I’m pretty new to PbtA and have been dying to try it.

I’m pretty new to PbtA and have been dying to try it. This week, we’re on a break from our regular game, so I’m going to run a UW one shot. Yay!

I wanted to make a few example origin/career/career combos (and archetypes to go with them) using iconic Sci Fi characters (maybe some from Firefly, Farscape, and/or Star Wars characters) just to give my friends a point of comparison during char gen. However, my search-fu is pretty weak. Have people already done this somewhere? If not, what do people think would be some examples?

For instance, at a quick glance (not going for perfect accuracy since they’re just examples, not pregens for play), I’d say Jayne Cobb would be a Brutal Military Scoundrel w/ Mercenary archetype while Mal would be a Rustic Military Personality w/ a Space Cowboy archetype.

Any other suggestions?

  2. I’d call Mal a Rustic Military Mercantile, personally. He’s decent at cutting deals, but he’s not a leader in the traditional space opera inspirational sense.

    Book is your Clandestine Personality of some persuasion.

  6. I hear ya. There are days where I feel like postponing Carta and jumping on FBH, but I need to fulfill these stretch goals in order or it’ll never get done.

  7. I understand. As a Kickstarter backer in a number of projects (including AW2nd, but, sadly, I did not discover yours) I can appreciate that dedication. But, I look forward to these additions all the same … though I may have to hold off starting the game I want to run until I see what appears! 🙂
