Current I know I said I'd be back tonight but it turns out I have a lot of post-vacation life stuff to catch up on. Apologies to everyone waiting on a reply--I'll get them out before the end of the week!

Will be out of town from tomorrow until Monday--going to go try and through my threads tonight and update what I can, but after that will likely be silent for a few days.

I'm interested, and I have a character concept I prepped as a backup for another campaign ready to go--in fact, she's a Fey ranger, so she should mesh nicely with the setting. Do you have any objection to me using the variant Ranger class features from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything?

We'll be using the Wealth system; you each start with Wealth D6, mechanics for that are in SWADE page 145/146. Use your Wealth to obtain starting equipment/gear, just remember you're already extraordinary for being player characters; "not Burt Gummer".


Just to make sure I understand how this works--anything below ~$60 is fair game, but anything higher than that we have to roll (d6+Wild Die). On a raise, we get the item; on a hit, we get the item but our wealth die goes down a type; on a miss we can get the item but we "go broke".

...if my character "goes broke" in character creation, does he start broke in the game?

(Also, to clarify--is this set in present time/2020s?)
@RickyG85, given that this is a modern horror setting, do we still get the free edge from being human? Or is that bit just a wash?

ETA: Also, how are we handling starting money/gear?
Jesse's eyebrows climbed towards the ceiling. If they were less shocked by the identity of Ashley's father than by Luka's display of supernatural power, it showed more in their expression.

"Victor Whitlock's daughter, huh?" They shook their head. "'Mundane' I might be, but I guess that's proof enough you still have faith in my talents." The looked over at Ashley with renewed interest, clearly re-evaluating their first impression in light of the new information. "I didn't know he had a kid. Any idea why he's blocking the name change?" Jesse attempted to meet Ashley's eyes, tone and expression sincere. "Luka--Mr. Durand is right. His family's name has a lot of horsepower at City Hall, and I really am very good at my job. But Whitlock is pretty well connected himself, and it would help if I had some idea of what angle he's working here."

Gave you access a couple hours ago. I like your enthusiasm lol

I think... I can work with that character concept, I get a vibe of the "Cabin in the Woods" stoner; he didn't really know just what was going on, simply his own instincts wouldn't stop telling him that something wasn't right

Also that one guy from Steven Universe


yeah, that's about the vibe i'm going for--like, he's convinced something's up, but he thinks it's the CIA or the Greys or smth likr that. that said I don't mind shifting to something else if that concept doesn't work with the group.
Anyway--pending getting a peek at the horror splatbook, but I'm leaning towards playing a flake-type character. Weird guy, smart but not very pleasant interpersonally, came to the island some years ago to "investigate" because he was convinced something supernatural was happening and wanted to uncover the truth. Has a youtube channel with thirty subscribers, that kind of thing.


@ctrlsaltdel@rush99999 ok, I'm going to post the OOC tomorrow and we can get started with our "session 0" stuff! Is there any interest in a discord server, as well?


Great! I'm either way on Discord.
