Ok, so I start my first session tomorrow.
Ok, so I start my first session tomorrow. I’m playing with experienced players (in other games) who have done some of character creation pre-session. All of their stories we will tie together into a crew in session. There were a couple of questions I wanted to throw out for ideas first.
One of my players is from the internal lands of Severos, he’s from a clan and is a ghost hunting whisper. As part of character creation for friend he wants to have a friendly ghost. I obviously don’t want to say no, so have thought about options in the setting. Especially with how I can avoid overpowering a friend (I know I can reveal to them what I see appropriate to any roll but I want to make sure the fiction always seems genuine, so help with setting etc. is appreciated.)
Going by the inherent vengefulness of spirits and the quick speed a spirit will descend into that state, I was left with the following ideas for his friend
a) maybe it could be a reconciled spirit. Although extremely rare, it could be a newer reconciled, separate from the “faction” and not embroiled in their motives. I felt a member of the reconciled possessing a noble would have way too much knowledge too easy to access, possibly killing creativity. Compared to a a player with a pugilist with a few gang connections.
b) was maybe he could tap into the spirit field in a particular place or focus on a place in Severos, and contact/get a vision from a friendly entity but not without risk.
c) He has her bound somehow but she may not always fall under his authority to answer.
Ideas would be massively appreciated and any thoughts on consequences, as i’m still in the complete mind that even as a whisper there isn’t any security regarding spirits.
(Second sub question! What’s the general assumed preaching to common folk from the church of the Ecstasy of the flesh? Understanding that zealots exist, what’s the difference from the extreme to public norm.)
(Also what have your thoughts been on the immortal emperor in your games and where is the empire controlled from?)
That was longer than planned but cheers 🙂
