Add a new Dynastic Rule. Call it “The Order of Things”

Each Actor has a role, selected from one of fifteen options, tracked in the GNDT called â€œroleâ€. Roles which appear closer to “Unemployed” are considered less favorable, and roles which appear closer to “Superstar” are considered more favorable. All actorâ€™s start with the role of â€œDay Time TV Voice Actorâ€.

Roles are as follows:
*Unemployed
*Day Time TV Voice Actor
*Soap Opera Actor
*Prime Time TV Supporting Actor
*Prime Time TV Lead Actor
*Low Grade Movie Voice Actor
*Low Grade Movie Supporting Actor
*Standard Movie Voice Actor
*Low Grade Movie Lead Actor
*Standard Movie Supporting Actor
*Blockbuster Movie Voice Actor
*Standard Movie Lead Actor
*Blockbuster Movie Supporting Actor
*Blockbuster Movie Lead Actor
*Superstar

Kevan: he/him

Doesn’t really fit with Chindogu’s cinema-history angle, which I think would make a better core mechanic.

I’m liking ChinDoGu’s proposal. Hopefully, that will lead to an interesting mechanic.

I still like this. I don’t think that they’re mutually exclusive.

I like Kevan’s proposal, but these two are not exclusive by any means.

I love this idea better than ChinDoGu’s for one reason. Who picks what movie’s you were in? If the Actor does, that will lead to an every Actor for emself for choice movies. This set-up avoids that.
