*looks around all odd like* um... it's ok if I have my Icon on it here right?

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:10:15 PM)
I dont have a problem with it.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:10:19 PM)
werewolves are changelings too.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:10:23 PM)
ooc room, not a problem

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:10:26 PM)
they just get themselves all bothered about one form.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:10:27 PM)
;)

Hototo Hanahni (Aug 27, 2010 10:11:30 PM)
well I want to make a werebear named Yogi... but that is cuz I am crazy...

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:11:30 PM)
So Question, What kind of setting can we expect for the changling venue?

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:12:46 PM)
...WS, you get a free hug.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:13:08 PM)
Ohh I like hugs, especially free ones

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:13:17 PM)
the setting question is our favorite

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:13:21 PM)
youw anna handle it, Adv, or shall I?

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:13:37 PM)
go for it, I'll add my 2 cents

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:14:05 PM)
alright. this is a broad overview, we'll be filling in details as we approach the time and we don't want to give away everything yet.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:16:49 PM)
Ok *Gets a bean bag chair to listen and flop on it*

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:17:52 PM)
But leading up to hurricaine Katrina, New Orleans was home to some of the oldest, most settled, and noble freeholds in the country. Seelie and Unseelie alike held power and even held a ceremonial change of power with the seasons, as used to be traditional in the long ago never never. The city was unique because of its wrought iron construction in many places, down tot he very foundations - existing there was a triumph over banality and a daily war with it.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:18:36 PM)
and then came the hurricane. The sheer force of it levelled the old freehold and power structure. many fae simply died outright in the carnage of the storm, and the banality of the recovery period after it saw glamour all but vanish from the streets for a time amid the bunglings of FEMA and the national guard.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:21:30 PM)
then came the war. a charismatic revolutionary named Roy duFontain challenged the crumbling power structures of the remaining noble courts in a commoner's revolt styled on revolutionary movements throughout history. a brutal knuckles and pipes street fighter, he crashed his way through the local politics and re-established the old Lux freehold, creating one of the strangest elements in all the world - a commoner city. the nobles did try to stage an invasion from various baronies of the Willow Kingdom, but they were driven out so soundly that everyone is afraid to try again. now, things hav esettled out uneasily, and everyone's wondering just which way the balance of power will go next. but the call keeps coming out. "Come and see. The party's just begun."

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:21:43 PM)
/overdramatic ramble!

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:23:38 PM)
I hope that gave some broad info. any questions, or shall adv add his commentary?

*Claps* I am still learning Changeling. I have the system down but the concept of the game still eludes me. How do you feel about helping out us Newbs

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:25:21 PM)
Is this where all the sparkles are about to come from

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:25:44 PM)
argh!

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:25:53 PM)
you just missed my epic retelling of the hsitory leading up to the game, RB.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:25:56 PM)
I'm sorry

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:26:10 PM)
Its awesome too

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:26:25 PM)
We're all for helping out new players to Changeling, with the exception that we're not allowing IC Chrysalis

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:26:50 PM)
I can respect that thought

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:26:51 PM)
Indeed. I first started changeling with a standard character, and it's an easy enough game to get into the spirit of.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:27:01 PM)
you just throw yourself at it, make friends, and get playing.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:27:07 PM)
Your PC can certainly be newly Sained and fresh, however

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:27:15 PM)
Cool

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:27:23 PM)
Heck, my first scene I was a part of was saving some college kids from roving tanuki spirits!

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:27:23 PM)
very cool

Hototo Hanahni (Aug 27, 2010 10:27:34 PM)
*raises hand* um.. I have a question... to tell the truth I have not played fae yet.. and my friends do and love it a lot... so the Question is... how does it vary from the other Wod games?

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:27:49 PM)
apart from the fact that it's the best wod game ever?

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:27:51 PM)
;)

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:27:52 PM)
Its really awesome Hototo.

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:27:57 PM)
Is there restrictions on Kith? *asks after Hot-toto*

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:28:09 PM)
Adv, you handle the WoD question

Hototo Hanahni (Aug 27, 2010 10:28:27 PM)
No... best WOD game ever is Mummy... but no one playes it...

