[This is the flashback promised in the previous post. If you haven't read that one yet, do that first!] [This was a scene that SP and I played out to get a feel for the campaign, many moons ago. It's an introduction to Pete's sister Kate and her relationship to Pete and others.] Pete was...

New Scene: Back in Mark's room with Fr. Leo, take 2. Altered Scene! Q(Unsure): Different venue? NO. Q(Somewhat Likely): Mark made it out okay? EXCEPTIONAL YES. [Okay. I guess there must be more people here than I thought.] Pete abruptly opened his eyes to the entirely-expected but...

New Scene: In Mark's room, checking him out magically as he sleeps, take 3. Interrupt! Q(Likely): Do I make contact with the illusionist through Mark? NO. [Whuh?] ComplexQ: Okay, so what's the interrupt then? Intolerance/Illusions. [Well, THAT'S certainly suggestive!] As Pete extended...

New Scene: Next morning, bright and early. Interrupt! [Joy.] Remote Event: Mistrust/Exterior factors. Q(Likely): A nightmare? YES. Pete's sleep was troubled by fleeting dreams of being chased through shadowy woods by indistinct predatory forms. Once he thought he caught sight of Morven...

Anyone who's read my previous games knows that when I reach a certain critical mass of creativity, I come up with vast amounts of information about NPCs and their plot hooks. This game is no exception, but I'm going to avoid posting almost all of what I have and let it come out naturally...

New Scene: Back at Pete's place with Ryan to lay plots. Pete fetched Ryan an old t-shirt and pair of jeans of his. "Feel free to take a shower if you want. And did you want something to eat?" "Yes, please. And, Mr. Demarche? THANK YOU! So much." Pete smiled. "My pleasure, Ryan. And...

[And now the game proper begins.] Q(Unlikely): Does Ryan know anything useful? YES. ComplexQ: What does he know? Struggle/Tension. "They used to be just a gang, Mr. Demarche. But a while back - shortly before I stopped running with them - a couple of them got into some really weird sh- I...

Hello out there! Some of you may remember me as the writer of The Shadow Knows! and Life and Light, as well as a couple shorter things. I've long wanted to continue Life and Light in a solo format, but I've been worried about bollixing it up. So this current game is a bit of an experiment...

Alas, the game never got off the ground.

16 - High Trust [Okay, here's the deal. This game came to a screeching halt when SP and I had a bit of a blowup about it. We're still friends and still game together, but our creative differences about this game are such that it seems unlikely we can collaborate on it. I have long wanted to...

Every once in a great while, I come back to this game and look over the logs. I can still, after all this time, fall into character as Alex at the drop of a hat (pardon the pun). And each time, I get something new out of it. This time, it was both amusement and amazement at how quaint the...

Fudge dice are really just d3-2, so any dice-rolling system can handle them that way in a pinch. It's more convenient to roll 4dF, but 4d3-8 does work. I've played Fate a lot, I'm also willing to share my experience. Is there some area in particular you're having trouble with, Aaron? The...

So when are we planning on starting?

I'm willing to use True20 if people are more comfortable with it. I just find FATE much more congenial these days, as so many things other systems would try to quantify can be rolled up elegantly into aspects.

So, Quickleaf - you still alive? :)

So... Is this still happening?

I know I said I was leaving, but darnit! :) Yeah, it's quite safe to say we differ there. Not a list designed to arouse my sympathy. ;) If for Sartre Hell was other people, for me Hell is reading Sartre! :) And for my money, as a philosopher, Russell was a great mathematician. Your...

Good grief. Normally, when I hear about something from people who love it, I start to appreciate it more. I might not come to like it, but at least I start to see what people see in it. But hearing more about Planescape from people who love it just increases my distaste. Okay, yes, I do see...

...And here is the great divide. Here is the lack of contact between my (and I think Pemerton's) point of view and those of others on this thread. My instinctive response is, "Of COURSE good is something objectively desirable! Otherwise it wouldn't BE good! It would just be a matter of...

Sheesh, I leave you guys alone for a week and you turn a moderately interesting thread into yet another endless alignment pit! :P My take: Alignment is virtually useless as a categorization of characters, and uninteresting and overdone as a determinant of cosmology. The game would be better...
