[UA] Parkour and The Gambler

I just heard mention of Parkour, possibly the coolest
sport/hobby/dangerous stunt ever invented.

A good website to check (I think mentioned before) is
http://www.urbanfreeflow.com/

The little stick animation of Parkour shows what it is, but almost looks
absurd--  who could DO that?  Well, then you see actual videos.  It's
great.

Looking at it, I think that it goes perfectly, no more than perfectly,
with the new Gambler Avatar.  Here you have people taking huge risks of
injury, but training and preparing for them-- they think they have the
edge.

Plus, the hunch rolls really help when you're deciding whether to do a
basic move or an advanced dangerous one.

So, if I ever get to play UA (instead of just GMing), I think I have my
character.  :-)  The two essentials: Speed skill Parkour, and Soul skill
The Gambler.

*knaws on knucles*  Mayhaps I can convince one of my players to do a
one-shot.
