RPX Rollup - Episode 14 - Red Markets

[00:00:18] Hello, welcome to the Roleplaying Exchange. This is Adam and we are doing another roll-up. Now this particular roll-up is for a game that is near and dear to many of our hearts. We were pretty much, I think, the majority of us were all

[00:00:32] backers of some form or another when it kickstarted several years ago. And I know the author is currently working on, thinking about doing a, or I guess is working on a second edition of the game.

[00:00:43] So why don't just go ahead and let's talk about Red Markets first edition and joining me today in alphabetical order are Holy crap, it's me. Hi, it's Brownie. I've been playing Red Markets for a while. I'm back to Kickstarter. It's a whole lot of fun

[00:01:01] Yeah, that's it. And up next is me Chris I would actually go so far to say that we are all veterans of Red Markets and possibly the most experienced players Up next This is David. I've been part of the Red Markets community since the very beginning

[00:01:21] Since the alpha even Still got the binder and everything And then last I'm Nick backer for the longest time and I think we even have a campaign and a couple of mini

[00:01:35] Short job lines on this website too that we've all participated in if people want to listen to that. Oh really? What are you talking about? there's Elevation run by Sean. There's a couple of gauntlets that we've done and

[00:01:51] I ran a campaign that probably is not out at this time because it is It will probably be out in a long time in the future Did you forget the the campaign about a couple of puddles? Oh? Yeah

[00:02:04] Lakes, you know something something involving, you know a land of lakes the butter campaign I blocked that for my memory Yeah, the 10k lakes and it was right a little bit more about this where we jump into Red Markets itself so

[00:02:20] Within the RPPR community with as office little sister podcast that popped off several of us here Wanted to do a living campaign. I'm sure Chris had more to do with it to me I was just kind of a plate here and there

[00:02:35] But yeah, there was we played with her friends at technical difficulties Who would did did in sir quest here? I know in sir quest here and ragnera nerd rock also showed up Not sure who else said We got pretty big it

[00:02:55] It was a sprawling mess toward the end and There were so many things that would happen and that it always amazed me because I mean We're gonna mention on cleaves here in a moment, but you know, I came back one day of my uncle

[00:03:08] He's been raised to the ground So it's just like it's kind of like the equivalent of playing Minecraft with a bunch of assholes And you're not on the server enough to defend yourself I'm saying this with a big smile on my face

[00:03:19] But despite living in the 10k lakes region and having a 10k lakes related on clave in the actual source book And being great friends with everybody who played in that campaign. I never got the call until the last episode Sorry, buddy. I

[00:03:34] Was very limited and that myself but I am quite grateful that we did that because our PX was actually Just started whenever we jumped into the 10k and just the amount of actual plays that everybody took part in just really

[00:03:51] helped us build a buffer zone to make it sustainable because We're not quite We don't get to play as much as we used to but we still got a pretty steady syndication But at back in those days it was hand-to-mouth each month

[00:04:04] We had to record that episode for that month and it wasn't pleasant. So yeah, it was rough Yeah, it was almost like we didn't take this through Chris What no Red Marcus has given us a lot There's been

[00:04:23] Supplemental books that have came out since then our good friend Sean Elevation which you can find that actual play here. He also took part in writing Veblen's goods with them was good. Excuse me, which provides I

[00:04:39] Know it's just basically more money and more things to waste your money on and to drive yourself insane Is that a safe assessment folks? I Would disagree with that every single item in there is amazing and you should purchase it today

[00:04:55] Yeah, there's a lot of fun gameplay not necessarily a lot of you know raw Advantage out a lot that stuff but boys fun and I'd like to point out the thing that I have gained the most out of red markets is

[00:05:09] The fact that I can call each and every person in this channel a friend Either directly because of or indirectly because of red markets. I mean ten K lakes especially The way that I got dragged into it was smoking a cigarette with Sean and Him saying so Nick's

[00:05:30] Characters Joles has come up and we've got an extra seat at the table. Would you like to join us for that? You're gonna have to play a Canadian sniper David did we ever actually play red markets together? Yes Have we We've played red markets a lot

[00:05:47] We have but like did we play in the 10 K together? Couple of games. Yeah, okay Yeah, I know we've played red markets a lot you and I like co GM to game

[00:05:59] Mm-hmm. I know we always stumble over the names of our podcast because they're so similar in some ways But I just want to say that here at RPX we have both kinds of our PPR country and Western true Yes This is so I

[00:06:18] Little bit of a true story before we jump into this I can remember that thing kick started in like May if I can't even remember the year But it kick started in May and I can remember

[00:06:30] Just sitting at my desk with students sitting out, you know doing whatever they were supposed to be doing and we kind of taken a Y'all just don't bite each other. It'd be alright

[00:06:41] Mama's gonna watch your stories here kind of thing and scenario just trying to get all the bidding and I was so excited that I got it I turn around tell a bunch of high school kids about it and kick starter and role-playing games and then

[00:06:52] They just looked at me It's good time Well, I've done quite a bit of talking here. Let's go ahead and introduce the world of red markets guys What what really stands out to you all about this game?

[00:07:05] The world fucking sucks the apocalypse has happened and you still have to go to fucking work At his heart Yeah That's the point though so the The world has suffered a partial apocalypse and pretty much There's zombies, but we don't calm zombies. We calm casualties

[00:07:29] There was a big problem with those and I think they're pretty much regulated by the Mississippi River, right? So everything east of the Mississippi is known as the recession

[00:07:40] Everything to the left is the loss and Canada had the shit nuked out of it. I can't remember what happened to Mexico Left alone because yeah where the Mississippi comes out Yeah, they don't really affect us or affect America

[00:07:59] One of the great things about red markets is because it's a you know mild Future setting not too far off and because it's set in places that we live and know It's really easy to come up with great ideas on games on

[00:08:14] Settings on on areas. It just kind of really flows well Yeah We'll probably get more of that Canadian Standpoint by the way folks are good friend crazy on from one less dice gonna be jumping here in a moment who

[00:08:30] Review cultist crazy on the man of many names who crystal clear Chris Canadian Chris. I'm sorry. I don't know him I've never spoken to this man before That's wonderful

[00:08:41] So hmm trying to think it's so as Chris mentioned beforehand folks everything sucks and you could still got to go to work My biggest running joke is I wanted to do a job one day where people from the

[00:08:54] Recession are going over into the loss of collector student debt. You know There's a lot of abstraction that it goes on in this game so the currency that you are using is called bounty and That is pretty much

[00:09:18] Driver's licenses that you pull off of the dead the casualties and What was the logic behind that? I can't remember that off top my head there is in the story there was a court case where When the US government retakes the West That people are allowed to

[00:09:40] Reown the land that they originally owned before the casualties swarmed over it and it was declared lost So they're sort of like a big Rush to prove who's still alive who's still dead who's dead

[00:09:53] Therefore people know like which land is up for grabs, which doesn't you know, which does have an owner who inherits what? It's all basically just a whole system to prove life or death To see who owns what land when the land can be reclaimed

[00:10:06] It's an averaging of assets out of everyone so a rich person's bounty will caught will be worth the same much as you know anyone else's bounty but it all Average is out to the average value of a bounty it's basically a gold rush and

[00:10:21] Prospecting yeah except instead of it being gold. That's proof of death. Yeah You still do have the cookie prospector though those those still exist. Yeah And that's why like it's not just licenses. It's like any government issued form of ID and Though it doesn't like if you

[00:10:39] Submit like a passport for someone on a driver's license for the same person It's not necessarily like a dud. It's just further proof that they're dead, which they like yeah, and Speaking of dead pretty much everybody who is to the west of the Mississippi

[00:10:55] that are written off as being dead and so you have these these Survivors that live in enclaves, which are as an enclave generation portion to red markets, but these people do not exist. They are dead

[00:11:12] Why people on the recession probably knows it's somewhere alive, but like the the big lie that You know, it's a dystopian future now with a very heavy-handed government is that everyone is gone and that's it so as players you are supposed to earn enough money to

[00:11:34] Get yourselves and your loved ones your dependence. That's a very big portion of this we're going to jump into in character creation get your pen dependence across the line into freedom and You can do that by the skin of your teeth and the destitute over there

[00:11:49] Or as is a favorite of Fred Marcus players once you have finished your campaign You do a Joels which stands for what branny? Just one last score It goes completely punkers. I still think tech diff is really pissed at me

[00:12:07] because I suggested tigers were involved in a job and then I never showed up to the session so I get random messages from Greg Also, let us all say hello to craze on Chris. How you doing man? You are muted Chris crazy on I was muted

[00:12:26] You are so muted. I am awake I Cries on real quick. How to can of affair in red markets. Well, let me tell you bad the DHQ s saw fit to nuke from Windsor, Ontario all the way to Quebec City thus nuke in the entirety of Canada

[00:12:50] At least according to some people so are you a survivor? Well that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger Yeah, DHQ s being the Department of Homeland Corn Texture and security is that right? Indeed. Mm-hmm. Oh the big the big bad government

