Gunslingers in the Dark Tower
JB Mannon:
I will be running a hack on Dogs at MACE con set in the universe of Stephen Kings Dark Tower series. It is mostly a strait setting hack with the only real changes being on the GM side of things. I am thinking of trying something different with stating out the group as if they were one character. I think this sort of thing has been tried before with ships. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on creating a group as a character. It might help to know that I am planing on using this to let the group battle against a group of outlaws.
Ry:
I didn't hear whether that method worked out; you might get better results with more traits that reference the group. Like "Mitchell will never leave me behind" or "I fear I'll betray my ka-tet."
JB Mannon:
The only problem with that is trying to get possably new players to grok that concept and be willing to roll with that.
Ry:
well, if you're playing Dogs for the first time with them, they'll have to grok to new concepts... and since the Dogs aren't always going to be a big happy family, there's also the issue of grokking to who controls the collective character, and when.
JB Mannon:
I don't think of it as one character for one player to control but as a group pool for the whole group to use in group combat. I don't think there should be stats so much as just traits that define the group. During a group conflict any player can roll in those traits.
