I'm on SV for enough time to know that if I give the option to grind things, things will be ground.

Depends on the narrative situation, so in a vacuum is a bit difficult to be precise. If in doubt, I'll probably call an action to decide what to hit.

Aw... But that's only fair on the grinding.

Ah, so it depends which work better in the situation. I was hoping we could roll multiple times and get them in aoe traps, like flashbangs somewhere with mirrors and an accustic to amplify the noise, followed by a pepper spray bomb in a closed room.

Can't wait what will come, but stealth/planner MCs are a rare catch, so I win either way!

Hmmm, Grey Man or a Cowboy... I'd be fine with either of them so long as if the cowboy won we played into that shit.

Can we vote for more than one?
 
Sorry for double posting.
I modified the Mechanics post, hoping that it's now more readable and I added a small section on how Enemies work.

Plus, I started adding things that do not depends on character creation, like the basic features of your Casino and your starting staff.
 
*Mumbles something about still forgetting mechanics*
I add another part to the mechanics: Experience points. I did confusion with another system I was designing before the quest.

  • Rolling a 6- (failing an action)
  • Rolling a Desperate action (max Danger Level)
  • Fulfilling a long-term goal (usually resulting in an experience point for all characters in the organization).

So, the residents in the city are smart enough to learn from their mistakes.....
And I see fortune favour the bold as well...
But the long term one? I love it.
That's the biggest draw for going full in on brains, isn't it?

Once a character has 5 experience points, he can choose an upgrade. An upgrade is usually a trait, an upgrade to an existing trait or a one-off reward.

Oooh, I like that!
Hehehe, can't wait for the knife fights at first level up lol *sharpens knife while laughing*

The one off stuff will be interesting as well.
 
I remind you that tomorrow I'll close the vote and start working on the update.
So, tally time! We have a tie.

    -[X] People didn't see you coming or leaving. You were like a ghost, getting information or breaking inside locked doors with ease. These were useful skill for getting this Casino.

    -[X] Name: John Williams
    -[X] Physical Description: putting you in to words is hard, not because your features are particularly hard to describe more because of how utterly indistinct you are. You are almost painfully uncannily generic. Average height, brown hair, brown eyes, not too handsome not too ugly with a very popular indistinct hair cut. This indistinctiveness may not make you the centre of attention but frankly in your case that's probably a good thing.

    -[X] Physical Description: your ancestry are of the Comanche and of the Aztec, during your youth you were dirt poor and tried to make it by being a prize fighter and got your nose bent out of shape for all of those fights you usually lost. That's when you started to use your noggin' more than your fist and realized that there is more money to gain being the operator rather than the instrument. Now, you can also talk-the-talk to make the deals that will make you and yours filthy rich!

    -[X] Violence was your job. By gun or by knife, you took what you wanted. This Casino is of such things.

    -[X] Physical Description: Seemingly dead on her feet on a near 24/7 basis, this casino owner hardly looks the part with her sloppy, wrinkled suit that barely stays on her. She's a woman of average height with colored blue hair in a short ponytail and dull, yellow eyes, but her most striking features remain the scars on her face and chest, the marks of someone well acquainted to a life of violence.

Vote closed!

So, for those that don't know how I tend to do chargen (See my previous quest if interested), I'm not the man to leave to waste perfectly fine characters.
Plus, you start with a Named Character, so I think you can guess what the second place wins.
The other two characters will be present in the setting and they'll be interactable. If they will be friends or foes or becomes such will depends on you.
The fifth option who received zero votes ... I'll have free hand. Could be good or bad for you.
