Apologies, I’m not super phone savvy so I might not have done this correctly. Maybe copy-pasting would have been better.
Anyway, I asked this elsewhere, and while I have gotten some sympathy and the good suggestion to ask before assuming, I thought perhaps people here have already done this/have ideas/can point me in the right direction.

Is there a reason the Hunter’s shotgun does less damage than all the other shotguns on gear lists, and they don’t get a haft/handle weapon as powerful as the basic sword on other lists (both 3-harm)?
I understand that, with their customization, they can get more damage to make them equal – are hunter weapons supposed to be on par with other weapons, so if they have one of the chosen advantages, they are weaker harm-wise than their counterparts for balance? Or are they supposed to be beefier and better?
Would it be unbalanced to make them match other weapons and then take the harm increases of the table as options?
A question about the Vamp’s Web.
A question about the Vamp’s Web.
So Rafael (PC Vamp) is at a movers and shakers function. Amidst the other goings on, Lou (one of his vampire political opponents) has found Mr. Casing (a mortal with whom the PC wishes to do business) and swept him into Lou’s little group of sycophants, talking and smiling and shooting out subtle taunts and threats that the mortal misses because they are meant to flaunt the interception to the Rafael. Finally, Rafael gets pissed enough to go confront Lou and threaten him a bit more blatantly to back off.
Since Lou is threatening the Rafael’s interests, my player asked if Lou is in Raf’s Web. My first thought is no, because Raf went to him instead of vice versa, and I feel thematically the RAW “when someone comes to you to…” is important to the idea of luring someone into a web. Now, is it physical location (like Raf’s stomping grounds) or more metaphorical, (the player needs to fictionally position a little more and make Lou come back at him)? Or is the threat itself enough to enter the web?
I feel like it can’t be just the threat, because that would mean anything threatening a vamp would automatically invoke the web, and even if someone paid off the Debt, they would be back in immediately if they still had conflict of interests. I feel like coming at the player is the part that is important. Am I looking at this the wrong way?
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?
