  Finally got started on laying out the game! The theme is going to be High School Yearbook so I hope I can capture that feeling. It's also probably what my skill level with layout is. I've laid out the... Continue reading

  #we used to be friends, #Final Version, #yearbook profiles, #the crew leader

  Because my major influence with this game is Veronica Mars, when it came time to the Gang Leader it didn't make the Ashcan cut because it was the biggest problem out of all of them. The reason is was... Continue reading

  #we used to be friends, #yearbook profiles, #ingenue, #final version

  Next to the Libertine, this is my favourite profile to play for similar but different reasons. It's fun to play the one in distress, and the Ingenue is certainly the one for it. That said, it needed a... Continue reading
• Update 10 - Yearbook Profile - The Plotter
  October 12, 2020 by Firestorm Ink

  Onto the Socialite! Let's make sure that this does what I want it to do, it's supposed to be one of the wealthy people doing what they do best. Avoiding accountability, making friends, and getting oth... Continue reading
• Update 6 - Yearbook Profile - Delinquent
  September 05, 2020 by Firestorm Ink

  Onto the Delinquent. The goal for this playbook has always been one of some kind of self destruction. I like it because it's kind of an intense Profile, and it never stops causing drama. Changes Chan... Continue reading
