Re: The Witcher
I'd say that using the system or not is up to the person who runs it. I'll roll with whatever they decide to do, because after all this time, I'm just happy to play in the setting! I'd probably either play a Witcher or a magic user of some sort, it sort of depends on what the storyteller feels strongest at.
If you feel strongest running classic monster slaying, wenching and a more witcher styled campaign, then being a witcher is the obvious choice..
On the other hand, if you're the sort who runs morally grey political campaigns in Vampire and the like, and that's your strength, then a mage would be a better choice.
I'm happy with either.
Era preference: we can discuss it. I have ideas on how to adapt a new setting post the events of Witcher 3, or we can go quite a bit earlier. I tend to want to avoid entangling myself with the events of the video games.
Witcher School: School of the Bear, probably.
