CCC day 8- Honest but obstructive female military support officer (Central Casting 2e/D&D)

I had actually been using Central Casting on the side and yesterday I’ve gotten a pretty interesting character as follows:  Family: 2 parents, 4 brothers plus 2 illegitimate brothers Born in a cave, with a curse of frequently fumbling  Significant events of childhood Significant events of adolescence Significant event of adulthood Most valued person: aContinue reading “CCC day 8- Honest but obstructive female military support officer (Central Casting 2e/D&D)”

CCC days 4 and 5- the 4 Holy Beast Guardians (1) [Fate Core]

I’ve randomly come up with the following premise for a Chinese story but don’t intend to write it so I’m using it for the character challenge instead: The Kingdom was guarded by the Armies of the 4 Holy Beasts led by the 4 Guardians until an ambitious Emperor eliminated or forced away the 4 Guardians.Continue reading “CCC days 4 and 5- the 4 Holy Beast Guardians (1) [Fate Core]”

CCC day 3- Strong willed Jack (Numenara)

I got a little bored with Fate so I moved onto making a character for Numenara. I pretty much followed the guide except that I skipped out on starting equipment: Strong-willed Jack Might: 11 Speed: 12 Intellect: 13 (Edge: 1) Effort: 1 2 Cyphers Skills:  Inability:  Tricks of the Trade: Background: Initial Link to theContinue reading “CCC day 3- Strong willed Jack (Numenara)”

CCC days 1 and 2: Lan and Chi, twin sisters (Fate Core)

For starters, I am using the FATE Core system for character generation which is a very quick process compared to alternative systems. I am not doing it all the way, just 4 aspects for each twin sister and their starting skill pyramid. But that is really just skipping 1 aspect and the stunts section (whichContinue reading “CCC days 1 and 2: Lan and Chi, twin sisters (Fate Core)”

I don’t know if other people feel…. 

The opening line is from Access Road by Alison Luterman.  I don’t know if other people feel this way, feel the way I do. Yeah, that’s what a lot of people expressed, at some time. I don’t particularly feel anything right now. Sure, there is the ebb and flow of emotions. But it’s all underneathContinue reading “I don’t know if other people feel…. “

You can’t have it all but there is this…

The opening line is from You Can’t Have it All by Barbara Ras. It wasn’t a prompt that I took well but I did manage to move into it after the first two paragraphs. I wrote this about one year or two years back. I had been moving away from Wild Writing because to beContinue reading “You can’t have it all but there is this…”

I see the way…

The jump off lines is from Collecting Light by Deb Cooper and this is from a day when I’m not feeling the prompt:   I see the way my fingers dip into the trough of hand cream and withdraw while leaving the shape intact. I see the way, or rather feel the way, this pen I’mContinue reading “I see the way…”

Let’s take an inventory of obsessions:

Not sure where the jumping off line (let’s take an inventory of obsessions) is from but it says all about this piece.  Let’s take an inventory of obsessions: Chinese lore, I know that’s too broad but hard to refine this. I mean, I’m interested in an assortment of stuff that I group in under it:Continue reading “Let’s take an inventory of obsessions:”
