Hi,
first of all: If this is the wrong category, please move it to the appropriate one, I just figured this thread would be a great addition to any characters and lifepaths.
I would like to know what the Motifs were you used for your games so far. I believe that a collection of working Motifs helps new and veteran players alike to come up with more robust and playable Motifs themselves.
In my last group the filous and the factotum were employees of the soldat, who recently inherited his father’s busines. Completely unfit to lead his state, the group decided to support their new boss with the Motif: "We won’t let the Beaulieu name fall in disgrace."
