==PRIMARY TRAITS==
 
−
The Primary Traits for this game are Approaches, Roles. and Distinctions. In any test or contest requiring dice, you get to roll one die from each of your 3 primary traits as well as applicable assets, knacks, etc.
 
  
−
==Approaches==
 
−
Rather than measurable individual character attributes such as Physical | Mental | Social, this game will use Approaches, broad goals that an action is aimed at achieving. Approaches represent '''HOW''' you are trying to accomplish a given task. Approaches are the first of your three Prime Traits to be included in each roll along with, Roles, and Distinctions.
 
−
----
 
−
Your Approaches each start at [[file:d8a.png|24px|d8]] but you can step an approach up if you step another back to a max of [[file:d12a.png|24px|d12]] and a minimum of [[file:d4a.png|24px|d4]] If you have done your maths right your total should add up to 32.

:'''Savagery -''' ''The savage approach has you tackling a task or problem with viciousness and an utter lack of mercy.''
 
  
−
:'''Cunning -''' ''The cunning approach has you tackling a task or problem with razor intellect and shrewd reason.''
+
==Character Files/Meta Currencies==
 +
I will update the Character Table on the wiki each time I update the IC thread. Please do not update the table yourselves. I don't want anyone losing Plot Points or other resources from double subtraction. You may edit your character sheet linked in the table as much as is needful.
  
−
:'''Finesse -''' ''The finesse approach has you tackling a task or problem with subtlety, subterfuge, and misdirection.''
+
If you feel I have forgotten to update the table or that my math is wrong, let me know OOC or DM me and I will fix it. Likewise, if I make a mistake on the Character/GM Complications/Assets lists, let me know and I'll fix it. These also get updated when I update the IC thread.

:'''Rapport -''' ''The rapport approach has you tackling a task or problem with empathy and concern.''

==Roles==

{| class="wikitable"
−
Roles are the second Prime Trait, along with Approaches and Distinctions that should be included in every roll you make. If Approaches describe how you tackle a problem, the role you choose describes '''WHAT''' you are attempting to do.

[[Urchins:_Eyes_of_the_Undercity|< < < Back to Main Page]]
  
−
Urchins are required to fill multiple roles in their daily struggle for survival, but as happens, each Urchin tends to develop more in certain roles, becoming top tier skilled in one, highly skilled in another, competent in most of the rest, and abysmally less competent at that one role that just eludes them.

Distinctions are unique personal traits or tropes that set characters apart from one another beyond the pure mechanics, and are the third of the prime traits that should be added to every roll along with Approaches and Roles.

 +
[[Urchins:_Eyes_of_the_Undercity|< < < Back to Main Page]]

 +
==Mod Sets==
 +
[[Firefly:_2UW_-_Mod_Sets | '''THESE''']] are the mods we will be using for this game.
 
----
 
----
−
===Background Distinction===
+
[[Urchins:_Eyes_of_the_Undercity|< < < Back to Main Page]]
−
Urchins are orphans, forgotten and unseen, scraping by in the streets and sewers of Rattown and the Labyrinth and in the wretched depths of the Undercity. Despite sharing a similar fate with their fellows, however, each Urchin followed their own unique path to get where they are.
 
  
−
'''Sample Backgrounds''' might include Abandoned  Royal, Kidnapped, Born in the Deep, Storm Rat, etc.
+
==Plot Point Bidding==
−
----
+
PBP format doesn't work well for Player/GM back and forth, so I do my best to avoid it. This means the bidding aspect of spending PP on a roll kinda drops off. Instead, I find it helpful for players to indicate (if you are able) how many resources you are willing to spend (if any) to succeed on the roll. I will do my best to make sure those PP are spent as economically as possible to achieve your desired outcome.
  
−
===Quirk Distinction===
+
If my NPC is willing (presuming I have the PP to burn) to spend enough GM PP that you cannot succeed, I will let you know that so you don't have to burn PP if you don't want to on a failed action (though you always have the option to spend your PP to force me to spend mine in those situations).
−
Urchins are a hardy lot of survivors with their own bizarre coping mechanisms. Sample Quirks might include Obsessive Guar Chewer, Wears Clothes Backwards, Speaks in Rhyme, Kindness Tourette's, etc.
 
−
----
 
  
−
===Free Distinction===
+
If I am requiring an action of you (defending vs an attack, random notice check, etc) I will roll stakes so you know what you are rolling against, and I will tell you what PP I am willing to spend. I don't generally pre-roll for actions I think you might take no matter how obvious it might seem, because I don't want to influence how you choose to act in a scene.
−
A free distinction is exactly that. You are free to come up with any distinction that makes sense for the character and the setting.
 
