Thanks!
All good ideas! The character concepts my friend made also lend themselves well to slice of life style stories, which should help also.
That Swords without master inspired framework seems super cool and good, actually!
Yeah!!! Someone mentioned it to me and I was like... whoa. SWM is genius! The character generation (where you pick an item, image, or thing and build from it) is great, too, and could easily be used with Calypso. Oh, you might also make a prefab list of situations/events (look in the back of Six, there's a big table, like "someone taking a bath" or "a birthday party") that you have vague ideas of how you'd run and roll on that to seed your scenes. Kind of a push pull deal -- the prefab list seeds the scene & the motif list drives it.
