So I had an idea for a campaign involving the player characters having to oppose a Krewe of Bonepickers who had successfully taken control of the magical underworld of the city they're in. They have leverage over most every Krewe, they've got unscrupulous Krewes, necromancers and maybe even a Reaper or two on the payroll, and basically ghosts and the powers of death are just a commodity for them to exploit. I was mulling over how to put them together and I had a great idea; I'd backed Deviant: The Renegades on Kickstarter and decided to use the rules for building conspiracies to create the Krewe. Here's what I have so far:
Name: The Bonepickers (pending rename)
Virtue: Cunning Vice: Avarice
Concept: Backroom puppeteers manipulating their city for money and power
Standing: 2
Principles: Everything has a Price, In Shadows Lie Power, Never Break What You Can Use.
Nodes:
Attributes
Power: 2
Finesse: 5
Resistance: 3
Feel free to toss me your thoughts and comments, as well as suggestions, on how to improve this all, it's my first time using these rules for anything so I'm sure there's a lot of ways I could be using them better.