 
----
 
----
−
[[Urchins:_Eyes_of_the_Undercity#Track_Your_Character | < < < Back to Top]]
 
−
 
−
==Distinction SFX==
 
−
Each of your three distinctions comes with the '''Hinder SFX''' active:
 
  
−
:[[File:Check002.png|24px]] '''Hinder:''' ''Sometimes your distinction works against you.'' Gain 1 plot point when you roll a [[File:d4a.png|24px]] instead of a [[File:d8a.png|24px]]
+
[[Urchins:_Eyes_of_the_Undercity|< < < Back to Main Page]]
  
−
After that, each Urchin starts play with two more active '''SFX''' related to their distinctions. You decide how you want to arrange those. [pp61]
+
==PVP==
 +
While a game built around factions implies a fairly significant amount of player vs player conflict, I prefer not to run games that lean heavily to that assumption. If you want to do something that directly acts against another player there are two options.
 +
* '''Unilateral Permission:''' The other player agrees to your action. No rolls are needed. Just RP it out.
 +
* '''Limited Permission:''' The other player doesn't agree that it is an automatic thing, but does agree to let the dice decide.
 +
'''Note:''' If the players involved do not agree to PVP, it doesn't happen. Move on with something else.

−
==Relationships==
+
[[Urchins:_Eyes_of_the_Undercity|< < < Back to Main Page]]
−
Relationships represent an optional trait set. Relationships won't always apply to a roll, but when they do there is good reason. Urchins don't have much, and very often in their lives it is that one other soul who really matters to them or motivates them. Add a relationship die when the person or group it is attached to is affected by or affects the action in question.
 
  
−
Each urchin will start the game with a relationship to another urchin [GMC], one street vendor, shop keeper, innkeeper, artisan, guild, etc, and one free pick that cannot be a Faction at start of game.

==Factions==
+
<u>[https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/firefly-the-second-unification-war-cortex-prime.886071/ OOC Thread]</u>
−
Factions represent another optional trait set players might access if the roll might concern that faction in some way. Keep in mind, while you can roll a faction die to get extra mechanical clout to do something on behalf of a faction, the GM can choose to add that same die as a complication to his opposition roll, where player failure means the die gets stepped back - no lower than [[File:d4a.png|24px]] - or stays the same on a tie (this is the only time a tie doesn't default to the player, it's just neutral), or get stepped up - no higher than [[File:d12a.png|24px]] - on a success on the part of the player. Two steps on an ES.

===Cache===

:The Grundle is an urchin's greatest treasure. The grundle is a carapace of elemental stone that the urchin has bonded with and allows them to explore and exploit the undercity within its protective lithic shell. The grundle cannot come to the surface during daylight hours. Grundles are rated at [[File:d8a.png|24px]] and come with five dice that all refresh at Dusk every day.

==Signature Assets==
+
<u>'''Post Formatting'''</u>
−
Each character starts with two signature assets. Signature assets are yet another optional trait set that can be added to a roll if the asset makes sense in the situation.
+
* Please bold your character's name at the top of each IC post '''OR''' bold the first instance of your character's name in the body of the post. We all game with lots of folk, sometimes with the same players in different games; this just makes it easier to keep track of which character we're addressing.
  
−
Each Urchin begins play with one Heirloom and one Keepsake.
+
* If you are addressing another PC in your post it is helpful to bold their character name as well so it stands out for them.
−
----
 
−
:'''Heirloom:''' This is a hidden treasure from someone important to the Urchin from before they were orphaned, a gift from a parent or sibling or other relative or a piece of family property that the urchin managed to sneak away with.

* OOC blocks are fine for showing dice rolls and brief OOC comments directly related to a particular post. Please sblock if you need to include large blocks of text related to your IC post.

Instead, I find it helpful for players to indicate (if you are able) how many resources you are willing to spend (if any) to succeed on the roll. I will do my best to make sure those PP are spent as economically as possible to achieve your desired outcome.

If my NPC is willing (presuming I have the PP to burn) to spend enough GM PP that you cannot succeed, I will let you know that so you don't have to burn PP if you don't want to on a failed action (though you always have the option to spend your PP to force me to spend mine in those situations).

If I am requiring an action of you (defending vs an attack, random notice check, etc) I will roll stakes so you know what you are rolling against, and I will tell you what PP I am willing to spend. I don't generally pre-roll for actions I think you might take no matter how obvious it might seem, because I don't want to influence how you choose to act in a scene.

PVP

While a game built around factions implies a fairly significant amount of player vs player conflict, I prefer not to run games that lean heavily to that assumption. If you want to do something that directly acts against another player there are two options.

  • Unilateral Permission: The other player agrees to your action. No rolls are needed. Just RP it out.
  • Limited Permission: The other player doesn't agree that it is an automatic thing, but does agree to let the dice decide.

Note: If the players involved do not agree to PVP, it doesn't happen. Move on with something else.

Expectations

Post Frequency

  • I am asking for a daily posting commitment for this game as a general rule, with the understanding that posting might be less frequent on weekends and holidays.

Post Absences

  • If you will NOT be able to post, for whatever reason, please ping us in OOC so we know what is going on or post to the Absences Thread (I pretty much check that thing every time it lights up).

Post Formatting

  • Please bold your character's name at the top of each IC post OR bold the first instance of your character's name in the body of the post. We all game with lots of folk, sometimes with the same players in different games; this just makes it easier to keep track of which character we're addressing.
  • If you are addressing another PC in your post it is helpful to bold their character name as well so it stands out for them.
  • OOC blocks are fine for showing dice rolls and brief OOC comments directly related to a particular post. Please sblock if you need to include large blocks of text related to your IC post. All other OOC content should go in the OOC thread itself. Do not post dice rolls or actions in the OOC Thread.
  • Please link all dice rolls back to your dice roller.
