My guinea pig

So my niece came to visit us yesterday, and what could I do but to offer her to join up in a game of newsies? :)

She’s 9 going to 10 and I wanted to see how she went through the process of creating a player character. She chose to be a newsgirl but interesting enough created a character quite unlike her. Instead of the “intellectual” student she is, she chose a range of skills that would make her character excell at athletics and, like she said “running away from trouble”.

I found she had some trouble understanding some of the Attribute names, so I could be changing them. Strength and Education was easy, but she had trouble with Perception. So, I’m not yet, sure, but perhaps Eyes & Ears.

Now, I know that Eyes and Ears is not the same than perception, but it’s close enough, traightfoward and easy to remember. Constitution, for the same reasons, could be changed to Health.

I thanked her for her help and she replied: “So I was a test subject?” :)
