IAWA shocks!

<< < (3/3)

John Harper:
A "game" of Wicked is about 5 chapters (minimum), I think. Maybe 6. So yeah... in the first couple, you might still be searching for "your guy." And you might not ever find him. That's pretty unusual for an RPG, and not to everyone's taste.

Danny_K:
One thing I've run into already in my experience is that everybody starts in with picking characters and then, around the time everybody's making stats and nobody's done Best Interests yet, people start trying to make up backstory about how their characters know each other and who stole from who and all that. 

It really helps to jump in and say, HALT!  Not until we pick Best Interests!  Otherwise, a lot of unconnected character-concept cruft builds up that will clog up the nice smooth game mechanics.  It's also helpful to point out that the relationships implied in the oracle entries are totally adjustable: it's up to you if your wizard's servant guy is a loyal retainer or a treacherous bastard who's been studying magic in his off hours.
