After our little meeting, we've assembled our cast:
Alex as the Human Mundane Cook
Ame as the Neko Flake Scientist
Soban as the Separa'Shan Initiate Infantry
There's a few house rules I settled on that I told Alex about, too:
Weird is just Tech (which fits our Flake well, since they usually have +2 Weird and can get it to +3 easily)
Neko start with a bonus "Neko" move that is just their wiki entry, basically
Minkan would start with a bonus "Minkan" move that is the same, but since they're generally 'weaker' they also get to take one bonus move from any playbook, counted as a level up/advancement bonus, to represent their experience
Humans get a free bonus move from any playbook and need one less experience check to level up/advance
I wasn't expecting a snake and don't know much about their race, so if you have a suggestion for a starting bonus for them? I was thinking they just get their "Separa'Shan" move with the drawback of needing custom equipment. Should they maybe have a bonus to one stat, compared to the other races?
Over the next two weeks we should get the characters officially created and approved, then I'll start a wiki page for the plot/podcast. Next Saturday at 7 PM Central we'll record until around 10 PM Central, I think. Then we'll see how long it takes me to edit everything, heh.
