Category: Nahual RPG: Discussion

So, here is a sneak peek of the advancement Tonal Tracks (and the stages you can advance to). My idea is that by playing your character you’ll clear Tonal (gain XP), so you can get like 1 or 2 per session. Are the tracks too long?

I’m considering also that when you fail you also clear Tonal, like failing teaches you to be humble and you learn from your mistakes. But my concern is that players then just relly on failing.

What do you think?

So as part of the streamlining process for the next iteration of the game, I’m merging together the XP advancement and the Tonal advancement, to have only one advancement system. (Those who playtested the game know what I mean—or maybe not, that’s fine XD)

So, moving forward on the design and planning the other playbooks, I want to bring to the table for discussion the Murcielago playbook (The Bat).

My thoughts for the playbook is for they to be a bad-ass blind character (like Tough from Avatar, Zatoichi, Hundred Eyes).

I came to this ’cause the popular thinking is that bats are blind (I know they really aren’t) and the bat is an animal tied to the underworld in the pre-Columbian cultures, I was thinking for the playbook to be a blind character that can “see” the spiritual world. Also that being blind is a requisite for having the Murcielago as a totem animal spirit.

I also think that it would be interesting for us (players and MCs) that can see to have a character that relies on other senses, I believe the conversations and descriptions at the table could be enriched… we take sight soooo much for granted!

Now… I don’t want to be misinterpreted, and of course I don’t want to misrepresent blind people (I’m a handicaped person myself, so this is pretty important to me), that’s why I want to bring this to the table for discussion.

So, what do you all think?
