One of the main flaws I see in SD is the difference between what the material makes the players expect and what the campaign is about. I'll be dming this campaign in some months, but since I like to prepare myself, I decided to be a little more honest on the player's expectations, making exploration of the shadow in the sky more important than the gaming hall, but leaving the option for the character (but not the player) ignoring the shadow for now and just gambling and such.
However, after reviewing the first book, on the first pages I was re-introduced to the golden goblin and the diabolical theme and such. And given the option of being more or less a common adventurer-mercenary trying to hit the prize, I see that one of the players would NEVER forgive me if she didn't have the chance to play one of the hot succubus-clad waitresses. Since she always like to be the sexy one, instead of waiting to hear "cool, can I be one?", I intend on giving her this option.
Given that, I'm planning some more traits, including the option of being one of the reccently employed girls at the golden goblin, but I'm at a loss... I don't want to custom-make the trait for her char (the players would see it, and they don't like custom-made things. They like to think that with different groups they could tackle the same challegens differently)), but I spent some ten minutes imagining a cool ability, so thought "Why not ask?"
So, any good ideas on what could be the benefit of this trait, and also, can you imagine some other nice traits? All ideas are welcome!
