Ooops! Didn't mean to steal your thunder, Chris. And you're right, I did use an Assets roll on that thug. I thought straight Charm didn't sound right, but couldn't remember why! Thanks for filling in the places where I blanked - and your writeup was great!<br>
<br>Also, I'd like to repeat my appreciation for the pimped-out version of the Cluster Gazetteer you did. It looks sharp as heck!<br><br>Kenny<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 9:27 PM, gamerchris <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gamerchris@bellsouth.net">gamerchris@bellsouth.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>I actually just published my version of our session today on my blog, which you can <a href="http://gamerchris.com/2010/07/06/adam-first-son-of-new-eden-and-other-cool-roleplaying-stuff-from-this-weekend.aspx" target="_blank">check out here</a>! And just in case you want to look at our cluster a little more, you can <a href="http://gamerchris.com/files/78039-68332/fathers_children_gazeteer___final.pdf" target="_blank">find that here</a>.</div>

<div>I remembered things a little differently than Kenny did in a few spots (I thought he made an Assets roll, amplified by his Charm, to make the composure attack in his little skirmish), but it's pretty much all the same. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>And I'll echo Kenny's summary about how truly awesome Diaspora really is. Both cluster creation and character generation were amazingly fun on their own accord, and <b>now</b> we get to actually <b>play</b> the freaking game! I'm very hopeful that a rotating referee/caller will work out well, and we even threw around a few ideas the other night about how it might work. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I ordered the softcover, and Lulu delivered it in record time, so I've already been checking out all that we did wrong and getting ready for our next shot at it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now I just need to find more time to play... </div>

<div><br>Dear Ken,<br><br>Thanks so much for this. It[s always fun to read AP reports, but this has some gems.<br><br>Profession: Corpse Broker is exactly the sort of thing that we designed that skill to do. Just great. And you are right that brawling is a good knife-fighter skill, though close combat can also be used -- knives behave differently depending on how they are used, and that flexibility is what we were trying to model (i.e. how a knife is not like a sword, and still works with the point-buy design system so as not to lose out). "Routinely underestimated" is a great aspect, and would be really fun to use in play.<br>
<br>It's great that you got to play -- the sharing of reffing was something that we discovered when we first played SotC; if that contagious quality is in diaspora, that's high praise indeed. So thanks!<br><br>Toph<br>
