So we heard tell you're interested in applying to ST or Narrate in the Changeling venue!
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:07:53 PM)
Yes i am, sent in my App this morning
Adversarius (Sep 20, 2010 9:08:06 PM)
It was great lunch break reading
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:08:12 PM)
Was it?
Adversarius (Sep 20, 2010 9:08:37 PM)
For the most part. It's nice to see someone so passionate about the game
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:08:48 PM)
The fact that you mentioned Fables and could relate it to CtD speaks highly of you in my book.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:09:01 PM)
Out of all the OWOD venues, it was my favorite.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:09:23 PM)
One of the biggest things I look for in any ST is the ability to incorporate many sources into their workings beyond the source material. WW published some good stuff, but there's far more out there than thebooks themselves.

oh yes there is, take the old myths, and celtic storys, or even 1001 Arabian Nights. The storys of Canibal Spirtis from Hati.
Tyler Smith (Sep 20, 2010 9:11:11 PM)
...There's Changeling and more in this room, I've heard.
Adversarius (Sep 20, 2010 9:11:14 PM)

Evenin', Ad
Adversarius (Sep 20, 2010 9:12:30 PM)
I'm working with someone on their sheet currently. Sit tight and I'll get to ya soonish
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:13:06 PM)
I will say I've got some slight concern, shared by Adv I believe, about your understanding of the material we've put up about the game so far.
Saphirra (Sep 20, 2010 9:13:30 PM)
(This user has entered Changeling and More) (IP = 67.160.95.34)
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:14:01 PM)
In particular you mention that you'd like to see unseelie stuff restricted at opening.
Saphirra (Sep 20, 2010 9:14:13 PM)
Hiya, kids. *waves* I'm just a fly on the wall, 'cause I wanted to see Silva talk with youalls.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:14:45 PM)
Now, I'm sure your reasons are sound, but I would like to ask you to explain why you think that way given the setting material (admittedly limited as it is) we've put up so far./
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:16:25 PM)
Well, More like teh Shadow Court stuff, in particular.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:17:41 PM)
Shadow Court is not open to PCs, as it really isn't appropriate for PC stuff, so we agree there.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:18:30 PM)
I just see it as a way for some players, not all to take advantage of the system and activly antagonize and or kill other players because, "It's in thier character, to do so." But you've already addressed that on teh forums.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:19:43 PM)
indeed, anti-social character concepts are banned.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:20:18 PM)
Here's another way to ask this - what is your idea of how the game, given the broad setting info we've provided, might play out? there's no wrong answers, this is purely assessment.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:24:09 PM)
So far I really like whats already present, it makes perfect sense to me the way you've both written it up, why NOLA is as it is. It's like a kingdom putting it's self back together after a decades long siege, people are dead and gone, the kingdom is weakened, and people are searching for others, people ahve suffered, and there is very little joy, and the area and it's dreams reflect it. The kingdom is looking for heros, great and small, it's looking for a guiding light.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:25:41 PM)
those are good themes to address, and definitely welcome in our game. you lose one point for reference to a subpar soap opera though.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:25:41 PM)
;)
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:26:05 PM)
Sorry... I'm kind of a hopeless romantic
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:26:13 PM)
oh, I'm a Romantic as well.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:26:27 PM)
But are you hopeless?
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:26:33 PM)
in the 18th century literary and philosophical movement sense.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:26:42 PM)
adding hopeless is redundant.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:26:48 PM)
;)
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:27:03 PM)
anyway. here's another query.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:27:03 PM)
I'm the type that says... if you're going to fall, may as well dive

Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:27:53 PM)
Given that we -are- allowing unseelie concepts into our game, and given what you understand of the venue so far, what sort of storylines might you craft and run FOR unseelie characters in the venue? again, no wrong answers.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:28:21 PM)
as you will likely be called upon to do so unless fate oddly decides to give us seelie and unseelie specific STs...
Tyler Smith (Sep 20, 2010 9:31:29 PM)
Fate's never that nice. :)
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:32:50 PM)
Yeah, well, fuck that guy. He plays with rigged dice.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:33:36 PM)
The dreaming has a very odd way of representing the unseelie, as winter. There is a darkness to them, the dirty thoughts you think when no one is looking, the rage at the dueschbag that cut you off in traffic. The dark, primal lizard brain dreams that most resist. The unseelie is truely the ultimate cut-throat game of thrones, who can take the power and keep it the longest, before someone else steps up and either kills you or forces you to submitt. I'd proabbaly run a more Game of thrones SL's for thsoe attempting to seek power but it's really all just for the amusement for those already in power and have no intention of giving it up.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:35:17 PM)
Huhm.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:35:20 PM)
I'm a Huge fan of House BAlor as antagonists.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:35:35 PM)
there's nothing wrong with that, they seem to be situated as such.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:37:38 PM)
But if I were to do teh nGame of Thrones... I'd totally have House Leanhaun in it... they are so much better at those games
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:37:55 PM)
you do seem to be missing one element we've put up
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:38:01 PM)
that this is a Commoner game.
Kitten (Sep 20, 2010 9:38:21 PM)
It would be intersting to see a polotical struggle where the fight is with someone in the open and well known
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:38:27 PM)
the nobility ahve been driven out of power. there ARE nobles present, but the Lux freehodl is in the hands of a commoner satyr.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:39:18 PM)
Well teh commoner's are obvious, I thought you were talking about Antagonists... the Houses love to pick commoner's against each other in teh Unseelie court, for the little scraps of meeningless titles they give them, which further their own ends
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:40:12 PM)
alrighty, well. let's bring it down from grand designs to something more root-level.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:40:38 PM)
you'd be comfortable working with commoner oriented storylines?
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:40:52 PM)
Ah ok... sorry I think big and work my way down to ... just my story making process
Tyler Smith (Sep 20, 2010 9:41:06 PM)
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 69.92.220.70)
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:41:21 PM)
Yeah... it's a hell of a lot less trying than Nobles
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:41:42 PM)
not a problem, SK.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:41:58 PM)
as I said, no wrong answers at all, we're just trying to get a feel for what you're expecting, and see if it meshes.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:43:08 PM)
Commoner are the work horses of the Changeling society... their storys are a lot more richer and full in desiign... when i think of a commor story I think of Lord of the Rings, or the Hobbit.
Tyler Smith (Sep 20, 2010 9:43:17 PM)
(This user has entered Changeling and More) (IP = 69.92.220.70)

