Hey, Vados!
We’re so glad so many of you are going to be taking a break from the unfun and boring apocalypse to play in the fake-pretend apocalypse with us! Over the next one-and-a-half weeks we’ll be dropping information about our virtual event to prime you both mechanically and narratively for how we’re executing the game this month and virtual games going forward while we ride out the Plague. We’re classifying our virtual events under the title “Lonestar Skies”. These stories aren’t about Bravado -we feel we can’t tell meaningful stories about our town without being immersed in it. So we’re moving our scope to the Outlying Territories and in the case of this month - we’re focusing on the City of Light and Sound just up the Bravado line; Essex.
Bravado Bones, the document you see here (also displayed below) is the system we’re working with this month as the mechanical scaffolding for all Lonestar Skies content. If you’re familiar with the open-source Powered by the Apocalypse roleplaying systems you’ll recognize much of the language in this affix.
(Make sure you thank your local Sam Mars for creating this PtbA skin for all of us. Without him our virtual event would look very different and, frankly, not nearly as clever and cleanly executed)
Read over this document, create your character! Run games if you want! They’re not canon - in the same way all soft RP can only be supported so long as your ST team knows about it. But have fun! In a time when we’re stuck at home and missing our favorite hobby - the whole team at DR:TX really want this to be a fun tool for our pals.
Anyways! Check it out!
