD.

Honestly I think we were gonna come to blows with Ghwerek anyway. It was just a matter of what caused the fight.

Also I recommend you take Minions. We can build you a bot swarm to do stuff for us.

Of course you don't have to take minions.

Where we at right now?

I guess it's a stunt? I'm kind of drawing a blank on what Arkady would pick up as an aspect from all of this. Though it wouldn't be hideously inappropriate for him to be stuck with something like 'God Whisperer' at this point...

I think we can only pick from stunts that are listed on that website CCC has linked. I tried for an improvised stunt but got vetoed.

But iirc you at some point said you wanted to take the Sidekick stunt so Arkady's wife could come along.

Sorry, got a bit caught up in Stuff over the last few days.

Troll Friend would be a decent aspect. But maybe Trollish Regret would be a better name for it? (He doesn't actually have a troll friend yet). Or maybe Anti-Speciest, to extend it to more than just Trolls?

Yeah, Ghwerek was never going to go peacefully. But he's not exactly the average Troll. (Ghwerek's considered a bit of a weakling among Trolls, but he's a good deal smarter than the average; most Trolls think he needs to get out of that stupid workshop and get out in the fresh air more)

Custom stunts are possible, but subject to veto. In this specific case, Science and Magic are not really all that well aligned, hence vetoed - but other custom stunts are possible.

Gotcha.

I was mostly figuring that I could use scientific inquiry to figure out the best "questions" to ask to make magic work and from there come up with precise definitions.

Roger has The Right Questions! maybe he could do it.

I'll try to get my character updates in this weekend.

Ok Guns to +3 for Deceit. and Mysteries to +1 at the expense of Contacting. I'll take Stay on Target as a stunt (for guns).

For the first stunt, I'm either going to take Troll Defender or moprh that into some kind of diplomat / negotiator aspect. Still unsure about the second aspect.
