Party Questions
The Party
Why has the party come together? Use the answers from the Get To Know Your Character section to inform your decision. As a table create your own or use the table below (d6):
1 | The investigators meet in a diner. They may or may not know each other. Fluorescent lights hum over checkered linoleum. |
2 | A simple “wrong place, wrong time.” The resulting event binds the investigators together. |
3 | United through self guided research. Online paranatural forum? Club? Support group? |
4 | A mysterious patron that has brought the investigators together. |
5 | Members of the community respond to a series of mysterious events. |
6 | Investigators (either professional or amateur) that are looking into an event. |
Character Bonds (optional)
Have each player state a relationship to another character at the table. This should be informed by the background, The Abyss Stares Back, and The Party section of character creation. Some examples are:
1 | _____ is hiding something from me. |
2 | _____ is my ex. |
3 | _____ saved me from whatever it was that tried to attack me. |
4 | _____ is my drinking buddy |
5 | ___ is my co-worker at ___ |
6 | _____ is my neighbor. |
Vehicles
Determine as a group what types of vehicle or transportation the party has access to. The party may have access to more than one vehicle. Car chases are an essential part of solving a mystery. Vehicles have HP. When it is reduced to 0HP it is totaled. Totaling a vehicle can cause damage to those in and around the vehicle.