[00:13:08] And then they carry in an economy. There's like a little section where it's like I'm not saying we didn't bomb them, but I don't think it's nukes Otherwise everyone in the Northeast would be like glowing or something like that. Yeah

[00:13:20] I think they tried to walk back the new king like yes, they bombed them, but it wasn't like nuclear Yeah, and before we get too far off the thrust of the game and kind of the endgame

[00:13:29] We did mention that you know your goal is to get your family safely back to The recession and either live high on the hog or or you know be a working stiff the rest of your life

[00:13:38] But there is a second win condition if you want to be that the craziest motherfucker out in the loss And become a la la which is a the last asshole left alive

[00:13:48] Which I think is a route that many of our our esteemed colleagues have gone in this game I've got a couple of characters that have retired and then I've got a couple of them where it's like I am just going to

[00:14:00] Pretend this is a car I stole and I'm gonna drive it until the wheels fall off I will point out that none of my characters Reprehensible as they are have never gone. I don't know the one that still works for the government and shows up in later games

[00:14:15] It's kind of a Recession la la in a way Yeah, she fucking sucks My favorite asshole character I've never had a character go insane, but a player of mine theirs was very near insane So they ended their whole story with

[00:14:32] They sent their loved ones to the recession and then hired someone to record them faking their own death and they just roamed the The loss trying to find like the last dependent who had disappeared while leaving the rest of the dependents thinking that they were dead

[00:14:49] Yeah, that's that's a psychosis I also feel like people who play a black math errors are basically destined to do new Yeah, it's like what do you do in the recession when you're a black math cultist? Yeah, I don't become a merchant of death selling guns the

[00:15:07] To the other people or to the other people. Yeah Your Nicholas Cage got a war. Yeah Lord of war you mean Lord of War. I'm sorry You Become you become very very much aware of the KDR and you do what you can to boost your KDR from afar

[00:15:26] Like those are the guys that hey, it's like what are you doing? I bought a lot of bombs and I am going to drop them on this particular mass that I see walking out there drone strikes Actually, I'm great. You mentioned it

[00:15:40] I think one last little addendum to add to this here We're gonna be going over the terms that we've talked about like, you know black math and other Different kind of character types you can do here the technology and

[00:15:54] The red markets world is a little slightly more advanced than what we have here It's 20 minutes into the future. Yeah So there's not a fun little goodies here to go in so I'm so excited to jump into this here So ladies and gentlemen

[00:16:12] This is not our first rodeo But it is our first recorded sessions hero for something like this and let's go ahead and roll up characters so Turning to page 181 I am using a very tangible very sizable book that has only been beating girth by haunted West

[00:16:34] You can kill a man with red markets. Yes I mean that used to be true with red markets, but there have been some beasts that have come out recently true

[00:16:43] Mm-hmm. It's lost its crown. We need a another red market. It just has to be so wooden the middle for the next version So So ladies and gentlemen we are creating takers they are called takers because I think one that like short of

[00:17:03] Undertaker but also they're taking jobs is that kind of the play of words that we were going with this? Yes Okay To quote Caleb soaks which we haven't even introduced the author of this the author of this is Caleb soaps of our PPR fame who is also

[00:17:20] working with Delta doing Delta green stuff for art dream now and Overall nice dude and game designers. So In his words here he says takers are interesting people they're bold enough to fight monsters

[00:17:33] But careful enough to live through it. They're strong enough to survive but weak enough to abandon memories of Better of a better time and resign themselves to the loss heroic opportunists brutal survey as saviors Disillusion dreamers so at a glance we're going to pick a taker's name

[00:17:51] write a week and a soft spot and then we're going to pick something known as a tough spot and Or you know we could technically row for it so I may actually even row for mine. So what do we let's go for names like?

[00:18:07] We typically aren't using our real names in this world because if we make it back We don't want our sins to follow us So you back out some good names so far one so I figured that the

[00:18:21] Often the least desirable member of the party to make is the face man the person who does the negotiations So I figured I would be our negotiator. So I'm going with deal maker David if you're Walton, you have to tell us if you're a Walton

[00:18:42] I was going with deal maker but we can I can change it to whatever we need I feel like changing his name to Walton would be perfect Row back to recession or row back to loss

[00:19:03] That would be worse. No, no Arkansas is to the west of the Mississippi. We're fine Okay, I'll do what I do in my my regular life. My name in real life is food base. So We're having fun this morning. My taker's name is cupcake

[00:19:23] Okay, please tell me that you're going to be our melee person. I kind of want to go cupcake break his legs I sure yeah, I mean that's another thing we kind of mentioned here that you know since it's a game that is

[00:19:39] So close to the world that I see outside my window potentially we generally tend to play favorites Chris is often a face man I'm often a mechanic of some kind but no today. I'll be your melee specialist

[00:19:53] Oddly enough, I am usually a the face man as brown he has said but I also Know how to work a wrench So I guess I will go with duck tails Woo-woo Well, I have just had inspiration hit me for a name

[00:20:13] I usually play somebody who is melee or shooty-shooty bang bang Typically and I was trying to think of something clever and I am going to be playing Jake brick So former truck driver Nick. Did you want to go first?

[00:20:28] You could go I'm still trying to think of a good name. I'm terrible with names. It's my one week spot Okay, well, I'm going to fall into my stereotype I'm going to go with tabernac Well in that case let me just say for you. Oh fuck bud

[00:20:51] Yeah, I'm probably gonna model my character loosely off of like the Papua New Canadian terrorist organization within red markets Who are seeking revenge for the destruction of Canada? Do we have a like

[00:21:10] Any of you plan on taking like a crossbow or a bow or anything like that at this point Not yet, but we could always use a sniper. Okay, so I'm thinking of doing like a it was like a hunter before the Crash and everything

[00:21:24] Takers name is gonna be shortcut because he knows all the way through the woods and everything. He's a bowman shooter okay, so I'm pretty good and With those great names set aside, let's go ahead and look at our spot

[00:21:39] So we need to write a soft spot and a weak spot. So folks What is the difference between a soft spot and a weak spot? well, Adam a soft spot is the thing that you are

[00:21:56] Like you think about a lot and that makes you a better person your weak spot is The point where you fall like it's your fuck-up point I've heard it better best described as the weak spot being a thing that would have been a virtue before

[00:22:14] The end of the world but is now kind of a a hang up or something that gets you in trouble Mm-hmm No, so that's a soft spot. I apologize. No, no, no, no, that's that's the weak spot

[00:22:27] The long story short of it is that these are the two things about your character that are going to be used to Give you will points back Because these are the places where you are going to mess up. These are the things that are going to

[00:22:43] Lead to you dying if this was a zombie movie This would be the thing where you go no or the audience Screams at you for making a bad decision. These are the things that lead you into Doing the wrong thing okay

[00:22:58] And I've already got one of mine. So my weak spot is used to be 1% so Before the crash deal maker was one of those people who had enough money that they didn't have to physically work I

[00:23:13] See deal maker as being a person who misses all of the finer things and because of that Like if he finds like the wait a minute these sheets have an actual thread count and they're still in the package Do you realize what kind of comfort this is?

[00:23:32] For a weak spot, I think I'm just gonna play into what I said before my person's better with faces than names I'm gonna keep going down the food-based route and this is an easy cheap shot, but Obsessed with pre-crash packaged food. I see that you want the Twinkies

[00:23:49] That's fair unlike Woody Harrelson. I will not turn down a snowball though Thank you My go-to in the beginning is the first go around I think you know being a father and stuff like that There's always been like women and children or children and all that

[00:24:08] You know kind of had a little bit of patriarchy in there, but I think this go around I just I would say Believe what would be a good word to describe like believe somebody like take some at face value Goalable. Yeah. Yeah. So I am

[00:24:29] That would be and that would be my soft spot would be probably or my weak spot would be Goalable and the soft spot is Dog lover so I used to drive around in my semi truck with my aging British Bulldog Love that Wopper Jal I

[00:24:53] Got a head, but I won those one time That's a lot of head to butt with yeah, I go it hurt So stars And a very horrible underbite toward me for a soft spot. I'll go with waist not whatnot

[00:25:07] I've got a big backpack and I've got a big backpack for a reason. I think for I'm just gonna pull from the book itself So weak spot would be vengeful and my soft spot would probably be

[00:25:23] I'm torn between protecting the weak and women and children first just because like Just because of the characters like sort of I'm just thinking of this character of like being a survivor from from Canada and like getting it down into like the American loss and

[00:25:39] After seeing all that like all the shit that happened and just like still having some kind of like More fucked up moral compass Mm-hmm as a result Well craze on or like some PTSD maybe from it but Yes, Chris. I'm just saying Chris also Chris

[00:26:04] Oh no, we're cursive Chris the reclusive So many It's annoying Honestly, okay the same problem I'm sure you do brownie Okay, so my character I Imagine them as very gullible and a dog love that's that's it so far. Thank you just created my character

[00:26:37] Gullible face man has some good role playing potential For my soft spot, I'll go with Karma is its own reward. Yeah, I think I've settled on protecting weak

[00:26:48] What'd you say you settled on I'm sorry. Oh, I just said I think I've settled on protecting the weak. Okay. Well still bench We have got to work on our tough spot So this is something one could either row for or pick it seems like we were picking

