The Short Flaw came out to be a fun one once.
We were starting up a Werewolf Game based in NY and the GM had all of us make up our characters separate from each other. I created a Bone Gnawer with the Short Flaw. When I showed the GM he just snickered and approved it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif) When we got to the game the three of us playing BGs had picked that flaw. The game did get a little silly though. We had one Glass Walker that called himself Scott that had taken the level-5 Wealth Merit, but was a complete mental case; we [the BGs] abused the crap out him. Out got out of him we one of our episode one liners when he looked over at his butler and ask “Scotland, Do I own that?” The game got really silly when all the BGs joined the NYPD as K9 Units. I personally don’t mind flaws that get redundant, I just want to have them make some sense. It when the same Positive Qualities keep showing up with the same Negative Qualities keep showing up on the Players Characters. The Positive Quality that our Regular GM and I started to hate was Magic Resistance-4. On a Troll [Called Tiny] with a Body of 9 and Will 5, put him in a Armored Jacket and wait until he needed to make a Will to Spend that Karma [a 5] for the Soak/Resistance Roll. He was such a broken character that the rest of us just stopped inviting to the games because we needed Military Grade Armor just to survive the fall out what the GM had to throw to challenge him. Eventually he figured out what the problem was and made [more reasonable?] character that was Jack of Trades with as many Gear Related PQs he could find, but that was another problem. |

This sentence doesn't make any sense to me. I think I understood what you meant, but the sentence itself isn't clear. We were talking about some Celtic Spirit or somthing. -Eliot [Me]: I think it came from somewere in Scotland? -Scott to his Butler: Scotland? Cheves it must be named after me, Do I own that? After that at least once per session "Do I own that?" would come up. |

My last group came up with an idea -- and we all agreed with it -- that all four of us were going to take Amnesia, the concept being that we were not really true runners, but members of a sort of corporate hit-squad whose memories were wiped after every mission. We also took it to an extreme that, since we know nothing about ourselves, that the GM would make up our character sheets and background and reveal certain stats, gear, and contacts to us as the game progressed.
We got a good laugh at Ed's (our GM) expense when we presented this idea (I've never seen anyone's eyes stay that wide for so long before or since), but while intrigued by the idea, he killed it. We were only doing a couple of one-offs and not a campaign and he didn't feel like writing up four full characters (and I don't blame him for that, either). |

One of these days I want to take the Judas quality, just for kicks. |
