As many of you know, we're slagging a bit in the RP department en Paris, so as the quasi-DM (oh god, please forgive me) I've come up with a little system to pick things up and in the words of the song 'give us somethin' to talk about' just in time for summer.
The system will work like chance cards in Life or Monopoly. A List of random events will be listed here, some good, some bad. Every week, three characters will be chosen to roll for one. This way there isn't a build-up. The first few weeks, until we finalize the system, will be voluntary. So if you have a character you'd like to make suffer or involve more, then contact me and we'll keep a record here.
As a warning, something such as vamping, were-ing, death, or death of a spouse will not occur. Nor shall pairings. Here's our starter list, more scenarios the better.
1. Your character receives a letter from a relative, telling them that they now have a newborn cousin/neice/nephew/sibling
2. A stray cat or dog takes an unexpected liking to your character, effects last for at east a week.
3. Your character catches the flu, effects last at least three IC days.
4. Some random person your character has never met, has challenged them to a duel to occur the next week.
5. Your character receives a letter from a relative asking for money.
6. Your character was walking near the opera and discovers an unidentifiable purse containing seventy francs!
7. Your character is accosted by an artist begging them to pose nude for a 'new painting'.
8. Your character is mugged and ten francs taken from them in the struggle.
9. One of your character's limbs is broken
10. Your character is in the tavern and discovers a bag containing a fair amount of opium (it's uber opium)!
11. Your character is offered a job at the caberet.
12. Your character gets the urge to throw a party
13. Your character gets smashed and suffers the worst hangover EVER.
14. Your character becomes paranoid and thinks that the government/vampires are after them.
15. Your character goes through a temporary phase where they 'think' they can play a musical instrument.
16. Your character is actually summoned to the church to confess.
17. A random bourgueoise solicits your character for sex- the payment? Sixty francs.
18. Your character becomes inspired and writes a poem.
19. Your character becomes inspired and invents a new alcoholic beverage.
20. Your character suffers from a week-long biological clock alarm.
21. For an entire day your character suffers from uncontrollable flatullance.
22. A distant relative dies and sends your character a tidy inheiritance.
23. There is a minor fire in your character's home.
24. There is a cat outside your character's house that keeps them up at night.
25. For some odd quirk, an entire week passes where people can't resist your character!
26. Your character gets their period (angstiness if you're male).
27. The government sends your character a letter stating that they are exempt from taxes this year!
