Street Smarts Anchor and the associated cards.

To start this off I want to let you know that the weekly Familiar Place Web comic has been posted. You can go look at it here.

Street Smarts. Many anchors in Classic DS lead to a series of cards that can be played. That is how we did Magic, Valarians and many others. Street Smarts takes this approach into the skills area. It means that their will be fewer Universal cards, but that is no big deal, there will still be plenty.

These cards not only create a series of logical cards, they also create a way of adding a knowledge base to your characters that fit their personalities. Not all characters will be studying the street life.

Obviously these skills are aimed at use in town. If you are looking for the wilderness versions, wait for the Scout.

Another street skill of value.

Valarians will naturally be hesitant to use this skill, but sometimes it may be a necessary skill.

GM's will want to take a look at these skills. Using them on Cast members will let you fill out the world nicely. Personally I am just using the base anchor as a feature on my street cast. I am a little lazy. It also means I can gobble up the extra anchors from multiple sets to use as GM cards.

Tuesday will see the other five cards in the set.
