Greetings folks!

Last week we asked you to pick some character options for our upcoming ENCORE Live-play One Shot, and you all wrote some excellent ideas!

Currently, our players are pondering their options, and we wanted to add another wrinkle (pun intended, har har) to the equation:

We want you to pick the Wrinkles these Old Timers will have. In ENCORE, Wrinkles are the old people problems that might affect certain skill rolls. They are meant to be fun and add to the narrative shenanigans (they are not meant to be super medically accurate and, therefore, depressing); the key design element is to have fun mechanics that enhance role-playing opportunities and storytelling at the table.

Here is a list of some of the Wrinkles that can affect Old Timers, as well as the skills that they impact:

Agita --> Cold Blood · Focus · Hocus Pocus
Bad Back --> Liftin' · Tough as Nails · Agility
Bad Breath --> Sweet Talk · Spinnin' a Yarn · Sneak
Bad Eyes --> Search · Steady · Notice · Take the Wheel
Flatulent --> Sneak · Cold Blood · Silver Fox
Fuzzy Memory --> Recollect · Savvy · Focus · Suspicion
Hearing Loss --> Notice · Suspicion · Good Ol' Common Sense
Rusty Parts (your super-soldier cybernetic parts are old and faulty) --> Tough as Nails · Wallop · Hustle
Shaky Hands --> Steady · Hocus Pocus · Flimflam
Sleepy --> Focus · Reckon · Notice

Write in the comments which ones you want to see our Old Timers be afflicted by in the One Shot game, and we’ll pick from your short list! For rules on how Wrinkles and Wrinkle Skills work in ENCORE, please check out the Quickstart PDF. All you need to do is Follow the ENCORE Backerkit page, and you’ll receive an email directing you to the Quickstart.

We are less than a week away from the ENCORE launch, and we cannot be more excited! Shortly after the launch, we'll follow up with the Live Play One Shot!