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:28:33 PM)
There are some restrictions on kiths, but not as many as you might think.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:28:59 PM)
any core kith is allowed. sidhe will be allowed at start, but only at a rate of 1 per 15 players of the game. we may relax or tighten that as we see fit later.

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:28:59 PM)
are they posted on the magic word place?

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:29:06 PM)
One of the most basic differences between Changeling and the other WoD games is that apart from Changeling, every game has a tangible enemy. Werewolves have the Wyrm, Vampires have the other sects, etc. For Changelings the real enemy is Banality, which is a force of nature

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:29:23 PM)
kinain are highly welcome, though we'd prefer a few fae before kinain show up.

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:29:57 PM)
Banality is everyone and everything... and its winning.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:30:20 PM)
Not that there's no rivalry between factions and all that jazz, but the overall issue is that every day it becomes harder for the Fae to even exist

Hototo Hanahni (Aug 27, 2010 10:30:21 PM)
Banality being like dox to them right?

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:30:25 PM)
any restrictions on Chimerical weapons/pets/sextoys?

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:30:46 PM)
It's similar to Paradox, yeah

Hototo Hanahni (Aug 27, 2010 10:30:51 PM)
*looks to Rev* sextoys?

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:31:06 PM)
we don't have all the systems and such worked out yet. we're really focusing on concepts tonight, if that's ok.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:31:10 PM)
concepts, setting, broad ideas.

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:31:12 PM)
dude... if you've read the changling books you would understand. *nods*

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:31:23 PM)
or if you played on /other chats/

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:31:24 PM)
"spank me mister kitty, I've been a bad nocker."

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:31:46 PM)
the creation rules are up, but they're not 100% done. still need to add some restricted/banned and update some things for 3rd edition

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:31:51 PM)
Hell the Pooka book has a whole section on deviant sex acts. as does the eshu and the satyr.

Hototo Hanahni (Aug 27, 2010 10:31:59 PM)
lol... I live for dirty thoughts... so.

Hototo Hanahni (Aug 27, 2010 10:33:04 PM)
ok... so I guess the next thing to ask is... what books are being used.. and are there..*thinks of what fae call there tribes* books?

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:33:21 PM)
kithbooks

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:33:31 PM)
we're allowing for players: core, player's guide, and relevant kithbook.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:33:41 PM)
Yeah there are Kithbooks Hototo for all but the sidhe they have a book that discusses them. If I remember correctly

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:33:44 PM)
with house lists and rules, but we're trying to keep our banned and restricted lists small.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:33:47 PM)
a word on restricted!

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:33:53 PM)
most people think restricted means "banned lite."

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:33:56 PM)
this is not in the least bit true.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:34:05 PM)
we don't even need a two page explanation for why you have it.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:34:07 PM)
Sidhe have the nobles book, and the house books

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:34:27 PM)
We just want some solid reasoning on why you want the merit or trait in question.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:34:43 PM)
I like your thinking Allegory

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:34:58 PM)
Restricted also means, once we get so much of something, it's capped

Hototo Hanahni (Aug 27, 2010 10:35:19 PM)
*thinks 'why you have that merit... cuz it makes me kinnky little sextoy... ok then' *

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:35:23 PM)
yeah. you can only have so many huge size trolls before everyone starts getting tired of dangling hazards.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:35:25 PM)
Maybe instead of saying Restricted for that, use the word Limited.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:35:44 PM)
...I did not mean to say that outloud I was trying to pm that to Adv.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:36:29 PM)
Stop watching Reign the Conqueror

Hototo Hanahni (Aug 27, 2010 10:36:46 PM)
oh... so huge size... do you see it as tall and fat? or just tall? or just fat? *thinks not that I plan to have it.. just like to ask.*

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:37:01 PM)
it can mean a lot of different things.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:37:04 PM)
Its cool. so I have to ask. Are you allowing transfers from other sites?

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:37:09 PM)
We are not.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:37:32 PM)
This may be a dangerous confession of weakness, but this is my first time HSTing a changeling game. I hav ebeen an HST before, but the game flopped.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:37:44 PM)
I completely understand

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:37:53 PM)
Sweet!

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:37:54 PM)
So I'm keeping things as simple and direct as I can. I want new stories and simple ideas.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:38:03 PM)
That sounds great.

