Solar Worlds
Simon JB:
Damn, it's going well! At least I feel so. .D
I'm working on a 40k-ripoff world at the moment and I like it how the crunch for that is coming. I'd be happy if you'd care to take a look and give me your thoughts so far. Just remember it's still full of holes!
My intention with the Corruption crunch there is to make it rather advantageous to take corruption secrets, but ones you start you'll have to go deeper into that line, and either keep having corruption stuff, which some holy persons will probably be able to sense, or become a repentant, making your struggle against corruption a major issue for the character.
Anyhow, you don't have to look at it. I just wanted to report that work is progressing...
Eero Tuovinen:
Seems to me that you have a good basic chassis here. Perhaps a session or two of play would be in order to see which parts are put to use and which stay in the sidelines.
d.anderson:
So I put up White Pickets on Simon's Solar Worlds site, a setting for petty fears in the 'burbs. I'd like to hear ideas for Secrets that would help drive a setting like this. Thanks for the wiki, Simon, and thanks again for your work, Eero.

Simon JB:
Just read it, Dan. Very nice concept, and the implementation looks nice as well.
One thing: how could low and high pools be characterized in the fiction? I've noticed that kind of description usually helps me get my head around what the essence of the pools are.
Care to put up a couple of example starting characters? To help communicating the idea of the setting?
d.anderson:
Done. I'll also address the Pools here.
Desperation is the pool that governs whether or not you are going to get ahead in life; a character with a large Desperation Pool will have the drive to get ahead; a character with a low Desperation Pool will never amount to much. A good example of a character with a large Desperation Pool would be Daniel Plainview, from the movie There Will Be Blood.
Hatred is the pool that lets you compromise others' resources; a character with a large Hatred Pool will dominate other people at their expense; a character with a low Hatred Pool will have to give in to threats or get hurt. A good example of a character that spends a lot of Hatred Pool would be William Foster, from the movie Falling Down.
Shame is the pool that helps you to control others; a character with a large Shame Pool will exploit any weakness in others and aggrandize themselves; a character with a low Shame Pool is a lackluster manipulator of the social scene. A good example of a character with a large Shame Pool is Miranda Priestly, from the movie The Devil Wears Prada.
