This just sparked an idea in me:
A young adult coder who keeps healthy (and avoids social contact) by doing lots of excercise, like fitness at home, trekking, swimming, rock climbing, etc. He's, however, good physically and mentally, but seriously lacks in social skills and amount of people in his life.

I haven't assigned any points yet, anyway, so it's easier for me to switch.

To the defense of Rush, in my opinion the writers of the horror expansion are to blame mainly. This edge screams power gaming, basically that is its purpose -- so if it's in the book, it's natural that players will want it.

As a GM, I would totally discard this nonsense edge, and if I wanted my players to start Seasoned, I would just say so.

This post is not about arguing the GM's decision, it's a direct criticism of the edge and its creators.

Are we using Sanity rules?

Also, Veteran of the Dark World is basically four advances for the price of one hindrance. It feels very un-SWADE for me, but if it's available, shouldn't it be a default for all characters, to keep them on par?
Ok, it's moot because of the previous post, which I read after posting mine.

Two ideas came to my mind:

1. A born resident of Autumn, a herbalist woman running an organic food / alternative medicines shop, around forty. Divorced, got rid of her drunkard, womanizing husband, who is a wreck of a person sinking in cheap booze. May or may not have children, I don't yet know. She is logical, practical, and not bad socially. Have a wide circle of friends.

2. A drifter type 50-something guy, physically and socially good, but not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Arrived to Autumn 0-6 months ago (whatever is best for the story). Doesn't know many people yet, but it's easy for him to connect to people.

Savage Worlds horror game?
