We don’t have the rules yet but I’m interested to hear what characters people are going to play for mistborn era 1 and 2. Any cool ideas or are people waiting to see the rules?
I'm starting a campaign with the party waking up from a shipwreck. I mainly want to present problems and have the players solve them. But I am prepping possible avenues they could pursue such as explore the island (find helpful native maybe) build a raft, or light a signal fire. The main snag I am running into is the signal fire. How do I make that interesting? I have some ideas for the natives noticing and confronting them, but I am trying to think of something before that. My current idea is giant crabs attack, maybe they might destroy the fire for some reason? Any ideas I could add on?
Edit - I don't plan on making this survival based, the island is more of a set piece than anything. I don't think they will be on it for more than a session or two. I am going to have one roll to see if they can find some food from their ship and then not worry about it, maybe an npc they help will help them out with food. They will have all the equipment characters would normally have in session 1. I am instead making a different mistake of trying to plan for everything like what if they don't choose the more interesting plot hooks and build a signal fire to wait things out.
