WthC - character name standee


The standee that will come along with the character sheet.

In games I've ran that used pregens there is a trick that I employed to make things move a bit smoother. Each player had a little paper standee in front of them with their character name on it. In each of the pregen write ups it gave a bit about their relationship or knowledge of the other characters. So with the standees in place they could get a better frame of reference for who they need to talk to, they can get in character a bit better by instantly seeing the name they need to use for folks.

I've decided to port this over to Welcome To The City as well. You see there is no mystery to who the other characters are, everyone is assigned to a City Works Division work crew. So with a quick glance they get to see the persons name, their place in the chain of command and specialization.

Of course after my blog posts about masks there will also be a spot for someone to draw their own if they have a design. After all when you can't see a persons face most of the time their mask becomes how you recognize them.

What do others think about this idea?
