Last night, part of the gaming crew met in virtual for a character creation session for our new
Weird Adventures game using the
WaRP system. Tim and Chris recreated their previous
Lorefinder characters using the new rules set. As I expected, the only step even the slightest bit difficult was just getting into the mindset of the system--the actually creation part was very easy. Here's Chris's
Don Diabolico--Gentleman Thief:
Traits:
Gentleman Thief (dapper clothes, shifty eyes) - 4
Good shot with a Pistol (steady grip) - 3
Skilled Driver (calm behind the wheel) - 3
Flaw:
Greedy (covetous gaze)
Motivation:
Get rich or die trying
Secret:
In debt to the Hell Syndicate
Equipment: Natty attire, swordcane, concealable pistol, gloves.

This looks fairly straightforward--and like a lot of fun. The more we fiddle-around with WaRP, the more it really seems to lend itself to a setting, once we got over the initial shock of the radical simplicity of no stats/usual attributes. It will be great to hear about your experience exploring The City with WaRP as we prepare to take a group into a WaRPed version of Wermspittle...
I believe... nay, know... that Wanton will trigger a Renaissance of brilliant character depictions on blogs for all genres of gaming.
Disavowing brilliance, here's one now!
"Forget logic. Recognise desperation."
Concept: John Koenig is the Commander of Moonbase Alpha. As a young man he graduated with honours from M.I.T. He soon became an astronaut and led a number of important missions before being assigned his current command. Now that the moon has been cast into the terrifying isolation of alien space, he struggles to balance a his introspective character with the demands of maintaining morale under doom-laden circumstances.