Hototo Hanahni (Aug 27, 2010 10:38:14 PM)
sounds good.

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:38:14 PM)
Then to ask the question on everyone's mind. at least both of mine... What are your favorite kiths and why?

Hototo Hanahni (Aug 27, 2010 10:38:53 PM)
Nockers... cuz they remind me of...... *thinks* no wait I should not say that.,...

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:38:55 PM)
Pooka because deep down I'm a furfag at heart. I got into changeling indirectly via the furry fandom at a convention one year, and I adore it. myf irst character was a pooka, and I enjoy playing him and his ridiculous antics.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:39:11 PM)
Yay pooka!

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:39:32 PM)
Trolls because I love the visual aesthetic (blue and muscles? oh yeah), and the many many ways they interpret keeping their word. there's something of the Knight about them, and I adore the kith.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:39:48 PM)
hell, to be honest? I love all kiths.

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:39:52 PM)
*nods* Good answers.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:39:52 PM)
When it comes to playing, I'm a Troll lover. I enjoy the devotion to one particular code and the struggle to stick to it

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:39:53 PM)
each one has so much that's entertaining.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:40:55 PM)
another thing, a word on canon.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:41:21 PM)
Canon is a nice thing, and we're going to be using canon to help shape our story. However, every single WoD game has a proviso that all provided setting material is a -suggestion-.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:41:43 PM)
Canon can and will be modified, discarded, and twisted into beautiful origami at our discretion. We will always make such departures perfectly clear.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:42:06 PM)
however, you -do not- know the whole world of darkness. the idea behind the WoD is that it is an unknown place, dangerous and mysterious. you do not know what you think you know.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:42:34 PM)
To be clear, that's for setting and theme flavor. Core system rules will be the same aside from house rule tweaks

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:42:45 PM)
indeed.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:43:08 PM)
for example, weapons will be fixed at diff 6, and we'll be using the Revised edition initiative instead of 2nd edition.

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:43:41 PM)
oooh thats a good point. How would both of you react if a player did something and their arguement was "but this page on this book says This thing" I get that Cannon isn't Law, but lets play make beleive and say that we encountered a problem with.... i dunno quicksilver or something.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:44:00 PM)
quicksilver is a mechanical thing, governed by dice.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:44:05 PM)
so you can expect it to work as described.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:44:14 PM)
Same with combat maneuvers?

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:44:26 PM)
by and large. we will post any exceptions to the rules.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:44:32 PM)
and it will always be made clear.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:44:44 PM)
Indeed, all house rules will be clearly marked on the forums

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:44:51 PM)
if we have to make a spot ruling we will, of course.

Hototo Hanahni (Aug 27, 2010 10:45:28 PM)
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 76.169.58.106)

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:45:33 PM)
on the other hand, don't imagine that the other WoD books describe the only supernaturals around.

Hototo Hanahni (Aug 27, 2010 10:45:35 PM)
(This user has entered NOSPBF) (IP = 76.169.58.106)

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:45:38 PM)
Speaking of spot rulings. Once one is made, it will be discussed further after whatever scene it occurs in and possibly added to the list of house rules

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:46:08 PM)
You guys are keepers. ST's after my own heart

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:46:43 PM)
we do our best.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:47:01 PM)
Why thank ya :)

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:47:11 PM)
Will you be doing sanctionings prior to launch day?

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:47:35 PM)
I imagine that we will. we want launch day (which isn't set yet) to be a fun event

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:47:52 PM)
and we're goign to be providing plenty of material to keep people interested leading up to it.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:48:24 PM)
Indeed. Once all the creation rules are fleshed out and we have changeling sheet support in the DB, we'll start taking PCs

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:48:39 PM)
Well, you can know for sure I will be making a pc, not sure which Kith yet but I am there.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:48:59 PM)
Glad to have ya

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:49:59 PM)
I will also be playing. You guys (or gals) have passed my test.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:50:44 PM)
Excellent

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:51:47 PM)
additionally, and I can say this without "advertising" but just because I'm a - fond of the game in question, and b - confident enough in my own game to know I'm not losing players.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:52:16 PM)
but if you're new to changeling, you can NOT go wrong hopping over to RoD and getting involved in JamieL's game. she's a fabulous ST with an extraordinary capacity for stories.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:52:27 PM)
her game directly inspired me to make this one.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:52:35 PM)
I will keep that in mind.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:53:33 PM)
Agreed, I followed that venue across two seperate digi's

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:54:59 PM)
do you play on other sites with characters we may or may not have heard of?