[00:27:07] So why don't we go ahead and I'm trying to find the actual page in here it goes into a bit more description It's it's 185 to 192

[00:27:16] And the tough spot is kind of the closest thing that red markets has to a class if you're looking at that from different RPGs Yeah, you'll get certain benefits and

[00:27:27] Negatives applied to you a tough spot is an association going short from the book with a group of people or a background with a sword reputation This should have Should have something to do with the takers past and how they be come to survive so long

[00:27:41] mechanically tough spots break the Break the rules of red markets in favor of the player limits can be raised vulnerabilities removed Etc etc So one of the first ones we get you have an option to is lost

[00:27:56] Lost make up the majority of people survived a class crash. Excuse me. They had to clash I survived a class, but I don't like to clash Yeah, they used to talk I understood. It's all good. They either missed

[00:28:10] Orders to evacuate or decided that such orders were bullshit and managed to get to the shelter After the military convoy abandoned them to loss as a class Where the first people realized no help was coming they were the first to discover lifelines which and

[00:28:27] Organized which will kind of go into lifelines I guess in a bit and everybody either helped establish an encoy for migrating to close ones available so mechanically the loss will get to more school skill points at character generation and

[00:28:45] Negative because there is a negative you have your legally dead It must stay in the loss or fortune you an identity Which basically just means you got an extra milestone to retire to make a new you There is bait

[00:29:00] Bait is the name of someone unlucky enough to escape Someone lucky enough to escape but dumb enough to come back for most takers That's an ungrateful bastards are good for so you're our casualty bait So you have one less milestone to get for retirement, but

[00:29:18] Your dependence which we're going to go into those which was people that rely upon you take twice The upkeep and you must basically communicate with them through the internet There are latents so latents are the ones who have been infected by the

[00:29:38] Zombie-causing virus known as the blight, but it didn't take them out all the way they are a carrier They are immune But they are also Integious and they got a really nice thing happens when they die doesn't dump it Nick What sorry?

[00:30:00] When the when the casualties die yeah, that's as you get an actual bonus don't you when the Leaton dies when the late dies. Yeah, that's why I was like wait what I Guess when the casualty dies the land is blighted nothing grows there

[00:30:17] What they're alluding to is that when someone who's infected dies They have a brief period where they are still technically alive, but the zombie virus has taken over

[00:30:28] Kind of their their decision-making things and so imagine the human being with none of the oh if I hit that so hard My arm will break in half limiters built in That wants to eat your face and apologize the entire time that you're doing it

[00:30:42] Because still part of them are alive there and I thought that horrific and I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Oh god We lost more Canadians that way We had the opposite of that folks which is also known as an immune they

[00:31:00] Have been bit but they didn't turn on our carriers. They hit the genetic lottery, but the downside is So there's this lovely shot that you can take called suppress it and it's got it's a pressin K

[00:31:16] Followed by a number if somebody would care to look up that number 579 create Aha, and do you know where that number comes from? Mmm. I sure do That would be the number of people that they scraped the bone marrow out of Or just version K of the suppression

[00:31:39] Before they found the formula that worked see the thing is that they know that immunity can be Contracted it can be shared, but the problem is That to make suppressin requires bone marrow from somebody who is immune So that means that you are a walking meal ticket

[00:31:59] Your living body is worth five bounty per permanently harvested hitbox And if you take a look at the sheet there, that's a lot of hitboxes I thought it was 20 bounty, but even then that's still a good amount of bounty. It's 300 bounty either way

[00:32:18] and it's not like anybody we've played with before has sewed somebody into medical Harvesting or anything like it. I don't think any of you all have but Never There is the believer which is you play as a member of Imagine Dragons and

[00:32:38] Never I'm joking there, but the crash wasn't just an apocalypse. It was a pops. We saw coming so You're a little what that's the best word to say for it You've got a lot of faith and set for self-control checks

[00:32:54] So, you know when you you've invested in this belief of a higher order power or whatnot, but Your humanity is very cracked when you begin this game You don't start out with the same level that everyone else is because you're justifying a lot of

[00:33:14] Yeah, yeah, we have a steward and I feel like no one should Take this away from Chris tell us about stewards. Oh buddy so Stewart is a How do I put this they are the? government aspect of The DHQ s and They're basically the CIA

[00:33:42] Yeah in the recession and loss, but yeah for credit Yeah, no, they are they're bad people who are trying to make the loss less insane for The recession and their failing

[00:34:01] Once per game mechanically if you're one of those people you can ask the government for favors on the downside But the negative too deep Trait you may only have other takers as dependents the whole crew must take self-control checks if covers brown

[00:34:18] So you're you know, you are detriment to your crew, but they're also detriment to you because they're you know You have a dependent there and if you wash your dependent die in front of you. Oh boy It's going down a bad place

[00:34:34] Operator was scarily competent and that was a problem David did you play a hustler before? No, I've never played a hustler. Hmm. I've had a couple of different hustlers in games I was thinking about that one, but I'm also leaning towards immune because immune is fun

[00:34:55] Okay, the best way to describe the hustler is this is that wheeler and dealer The person who makes all of the deals because they know a guy. Yeah This is gonna date me a little bit, but I would like to say think of Maxwell Q. Klinger from bash

[00:35:15] who had Somebody that he knew in every other base and was willing to just basically trade this supply for that supply so That's the thing. I a hustler always knows a guy Yeah So they succeeded every networking check they do even without using skill points

[00:35:34] The problem is that they also owe a guy so once per game the market can call in a debt that they owe and Personally in my games I always felt that that was It's basically that double-edged sword. It keeps you from getting to use your spot as often

[00:35:56] And so as when I was a market I would roll two dice and I would say all right the first guy that I rolled is your debt The second die that I rolled is

[00:36:08] How many times you get to use the skill for networking before the debt comes to and So there's I would give a just flat-out number that you actually get to do

[00:36:21] I know a lot of markets that the very second you make a networking role. That's when the debt comes to So if you can make it through your sessions without using mark or networking You don't have to worry about the debt but on the other hand

[00:36:38] It's it's a useful skill because you network to find information Yeah, and if you took hustlers probably basically your whole job. Yes Yeah, yeah that tracks. Yeah Now I wouldn't briefly talk about the fence band and then I'll probably call on other people jump in on others

[00:36:56] What just who left so in our Campaign it is actually Nick it is going to post this year. We're so T minus Will I post this year? I played a fence man and I enjoyed playing the fence man because you get a nice little perk for headshots and

[00:37:17] I don't want to ruin too much about that game But Nick did something to me that game I'm sure he's smugly smiling at about right this moment here cuz which one of many things are you talking about? Oh The binoculars Yes, that was particularly fun

[00:37:35] We were going to leave that a bit in the air for this but yeah, I enjoyed playing the fence man You get plus one the headshots and so if you're you know making a shooty-shooty bang bang with a rifle. That's great Though

[00:37:52] Downside is since you're a fence man and you're kind of holding back the hordes of casualty at the enclave you start a bit on the crack side and You have horrible nightmares kind of Yeah dreams and it's and you really elaborated on those. Thank you so much

[00:38:12] So craze on I haven't picked on you and I know you've never done anything with scavenger But do you like every or have you played scavenger? I have not played a scavenger Yeah, I've played mostly believers and immune and late

[00:38:26] So I was actually thinking fence men honestly for tabernac. Well go for it. I mean, I'm not gonna play yet I'm thinking bait probably but narratively it would fit with my goable kind of thing but scavengers Just to take from the book basically they are Like

[00:38:47] They're salvagers they know they are able to scavenge from the the wasteland However their mindset is The best stuff damages the ability to prioritize it so Scavengers Home is still a collection of pre-crashed trash and stray cats

[00:39:09] On so they basically they can salvage they get they start with the with more bounty than normal takers but They permanently have mine it like one less one less refresh And the Yeah, yeah, basically their hoarders

[00:39:35] Basically, yeah, this is like scavengers kind of self-explanatory really like their salva beers and and hoarders so And it's just for use in the base book. I don't think we have anything other than Roach brownie do you remember much about Roach off the top of your head?

