Alright for the most part, and np.. i'm just kinda lurking. Stopped in.. cuz.. um.. I could go back and forth for 10 minutes or so about wanting something but not really wanting something. I'll spare you. I've been bored.
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 8, 2010 10:15:45 PM)
The long and short is that Aislinn's been poking in his head, trying to figure out wtf IS wrong with him aside from memory loss. and..
Alan 'Jareth' Lee (Oct 8, 2010 10:15:46 PM)
I've been working on npcs from his background, and I've been plotted out an encounter back in Seattle for Darwin before she left for here with one of said NPCs. Have you objections, suggestions, requests on such matters?
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:23:10 PM)
I don't.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:23:20 PM)
I can't run it, because I have too much connection with SEattle
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:23:23 PM)

Are you allowed to have multiple characters within the mage venue?
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:32:09 PM)
Last time I checked, no.
Hades (Oct 8, 2010 10:32:17 PM)
Only if they become my mage's minions
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:32:17 PM)
-nods- Was jsut curious.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:32:21 PM)
this could have changed as I have been largely absent for the last couple of months

I took the job here, and hen I got pulled away by real life

Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:35:06 PM)
As a dreamspeaker, my character relies much on his relations with the umbral world and it's denizens. In a scene without an ST present, how should that be handled?
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:42:08 PM)
Eep. that's a good question.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:42:23 PM)
Firstoff, the avatar storm is in place. So stepping sideways is a dangerous thing.
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:42:35 PM)
He has 5pt storm warden, so...not so much in his particular case
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:42:42 PM)
who sanctioned that?
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:42:46 PM)
Toh
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:42:52 PM)
Then we'll have to handle it on a case by case basis.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:43:08 PM)
I hate to give you that answer, but I can't just answer that. Toh is the spirit guy, not me.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:43:18 PM)
I'm the techie girl. :)
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:43:31 PM)
Not to worry. ^_^
Hades (Oct 8, 2010 10:43:40 PM)
Mmm, techies
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:44:04 PM)
He has a personal totem, a Crow spirit that I've just NPC'd. It's completely non-combative though so not an issue.
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:44:11 PM)
Other spirits that arn't naturally bound to him, however, made me think to raise the question.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:44:12 PM)
*nods*
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:44:19 PM)
Well, I'll tell you this.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:44:30 PM)
as far as I am concerned? not everything is solved by spirit, and umbral connections.
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:44:43 PM)
Certainly not! Nor would I assume such.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:44:44 PM)
But I understand that it's important to your pc, as is your familiiar.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:44:55 PM)
so...eep. that's still a hard question that I don't have a good answer for.
Hades (Oct 8, 2010 10:45:06 PM)
But a good number of things can be solved by Forces *nods sagely*
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:45:12 PM)
But as a dream speaker, it's often their first recourse. He has spirit 3, life 3, and life for him is more for healing than anything else.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:45:16 PM)
Not everything can be solved by forces!!!
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:45:21 PM)
*nods*

