Weekend plans?
Share them! I'm running Werewolf the Apocalypse today wrapping up a Rage Across New York story, but tomorrow is a day off.

Reading through Masks of Nyarlathotep. I’ve been in 3 games that fizzled out and just decided to read it instead. Maybe I’ll run it when I’m done.

Introductions!
Hi there everyone! I've played role-playing games since the mid-1980s. Since I grew up in Sweden, I started with Dragonbane, not DnD, so that's a bit unique compared to most North Americans, I guess. I love myself a good story, the thrill of the dice delivering that completely unexpected outcome, and the golden moments we get from amazing role-playing and gut-wrenching drama at the table! I took the Bartle-test and I'm a SEAK! What are you? Take the Bartle Test

@Mikael Hellstrom same. I’ve got a number of their titles. I haven’t played them as much as I would like, but I will at some point. The One Ring, Forbidden lands, Vaesen, and Symbaroum are on my shelf, but not yet explored.

@Jason Lee sorry for the late response. I have the first version. It was okay. It has a lot of great art. I think the info is a bit light. I’m not a fan of the boxes with text. It leaves a lot of empty space. I’m not sure of the second edition changes this. I’ve heard it’s just minor tweaks.

Getting the band together!
Role-playing is a collaborative activity! How do you get players to create characters that function well together as a group. I've played with a lot of groups where everyone has a very strong idea of what they want to play, even if that doesn't mesh well with the other player characters, some players just get that target fixated. I do tell my players that they should keep an open mind and revise their concept if it doesn't work well with the rest of the group, of course!

In my current WFRP game, we spent the majority of session 0 creating characters. After the stats were filled out, I asked the players to explain how they know each other. WFRP has a class system and one player was upper-middle class (Silver 2). The other two were lower class (Brass 1 & 2). I pushed for them to explain how they connect given the differences. I also pushed for each of them to explain what their PCs motivation was. All of this helped to develop the adventure that developed. I had not done this before, but will definitely incorporate it in the future. I felt like the adventure was richer because of it. I’ll have to ask my players what they thought.

The challenge of onboarding a player to an established group seemlessly
I'm sure at least some of you have been there. You have an established group, it has jelled, the session is tomorrow, you are short on time to bring the new player up to speed. If you're anything like autistic me, you WANT the story to feel organic, so motivations and plots line up smoothely, but this is also about having FUN together, so saying no to a player to join immediately might lose the player. How do you handle that onboarding?

@Mikael Hellstrom have the group come across them in the next hex. The new PC is just resting after dealing with a problem monster/NPC the group had come across previously, but hadn’t fully dealt with (ex. Resting after killing a group of goblins that were dogging the group in a previous session, or the new PC just recently escaped a group of Rust Brothers - “killed one at least”). They now share a common enemy.

@Mikael Hellstrom I haven’t played Vampire, so I’m not sure. Maybe a newly turned?

Played a bit of D&D back in the 80s. Got back into it in 2019. Have been expanding into all kinds of RPGs in the past couple of years.
