Got a chance to play Prime Time Adventures last night. Here are some quickie sketches while at the table.
The genre/setting is a post apocalyptic world where the characters are trying to revive civilization... starting with the reclamation of Manhattan and most specifically the New York Public Library.
Mutants and overgrown, unknown jungles are outside of the 14 mile rock known as Manhattan.
The show is named "Lions at the Gate", in reference to Patience and Fortitude, the two marble lions that bracket the magnificient steps of the library.
All of our characters have greek naming conventions, which sorta evolved, but is kinda cool to me.
First up is Prometheus and Medea. JF's Prometheus is the tinkerer engineer who is more loyal to his brother who stole the secret of gunpowder from our Tribe and is distributing it to cannibals, mutants and despots outside of Tribe territory.
Jd's Medea was brought up as a cannibal, but learned to read...and that saved her life when she was captured by The Tribe. She is now the teacher to The Tribe's children and the most avid researcher at the Library.

Then there is B's Rion Greenwhich, a 'slinger, as in gunslinger, the rangers of The Tribe and caretakers of the secret of Black Powder. Rion is dubious about the Library's uses (the drain of The Tribe's food, manpower and resources is high). But is tied to my character as my father was his partner...and upon my pop's death, oaths to protect me were made. Not to mention, he just got roped into being the Council of Elders voice at the Library project.

Then there is Ulysses Station, my character. He might be a descendent of "The Founder", a woman with piercing green eyes and who managed to keep the spark of learning alive, while protecting or even creating The Tribe back in the black days of yore. Ulysses has evolving psychic abilities, further connecting him to The Founder's legacy... but a legacy he is unsure that he wants to step into. Can he make a life of his own choosing?
