Demeanor, Training, and Fortune

In this episode we continue our character creation process with the demeanor, training, and fortune cards. Demeanor helps our players think about how their characters present themselves to the world and the kind of person they aspire to be. Training lets them think about the intentional work that has gone into getting them where they are. Fortune on the other hand tells us a bit about how life has treated our heroes up to now. Have they been relatively lucky or has life shit on them a little bit on their way to becoming a time traveling hero?

The Game

This Game was played using the Mavericks system. An RPG using a deck of cards to tell the story and put fate in the hands of the players. It’s a story-forward roleplaying experience that encourages the players and dealer to work together to create the story. Check out the System Reference Document on Itch.io

In this episode, we get our first introduction to the system just as you would as a player, in character creation. Character creation for Mavericks starts with a tarot-style spread of cards and creative interpretations based on the suits and values dealt. In this episode, we make it through the first three cards and lear about the core of these characters.

Welcome adventurers from across time and space. Five creators have been brought together from across the internet for one purpose and one purpose alone, to travel through time and have a good time doing it. When big changes happen to the timeline, the change attracts other time travelers like gravity. They won’t be able to move past it until they fix whatever was messed up. So, our heroes are stuck together but only for the time being