[00:39:52] Yeah, so you you've seen some stuff and you have kind of an event that happened that makes you kind of disassociate So but but because of that you can actually sort of spend humanity in a way to assist with roles like

[00:40:10] Just check out for a second and snap back and you know, but take the shot kind of thing Mm-hmm And you also start off cracked in all three of the humanity threats. We'll get to that when we talk about

[00:40:22] Threats later on here in the end in the recording. Okay Awesome Thank you teacher for calling me out in class That is literally what I do. I apologize. I just

[00:40:36] Will make it through every class that I teach and just like you know, I'll just start randomly calling names So I get everybody so it says that little bit of like is he gonna call me? I don't know Maybe I should pay attention kind of that's okay

[00:40:47] I just had to dissociate a little bit and then I was able to answer your question Much like the Roach Feel see now So I already kind of mentioned this beforehand, but I'm thinking about bait I guess from a mechanical standpoint if I were playing

[00:41:05] Something that we wanted to do a joke from in the beginning The bait wouldn't be the best choice because I'm basically losing The one benefit for it, but narratively I you know, I'm not gonna do that last job with you guys

[00:41:20] I got family I get back to the loss for And to your point unlike a lot of other role-playing games, this is not a power fantasy so making the not optimized for the roles choice in pursuit of good role-playing good game is Completely in character

[00:41:40] So don't feel like you have to get that plus one if you're gonna enjoy playing bait from a narrative perspective Yeah, and I can also tell you from a From someone who played this character for a very long time being a steward fucking sucks Yeah, so

[00:41:58] Are you want this to go right over you think? Let's start off So I Guess I will start off first Let's think about the enclave It is an abstract concept at this point but It's somewhere in the loss and I guess I will play the

[00:42:27] Excuse me, I will play the the face brownie Well, it is a favor among melee characters to play a latent because if you get bitten you don't get infected So those aren't sprinkles Latents latents We mentioned earlier are infected but not turned

[00:42:50] As such they have black veins and sometimes have little black Penderels that grow out of their skin. So no, those aren't those aren't sprinkles on that cupcake You know just because I love the idea of the

[00:43:08] 1% or who used to be or used to be 1% just wants to be lazy now It's like why can't I just go back to the days when I didn't have to work? I want to make him a roach Except you're disassociating about The finer things in life. Yes

[00:43:25] The way that he succeeds on the rolls is just remembering this thing I remember that I used to have buttered scones in the morning Why can't I have buttered scones anymore cupcake? And I would just blink blink you mean scones Used to have strong hands

[00:43:50] Hey craze on do me a favor You don't have to do this by the way But if after I told you to do it that like it's David's gonna be a one-percent or can you be a two-percent or be like part of a Canadian biker game sure

[00:44:03] All right fair enough, I mean I was we could be the fractions or something. I don't know Yeah Um, I was actually thinking of going fence or the the fenceman simply because I was looking at the like

[00:44:18] To kind of like pull a mechanic into like the actual like narrative of my character's background Like the headshot thing is nice But Aussie I'm looking at the in my sleep like takers start cracked on one threat from nightmarish memories Yeah, that checks out for a Canadian survivor

[00:44:35] Like They're like not even just like the blight but also just like all like what happened and stuff. So, mm-hmm Yeah, so I'd be I like the idea of like him just like joining a biker gang and just like

[00:44:47] And then being the last person to survive the biker gang to get down across the border Or to get to whatever enclave we were at no Go back to angels. Yeah, I'm sure there's I Honestly don't know any canings except for the hell's angels

[00:45:06] Yeah, you start cracked in maple syrup because it's either all irradiated or coming out of the recession. Jesus Oh, no, you're right because it would be in Vermont Son of a bitch See he's already cracked

[00:45:23] We have to do it we have to do that we have to do a Bank like a maple heist That's corn syrup broke for self-control Nick what were you thinking? I was thinking of doing a steward Okay sweet

[00:45:44] But I don't know if I want to do it for the government or a particular Big corporation yet Hmm It's the moths have their own versions of stewards too Yeah, it could be moths stewards could be for any big organization

[00:46:03] My pillow yeah, the stewards are basically just black ops Yeah Okay, and you know just go as steward and if we ever use these characters I think the big reveal of that you're working for Monsanto or something would be even better Yeah, yeah

[00:46:26] I've thought of that before I just have someone who's like on the lookout for like immune Oh, no Monsanto. I was thinking of stop loss. Yeah Monsanto could also be an over here I think everybody's spoken for haven't I think so

[00:46:41] Hmm. Okay. Well, we have a sketch a roach a fenceman a steward a face a latent bait But yes hustler. That's yeah, okay hustle. Yeah, that's what the face is okay Yeah, so so we're on to set for now

[00:46:59] There's only 10 and he's kind of when we actually get the silent skills and stuff like that. We'll do that off mic So we are supposed to assign one free potential To each category of strength speed ADP is that adaptability adaptability and charisma and will so

[00:47:21] Somebody a little better with the numbers here tell me take over here so in Story everyone who is not at least Level one stats capable has died off to the zombies, you know not athletic They you couldn't outrun them

[00:47:41] Not smart enough you went out in the morning without checking the news and the zombie got you when you check the paper You know stuff like that

[00:47:48] So everyone's got base one stats for the potential and then you have five additional points that you can add into those to flesh out your character You just can't bring that starting potential above a three So everything's level one, you have five points to add into everything

[00:48:07] So so all these stats are basically what they sound like, you know strength You know what that is if you've ever played D&D speed it's kind of like dexterity Adaptability intelligence charisma will but some of those affect other gameplay pieces like your strength

[00:48:22] Tells you how much haul you can Harry Harry and a haul as a narrative amount of whatever Now the other thing is that all of your skills that are based off of that stat are capped at the level of the stat

[00:48:35] So if you have a strength of one you cannot have a melee of two There are the skills kind of nest up underneath those David's already kind of gone into Some of the stuff for strength for speed you get shooting you can self-inathletics adaptability

[00:48:52] You get awareness self-control scavenging drive and criminality Intelligence should get foresight research mechanics first aid and your specialized professions Charisma you get networking persuasion sensitivity deception intimidation and leadership Kind of popping back to adaptability there are things in this game called a refresh which is again a narrative

[00:49:12] Oh, I had that in my bag And your adaptability controls how many what I quote refresh you have and then will is is kind of like a Way to get plus ones on your things To spend to improve your roles okay and

[00:49:30] It's good to raise your skills up to the max if that's what you want now because it's cheaper to Increase skills of potential now than it is outside of character creation So if you really if you're deciding between making something a three and putting one point in something

[00:49:46] It's probably worth it to to make it a three in character creation because it's easier to bump it up to a one Outside of character creation that it is to bump it up to a three outside of character creation

[00:49:56] It makes sense to think of your character as a character like as an expert in something Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to do a brief little pause right now And we're going to kind of talk to myself and then we'll get back and share with you all

[00:50:12] What we've kind of decided and we'll go on to the next step And we're back Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we have already went through here and did a little bit points distribution So we're all going to do a little bit of show and tell to let you know

[00:50:38] What our characters look like? So first off we had to go through And go through the potentials we had five points. I Wanted to make my character, you know From playing several games. I know things that can happen. So I went ahead and upgraded my strength to one

[00:50:56] my speed To two My adaptability which uh, you know quick reflexes and stuff like that as well I put that up at three because that goes with my truck driver I left my int and charisma at one and I took an additional point in will and not to

[00:51:18] Bombard you all with numbers and whatnot, but I I felt like I needed to have at least one point unarmed one point in melee Uh resistance. I have bit that has been the downfall of my character beforehand. So with strength, you know

[00:51:33] You know raw power kind of deal I put some points into shooting and athletics, but none into uh stealth awareness which is I'm kind of using this and I've set it up a bit more I put two in like awareness and self-control but drive since that was my

[00:51:53] profession beforehand Put that up to three And then you know with the force with the int stuff. It seems like research we have to use that for You know finding jobs and whatnot. I wanted to be able to contribute that

[00:52:08] A truck driver I soon would know how to fix some minor stuff So I've got some mechanics in first aid just because it's handy and charisma wise I went ahead and put put a point in networking And I put a point in sensitivity

[00:52:24] Though my character is goal-able. I don't want to if My understanding of this game is if we don't have a point in it, we can't use it Or if we can I I think I've heard two or three different rules. You guys can correct that

[00:52:38] So I want at least Have an opportunity to figure out if I'm being screwed over but it's not So it's one of the boom or bust rules. Uh specifically it's one of the bust Or actually one of the boom rules allows you to default

[00:52:54] So if you don't have a skill, you can try to do it But that is an optional rule the way that the game is originally Or the way that the game is written is that if you do not have the skill, you cannot make the roll

[00:53:10] And we'll get into kind of how how we roll and you know what successes are And stuff later But defaulting it turns into basically a percentage chance It's like a one well one to ten chance based on what your your skill your um

[00:53:26] Your stat level is so if you had a strength of three you'd have basically a 30 chance to succeed It's very hard no matter what Okay Anybody else care to share or share what they've generated? Sure So um, I went with a strength-based character

[00:53:43] So high strength of three speed of two adaptability of two In chris move one and two will because feta mox will is useful um high on the Um melee attacks absolutely no ranged whatsoever Stealth and athletic like you'd expect Um

[00:54:01] And and just basically exactly what the character sounds like everywhere else But my profession skill is in baker, which I'm sure will absolutely come into play So, you know the muffin man I am the muffin man

[00:54:17] All right, um up next is me. Um, I am playing dr. Henry jones And I am very upset that people keep calling me indian We can call you cleveland instead if that's better But yeah, no, um, I I am playing a high intelligent character

[00:54:40] uh profession and marine biology High first aid high research Um some self control and awareness, but I I am very much someone you want to keep in the background I am not a good fighter. Yeah, I guess I'll go next um

[00:54:59] Yeah, so my character I'm going with um Strength speed and adaptability of intelligence is one Uh my charisma and my will are two and I kind of go it went with since my character's kind of like a former biker I've got drive and some mechanic stuff