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:55:15 PM)
I'm keeping my identities over on RoD (yes, I play there) secret.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:55:29 PM)
I don't want anyone feeling they can't come play here because of personal baggage from other places.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:55:42 PM)
Likewise, though I'm sure folks who play over there will quickly figure mine out

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:55:45 PM)
I'm not "the guy who played...", I'm just Allegory.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:56:03 PM)
I don't even have the same forum name here. I want folk to know their ST is just their ST, not someone else.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:56:34 PM)
I, on the other hand, am just too lazy to keep coming up with new handles

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:56:45 PM)
lol

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:56:45 PM)
We wuv you, Advy.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:57:39 PM)
the theme song I had in mind for this game is Bon Jovi's "It's My Life." it really is going to be that way - your stories are going to matter, as much as we can make them.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 10:57:49 PM)
make choices, seize the dreaming.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 10:58:18 PM)
So what do you look for in a PC that will be coming to your venue?

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 10:58:29 PM)
One of the things we want to do differently than past venues is allow for player choice to help shape the overall game

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:01:47 PM)
Personally, I don't favor any one concept over another. I look for fleshed out characters with goals and motivations

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:03:09 PM)
here's a few questions I ask every player, just to give you an idea.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:03:35 PM)
1 - what is it about this character that makes you get up each day and go "yes, I get to play -charname- today!" ?

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:03:44 PM)
would you rather see a good spread on a sheet (alot of 1s and 2s) or would you rather see a focused character (a couple 3s and 4s) or a mix there of?

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:03:52 PM)
2 - what are your out of character goals for the character that you want to possibly reach?

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:04:01 PM)
3 - what are the character's goals that they deisre?

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:04:07 PM)
4 - do you like firefly?

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:04:24 PM)
lol

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:04:30 PM)
5 - knowing I will NOT give it to you, what's the most broken piece of cheesy beardiness you could see giving the character? I promise not to judge (aloud).

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:04:55 PM)
As far as dots go, Rev. Whichever spread fits the concept best. If you're going say, grizzled troll war veteran, I could see a more focused point spread with 3s and 4s

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:05:41 PM)
those questions help a bit?

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:06:12 PM)
Yep

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:06:16 PM)
that does.. thank you

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:06:22 PM)
The Important thing to remember with Changeling PCs is that they're half human, and that goes a long way toward determining stats

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:06:43 PM)
How will you handle any confilcts or differences of opinions between players and storytellers?

Hototo Hanahni (Aug 27, 2010 11:07:51 PM)
(This user has moved to OOC Room) (IP = 76.169.58.106)

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:09:41 PM)
That's always a tough question to answer, considering different methods are needed for different folks. All in all, you gotta stay fair and impartial in order to reach compromise

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:10:27 PM)
The short version fo the answer is that if there's a situation in-scene and the ST makes a ruling, please respect it.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:10:56 PM)
However, there will be a thread to request a review of confusing or questionable decisions, and we will treat each one politely.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:11:11 PM)
We want to work with you and make sure the game is fair, of course.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:12:03 PM)
cool. When I voice my opinion or whathave you. I am generally very polite about it. But even being so. I have had extremely rude or stubborn st's in the past which is why I ask. Will you always back the ST regardless or will you hear out players?

