Today I began to roll up a character for Mekton Zeta, an anime mecha role playing game.
They have a great background system called Lifepath, where you make some die rolls and it fleshes out your character’s background.
I was going to make a mecha pilot, male, professional level.
As I started going through the Lifepath system, I rolled 5 friends, the first being male, and… an ex-lover.
My first thought was to keep with the male character, for a same-sex relationship (Pride Weekend in SF may have influenced that thought), but I decided to go with a female, based on something else that I’d been watching lately.
She’s going to be based on Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop.
But still a mecha pilot.
And I’m going with the ‘Anime Babe’ rookie template instead of a professional.
Of course, who knows if my group will ever get around to playing Mekton Zeta.
Gloomhaven
Betrayal at House on the Hill
Second game, my character trapped in the basement until Glenn arrived in a magic elevator
Victory!
Gloomhaven, a dungeon crawl co-op game. This is the 4th time we’ve attempted the first scenario, and this time we succeeded!
Han Solo Card Game, an adaptation of the in-universe game Sabacc; it even comes with a pair of dice similar to the ones hanging in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon
Dice Throne, which came down to the Paladin (Glenn) vs. the Barbarian (Dave). The Pyromancer (Nelson) and Moon Elf (me) were both knocked out of the game earlier.