[00:55:15] Uh, uh some melee but mostly shooting um some criminality and stealth and athletics and such and uh a little bit of sensitivity But uh and some self control But it's it's basically like ones and twos across the board so I guess that's me then so, um

[00:55:39] As the party's face man Most of my skill points went into charisma base skills. So I've got networking persuasion sensitivity deception and leadership all at two So I'm good at being very charismatic except when it comes to intimidation. I just cannot intimidate

[00:55:56] Which kind of fits for a somewhat nebish formerly rich guy that is now having to get out there on his own and do stuff with his hands Hold the horror um, he actually has awareness and self control also at two because

[00:56:11] Let's be fair. I'm not an idiot. I know the most often rolled the things in red markets Our self control and awareness Yeah, that's coming. Those are the two roles you never want to miss ever um

[00:56:28] I've also got shooting at two and athletics at two so that I can dodge when people are shooting at me Or trying to bite me with their dead dead teeth And shoot so that I can stop them from doing that

[00:56:41] I also have a melee of one because I feel like he was forced to take fencing because rich person Okay, I guess that leaves me for last. Um I have a strength of one speed of three adaptability of two

[00:56:55] Into charisma of one and a will of three got to maximize those will points um I went with a get my skills as high as I can or the ones I care about as high as I can And I purchased the rest later

[00:57:07] So I have shoot a three and shoot crossbow three. I plan on taking a crossbow. So I need that specialization skill um And I wanted that to be as high as possible

[00:57:18] But in order to do so I needed to shoot a three. So that's why both number three um stealth athletics at three Awareness self control at two chromelia two and then I rounded out resistance and foresight at one Awesome I think that is all of us here. So

[00:57:36] I guess the next part we're going to work on here is our Dependence if I'm not mistaken So dependence are I believe based on the number of charisma you have so if you have one charisma You have one dependent and um

[00:57:54] I yeah, I think I have uh, I'm going to take my character's sister She was the one who I got him to go out to the loss to pick her up her and her husband and child and uh

[00:58:12] Push come to shove and husband and child have made it over Uh Grewed us over and made it back over into the recession We can figure out that family dynamic and if it was a choice or A noble sacrifice or whatnot. I don't

[00:58:29] It kind of is a rule of thumb. I don't want to just even though it's a game. It deals with like misery I don't want to make every aspect of it a misery machines for my character. So perhaps uh, Him and his sister and we'll call her Denise

[00:58:45] uh, basically I push come to shove and uh, they were the The father and the son were the only ones that could make it out There we go. I have a Denise Okay, dude Oh, you could have a denf you

[00:59:00] You were really like working through a thought there. I'm just gonna say It's it's that's the crux that I'm gonna build my character on I think so it just gotta That's the word they actually start becoming human to me Okay That's fine. Just saying

[00:59:16] um, so for my character, um, I imagine her as a very passionate person who somehow survived and Managed to get a couple of uh, Interns to come with her We're all we're all from the aquarium Yeah, so like somehow we have managed to travel east

[00:59:43] And not die in the last five years and that's made us a very crazy people And and if you're dependent be named Dory or Nemo Oh, yes, of course No, we we've taken on names. So Dory and Nemo

[01:00:04] Would have been better if it was like Sala and Marianne, but that's just me God I just imagine like you guys ending up as uh, uh, not the not the uh, what kind of believers is like the the scientists that have gone lost up the uh

[01:00:20] The crusade. Yeah, it's some kind of like a crusade group that like but like they're marine biologists Oh, no, no, I am 100% like very close to the crusade nice By the way, my my uh, Characters takername is ahab No

[01:00:45] My dependence as a biker or as a former biker I have the mongrel Also known as my old bike my my old motorcycle that I need to constantly like i'm trying to fix up and like Just repair and it's it's basically like my baby

[01:01:01] Um, it also has a bunch of like patches on it for my old uh from all the all the my uh, my brothers who didn't make it um And then I have mared otherwise known as the little shit my younger brother My younger brother who I dragged

[01:01:18] Dragged away from our uh, from our radiated home to uh to to find a better life in loss And he's the only one who survived out of the between me and the uh, the rest of the the motorcycle group that we uh

[01:01:33] That rode off away from the hellfires Tobber knock The mongrels have motorcycle gang brownie. It is Yeah, uh, I actually when I quickly looked up googled earlier um mongrels or like biker gangs in canada and apparently there is a chapter of the mongrels in quabac so

[01:01:53] It also seemed like to fit for like an old bike that uh, I have to like kind of patchwork together. So Okay, I guess I can go next. Yeah, you go ahead brownie

[01:02:05] Yeah, my mine's short and sweet. Uh, I only have one charisma, which means I only have to have one dependent. Um My dependence name is sourdough. They worked in the bakery with me, uh, but will not make sweet things which just breaks my heart

[01:02:18] So I guess you don't know the muffin man I told you I am the muffin man God the muffin man should definitely like a cat like like some have like stalker cash or aberrant as like they live on dreelay Well, correct. Oh, hey

[01:02:34] David you and I we've been working on aberrants, haven't we? We have and one day Why was it with the muffin man? I'm getting this. I've uh, what was that breaking bad his alter ego Uh, heisenberg heisenberg Could be could be if I crack Oh, no

[01:03:00] Wasn't the muffin man nursery rhyme like really just like a nursery rhyme for a serial killer or something like that? Yeah Yeah, um, yeah, well Let's just say every time I lose the self control check. I have to yell you don't want to meet the muffin man

[01:03:14] Oh god That is ominous. I love you really love that. Yeah So my dependence for all my former, um, servants So I've got mrs. Tompkins the housekeeper then there's miss kensington the maid and they will tell you that there is a difference between the two

[01:03:35] And then there's winds are the old butler all of whom are completely unable to work wink And staying at the enclave while I have to go out and take um, I feel like giving them to the different players to um role play in the

[01:03:56] vignettes is going to be super fun for me Because I want to hear all of the excuses why they can't work anymore and why they're making this rich bastard Get out there and do all of the things Gonna be glorious All right, um, who's the steward again?

[01:04:13] Ah, that is me Nick I believe you have to decide who you want to be your dependents. Okay um, well, I'm a steward which means that I need to Take one of my fellow takers as a dependent Uh, fortunately I have a chrism of one so

[01:04:31] I'm not going to go crazy when all of said takers die. Um, not that they're gonna die anyway. Um, But I was thinking of um As long as it's okay with with david I was thinking of taking walton as a dependent Absolutely

[01:04:48] Sort of probably when like everything was going out was was starting out with the crash You probably had no idea what was going on and I could have helped like guide you to the enclave or get you to that initial Safe spot. So that's how I

[01:05:02] bumped into you and know you I absolutely love that. Um, and The thought is or the thought that I had just kicking through my head which Yes, no, maybe we don't know who you are actually a steward for

[01:05:18] If you had actually been a steward for the family's corporation That would be hilarious to me. It's like somewhere on the other side of the loss There's the actual family going We've got a son out there somewhere It's been a few years

[01:05:37] What if i'm like the rival corporation to your family taking keeping tabs on you? I like that I like honestly. I don't know what I like better. You work for targets Oh my god Yeah, first canadian Here's another good question for you nick with your one charisma

[01:05:57] Steward if you have to have one of your fellow takers be your dependent and say, I don't know david dies Do you then have to move on to the next one in line and the next one in line?

[01:06:08] Um, I guess that would be a question for whoever is Is running um, whether I'd have to go out and try to make a new dependent or just Hook uh hook myself onto the next taker. Oh, no, no, you're pretending that they're the same person

[01:06:23] Oh, oh no, or maybe it's like safe and private walton You just got to go out and find the other then that go down the line So there's that like all of a sudden a new job where we got to rescue the other walton

[01:06:34] Looking for actors that look like this person No, no that's perfect because that gives us into the other rpg trope of David dies and he's an identical brother with a slightly different name and the same stats shows up Yeah, and I can't wear that

[01:06:47] Yeah, I do kind of like that. Dear god. Do you know how many increasingly? Uh more Foppish things we're gonna have to add because it's not going to be a cowboy hat

[01:06:57] Okay, but the release my brother is going to have a heidelberg dueling scar and then the next one will have the scar and a Monocle Also keep in mind though that this is the apocalypse. So like it's going to be like increasingly frayed Yeah

[01:07:14] Yes, like the monocle is cracked when we find it By the third one, it's just going to be a feral guy Who's like only survived by like doing things? He's not he's not comfortable sharing what he had to do kind of so The the cracked monocle is

[01:07:32] The pause So has come out of cans for the last seven years Cads man What is your favorite preparation for human flesh? Smother than covered Is that all of us did everybody get a chance to speak? Yeah, I think we did abc order

[01:07:53] Sweet so we went ahead and took advantage of the time while we were off mic and we went ahead and went on a shopping spree. So uh shopping montage music We I think everybody here just had 10 nobody was doing scavenger

[01:08:09] So by the way these items cost you an upkeep. So your items own you And that's a very big thing for red markets. So I went ahead and took a handgun and I wanted to upgrade it to

