Creating a Character

If you’re playing a Warden, follow these steps to create them:

  1. Skim through the world if you want a sense of where you’ll be playing. Also skim the core rules rules, especially the ones about dice, ideals, and powers.
  2. Choose your Warden’s background, which will also prompt you to define an Ideal related to their origins and create a Tie.
  3. Choose their power. Describe how it manifested: careful tutelage, near-death experience, random happenstance, etc.
  4. Give them a name and pronouns
  5. Describe their look. All Wardens carry a coil of thirty feet of rope as a tool of their trade; describe how your Warden carries or wears theirs. They probably also carry a cutting implement, like a knife or an axe. Describe it, if you like.
  6. Assign 6 points across their Ability Ratings. No rating may have more than 2 points for now.
  7. Create a Tie with a resident of Twill (either one in the existing list or one of your own creation).
  8. Turn to the player to your right. Create a Tie with one of their existing Ties.
  9. Bonus round: Turn to the player two spaces to your right. Describe a rumor about their Warden or a tale of their exploits that you’ve heard.
  10. Extra bonus: Turn to the player across the table from you. Describe a previous situation your Wardens worked together.