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:12:56 PM)
Like, Allegory said. In scene, ST ruling stands so things can move along for the others involved. Outside of that, the players always have a voice

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:13:36 PM)
*nods* I can respect that

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:13:38 PM)
basically, we're going to treat it as a conversation. if we hav eto make a snap decision, please let that go, and we'll review it later. on the other hand, after the event we will make time to sit down and have either a thread talk or even a private-room discussion abou tthe matter.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:13:48 PM)
we will always be willing to talk.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:14:15 PM)
but by the same token, we don't respond well to confrontation for confrontation's sake.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:14:59 PM)
there are certain people who seem to want to make an argument out of everything, and we have much better things to do than let people quote mine for drama wars.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:15:05 PM)
Im not usually confrontational. Being an ST myself and having been a HST I respect your position. If you have a path for concerns, questions and complaints. I will follow it.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:15:20 PM)
indeed. both of us are fairly easygoing in the final equation.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:16:39 PM)
oh, a word on concepts.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:17:05 PM)
Deep inside, everyone wants to play the solitary badass, the lone wolf, the deep and apart individual who Can't Play By the Rules, and such.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:17:16 PM)
those concepts aren't welcome in this game.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:17:35 PM)
now, that isn't to say everyone has to be friendly and get along. Redcaps for example blow that out of the water, and trolls are famous for their social reserve.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:18:00 PM)
I dont like the lone wolf concept. Its fine for TT but doesnt work in Chat. How do you feel about combat geared pcs

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:18:04 PM)
but don't submit a specifically anti-social concept to me, that seems designed around holding yourself out of the game. by all means play a character who struggles with social matters, but find a way to integrate them into the game.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:18:14 PM)
anti-social concepts will be summarily rejected.

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:18:47 PM)
what if it fits the general background of their kith? Such as Sluagh.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:19:10 PM)
Combat PCs absolutely have their place, as much as any other concept. When looking at that sort of concept, my concern is, is there anything else to the character?

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:19:24 PM)
Always, every warrior has a story to tell

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:19:28 PM)
I mean I get not being a lone wolf, but what gets me is the Sluagh social monkey.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:19:41 PM)
They dont get to be a veteran soldier without soemthing driving them

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:19:44 PM)
the thing is, I'm not asking you to make a gala party organizer out of every character.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:19:56 PM)
feel free to have certain social limitations and a sense of aloofness.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:20:01 PM)
Exactly. So long as there is more than just dots there, I'm not complaining

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:20:07 PM)
Cool

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:20:15 PM)
Sluagh have the tendency to be 'apart' like redcaps do, just in different ways.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:20:24 PM)
hell, every single kith has something to them that makes them socially deviant in certain ways.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:20:33 PM)
My Fae PC elsewhere happens to be combat oriented ;)

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:20:39 PM)
just don't use it as an excuse to create arguments among characters and players.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:20:43 PM)
ever.

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:20:45 PM)
*nods* Ok. Just making sure, that if I play a shy sluagh its not going to be kicked out for being too anti social ya know.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:20:47 PM)
I also do not tolerate stat-bullying.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:20:57 PM)
Staty Bullying?

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:21:10 PM)
it';s more common in Werewolf, so I'll use that as an example.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:21:26 PM)
ahroun are an odd character type. they have an expectation of having high combat dots, given their auspice role.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:21:30 PM)
but they also have the highest rage.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:22:06 PM)
so a - they're usually pound for pound stronger than other character types, and b - they have an ic excuse to be confrontational and say "but I'm just playing in character..." and start arguments to bully other players into obeying them, because they WILL win a fight.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:22:33 PM)
it's harder for that to happen without Rage as a motivating mechanic, but redcaps have a similar situation with their in-canon surliness

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:22:52 PM)
so a combat-oriented redcap could bully people and disrupt rp, and say it's "just in character."

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:22:59 PM)
that's the sort of thing that won't be tolerated.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:23:29 PM)
A note on Redcaps. If you're not scary enough to not have to fight, you're doing it wrong

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:23:30 PM)
and their cheeseybeard BBB

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:24:08 PM)
do you kinda get the spirit of what I mean?

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:24:15 PM)
Yes I do

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:24:30 PM)
find creative ways to reinterpret the kiths.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:24:44 PM)
hell, I played a high-powered businessman troll named Roland in one private game.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:24:54 PM)
app 5, and his version of "keeping a code" was contract law.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:25:21 PM)
hell, might just resurrect him and bring him into this game. I miss Ro. >.>

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:27:57 PM)
so my main thing is, feel free to come up with nifty ideas that define your characters in new ways about the kiths. There's a fun Sluagh character on RoD, named Vinny Koslov. bit of a perv, the usual sluagh slob...but he's cheerful. he's always smiling, invites my character over for movie nights, and isn't an emo sluagh or anything like that. he's a neat take on an existing concept.

