      Please let me know if you have any questions or confusion with this Instant Play Quest. I tried to make it as clear as possible but it can be hard to look at it from the perspective of someone who doesn’t know RPGs as the one that has designed it.

      I want to make this as easy as possible to play. So let me know your suggestions for making it better.

      Thanks!

      Read through and played the Instant Play Quest – Pretty fun little introduction. I can say I thoroughly enjoyed it.

      Fantastic! I know it’s not the biggest and best quest out there but hopefully it really helped introduce you to the system.

      Did you find anything confusing? Was it clear? How would you make it better so even people with no idea of an RPG could play through it?

      Thanks for playing!

      We had some long discussions on Focus Types and Discipline choosing for 2nd and 3rd Powers. That was probably where most of our conversation was around – The point being made, that if I choose a combatant, why do I have to choose again for additional powers?

      The idea is that a character has a primary thing they are good at (Archetype/Primary Discipline). But a character can also have a few other abilities of other Archetypes if they want. Or can gain further abilities for their their main character idea through Secondary/Tertiary Powers.

      Then the Focus determines how each of the three Disciplines are weighted. How many Power Points you have in each to get Powers.

      Balanced
      Equal Power Points in each of the three.

      Devoted
      Lots of Power Points in Primary.
      Some Power Points in Secondary.
      No Power Points for Tertiary.

      Focused
      Many Power Points in Primary.
      Some Power Points in Secondary.
      A few Power Points in Tertiary.

      Check out this page where I try to show how you can mix and match Archtype and Focus to create the kind of character you are looking for.

      I hope this helps clear it up some. Let me know what other questions you may have.
