Re: [DL] New Arcane Background (Very Long)



So, how do you see this functioning? A new system of it's own? with hexes (ala "Arcane Background: Shootist")? or something similar to that, but with Elightenment? would Western Kenjetsu powers be enlightened powers, but specialized for these swordsmen, kind of like how Shootist and Metal Mage hexes are the same deal, but specialized?
 
(at least I think that's that's how Shootists work. I haven't actually read Lone Stars, but from what people have been saying, that's what it sound like to me.)

At the moment I'm working on a bunch of arcane backgrounds but I've done a fair bit on one of them. I thought I'd post the basic idea and mechanics to the tender mercies of this listserv ;)
 
The Western Kenjetsu Initiate
Background
Ever since the beginning of 1878 rumours and tales of strange men and women carrying even stranger swords wandering the west. These tales, from all parts west of the bloody ol' muddy are very similar. The people in question are always similar in one area, though they might be whites, asians or even injuns. The swords they carry. They always carry two, one longer than the other. The swords are strangely curved and the people carrying them call them their "daisho".

Thanks all for you time,
