We talk about [Aviv](https://twitter.com/AvivOr) and [Ev](https://twitter.com/evyatron) behind their backs! HOHOHOH

Actually we just regerutate some advice that they gave us.

### Player's perspective (3:00)

Choose a character class/playbook/concept that can stand on its own - has enough power to influence the story/combat, can survive alone, has some ability with communications.

Avoid min-maxing, go broad. Play to whatever strengths the system, and world, call for. Talk a lot with your GM - if they’re not into doing matrix runs in a cyberpunk game, there’s no point in aiming for a hacker.

### GM's perspective (9:10)

Re-plan everything for one.

Everything is personal, there’s nothing else.

Avoid balance, it’s a harmful concept. Give lots of useful items, favours, blessings.

Go wild. You can do the type of things they have in movies and books - throw him to jail, have him escape. Play a whole date with someone.

Tailor the adventure to this specific character.

Relationships are key. Have tons of major NPCs, in various social circles.

Sessions will be slow-paced. If you want to search for something, you can’t do it while the players talk amongst themselves.
