Lee couldn’t make the Nobilis game tonight, so Randy, De, Jackie and I started what will be a short “Grade School Sorcerers” riff.
\nNotes to follow regarding character generation, opening kickers, and some observations on playing kids in a game that’s designed to create people in dysfunctional relationships, but for now, you can check out the wiki page for Grimm Therapy<\/a>, which has the PCs, their demons, a fun little customized character sheet, and the One Sheet that describes the game’s customized Humanity and Descriptors.
\nUpdate: Here’s the rest.<\/b><\/p>\n


\nSo after the golf game yesterday, I called up De to see what the plan was, since Lee couldn’t come up. To put it mildly, she was interested in getting out of the house after a long weekend, so we decided to game anyway — I said I’d “run something”. A tentative gathering time of 4 was also agreed on.
\nThis was around 1.
\nWhen we got back to the house, however, the garage door demanded attention — one of the track rollers had finally given up the ghost and snapped off its shaft, plus the whole thing needed a tightening. Between the trip to Home Depot for a replacement shaft&roller (and being amazed such a thing existed) and putting them in, it was a little before three before I got in the house.
\nRight. My Life With Master<\/i> had been vetoed by Jackie (“Not without Lee playing… that’s silly.”), Dust Devils<\/i> didn’t feel like the right genre at all, and frankly I didn’t want to grok an untried system, so that led me around to Sorcerer and the recent great ‘grade school’ thread on the Forge (previously mentioned). I grabbed up all the contributed text from the various thread participants, edited it all down to a two-page “One Sheet” detailing descriptors, lore and humanity and started putting together a character sheet (necessary, in my mind, both to capture the feel of the setting as well as to accomodate a few modifications to the standard list of Scores).
\nSomewhere in there I accidently deleted the one-sheet unsaved and unprinted, had to create it again, and had all kinds of printer difficulties, so it was unfortunately about five-going-on-six before we actually started character generation, but for a no-prep, no-warning thing, the material came out pretty darn well I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