Congrats Tylre
Tyler Smith (Sep 20, 2010 9:43:57 PM)
Yay. Now just picture a butterfly there.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:44:20 PM)
tell me, have you ever read any Urban Fantasy books, such as the Dresden Files, Anita Blake, or something in like vein?
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:45:16 PM)
I'm a HUGE fan of the Dresden files, and I was going to say somethign to that effect earlier, but I didn't want my geel=k feathers showing jsut yet, and the stories with teh Fae courts are always my favorite
Kitten (Sep 20, 2010 9:45:16 PM)
I was acutely thinking of going for a Dresden Files inspired fairy.. kind of after the.. humm.. Summer Night? the ones he meets in that one
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:46:14 PM)
Summer Knight.
Kitten (Sep 20, 2010 9:46:32 PM)
It's a summery sweet boggan with a green thumb.. or my other impluse, a slaugha that lives in one of those really cool above ground crypts
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:46:45 PM)
Their were a lot of Fae in taht one, which one are you talkign about?
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:46:54 PM)
our stories won't quite be ont he scale of the Dresden Files fairy stories. probably more akin to the stories in Fool Moon, or Storm Front
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:47:08 PM)
stay on track, people ;)
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:47:10 PM)
this is an interview.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:47:10 PM)
Ah...
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:47:22 PM)
but there WILL be larger plots similar to Summer Knight.
Kitten (Sep 20, 2010 9:47:34 PM)
Aurora, before the reveal and her being rather an extreamist, sort of reimagined as a boggan.. so.. Aurora, in the scene before it's revealed she is the summer queen?
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:47:35 PM)
not quite end of the world grade stuff, but fairy politicking and powerplays.
Kitten (Sep 20, 2010 9:47:40 PM)
Sorry, I'll stop sidetracking
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:47:45 PM)
thanks Kitten.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:48:01 PM)
Game of thrones
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:48:18 PM)
that's still a bit larger scale than we're going for, but yes, some elements similar to GoT.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:48:20 PM)
Thats what I call politicing and powerplaying
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:48:43 PM)
well, I'll let Adv ask questions at this point.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:49:06 PM)
Thanks for your answers, you'v ebeen very clear and clearly are very interested in what you have to share.
Kitten (Sep 20, 2010 9:49:39 PM)

Adversarius (Sep 20, 2010 9:50:33 PM)
The main thing to keep in mind is that everything taking place in New Orleans is without Noble sanction of any kind. The King of Willows is paying no attention, and those Nobles that have made moves on the territory have been repelled. Considering this setting makes the Nobility the little guys, Commoners step out into the limelight for a shot at real change. Can you break from cannon and court/class stereotypes to grow that theme?
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:53:12 PM)
Sure... not a question of that, I just need to look over and reread what you guys have, aa few of the books I haven't looked at ina while like Fool's Luck. But I also understand that with teh King turnign a blind eye to NOLA, the Shadow Court would deffinetly see this as a perfect oportunity to feast on this place, and set up a bulwark.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:53:55 PM)
let's focus a bit on protagonists, if we could SK. that seems to be a theme so far, you've got good ideas for the antagonists, but let's steer toward prots.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:54:20 PM)
just a not,e I have 15 minutes then I must go meet a friend for dinner.
Saphirra (Sep 20, 2010 9:54:50 PM)
'gory's gonna harvest her Faith. Or Glamor.
Adversarius (Sep 20, 2010 9:55:17 PM)
The Shadow Court would certainly be fitting, be they tend to be more behind the scenes of villany.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:56:09 PM)
What would you like to know about my thoughts on Protagonists?
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:58:39 PM)
Actually, don't worry about it for now.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:59:10 PM)
SK, we're going to take you on as a narrator. If we like the stuff you put out, and you can handle the work, we'll pull you in as an AST.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 9:59:31 PM)
Sweet, I'd love to work with you guys
Adversarius (Sep 20, 2010 9:59:39 PM)
Welcome aboard
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:59:41 PM)
You've got some good ideas and seem like you could input a lot of great stuff into the grand scale of the game, but need some practice focusing on the lower-end and protaganist-oriented thinking.
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 9:59:55 PM)
We're glad to have you.
Silverkitsune OOC (Sep 20, 2010 10:00:10 PM)
Well I'm all about learning
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 10:00:14 PM)
Adv, could you get him up to speed on the nature of the opening storylines we want to run?
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 10:00:21 PM)
or should that wait til another day?
Adversarius (Sep 20, 2010 10:00:29 PM)
I can do that now
Allegory (Sep 20, 2010 10:01:06 PM)
Alright.
