Lost in the fog

 First M:UA Character This game, as far as I understand it, is based on the age old Swedish game Mutant. But is a prequel when it comes to time? And Mutant: Year Zero was based on the setting and published later, but is set before as a prequel. While Mutant: Hindenburg that I made characters for earlier in the challenge, is set after the metaplot/campaign of M:UA. I made my head spin writing that... I did read this book years ago, as it was reprinted as part of a Mutant: Year Zero kickstarter of some form (maybe even the Hindenburg one). And I remembered it as some kind of BRP/Runequest system offshoot. But I never got to play it, or even made a character. And as Mutant is my favorite setting/game as per now, I felt it as a fitting final character to do for this challenge. As per legal obligation to create a doctor that does not shy away from fisticuffs, and see how well that works out in the system. The game offers some options on how to create characters. I choose to roll charact...

 First Drakar och Demoner character Also known as Dragonbane in English. As I have the Swedish version that's the term language I will use. I played some DoD in my youth, when the game was released in Norwegian and someone had picked it up because they wanted to be rebels and not play D&D in Norwegian. Or something. The only thing I remember from that was that we were like 10 players, and it was a mix of Runequest and D&D. And it had ducks. So about as much practical experience that I had with Runequest. But the game has ducks, so I will make an angry duck. The rest is details. I will also make a note of not having actually read the rules book, so this will be a blind character creation. 1. Choose Släkte  Anka aka Duck. The book art is glorious! 2. Note Släktesformåga Vresig Simfötter So the being angry part is actually hard coded into the ducks, I just thought my memory was the player being an old Donald Duck :D 3. Choose Yrke Krigare 4. Choose age Ung. 5. Choose or r...

 Second Coriolis Character So the last one burned me a bit on the game, but I still want to see what a group would look like. Second thought is that I should look over the ship crew position skills when I allocate skill points, as the remaining positions all require a skill you have to be trained in to even use. Third thought is that if I GM this I might prefer to keep the game on a stranded colony or something, same with Alien, to avoid all the ship stuff. Traveller has more appealing space stuff to me, but that game is made for accountants so might not apply to other people. 1. Choose Background Xinghur Humanit from Coriolis (stationär upbringing) in the Kua system. 2. Choose concept Skeppsarbetare - Stuvare. 3. Calculate Anseende 1. 4 base, minus 2 for Humanit, minus 1 for Concept. 4. Choose name and appearance Name: Hameed. [The concepts does have some name suggestions, didn't see that for first.] Appearance: Sweaty face, tattooed arms.  5. Allocate points to Grunnegenskap...

 First Coriolis character Third Year Zero Engine game... I have an addiction. This is also a science fiction game like Alien, but has it's own ways of doing stuff. A bit wiser after forgetting that Alien didn't use damage from pushing, I also read up on some rules from Coriolis. There is no ability damage from pushing here either, and no general ability damage from attacks -  but rather physical and mental health trackers. So having a 2 in something is not that bad in this game either. As a thing one has to do in this game not related, you are supposed to make a group concept (that gives you a group talent, among other things) that gives you some tips on what  to take as careers for your characters. I am not going to go through the group decision hoops, but as a general concept the party will be an exploration/colonist group. After the challenge is done, I am thinking maybe play around with all these group things that games has. Like for example work out this group concep...