[01:08:21] I love how red markets abstracts bullets and stuff like that for charges I mean you could have an ar 15 of 30 round magazine, but you still got 10 charges uh that you could spend on it so you can divide it up in your brain however you want

[01:08:37] So i'm not burning through that Uh you big friend of place Yeah I went ahead and went for ubexpex which are you know google glasses essentially and uh, so my dependance got to speak with the The family over in the recession. So it kind of works with it

[01:08:59] I bought off the hungry part of it because Each usage would what without buying off hungry it pretty much is two it's two for one use, right? Correct. So instead of getting the full 10 charges out of it, you only get five. Yeah

[01:09:14] So it seems made sense to me. I went ahead and bought dead eyes just to give myself a little bonus for shooting And after being placed in the dark by I think chris

[01:09:26] Before in a red market scenario, I went ahead and bought a flashlight and upgraded it so I could mount it on my gun So my flashlight when I'm looking at stuff is me holding a gun looking at a book in the dark, but whatever

[01:09:39] And uh, finally, uh, I think I had one left unless my math sucks and somebody catches me But I am an english major and I went ahead and picked up a club

[01:09:48] Just because you know, some people may need a swatting or swarping as we call it in eastern kentucky So that's uh that was my shop in montage. Uh anyone else care to share their purchases? Sure That would be me. Hi

[01:10:04] So again, I mentioned no ranged whatsoever. Uh, so with a war hammer, of course, it's the only way to go With you with upgrades, uh with all these melee weapons

[01:10:15] If you don't get them sturdy every time you hit something with them, they lose a charge until they break So of course I bought sturdy And I also bought potent because who doesn't want an extra point of damage

[01:10:26] I bought a helmet for obvious reasons. You can only really Don't don't kill me because if you kill me and not shoot me in the head I turn And I added a headlamp because again, I've been in the darkness with uh with chris

[01:10:40] I got ubex specs again because it's very useful to have the internet everywhere you go I got gulnet because uh, it's basically like tacnet or or something like that If you've ever played a game that has that option where we can all share

[01:10:53] Video amongst each other and communicate a lot more easily and I also bought apophina which helps me scavenge because I got to find those twinkies, right? Uh, I got some ddjs because often when you're twinkie honey

[01:11:05] You have to go strange places and you got to block up the way behind you so that uh casualties can't get you And also sent blocker because well if i'm bitten I don't turn I also don't want to be bitten. It just doesn't feel good

[01:11:17] And I got to be dhqs issue because I don't want to stink Like I don't want to have to take a self-control check just because I put my ascent blocker on That's it Okay, uh Chris do you want to go first? sure um

[01:11:31] Mine's pretty simple. Uh, I went with the uh, there's I there's gear packages in the get in the book um, so I took the the scout gear package and then modified it slightly um So I have the binoculars because

[01:11:46] Like just walking around it and like or like driving or getting around in the uh the wasteland you want to have Some way of scouting around and know what's coming Uh standard handgun because it's a staple um ubex specs Because ubex specs are handy

[01:12:05] And uh, I traded out the sent blocker from the scout package with kevlar Um, so I assume like under my my biker jacket. There's just like a bought some some body armor But uh, yeah, that's basically it. Um, I did add the upgrade

[01:12:23] I have my handgun is silenced. So Um, yeah, that that's basically it. Okay so for me, um, I have Uh a handgun ubex specs and a dronky The only thing that has been upgraded is the handgun and it is silenced My dronky is named quick wig That's all

[01:12:49] So that takes it to me. Um Mine is simple. I've got upgraded ubex specs because They're useful and uh fully upgraded handgun So mine is silenced extended magazine and um Did to do what else did I do to it?

[01:13:07] Hold on here. Let me see what we did. Uh, so balanced extended mag Silenced and I did pick up automatic so that if I have to bust multiple caps I can do so Um, the only thing that I don't have on this thing is

[01:13:22] Well, yeah, the only thing I don't have is balanced. So it's mid-range only Or short range only And then for the ubex specs they are Uh no longer, um Why is it showing antipersonnel life? Oh no Ubex specs

[01:13:46] Antipersonnel ubex specs. Yeah, so they they explode. No, um, so I've got them optimized And I have an upgrade purchased or um, I have one of the apps purchased and blanked out But I don't have which one it's going to be Um decided yet. So

[01:14:06] Basically the thought is whichever what the group calls for The one I was gonna grab now we um Since we've got somebody with gulnet, I do not need that one so I'm either going to pick up dead eyes and basically turn into our

[01:14:23] Our negotiator slash aggressive negotiator or I'm going to pick up, um Not a puff and a here to strigger guard the one that lets me just kind of go

[01:14:32] Just please show me the bunnies show me the bunnies instead of the why are all of the buddies stabbing each other I know you said that first option was negotiator slash aggressive negotiator, but I think what you really meant was, um sniper forger Yeah Yeah Sniper forger

[01:14:55] I have to do it now. So dead eyes hack Okay, um, I guess that just leaves me in shortcut. Um, I guess that he has a crossbow Um, I bought off tactical. So that means it is no longer clunky, which means I can make stealth checks

[01:15:11] Which is good because it's annoying to not have to make not being able to make stealth checks when I have a stealth of three um, and then I purchased ubex specs A helmet

[01:15:21] And then finally a cell jammer for when I do those steward-like activities people can't radio out for help Um, there are no upgrades for any of them. I plan on buying probably 99% of the upgrades for all my equipment as missions are completed

[01:15:35] Will or no will your cell jammer affect my drawn key? It prevents any signals from being sent by ubic devices. Oh, no Oh, no Drunk he's going free range for big Oh, no God

[01:15:55] Before we're completely off of equipment. I know that a have is a marine biologist, but why is the drunk he named after a national copy chain? Fair um Because the national copy chain is named after the fucking Book

[01:16:13] It's fine. It was it was a stretched callback. I couldn't resist though. Yeah fair So guys like we pretty much have got this done and if we were just going to quit right here We would the only other thing that would be to discuss is like campaign stuff

[01:16:29] But we uh, do have a little bit of time here. So I propose that uh We go ahead and look into Enclave generation And uh, let's come up with something real quick and figure out where these characters are being placed

[01:16:46] And uh, yeah, we'll kind of take it from there and If we actually go back to these characters in a game then we can kind of set campaign goes and whatnot But maybe having that foundation would be great for our listeners Well, I would suggest a coastal

[01:17:02] Just for my character okay I mean, I'm I'm not against it. Uh you talking like California or can we go up? Uh, you know Portland, I'm not portland, uh, but washington state and whatnot. Yeah, of course like, uh That that is my only suggestion so Hmm

[01:17:24] Anybody know a lot go ahead if we want to tie in another one of our games that we played Uh, you know because i'm doing all the callbacks today. We could put it in forks Well, we have to now damn it god. They have it

[01:17:37] We're back to uh Is that a is that a vampire cut out or is that a cat? I can't quite tell Nick are you okay with twilight red markets? I guess So why don't we call our enclave sunset then I Evening yeah

[01:18:04] Okay, so we already have our enclave name which is a sunset. Is everybody cool with that? Works for me. Yeah. Okay. Yep And orcs washington is the uh Location. Yeah, so Regal me Are you pulling it up on google maps? I'm google mapsing for I do it

[01:18:27] Oh god, somebody's doing it staple in red markets the enclave generation is to just use a use is just a google maps And the part of the reason why I suggested forks is it's also near kind of the edge of canada as well

[01:18:40] So I don't know where our canadian friend, um exited The north I probably went east to west and then went down I You got that last ferry onto victoria. Yeah Ended up in ita ho and you're like no, I'm gonna drive into the ocean

[01:19:01] Uh, did you say ita ho or ohio? I guess it's the same center. It's it's it's like I've been to both So forks washington is a little town, um, but you know where twilight is set. We all know that

[01:19:13] Um, we've all suffered that hold on disassociating. Okay. I'm back Um, it doesn't have a lot in it other than what you'd expect in a small town other than the vampire stuff Uh, but it has a really nice timber

[01:19:26] Like a lumber museum like a timber industry museum there And then everything you'd expect a small town to have schools sports fields stores Little museums that are kitschy in the pacific northwest um So that's a good start

[01:19:42] Lumber would be we can go ahead and just say lumbers are export Yeah, holy shit. There's so many rivers on this map So many rivers, which is actually a good thing for an enclave because Water or running water is one of those things that the blight can't cross

[01:20:00] Yeah, it it works Also vampires, what do you know? Um It's and it's not what most people think of when they think of a rainforest But it is actually in a rainforest and yeah, I mean that figured into the twilight movies, but it rains a lot a lot

[01:20:14] Also defensibility wise, um, they're also right next to the uh, Uh, mount olympic, uh national park area So things aren't going up over that mountain exactly like there's a lot of especially on even in the north

[01:20:27] Like there's a lot of like like basically there's a whole like mountain that goes all the way to the the edge of the coastline there And we also have to worry about the federal bureau of control Yeah, of course. Yeah

[01:20:39] A lot of people that come here come here because it's the furthest point away from that point of control Yeah um, so yeah, like there is a lot of like Like the elevation

