I’m doing a bit of a weird hack, if you can call it that, that’s about the dealings of the City Council in times of crisis. I need additional names for action ratings – a lot of them, the design is about deliberately inducing confusion – and I’d like to be as lazy about it as possible. Would it be possible to get access to the list of the action ratings before the list of them was narrowed down?
Also, if you are reading this and want to give me reams of single-word actions that a bunch of debauched, corrupt, possibly demonic city-level politicians would do to a mostly unsuspecting population, feel free. I will let out an audible whistle every time I am especially impressed.
Political, eh? Filibuster must be one of them. Talking bullshit for hours to get your opponents to back down is glorious.
Here’s a link to old character sheets, from the 6 Towers Gang days! They’ve got a big ol’ list of action ratings, including Murder (RIP). onesevendesign.com – onesevendesign.com/blades/blades_episode_one_sheets.pdf
