maddam started his Everway game last night! All we did was character gen (q.v.) but it looks like it will be a hoot. I went in with a distinct character concept - an embittered ex-military farmer - but when we got down to it we all decided to do the random generation because it was so much faster. Then when Adam outlined what powers were available^[1], certain ones leapt out at me and meshed neatly with the cards I'd drawn.

So it turns out I'm a selfish pyromaniac human torch^[2] who likes to party.

Whee!

[1] Technically anything you can think of, but we all picked from the book.
[2] Ooh, I may steal that picture.

It's (mostly) our first time playing! We didn't know what was possible within the bounds of the game. Also, I figured by picking a pre-defined power there was less chance of accidental powergaming.

And no, by "random generation" I mean we drew three fortune cards to go into Virtue, Vice and Fate. Come to think of it, I didn't get around to the vision cards.

(I may not be using the right terminology. I'm using "fortune" to refer to the deck of 36-1 tarot-style cards, and "vision" for the larger deck of cards with meanings written on the back.)

Nope - you've got the terminology right.

I'm quite proud of the fact that I ran a dungeon bash using Everway. :-)
