Tale of the Outsider
• A tale in which the rogue is not the focus, but rather an instrument in the lives of others.
• Only one Rogue Player plays an actual rogue who has wandered into local squabble or untenable situation. The other Rogue Players play extraordinary locals who are working to change their situation. These extraordinary locals have no Feats Heroic or Tricks. Nothing of theirs is named at the beginning of the game. Extraordinary locals may be created as needed after the game begins. Rogue Players whose extraordinary locals have died may make new ones.
• The Rogue Player with the rogue must be the Rogue Player who does not reincorporate at the end.
Again, inspired by Mad Max: Fury Road but it's really a standard of the genre. See also Red Harvest, Yojimbo, Fist Full of Dollars and their ilk.
Man, Fury Road is a gift that keeps on giving, you are on fire Eppy!
ReplyDeleteThey can have named things, but they need a Discovery or Rogues' Phase to record them.
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteEpidiah Ravachol are you, or do you intend to, collect all of these somewhere besides this community? These variant tales, tones, etc? Seems like a wiki or even a simple GDoc might be useful.
ReplyDeleteThat's a grand idea! If it's a GDoc, we could drop it in the resources folder.
