What's your most memorable experience of an NPC becoming a PC?

When I started out articles like this or videos expressing similar sentiments were helpful to give me confidence to just get off my butt and try out GMing. I tried it out with Ironsworn: Starforged and that game's rules and tables helped the game flow without me needing to prep much. I told the players beforehand I wasn't very experienced as a GM, but they didn't mind and we all enjoyed it a lot. That gave me a huge confidence boost that my GMing was working and that I could do it. And our group is still going strong today!

Has one of your characters ever possessed a james bond-style gadget? Such as microphones, amphibious car, weaponized pen, hidden tracking device, or else? Did it work well?

Once again nice to see I'm not the only one! We're really enjoying our campaign of this.

TBH, character goals can often hinder a campaign, especially if they meet that goal early on. If a PC wants to go off doing their thing but it's a long way from the campaign and the rest of the group don't want to go it's unnecessary friction.

I don't think this is the final form. The Cultural Blessing might need to be altered a bit for 2e. Lifepaths should be okay; the Distinctive Features could possibly be tweaked a bit. The Virtues almost certainly need some alterations. Merchant Prince is probably good as written here. Cram was a logical addition to round them out. I'm open to suggestions for edits.

Seconded! The amount of work that goes into planning and executing this event multiple times a year is nuts, and I'm super thankful we've got such an awesome member of our local community willing to take that on for all our sakes. I love just walking around and seeing everyone twice a year (though...the games are nice too 😀).
