Tendencies: Spirits & Glamour Custom Playbook: The Monster v.2 Released!


Hi folks!

Still getting this game dev stuff off the ground! As the rules in the corebook of Tendencies: Spirits & Glamour was updated recently, I figured it was time to do some revisions on the Monster custom playbook to align with the new rules, as well as general balancing and fixing up text.

  • Throwing Away My Humanity no longer grants a +3 Infinite Stat, although you still retain two effective attack ranges and two tags. The number of weaknesses is now optionally either one or two.
  • Release Restraint Level 3, 2, 1 no longer gives a penalty to LGC rolls. You can no longer choose to add +1 Injury to your attacks. Making one of your stats +3 Infinite applies for the purposes of only one Basic or Confrontation move you choose for the rest of the Confrontation. You can now gain a temporary tag or additional application of your abilities as an option.
  • My Power Grows has been significantly reworked. You no longer get rid of your weaknesses, so as to provide them with more narrative weight. Instead, taking this move allows you to choose an option from the Battle Tendency list when you roll a +12 on a Flurry of Blows or Take Aim.
  • You're Watching Me, Aren't You? now requires your chosen target to have a mutual String with you in order to gain the benefit of knowing where you are through this move.
  • Release Restraint Level 0 has been reworked. It no longer offers more Armour or increased Injuries.
  • Dark Rebirth now allows you to roll with either LGC or GLM instead of SPR for the purposes of Tendency-based moves.
  • My Gift To You now imposes a permanent -1 penalty to one of your stats and they can now roll LGC or GLM for Tendency-based moves if they have one.

And that should be all of the updates to this custom playbook! More are in the work and are going through revisions and rewrites to be more friendly with the newer version of the game and to be less mechanically dull. Potential things to look forward to are the Unleashed, that gets stronger the more hurt it takes,  and the Martyr, a playbook about being too good for this world and being a victim of fate.
