Well we did it.

Well we did it. Wednesday we sat down for four hours and created characters and put together the skeleton for the world.

Now I have about 8 weeks to dress that Skeleton in some meat and put some clothes on it. Here’s the PowerPoint I put together and projected onto my friends television as we worked through everything. Everyone seemed to like it as they had a reference going through everything. Here’s a link to the PDF with notes on what happened.

(I exported it to PDF since that’s viewable by most anyone, but I will happily share the PPT if anyone wants a copy).

We do our first session of the Watch tonight to formalize our characters and the world

. . . I AM SO EXCITED!

Hey, folks.

Hey, folks. The listing for the PDF is live on DriveThru RPG. I’m caring for a sick child this morning, but I’ll be emailing out download links to backers this morning, so backers have more permanent access.

Also of note to some, the Companion Deck is up on Drive Thru Cards. Thanks to Jerry Ozbun for bringing to our attention the not-great shipping rates from IPR.

Just found this community and wanted to ask if anyone knew if there would be print copies of the game and companion deck for sale (and when they would be available)? Thanks in advance for any information.

They’re here!

If you get the deck for The Watch, you can play as my beloved girlfriend, pregnant with our daughter.

One of the players in my Watch campaign, Lu Quade, drew this cool fan art from tonight’s session.

One of the players in my Watch campaign, Lu Quade, drew this cool fan art from tonight’s session. Here’s the explanation…

“I doodled this sword – the sword I took from my friend Papho, after I accidentally struck them down in the confusion of a fight with The Shadow. The sword was lovingly engraved by Papho with symbolic representations of those they were close to in The Watch – including myself… I was unworthy to carry it, and it shattered the first time I tried to use it. I returned to their grave and buried it with Papho: reclaiming my own sword. A cursed blade – bound to see me die in battle – hopefully heroically…”

Loving reading the section Resist the Shadow right now.

Loving reading the section Resist the Shadow right now. Prior to the final version of the game being released, I kept envisioning that this move and Toxic Behavior was something that I’d end up having as a discussion at the table, and defined by the table by the players (more so than defined by me, or wholly by the game). I think this cleared up a lot of my unknowns around that concept.

Anyone else have thoughts on this section? Things that have come up that are interesting around it? Gotchas?

Still working on various game aides but I am getting to the point where I’m eager to hold my first session and define things like the Shadow and start prepping my world.

Is there any ETA for non-backer release?

I would like to give you my money. 😀

Questions on Suffer Great Harm:

1. As you defer the roll until mission are completed, presumably this means that you can’t go out in a blaze of glory during a mission in which a PC suffers Critical harm. Is that right?

2. What is meant by “On a hit, suffer harm as the MC feels is appropriate”? Is that meant for when a circumstance occurs that should kill a character, as Critical harm is a defined level of harm.
