Ascension: Personal philosophies, faction allegiance and influence sheet

I absolutely love this Chrysalis! I'm a bit hazy how it works, but that's due to mostly coming off of work (night shift, awake 38 hrs).

If and when you look through the instructions and have questions, just reply to this thread.

I had players also saying the same thing, so I need some feedback on how it is confusing.

Forgot to check back actually. Busy week!

But yes, I figured the Philosophies chart out pretty easily. I'm wondering though - how one would use the chart effectively. Its nice to build npcs with, but is it meant for players? I'm having a hard time seeing this as anything else but a GM tool ( a very cool one though!)

The second one, the Influence chart, is awesomesauce. The part that initially confused me was this statement

You have 40 points to spend, which makes you recently minted Inquisitor.

I missed the '5's that indicated the blue boxes were variables of five. That bit should probably be clarified in text! Once I figured that out, the rest of the chart itself was super easy for me to use. I'm definitely going to give a whirl in my own games.

Question: May I spice up your documents visually when your done with them, like I normally do with my projectS?

The personal philosophy and factions tool are definitely GM tools, but they are also play aids in your Inquisitorial persona. Your persona and faction allegiance are more important to what makes you a throne agent than possessing a rosette.

Mr Van Guygens is this nice grandfatherly kind of person who can listen to you for hours offering tea and sympathy.

Inquisitor van Guygens on the other hand would give you such a look that when the bridge has just been vented from oxygen the reactors are going critical, your last breath would be the order "ramming speed".

For influence, I'll add in the actual table from Ascension to the pdf tomorrow.I have them in word format. Once tweaked a bit should be good to go.

I'll send you a message when done. The other bits most likely need cleaning up.

All in all Chrysalis, I'm digging this. ^^. Really good job. I'm totally into visual aids like this.

This is really neat. I haven;t had a chance to look through it much detail, but I sent it to my players to review.
