Transcendence Now - M&M Game [Resumed!]

Pardon the slow start. Tomorrow will be one of the final games with my RL D&D campaign group, I recently got done playing with them tongiht (I guess last night) and have been preparing a lot for the next game. They're all level 20 so prepping encounters has taken so much work, I'm glad the campaign is ending soon although I'm sure I'll be very nostalgic about it all when its over.

I'll try to respond to everyone who posts tomorrow night, and then Group C will get its start probably Tuesday morning.

Edit-Rybaer, Billy/Will would probably react to you as a 'jock' initially, but upon learning more about your character's background in history, would react much more favorably towards you. He'd still act more uncomfortable around you than Josh, but would definately consider you a fellow intellectually-inclined friend. You'd notice though, after him acquiring his powers, he became less engrossed with history itself and more interested in its effect on modern society.
 

Samnell -> Pardon I didn't make this clear. None of you know any of the other participants in the experiment beyond your group of 5, so Josh wouldn't know about Clausewitz. For the IC post I'll pretend you said a different name that basically means the same thing, but I'd appreciate it if you edit it later :)

That said, with the experiments/daily living, feel free to take liberties everyone ;) I'll reel you back a little if it doesn't fit at all.

In about an hour I get to run a few hundred demons, 3 Hellfire Dragons, a half-dozen inevitables, about 4 high level spellcasters, 4 mid level spellcasters, and some misc. creatures (Storm giant fighters, etc..), wish me luck :D

I would, but I meant the dead German Carl von Clausewitz. Josh was referencing a historical figure who died in 1831, not the PC. :)

http://www.clausewitz.com/CWZHOME/CWZBASE.htm That guy. I assumed he came up in one of Billy's musings about military history.
 

Ahh okay, quite ironic, then :) That works, thanks for the reference. I'm fairly well read but not terribly so, if you make any more references like that I'd appreciate a link in the OOC thread. More than happy to study up if you point me in the right direction.

Gaming is starting early so I'll respond to Lukas/MaKenzie/whoever else posts later tonight.

Not a problem, Sollir. From my latest post, the War Poets were a group of young poets who wrote during World War One. In Josh's Anglophile idom, they're chiefly British with a few Canadians in the mix. Of the three major British poets involved, only one of them survived the war. Wilfred Owens was one of those who died.

http://www.fordham.edu/HALSALL/MOD/1914warpoets.html This lists a few that I don't recall, but then I haven't given these guys a look since high school.

The Sandhurst in Josh's musings is the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, sort of the British West Point. They have a website: http://www.sandhurst.mod.uk/.

I don't know how much you need to study up here. I'm really using the references to dress up Josh's general Britishness. He's spent most of his life in the UK and generally lives there now. He's American by citizenship, but doesn't feel much in the way of loyalty. Aside some touring, he hasn't lived on this side of the Atlantic in about twenty years. It's also a way for me to vent the sorts of associations that come to mind when playing Mark, but which Mark would never make. :)
