Btw, I think the conflict webs post you’re looking for is here: http://web.archive.org/web/20060215075454/bankuei.blogspot.com/2006/02/conflict-web.html

@bif – …and I’ll use my newest PC, a 4e deva shaman (in Eberron):

1. Prevent another Day of Mourning at any cost. (The Day of Mourning is the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, reinterpreted through the lens of a fantasy world’s World War I.)

2. Use subtlety to preserve peace in the Five Nations, despite my instinct to go out in a blaze of glory. (Deva are immortal via reincarnation — every time they die, they come back as a fully socialized adult deva. My shaman is four years old at the start of the game.)

3. Assess the greatest threat to the Treaty of Thronehold, and begin working to mitigate it.

#3 is a bit weak because we’ve only done the prelude to the campaign, and while I know the general direction of the game I don’t yet know where we’re starting or what we’ll be up to for the first few sessions.

Awesome! I’ll try one…

For my CoC 1920′s character:
1. Persevere no matter the adversity.
2. Reclaim my standing in society.
3. Figure out why I was released from the asylum despite my condition getting steadily worse.

1. Fly anything and fly it hard.
2. Be the starship pilot everyone is still talking about 100 years from now.
3. Outrace the other Rogue Trader ships thru the Dark Eldar blockade, through the asteroid belt, and to the crypt world of Sasani XII.

That was cool. I now know what to do when the situation calls for a choice between caution or crazed flying.
