| And finally, minion generation entails the player creating
| | |
| two Connections, each of which conceives into existence an
| |
| NPC from town and describes how the minion is connected
| |
| personally to that character. These relationships are
| |
| presumed to have for the minion an emotional context of
| |
| love, protective concern, or curiosity, though the emotion
| |
| need not be exactly specified. And the relationships are
| |
| understood to be unrequited at the start of play, or otherwise
| |
| entirely outside the awarenesses of the NPCs. So, for
| |
| example, a Frankenstein’s monster type minion might have
| |
| a Connection like, ‘My hands are those of the deceased
| |
| carpenter whose widow lives in town.’ And it is understood
| |
| that the minion is somehow emotionally tethered to the
| |
| widow. A different minion might have a Connection like, ‘I
| |
| love the little girl who plays ball in the cemetery.’
| |
| In play, minions will acquire Love points attached to their
| |
| Connections when they act on or make overtures related to
| |
| them. Players will need to track Love against their individual
| |
| Connections, even though the only value ever used by the
| |
| game’s resolution mechanics is a minion’s total Love points
| |
| across all Connections. This is because the death of a
| |
| Connection results in the minion losing the Love associated
| |
| with that character.
| |
| And because of the initially unrequited nature of
| |
| Connections, minions start with no Love.
