[QUOTE="SanjMerchant, post: 7062942, member: 6860001"] Holy hell, I've caught up! Interesting. I looked up the system when you mentioned it hear, having not heard of it before (or perhaps just glossing over it when I had); while the free preview document isn't terribly helpful (seeing the stats for an Explorer mean very little if you have no idea what any of these numbers and stuff [I]mean[/I]), but the cypher system struck me as very odd, since it seemed to a system built on "My character can't do today what he could do yesterday." Which seems like, rather than being broad and all-genre encompassing like advertised, would limit you to stories about characters who are either messing about with tech/magic they don't understand or have powers over which they have no control. But I digress. Back on the subject of the campaign, you might rationalize Pemberton's lack of progress in the three year time skip thusly: pulling his funding and such from Risuri and Flinter (Flintian? Flintish?) government entities was not an ideal move: while it did accomplish the goal of punishing his enemies for not playing ball, it did hurt him, as it meant he lost access to all kinds of lucrative government contracts and other opportunities (which must be plentiful in a nation that is deliberately attempting to industrialize). So, while Leon's been screwing around with causality and the rest of the unit has been in hiding until they get a break in the Obscurati case, Pemberton's been licking his financial wounds and regrouping, arriving in Ber a little ahead of the PC's, as described in the canon continuity. Of course, the players might never learn this, but it does help to nail down pesky inconsistencies. (As for why he did something that would hurt him as much as it did his opponent, maybe Pemberton thought the mere threat would be enough, and was surprised when it didn't work. And if he didn't go through with it, gaining the reputation of "noisy but non-threatening" was worse than losing the contacts he could get from the Risuri government.) [/QUOTE]
