Event History

In the weeks before release, Anubis approached me and asked if we needed help with the Character Sheets. I was reluctant to add someone totally new, but I figured... why not? We had a whole slew of Aspects, and they needed some work, and Anubis was willing. That was his first task, but it was not his last.

Upon completion of that task, primarily by giving Aspects witty or appealing names along with Wally, Anubis moved towards helping to wikify documents, getting our various documents ready and published. Furthermore, has worked on Feats and Skills, and continues to Wikify various documents we have. His work has been instrumental in preparing the system for a wider audience, and thus, I am happy to award Anubis a Grand Cross!

Halc has always been an advisor to the character sheet project, from the very beginning. He was one of the first people Shadow sought out, and he has given us useful feedback every step of the way. His insight is seen today in the Force Power descriptions, where he has been enormously helpful, but he has also was instrumental in the initial proposal and point layouts, and for that, he more than deserves this Steel Cross!

Gryffon has been instrumental in the new character sheet system! He helped write the initial Inquisitor, and many of his ideas remain even today. Beyond that, he also helped frequently with system feedback and focused testing. Specific examples are difficult, not because his effort was not there, but because his feedback came in many areas of balance, such as approach to disciplines, feats, and early on, in Skills. His efforts more than deserve a Steel Cross!

Chaos did literally over a hundred Aspects... And the majority of the default Aspects in the system are of his origin. He didn't win the competition I ran for this, but I have to recognize what he's done, because he spent hours and hours contributing to the system, so congratulations, Chaos, on your Steel Cross!

Rathus has been a huge asset to the Character System team. From the early designs on the system, Rathus has been a willing test subject. Shadow and I needed a low ranking member that was eager to help, and that had no idea what Fate was. Rathus was the perfect test subject, and he contributed instantly.

But his help didn't end there. Rathus spent the majority of the time Wally and I were working on the character sheets working for Taldryan, but once he submitted to the Aspect competition, he returned to the fold. Rathus spent a great deal of time in the weeks immediately preceeding our beta test brainstorming skills. He went through every Skill and created at least one Feat for them, though not all of them made it into our initial release. He also worked on additional Aspects, and has had a hand in balance and design of numerous Feats for Disciplines. Despite his Crusade work, Rathus found time to help out with the Character System to a huge degree, and absolutely deserves this Grand Cross. Congratulations, Rathus!

Shadow is the only reason our character sheets exist as they are today, and the only reason I am CM today. The only thing I would change, if I could, would be that it is he, not I, receiving an AK for the release of these sheets.

He brought me in to his project. Instantly, he and I shared a vision of a dynamic sheet that emphasized character customization, of simplification, and of parity. We knew the Brotherhood needed something that would allow members of all ranks to specialize themselves, while still providing a standard basis for competitive writing such as that in the ACC. Before I even knew of his plans, I suggested the Fate system - and as it turned out, he had already been looking into the option. His initial groundwork set the stage for our Fate of the Jedi Proposal, and without it, I wouldn't be CM today.

Shadow is an amazing, creative asset. He's the best writer I think I've had the pleasure of reading, and easily one of the most creative and dynamic minds the Brotherhood has ever seen. He was never really awarded for his part in the original proposal, and thus, I think I must give him the award he so definitely deserves: A Grand Cross.

Shadow, congratulations!
