Title: Marmot questions
Post by: Metal Fatigue on September 04, 2011, 05:35:30 PM: (1) If the Marmot is in play, are all the characters assumed to be talking animals?

(2) How the heck can a Marmot get pregnant by anything that isn't a Marmot?

(3) What happens if another character changes playbooks to the Marmot?

2) Via the Marmot special. ^_^
3) They get the two marmot starting moves, change their special, etc. Plus maybe some clues if the MC is feeling nice about that. Like any playbook change, really.

1) Super no. No like crazy.

2) Weird, huh? Almost as though something were wrong with the world. I wonder what it is!

3) Keep everything from your old life that's part of you, like for instance the fact that you're a human being not a marmot, probably, and leave behind everything that was just part of your old life. Work out with the MC the details of which is which.

I dare somebody to do this. I totally dare you.

Live the Marmot, folks.
