I am still trying to put a game together. I have 4 players (I think
that is plenty for a first time GM in a new system) that have are all
clean slates. I must say I am a bit overwhelemed as to how best teach
them the game. The rules I can do, I can explain how to roll dice. The
mood, setting, and feel of the game are much harder.. I might as well
just give them all the core book and have them read the first 30 some pages.
Anyway I have 2 players who want to play deckers, however since I
really was only counting on 1 I have been talking to one of them about
a shaman. He is an inteligent gamer and fits well with the shaman ways
of doing things. However he does not like the idea of any of the
standard totems in the core book so he has asked to make one up. Not a
problem this shouldnt be hard right? I know he is interested in
Cocopelli and I think that may be a really interesting totem. Now he is
talking about the Toltec god Quetzalcoatl. I have found reports of
Quetzalcoatl being god of everything from war and death to peace and
intelligence. I am not even sure that a god is a legitimate source for
a totem. Is it? If so, how would you all best go about this?
Confused anf loving it,
