Smoke Maker

You work in a smoke factory. You don’t know what is manufactured in it or who’s your boss. But you know your foreman (and half the time you would like to strangle him with your own hands). The pay is bad, but at least you can eat once a day, or two if you manage well. Oh well, that’s over. Early in the morning you strangled your foreman and, yes, you are now a fugitive. Not that they really want to catch you, but if they have the opportunity they will use you as an example for all the other workers and their fantasies of revolution.

Smoke Craft

You can manipulate the smoke as though it was clay, but without solidity. You can create shapes or move it like a puppet. You can also do tricks with the smoke of your pipe.

I’m working on a setting for Troika! Numinous Edition. Seriously, guys, you should try it! There’s no other game like it, there’s no fun like it out there. Anyway, I’m working on an End of Time setting ‘zine and although it will take some time to finish the first issue, I wanted to share some of the things I’m making. I had previously posted the Candle Witch, another character background, and I got a few positive comments on Facebook and Reddit. If you like it, I’d like to know. If you think it’s boring, I’d like to know too, so I can do better!