Says who?
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:45:36 PM)
lol
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:45:44 PM)
Didn't he die during the fall of Doissetep?
Porthos (Oct 8, 2010 10:45:54 PM)
(This user is now known as Hades.)
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:45:55 PM)
No pothos.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:45:58 PM)
No, he wsn't there.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:46:04 PM)
He was in another horizon realm, getting a sandwich.
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:46:08 PM)
lol
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:46:12 PM)
he wanted a special sandwich.
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:46:20 PM)
A special forces sandwich?
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:46:22 PM)
He made Mustai get it for him.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:46:30 PM)
The Janissaries were his bitch.
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 10:46:43 PM)
Then they had a big arguement cause Mustai used the wrong kind of bread, and things went downhill from there
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:47:03 PM)
pretty much.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:47:11 PM)
that's how i ran porthos in my TT
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:47:26 PM)
it was always a fight between mustai and porthos over a sandwich
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:47:37 PM)
you knew you did a good job when he actually ate the sandwich
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:47:42 PM)
if he threw it on the floor...you were fucked.
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:48:03 PM)
So you say Toh is the man with the plan when it comes to spirits. Think I should just sling him an FPM with the question?
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:48:13 PM)
yes
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:48:22 PM)
-nods- I'll do that.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:48:24 PM)
tell him I said so, because he's the self proclaimed spirit guy
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:48:33 PM)
lol, I'll be sure to mention that
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 10:49:00 PM)
We'll buy him a cap with that title on it when the staff christmas party rolls around
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:50:05 PM)
Ok.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:50:08 PM)
I like that idea.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:50:11 PM)
Toh is a great guy
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:50:19 PM)
but I explained that spirit isn't my strong suit conceptually
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:50:24 PM)
it's a conceptual issue with me
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:50:26 PM)
so he handles that.
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:50:48 PM)
-nods- It's certainly the most broad sphere, to be so horribly specific. A very strange mix.
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 10:52:58 PM)
I like spirit
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:53:12 PM)
I love it, it's a wonderful sphere and the umbral dynamics are tons of fun.
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 10:53:13 PM)
Though I'm more of fond of prime
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:53:26 PM)
But it is difficult to handle without an ST holding the characters hand, so to speak
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 10:54:05 PM)
Yeah. Then again, mage is the more difficult of the venues to transition from TT to online in my opinion
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:54:19 PM)
I agree, wraith aside.
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 10:54:34 PM)
Just because of the fact that where other venues have rules, mage gets guidelines
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:54:41 PM)
And that's just a logistics issue, since it takes 2 characters per PC by default
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 10:54:49 PM)
Never learned wraith myself
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:55:06 PM)
Mage is hard. But we do try hard.
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:55:16 PM)
Awesome game, prolly my favorite, but definately not for online play in my opinion.
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:55:46 PM)
Yea, mage is difficult, but doable. So long as some ground rules are laid out.
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 10:55:52 PM)
Mage is certainly near the top of the list for me. It's tied at the top with Mummy
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:56:39 PM)
Demon is my faovrite game for online play, mage being second with all others drifting pretty far behind
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:57:02 PM)
I love mage.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 10:57:08 PM)
it's m y favourite ww game. period.
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:59:08 PM)
I love the multi-faceted reality aspect of mage, which is why I think I'm most drawn to it. Horizon realms, shard realms, correspondence realms, umbra, shadowlands, etc. That and the sheer variety of capabilities
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 10:59:59 PM)
Oh, and of course, with the nephandi and marauders they by far have the coolest antagonists. ^_^
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 11:02:07 PM)
Me myself, I'm a bigger fan of the Technocracy than the Traditions. But then that's because I'm big on science RL =)
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:02:29 PM)
lol, the traditions are prolly my least favorite group in the mage meta
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:02:47 PM)
I prefer Techies, Marauders, especially nephandus, over them any day
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 11:03:21 PM)
Marauders and Nephandi are handy ST tools
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:03:32 PM)
heheh
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:03:44 PM)
They make great PCs, if the game is setup properly. Though that's -very- rarely the case in online games like this one
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:04:12 PM)
A group of marauder 'reality activists' can be an awesome PC troupe
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:09:32 PM)
online games make it hard
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:09:36 PM)
the books aren't written for that
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:09:51 PM)
-nods- Agreed. As I said, it's a rare case that any of them can fit into a game such as this one
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:14:37 PM)
hence why i have to limit the mages to mages and a small number of psychics and sorcerers
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:17:17 PM)
Do you happen to know how you guys plan on handling PC created chantries and the like? Or if someone wants to purchase a node or sanctum? I'm sure there's obviously an XP cost associated, being that they're all background stats, but other than that..
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 11:17:18 PM)
<--- Is naturally pyschic. Or psychotic, never could keep those two seperate
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:23:07 PM)
Book of Chantries, that covers horizon realms and all that good stuff, is waaaay out of date.
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 11:23:45 PM)
The more updated version of the spirit realms is in the Infinate Tapestry book
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:24:21 PM)
Yea? Does that also cover detailed Chantry building and such? Like, guardians, node linking, amount of nodes needed to support defense systems, etc?
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 11:24:41 PM)
No
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:24:47 PM)
Just the horizons?
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 11:25:11 PM)
It's just a description of the vulgate, upper and lower umbral realms
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 11:25:37 PM)
Sharm Realms, horizon realms and the like
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:26:09 PM)
-nods- I'll read that then, as a dream speaker, I prolly should re-read all the newest information on those things. Does it include the dream realm? The astral that most use mind 4 astral projection to enter?
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 11:26:32 PM)
I believe so, yes
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:26:56 PM)
Right on. I've been curious how that worked ever since I read that dreamspeakers were the only ones that can enter it physicly with spirit 3.
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 11:29:04 PM)
There's a merit in the Blood Treachery book that lets you do that as well I think
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:29:17 PM)
Really? That's interesting. Never seen that either.
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:30:35 PM)
So, any hard and fast rules for someone wanting to create a chantry/sanctum or get a node for their characters, SC?
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:34:00 PM)
No nodes yet
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:34:09 PM)
I don't have personal nodes and am going to reserve them for cabals
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:34:20 PM)
when you get together with other pc's, we'll talk about shared sanctums and nodes.
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:35:13 PM)
-nods- Already have 3 gathered, ready to form a cabal, with 2 more that'll likely be joining in. That's why I was asking. I like to prepare ahead of time for large ventures like those.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:36:16 PM)
as for sancta for personal reason? something to discuss. Because of the way I have the setting written, I suggest you read it, it will have been difficult to establish one.
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:37:31 PM)
-nods- I read much of it, though I still owe it a more thurough read while not otherwise distracted.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:38:20 PM)
It's pretty long and pretty involved.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:38:24 PM)
I mean..
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:38:30 PM)
when I finished it, it was like six pages, 3500 words
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:38:35 PM)
but it was unique.
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:39:06 PM)
But with 3 PCs gathered and prepped for a cabal, 2 more likely to join, and others if they choose to (the more the merrier, I say). I'd like to get some info on how best to go about forming chantries, gathering nodes, having a group sanctum when you have the time.
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:41:42 PM)
Though for that, tossing back and forth FPMs would be more than fine with me if that would be more convenient for you.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:41:52 PM)
I warn you
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:41:58 PM)
I'm going on vacation Sunday
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:42:02 PM)
I'll be back next wednesday
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:42:27 PM)
Good deal. I hope you enjoy yourself! Everyone needs a good vacation from time to time. ^_^
Hades. (Oct 8, 2010 11:42:47 PM)
Yay vacations
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:43:31 PM)
I need that
Omen OOC (Oct 8, 2010 11:46:31 PM)
But yea, if you're the one handling things like PC chantries, sanctums, nodes, and cabals, an FPM with a little info would be great. I've seen some others talking about forming a chantry as well, but it seems very up-tight in an order of hermes fashion and not at all befitting of the cabal my PC and his friends are forming.
snowcrane (Oct 8, 2010 11:51:06 PM)
*nods* I'm all for multiple chantries