[01:20:49] That's nearby like you're on the foothills of the map of those mountains and like the rivers and stuff It's pretty well isolated and good for Against like casualty stamp. So we've got location. We're kind of working on defenses now. We've got the natural ography We've got the rivers

[01:21:07] The mountains I think it would just be natural topography and isolation. That's that's yeah Good enough So do people kind of live in the town like it's a town and just live in houses or have people

[01:21:18] Kind of fortified an area in town. Do they have a big fence around the The old high school or something? Uh, what do you think? You know that kind of sounds The high school would probably be the biggest area and the biggest spot where people would congregate

[01:21:33] So the high school is one of two things. It's either the place that everybody fell back to That became the safe haven or the unsafe Because the question is did the outbreak happen inside or outside of the school? Clearly it happened a graduation

[01:21:51] There's probably a fence around the perimeter, but it's probably not like a big heavy duty like wall because yeah, there's probably not too much um casualty Foot traffic so you have to constantly clean the casualties off the fence so it doesn't collapse and patch holes and worn spots

[01:22:07] Yes, I'm thinking that there's like a chain link fence, but there's a palisade outside of it. You know the uh classic We're just going to take a bunch of sticks. We're going to sharpen the end of them and we're going to stick them pointing out

[01:22:21] Um every so often because when the casualties run at the sticks They make you know dead kabobs Yeah As we talk about this and oh by the way, I went ahead like feel free to add to the

[01:22:34] To the dock. I dropped that into the chat, but as we talk about this I keep thinking I would like we you should do like wide scale kind of going this place in that or To degree

[01:22:47] I kind of like the idea of it be this being something since we've already talked about Some stuff set up with forks that this is more of a micro Kind of environment that we're dealing with here. Maybe we were just pretty much in Washington state

[01:23:01] and maybe this is uh, we can actually frame this type of game as It is a we're the town we are Setting it up or we've set it up and we're trying to make it sustainable

[01:23:13] So like if everybody's at the it's a school it's like the main living area and it's a whole place Then we're going to have to some of the jobs early on

[01:23:21] Is going to actually make the the exports exportable so to speak so we're gonna have to probably relocate like Solmule Stuff. Oh, I I like that actually The other nice thing about this is you know, even with the isolation

[01:23:36] It's not that far of a stretch to have to go do city jobs in seattle Yeah, yeah, or what was your angeles? Oh, man, yeah, I'm just looking at it like man. We are like really just like It like there's

[01:23:51] Like the the blight is gonna have to happen in like within our little like area really to get to us aside from like A few like choke points. Well, the blight comes in with people fleeing. So like there that's true. Yeah so

[01:24:06] There is uh, there may be a very strong No outsiders kind of and that I'm getting ahead of us here as we go through the checklist

[01:24:15] But you know, you had the first generation or the first comes and then or the founders and then you have the people who have Engraciated themselves into the community kind of thing like that

[01:24:26] But so let's look at the dock real quick before we get too far ahead. So I've heard of course sunset Forks Washington. I mentioned rainforests and just had tons of rivers and mountains natural defenses its rule and the town is basically hold up at the high school

[01:24:43] And history, um, I mean, I'm just randomly putting stuff down here. It's a small town Can you all think what what was some of the other besides twilight? A log in industry former log in industry Logging industry. It's also a national park. So you have vacationers there

[01:25:03] You could have an influx of initial people coming into the town as refugees from Seattle that either had family in the area or you know wash twilight Um, also we'll be remiss if we didn't mention the indigenous population Mm-hmm I had just like sam jitoum small notes here

[01:25:26] Can I can I throw out one other possible? Blight injection vector for us. Yeah So you we all know Pacific Northwest The story of the feet that wash ashore right the ones The empty shoes the shoes that wash ashore that are not empty

[01:25:42] Because the rest of the body has rotted off and it's just the foot that's protected in the shoe that comes up on shore during storms Blight makes the corpse a lot more sturdy So there are when the big storms come through there are waves that wash up

[01:25:57] That is water doesn't kill the blight, but the blight can't swim in it So we get an influx of casualties every time there's a storm Oh, there's an ocean current that brings casualties down the coast or up the coast That is so cool

[01:26:10] That means just like just like the shoes that wash ashore. Yeah Yeah, that also I guess means that like the push is basically going to be our like first life defense Or at least like the first uh

[01:26:21] Like that area because like that's where the the water's coming from is from like the coast So the beach from the movie in twilight. Yeah. Yeah It explains why A marine biologist is a taker Yeah

[01:26:34] And and yes, that's an influx of danger and yes, that's an influx of Infection vector but it's also an influx of cash because you know what else is made out of plastic and doesn't rot bounty Yep This is so cool

[01:26:50] Also, that's another part of interesting one of our exports bounty Um, also just as a side work. We're a cash rich enclave apparently bounty and shoes Yeah, I don't know if this falls into anything that we could use but uh quillute airport is a thing Yes down road

[01:27:10] from forks Oh, yeah, I was gonna suggest having that be like a uh A competitive enclave. Oh, yeah. No. No, they should be actually be more successful than us too. Yes Yeah, I kind of like it be the cohabitation

[01:27:26] aspect of it too again, that's maybe it's just because of previous experiences It doesn't all have to be sunshine and rainbows But you know, I I kind of like to see us in another community be like friends and foxholes Yep

[01:27:43] Uh, so if you if you don't mind brownie, can you just can you add in what you you all were saying about the The ocean current and the people like

[01:27:53] Is that so we we said lumber and bounty is our exports. What about imports? What have we got here? Uh, we can't have everything that we need So that's going to be a big thing is

[01:28:06] We're going to have to have something that we really really have to have something that we really need I don't see a lot of arable land around for I also feel like we need power Yeah Like power and food

[01:28:20] We do not have electricity is true if we did hydro then all of a sudden that messes with the current So I mean they got the third biggest hydroelectric dam on the uh Coolie dam or whatever That probably supplies that I think that if we put well

[01:28:36] So here's the thing. I think that we can keep electricity for the enclave but Make food a very scarce thing like for some reason hydroponics just doesn't work for some reason um We can't feed ourselves

[01:28:51] In this enclave we're going to have to go far somewhere far field for food If we want to keep electricity as one of our big imports. Yeah, the hydrodam is there But they are it's it's controlled by a competitor group that tries to squeeze us out

[01:29:07] I was demands a lot from us to keep that power flowing Are you saying randians? I was yeah, I was going to suggest Randy the randian is the uh form in there. Yeah are in charge of the dam

[01:29:18] Seriously that guy god damn randy. Yeah one of these days I'm glad we were all thinking it because like I was definitely late. It's like well, what if the dam was run by randians We are remiss if we don't explain like because we never did come up with

[01:29:32] Those different kind of like groups in the book or we mentioned black math Which is just basically trying to get a get a good kill count before you take you exit this world And but the randians are based on an ran so they're like shitheads hyper capitalists

[01:29:49] Yeah, time is money If you get the vibe of red markets Anything you think that the writer might hate or make fun of is probably a competing, you know bad group Yeah So let's see so We can't do food So

[01:30:12] It's a rainforest and there would be plentiful food Okay, no, um electricity. I think would make the most sense so import. Okay Is it too? Sorry. Is it too? Fraggle rock that the randian cult of the randian group that owns the dam are known as the cold ones

[01:30:30] Go for it. I love it honestly. They're just like, yeah, they're just they're or that's That's like we're just in yeah, they're just leading into like the vampire like the vampiric nature of it

[01:30:43] Clearly since we are friends with the quillute and you know our like friends and foxholes. We are team Jacob while they are team edward. Oh no That's one of the exports. They want all of our edward cutout standees Love and hate it at the same time. God. Yes

[01:31:00] You guys are alive for making this too big tiresy. We're gonna have to fucking play this Oh Yeah Yeah, I needed this by the way. I had to give a co-worker a ride back

[01:31:11] To one of the janitors at my school a ride back because I've seen along the way And I've casually mentioned that I had to read twilight for a podcast And then he read it by choice

[01:31:23] So it was a good 30 minutes of me sitting in a car trying not to The book that he loved the books that he loved Oh, no, he liked it. No, I never found one of those Wow So local competition like we're exporting but local competition is also

[01:31:44] Would you say that? So we're we're quillutes friends. I mean we can have taker groups that are quite lewd That's still competition. It doesn't have to be, you know, we hate you competition yeah so competition

[01:31:59] There's a there's a taker group from the randy and cold ones group called team edward They're all named edward Like all their taker names are just like i med but just in like different ways Eddie fast eddie edward ed There's a ted occasionally thrown in Maybe a tedward

[01:32:19] Oh, I could definitely see a tedward We're gonna have to just lean into this stuff here with the v. I. P. Sir's gonna be chuck. We have to have charlie Yeah, i'm down. Yeah, we had yeah. Yeah, let's do it. Sorry. All right

[01:32:36] Oh, no, we just need to bring back the gumshoe characters. Yeah, I kind of feel oh yes all of them They're here now because the flight to cleveland got delayed right at the last minute. They're like shit

