Street Smarts and how we got there.

I posted the first draft of the Street Smarts Anchor and the aces that it opens up to players that take it. This link will take you near the download.

This type of skill set came about from a combination of projects. We wanted to add cards to the Way Of series cards but when we did them most of those were actually craft types of cards and the expansion for them was difficult. We were also working on a new set of knowledge cards. We got several very thought provoking suggestions on the knowledge cards that made us realize that there was a better way to do this.

Street Smarts is something that can be learned through growing up on the streets and something that can be learned later in life. It is, essentially, a specialized knowledge. Some of the new Advanced backgrounds will give characters access to the aces and a character can add the Anchor later in life as well.

These cards, like all DS cards, rely on players to find creative ways to apply them to the world the GM is running. GM's will have the job of deciding what modifiers to apply in each situation, based on what is happening in the world and how entertaining the player makes the situation.

If you have questions, ask them here, or email them to me. I find that most answers depend on what your GM has going on in the background, so I can't answer those, but some questions may need to be covered in the final PDF, so ask now, if you want us to cover your question.

For now, Good Night and Good Gaming!
