I'm not saying it is dead... just that it's likely to progress at a snail's pace. I'm still adapting to my new work rhythm, so my creative energy is currently... very low.

Ugh, new schedule. Short story: fun (for now) but tiring (it's going to stay that way I feel). I feel the update schedule is going to change to "whenever I have a speck of energy".

Also, new work schedule next week. I don't know how it's going to impact my games, but I'll keep you informed.

Well, sounds like it's time for another skip ;)

Sorry for the recent lack of activity, but my getting back to work is draining my energy real fast.

Well damn, it seemed I had glossed over a line explicitely stating that Familiars cannot die as long as their masters live (p 112). So they're not so fragile and useless after all.

If you still want a familiar for Amoneth, I guess it's less suboptimal that I thought.

Well, looks like I was inspired.

To make it short:
* Kolth + Lyiana + Ake stay and watch over the Guild
* Teamhair + Orduin + Yvela watch on the Elder. That way, if there's trouble the martially inclined will be able to flex their muscles.

If you've another spread in mind, by all means mention it.

The beginning of a mile-wide smile was starting to form on Ake's lips, when Lyiana chimed in: "That is an interesting possibility, but I wonder if we aren't doing too much second-guessing. Assuming the Elder is a pawn of whomever wants the war - the Guild, our quarry, or someone more sinister - disp...

I suppose you can just leave the adjucation to me (what do I know, I'm just the ST ) and once Hawkwings writes something we can just roll on with the adventure. Just telling.

It's not really a matter of mechanics. You're mixing the real-world and Creation. The real world has no metaphysical basis for virtues, only acculturation and evolution, so obviously one's real world culture will tint one's appreciation of a given virtue's tenets. Not so with Creation. It may be awk...

There is no mucking around with Virtues. Compassion 3+ characters must make a mental effort in order to finish off an enemy that has wronged them and could kill them in the future (represented by the need to fail a Virtue check, or spend a point of Willpower). It makes no allowance whatsoever for 'c...

It lives!

Well, you can discuss a bit. I'm not much inspired to NPC either former PC right now.

Mmh nice

No volunteer, or is it summer inertia?

I'm giving a friendly warning here, but you do realize that leaving me to make you an NPC mate is like, much too tempting for my inner troll :twisted: . Especially since the Circle is out for a Solardick's blood :cool: ... Just kidding :wink: For Amoneth's lance, well, I suppose you could make the t...

Well, I'm iffy about this grey area... Maybe this is just me being grumpy, we'll see after I get a good night's sleep. BTW frigid: there's no 3 dots talisman. 1 dot of Artifact equates 3 points of talisman. I suspect you'll want to go with a 3 points botch-cancelling, 3 points wound-cancelling, and ...

Yup. I'll see what I need WRT the plot that will unfurl when you get back to Lookshy... So, basically, when we were stopped there were two venues of inquiry/action: the Guild, and Elder Labdaran. I suspect Teamhair and Kolth will start investigating first hand, with Orduin and Yvela providing whatev...

Yep.

It seems a reasonable suggestion that the appearance of three additional Anathema would cause even a Wyld Hunt to a strategic retreat. Until they can muster additional troops and Dragon-Blood (not easy in the Scavenger lands, with all the trouble brewing on the Isle...)

The thought has come up. I'm not sure at the moment. He would probably be suppressing any feeling of the bond right now. I'm open to having that develop as a plot point, depending on the exact idea and such. Technically, on the Lunar's part, the Bond implies instant recognition and Intimacy - it ca...

Mmmh. BTW have you decided who you should be bonded to? If you want it?

@LadyTevar: don't worry, I know the feeling .

@rhoenix:

Nice. That's a good start.

@Hawkwings: don't bother with Manse construction for now. Focus on fleshing out your character first. Then we'll discuss the details of your Manse.

It reminds me of that nice fanfic of yours. I can't promise that it will turn out as happily in this game :wink: I'll try to write a tentative restart this evening - just a tiny morsel to hook you in (and plunge myself back in the old intrigue). If I can't lift my writer's block... well, I'll be kin...

Sounds fine by me :)

In the coming days I'm gonna review the charsheet proper to make sure they're mechanically sound, and we'll see about the improved direlance and Thalia's Manse.

You can have your airships, I just want to make it clear that they are eight centuries gone - destroyed or traded away to Lookshy for dismantling. No hull, no spare parts, no blueprints, nothing remains but what's in history scrolls. (Unless of course I ultimately decide to use it as a plot hook, bu...