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:28:54 PM)
*nods* the one I was thinking was a sluagh hopeless romantic who's day job is a goth poetry artist. so he's quiet and shy but normally when he talks it is in a letter of prose to a pretty girl.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:29:41 PM)
That's a NO Sluagh right there

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:30:27 PM)
oh...

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:30:32 PM)
new orleans

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:30:35 PM)
not No as in NO don't.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:30:42 PM)
What he said

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:30:45 PM)
I think it would be wicked fun.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:30:46 PM)
lol

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:30:54 PM)
kind of an unfortunate set of initials, that.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:31:12 PM)
Yeah, we need to name the County and stop using the state

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:31:15 PM)
oOOOh you mean that sluagh would fit in a new orleans setting.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:31:42 PM)
Totally, Rev. Such an artsy town, that concept would fit in nicely

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:31:45 PM)
not "No fuck you its a bad idea we hate you and you should go put on some Dashboard confessional and cut yourself"

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:32:04 PM)
sweet! I have an idea a pic and a plan already *evil grin*

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:32:29 PM)
Cool. Ill work up a concept and I look foward to seeing the venue launch.

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:33:11 PM)
and as far as cybers go... do you understand and realize that some times adults have sex, even some times excessively or is this the world of abstenance?

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:33:13 PM)
If you guys see me on and want to chat about concepts and such, feel free to pm. Generally if I'm sitting around in ooc I'm just doing venue write ups

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:34:14 PM)
We have no issue with cyber so long as both(or more)parties are consenting

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:34:39 PM)
Cool. Im thinkin Eshu I have a general idea but Im going to read the book and put something on paper.

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:34:48 PM)
Awesome!

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:35:15 PM)
Granted, if you're constantly in locked rooms and not participating in the game, we're going to poke you about it

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:35:16 PM)
I'm not saying I am a cyberbunny or anything. But my Eshu on another chat has had some explorations and is currently almost married to two pooka.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:37:13 PM)
we have a specific rule on sex.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:37:31 PM)
it's a wonderful thing, and we don't care if people do it.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:37:50 PM)
To me the game comes first. I'd rather be in a productive in a scene than cybering. But if nothing is goin on...well I follow the RP.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:37:55 PM)
however, if either party says no at all, oocly, it stops. I don't care if you're a satyr with a seduction pool twenty miles long, the powers or roll autofails if someone says no.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:38:14 PM)
forcing the issue leads to a kicking, a desanc, and paperwork for a site ban.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:38:36 PM)
Certainly nothing wrong with that approach, Wolf

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:39:00 PM)
however, we're a black dog game. black dog scenes will be clearly announced, with no penalties for non participations, and won't be the majority of the scenes, but they will show up. sex is part of life, and DEFINITELY part of the faerie.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:39:06 PM)
so if the rp leads, the rp leads.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:39:21 PM)
My first two STing jobs were Wraith and Wyrm. Black dog is second nature for me

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:40:34 PM)
ok cool

RevBadger OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:41:15 PM)
I am totally fine with that. I don't force it at all, and I am cool with the power of no.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:41:37 PM)
I mean, I'll be honest, I've played characters that have sex. t's just a thing.

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:41:56 PM)
just don't expect us to go out of our way to leverage people into SLs if they're too busy elsehwere. hah.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:42:11 PM)
haha right

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:48:38 PM)
well, I guess that about wraps up tonight then. I hope we've piqued peoples' interest and that you'll encourage others to stop by and ask about the game.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:50:18 PM)
We'll be rolling out more info on the forum bit by bit

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:51:05 PM)
Thanks for the chat. I am interested and as soon as you are ready I will have a pc for you.

Adversarius. (Aug 27, 2010 11:52:19 PM)
I'm psyched to get everything wrapped up and see some sheets :)

Allegory (Aug 27, 2010 11:53:40 PM)
I'm looking forward to it as well. I have a lot of faith that this is going to be one of the best venues in SI.

Wolfsong OOC (Aug 27, 2010 11:56:25 PM)
Ill do my best to help you be that way :D
