We will have a list up soon about what's allowed at creation, and how we'll be allowing rolls.
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 5:58:02 PM)
I do promise we haven't been sitting on our bright blue STrollish arses, we've gotten some great setting material and the first three weeks' storylines all plotted out.

I think this will work best if we go down the list. anyone object?

Alienrat OOC (Sep 8, 2010 6:07:43 PM)
Want us to just shout out our questions? Don't wanna rush ya.
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:08:03 PM)
In essence the metaplot we're working with is the idea that the old court order in NO was smashed up by the hurricane. NO is built on a LOT of iron, so it's a rough place for Fae and chimera to begin with. Katrina exposed a lot of that, and the recovery period made it a very banal place. after a couple of years of this intolerable situation, some of the fae commoners, lead by a charismatic union leader sort, lead a rebellion that ultimately put the commoners in control of the city.
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:08:41 PM)
after a few months, the nearby nobles mounted a counter-raid, and were promptly driven back. there were all kinds of rumors as to WHY this invasion failed, but it's given everyone a wary respect for the mysterious and successful Roy duFontain.
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:09:14 PM)
of late, with things settling out, invitations for fae looking to make their way in new orleans have begun to go out, calling people to try the city out once again. /overview
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Sep 8, 2010 6:09:56 PM)

ok, doc, anything you'd like to say?
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Sep 8, 2010 6:10:59 PM)

king david, going missing? maybe I'm that rusty on my changling.

this is a lot like a tabletop group. If ound a book I like, and I'm trying to learn the setting as I prepare my own game.

Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:17:03 PM)
we certainly could!
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Sep 8, 2010 6:17:11 PM)
if i made a fish pooka could they breathe underwater in their fae non animal form?
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:17:13 PM)
though some NPCs will have named weapons of their own.
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:17:25 PM)
No, I don't think so Doc.
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Sep 8, 2010 6:17:44 PM)
i can't remember in the book

well, let's hear some character ideas people have, if y'all would like.
Ailuromancy OOC (Sep 8, 2010 6:26:11 PM)
Still never figured out how a place could be banal
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:26:25 PM)
It's easy.
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:26:31 PM)
a - lots of iron everywhere.
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:26:49 PM)
b - boring. atmosphere of depression, exhaustion, and hopelessness.
Ailuromancy OOC (Sep 8, 2010 6:27:01 PM)
The book specifically states a place cannot be banal?
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:27:18 PM)
and our game specifically states that we're going to be adjusting the canon to be fit with the concepts we have inmind.
JaydedCammie OOC (Sep 8, 2010 6:27:33 PM)
I'm totally doing my ytoll mystic
Ailuromancy OOC (Sep 8, 2010 6:28:12 PM)

You're free not to play if that's the case.
Alienrat OOC (Sep 8, 2010 6:29:13 PM)
Is that going to have an effect on the mechanics of the game? or is it going to be just life outside of a freehold is that boring.
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:29:17 PM)
we're building the game that we want to run. we have certain ideas that we think will work, and people are invited to engage withthem and give our setting a shot.
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:29:26 PM)
it will have a mechanical effect, actually.
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Sep 8, 2010 6:29:32 PM)

Ailuromancy OOC (Sep 8, 2010 6:31:43 PM)
I'm sure you're doing what you want to do. I'm stating as a player interested in the game, deviating from cannon can become more trouble than it's worth in play. And certainly strikes me as something of a turn-off when I'm told that NOLA is an exceptionally boring, dull, lifeless city when the place is renowned for its party lifestyle.
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:31:46 PM)
for example, everyone will have an automatic, latent .1 banality gain per month.

Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:33:19 PM)
Reputation does not always reflect reality,Ailuromancy. There are still parts of New Orleans that are desolate and struggling after the hurricane, that havenot been effectively rebuilt. There are people buried in debt fromthe massive damages to their homes and businesses after the hurricane. There is still a -great- deal of iron in the basis of the city which,like it ornot, DOES affect faeries and inflict banality. Having so much of it around WILL cost them, whether one likes it or not.
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:33:47 PM)
however, we have not said that NO is exceptionally boring or lifeless. merely that these aspects are PRESENT in the city in greater degree since the hurricane, because it left an undeniable scar on the place.
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Sep 8, 2010 6:34:47 PM)
the hurricane happened after owod ended too, i think
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:35:24 PM)
it's best to view our decision on the latent banality as a challenge to be overcome. NO is a city of opportunities, but also a city of challenges and hardships. There is a lot of room there, and we honestly don't think a .1 banality per month imposition is going to overwhelm our players.
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:35:54 PM)

so do we have an idea of how the barony is going to work out?
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:42:12 PM)
We know that it's not a barony, for one thing ;)
ONE OOC (Sep 8, 2010 6:42:25 PM)
humm well there is that *G*
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:42:50 PM)
Following the hurricane, there was a period of intense banality as the recovery dragged on, and as the city's iron foundations were exposed during the rebuilding. this lead to disattisfaction with the Sidhe rulers, and a commoner revolt.
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:43:14 PM)
commoners are currently in control of the city, at the command of one Roy duFontain, a mysterious figure and assumed strategic genius.
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Sep 8, 2010 6:45:43 PM)
its late yes i know but i meant the hurricane happened after the books were done
ONE OOC (Sep 8, 2010 6:46:18 PM)
humm interesting
Allegory (Sep 8, 2010 6:46:52 PM)
just to recap, allowed books at chargen are core, player's guide, and kithbooks.

there is a freehold, centered in an old big hotel called the Lux. there may also be minor freeholds around, such as the roving freehold known as the Pearl, which is located in a riverboat.
