Choosing characters

Hello,

I'm excited to start playing the Quest Calendar, but I'm waiting until January 1st like a good boy. However, I've read the rules and skimmed through the month of January (being careful not to read anything too closely). It looks great!

I do have one question, to ensure I'm understanding. It looks like the first couple of days, we're playing as Godwin. Then there are several days in which the characters basically introduce themselves to us, but we're not actually playing. Around mid-January, it seems we actually start playing, which is fine. But I didn't see any point in which we're specifically told to pick a character. Did I miss that? Once the game actually begins, we're just controlling one character of our choice, not all of the ones who've introduced themselves, right? We don't make rolls for every character?

Thanks!

Good question. Sorry if it was unclear. 


Yes, you will pick 1 of the six characters when they are introduced. And only play with that character. The game is balanced around playing solo with 1 character.

I was looking at the PNP Character sheets and there are way more than what are in the calendar. Are we restricted to the 6 in the calendar or can we use any of the PNP characters as well?

Developer

You can use any except for Godwin the Great. He is a single use level 6 character played only in the Prologue.

Figured, but thanks for confirming. Looking forward to starting my quest on the 1st!

Are there blank character sheets as well and rules how to create our own characters?

Developer

No there are not. 

It is an idea we are exploring for future Quest Calendars, but we do not have rules for creating your own characters.

There are others that were created from the Kickstarter. You can find those at
