Describe where you are from and how The Man Who Smelled of Rot affected you.
Thank you for the invite Gilkarash! Will have a think about a character concept.
Absolutely! Take your time. Once you have a character built and submitted then we can work on your Origin story. Each player character gets a little one on one introduction thread where we illustrate your first run in with The Man Who Smells of Rot.
Also, when thinking about characters, please discuss with one another your ideas and get them creative juices flowing!
Certain character ideas may not work as well for this particular campaign (mostly Natives that shun the Colonizers territories and ways as it will hamper the groups ability to travel unless you all decide to go that route!).
@Gilkarash I adapted an existing Savage Worlds Custom Character Sheet to reflect the Deadlands Reloaded stats, to make rolling easier here in the forums. Pls take a look if I'm missing something, and I will adjust.
So far I'm thinking of a 'The Bride' situation where The Man Who Smells of Rot shot up my character's wedding and now she's on a quest of revenge. I kind of want to make her a chi-powered martial artist but at a glance it seems hard to build that without being spread rather thin. I'm also considering a gunslinger or a muckraker build.
I am thinking a silver-tongued Snakeoil Salesman whose reputation as an 'honest' man has been ruined by The Man Who Smells of Rot!
While in town advertising his elixirs and quack (but harmless) remedies, he had the misfortune of crossing paths with The Man Who Smells of Rot.
The latter took great pleasure in (1) publicly revealing him as a charlatan, (2) destroying his stock, and (3) giving him a crippling injury of some sort!
More than enough for a grudge fuelling his desire for revenge...
I believe i will institute some of the 'Default' skills from SWADE, just to give everyone a little more leeway with skill points so that you have some basics minimally covered.
good to see you @Nuttyartist ! Looking forward to sharing this adventure ðŸ¤
right back atcha.
So I'm new to the system, and don't want to ask too many questions that I could figure out myself.
However, "Bennies" (which I don't fully know about yet) - how do they get applied to pbp? One reason I ask is if I take the Young hindrance, it provides an extra benny each session.
As for my character, no specific idea ties me down. I could play a cliche gunslinger, or whatever rounds out the group. Maybe a Blessed guy, or a scout. Pretty vague haha