[01:32:51] What was the taker crew called at the at the dam? I'm sorry uh team edward. Thank you There definitely should be an edward. Oh as well in that Just like all the different variants of ed

[01:33:03] One of the v. I p one of the v. I p's be a reclusive morman rider Yes Oh, they uh, I feel like they should be like a lala somewhere out in the in the woods Or that could even be a job

[01:33:18] I'm not gonna have to get the last We're being paid by by a publisher in the recession to get the last manuscript from this fucking For some reason everybody loves her books And she lives in what was the cullen house in the movies. Oh god

[01:33:35] I have three thoughts on that Like I also kind of want to see there being a concurrent job. That's a closure job Bring me the head of this author No, no

[01:33:45] I don't want just want proof of dead. I want you to send me her head in a box Nick, I'm sorry arcatharsis Is is is bleeding into the red markets into the red markets game we have shoot we have uh, we have pulled you into

[01:33:59] No, it's just fine. I'm just here for the red That's very it's very studious of you. We uh, we've made it through between brownie craze on and out We've read three of the four

[01:34:11] Books this year marks the fourth one. I look forward to it much like I would look forward to a Rory canal, but um So okay, we're cool. So we got the competition. We got to kway ludes. We got the social structure

[01:34:30] So I think we've let's go ahead and start Uh social structure. What do you guys think? um This is basically like how how does the how does the town run? How have we decided to keep things going after What happened?

[01:34:45] We do the first come second come kind of like the original and then the people have migrated in and been Adopted Yeah, no, I Sorry con jukers. Sorry. I'm sorry. I was gonna say like uh, the usual structure is

[01:35:06] The first like the people who live there first and then it's followed up by the The arrivals Yeah, and that's what changes things Yeah Okay, does the town have a mayor? Is it a city council? Is it a council of elders? What does that look like?

[01:35:26] I'm thinking city. I like the idea of city council. Maybe it's just because we played uh Forge the serpentine within the past year and they had the tricks gudane and stuff like that. So like having a council would give

[01:35:38] You know, it's kind of a rich field for for the market to pick like it's one of them kind of like Doing some shady shit kind of things like that So we don't have everything all the evil and all that kind of consolidated into one kind of area

[01:35:53] Okay So the city council or the historical society, maybe we should call it that. Yeah, actually Yeah, that's more fun. Honestly Yeah And it also kind of like ties into like the founders roots and stuff like that like and We've been here since the beginning Yeah

[01:36:14] For the greater good The greater good the greater good Okay, uh now let's kind of delineate a bit here possibly with the society structure, so we have I think we would have two main kind of jobs that wouldn't we like people are either going to be Forging

[01:36:38] Or they're going to be uh doing lumber like Lumberjacks Actually, I think there would be three jobs fishing Okay Oh Four jobs. I didn't even think about a fishing. Um, there would be foraging there would be Fishing there would be lumber

[01:36:55] And there would be defense because this is an actually pretty Population dense area Oh, what was the name of the wolf pack or was this wolf pack? Hang on it was something's boys. I think or You're making me look up more twilight stuff. God damn it, Adam

[01:37:13] Well, actually going brownie because he he bit on my joke of twilight the yulees You Was uh because sam yulees pack all right I think I called them the barkie boys when we were doing our recording Barkie bark in the

[01:37:35] So the yulee bark in the latent bunch is going to be one of the uh, oh my oh, yeah. Yes. Yes Barkie bark in the canon Cannon Yeah, so we got to yulees or defense. We can also go with can we just come lumberjacks for yeah

[01:37:53] I kind of feel like a bunch of yeah a bunch of former loggers that are working out of the camp known as the lumberjacks works Perfectly for me. How about instead of the lumberjacks? Um, I was gonna say like uh, the men in plaid

[01:38:05] Men in plaid men in plaid definitely works Forster Again, I just love that. It's like we uh the men in plaid um, we would be remiss. Um, this being the pacific northwest that there were not, um

[01:38:19] Planned destine pot farms in the woods. There is one right now actually in the town Sorry didn't mean to catch up I like the idea that even though it's legal

[01:38:31] There's still a lot of red dusted farms. That's what I was getting at. It's it's less of a stigma now, but Also the game was born in in a time when there that was still a thing Yeah

[01:38:42] Yeah, I just like right next to the or near the uh john's beach combing museum which Dear god that I I keep I think of that and I also think of the the feet that roll up on shore

[01:38:54] Beach combing is what we call when we take out the casualties to come after the storm Yes, yeah 100 Um Yeah The beach combing is what we call um, uh the the uh the feet thing Yeah, just you know finding body parts. Yeah beach combing. Yeah the feet thing

[01:39:17] Yeah I should say yeah, but yeah right next to the beach combing museum. There's that cannabis coast I saw so there is A legal and unly probably illegal precedents for for grow-ups around the forks Legality doesn't really matter too much after the um after the crash but also

[01:39:36] It's now like a uh desired commodity the same way, you know, like it's just Yeah, a way to make money and a way to survive and a thing you need to protect Yeah, a thing to cope with the the horror of The wasteland, okay hmm

[01:39:53] Last chance equine rest stop is that a horse Thing yeah sure Why not there are some farms It looks like there are actually a bunch of like farms um in the southeast of town

[01:40:10] Yeah, but like again, is that like there's not a lot of agribol and like um Like like uh, david's so the thought that also hit is um another thing that we don't have a lot of within forks um for reasons Is cars

[01:40:27] most of the cars that were here have broken down And there's just it's not like there's dealerships everywhere. So finding a working vehicle is even more um rare at this location Then it is in other red markets like if you find a truck that works it's

[01:40:53] Might as well be made of gold, you know What the only one truck is the log and truck Okay, so transportation is a very very big issue for us. I love that if it's not by river, yeah Yeah, if it's not by river coastline. Yeah, we yeah

[01:41:09] I like that And it's also an impetus for um having to go down into seattle It's job seeds We would also be remiss by not mentioning Some sort of slum ghetto first line of defense for the latents, right? Maybe because of of of road patterns or something

[01:41:28] They all come from the south of town when any of them wander in and we have a latent outpost in the timber museum Yeah, oh, yeah, I like that Forks timber museum. Also. I saw something that I'm not sure if it's exactly what it's saying

[01:41:41] But it's like the creation park I'm like is that better not be what I think it is Nope, it is It is Yeah Well, I already know one of the bad guys. We're gonna have to fight skin ham neighborhood wise so why you know

[01:42:02] But well, I mean do you want to just call it like the There's there's high school. There's uh latent ghetto in the timber museum Mm-hmm There's a community hospital, I guess. Yeah I could kind of see that being the two big competing Like let's be fair

[01:42:21] Or both of those places would be cleared out Quick or they would be death zones. So hospital and high school um But I could see how like the vast majority of people within town live in one of the two Because converted hospital rooms are

[01:42:41] Like there's an entire family dwelling in this What used to be a semi private room? Next to the timber mart there is so aside from the next to the timber museum There's forks airport and there's also the olympic natural

[01:42:55] Resource center. I'm trying to see isn't that like a tourist welcome center kind of it looks like it. Yeah, it looks like it's um like Uh, yeah looks like some kind of like yeah, like a touristy kind of center area

[01:43:05] So i'm just looking for like local interest stations In around forks I kind of like the latin's not being a completely second-class citizen and having like a voice and stuff like that So if if they're just pretty much on that area of town

[01:43:20] That would uh, that would be pretty cool. Like Yeah I know that you could have that airport you could have uh I mean who's gonna fuck with uh, if we're dealing with people who's going to shoot a latin

[01:43:35] And then deal with that, you know what I mean? So they're like they're You know esteemed members as well like you know, um That's so cool Uh, we'll see so I think we kind of like neighborhood wise

[01:43:50] We've got like the hospital latin's and just the school for the town And we can say that there's other areas in the town that like this whole area You know the town's probably been cleared or we're clearing it in the game and that could be

[01:44:04] You know where we're upgrading and whatnot for um, if we want anything additional uh that we need like Yeah, maybe one of the first jobs would be

[01:44:18] Uh the like maybe the ports are kind of lost or something like that, but i'm kind of getting ahead of myself there Uh, let's see what else uh vips. I see that we've kind of got those We got the first edward. That's a randian, uh boss

[01:44:34] We've got chuck which we he will say he's uh The sheriff The love rigger Love yeah, the sheriff city council of historical society Do we have a name for the city council? Sorry I didn't

[01:44:48] No, we don't I I kind of have I may have a name for it that I found when I was looking through the town. Um, The peninsula housing authority Oh my god, which is right next to the forks community house or hospital

[01:45:03] Yes, no, that's perfect. It just seems to follow the line with our idea of like Like with newcomers and stuff like that Yeah

[01:45:12] Oh my god, it's like oh, it's like the word. It's like uh, what's that thing that community has sometimes our neighborhoods have like the neighborhood, uh homeowner's Yeah, it's an enclave homeowners association basically The 100% oh god

[01:45:30] I think that olympic housing authority you said, uh, we could call it the olympic housing authority Actually, I should probably work better because it's I just missed what you said because I was typing something else down
