Hathra Bonecrown:
As a change of subject, like share details of that game?
There are actually two solo games Anne (my long time roommate) and I are involved with. One is an infernal game, I'm STing. The other is a gold faction solar centric game, that Anne is STing. My game is "Grand Theft Yeddim" style, with another note I came up with, which is that the majority of the game will take place in the Underworld. The "group" which consists of two of Anne's characters, and three STPCs of my own. They are making heists eventually, but right now doing snatch a grabs on the Isle. They have a mentor from Iselsi, whose a Water Aspect named Kadecy. Kadecy in turn has mentor, who through an STPC's Bestowal of Accursed Fortune, received the Sifu of said mentor, making a full total of three degrees of mentors. Kadecy being an essence 6 Iselsi who defrauded Ragara, and got away with it. Kadecy's mentor, Emerald Sire, and Emerald Sire's Sifu, the Green Lady (heavily modified). The two sidereals, Emerald Sire and Green Lady, have a faction developing even more focused on solaroids, and anti-Yu Shan. They want ANY of the solaroids to be given a place, feeling those in Yozi and Neverborn essence, can fight (lifelong) against their "masters" and help reshape the worlds, all of them. This plotline will be stagnant if Anne chooses not toi explore it, or if the game dies, but I have it there if this game goes from short term to long term. The game is all about robbery and piracy. The "group" is mostly on the Blessed Isle for now, but has contact witha Sentient Abyssal manse with Shadowland. I forget the specifics, and really repurposed them anyway, but there is canonical "off limits" area in a book about the Blessed Isle or Stygia that talks about being Sealed by the Empress. IIRC it's near the Scarlet Prefecture, but even if it isn't, I put it there. I'll give more details as I find them, but essentially that off limits area is the ONLY shadowland on the Blessed Isle, having been built by Meticulous Owl in Stygia, and dealing the Fakuf.
The "group" just hit a Ragara bank, and had to flee, because the manse was set to explode, but aborted by First among Equals, who currently has the hearthstone. The idea is that they'll eventually go back, but that hitting it all at once, was an optiom, even if a very difficult one to survive. They at least got some artifacts from the dragonblooded downed. One dragon blooded had useful artifacts that aren't jade only panoply. Mostly wiki and homebrew stuff.
The other game, which I'm playing tonight, is around Whitewall. Anne has a better record than I for long term games. She has three VERY long running games, one of which is still going, and another of which was a 7th to 48th level D&D game. The game tonight has four of my characters, a Zenith, Journeys, Night, and Eclipse; that are a brotherhood with her STPC the Twilight. The Journeys has established a factional base in the North, and through my boldness and Cell's (my Joruneys) tact, has Ayesha as a Mentor. Because I so carefully and respectfully included and played out how Cell respected and just short of pined for tutelage from Ayesha, Anne is playing Ayesha like Mentor I gainedf through roleplaying. Er...maybe Mentor is a strong word. Ally I guess. In short, Ayesha is very amiable to working with and supporting Cell rising in the Gold Faction. Because Cell is in the Air Convention, and knows the identities of the Syndics, he's shoein for the Air Chair, but right now is leery to take that, since that will upset another of Cell's deeply respected viziers, Righteous Tsunami. Though Righteous Tsunami is Bronze Faction, Cell isn't like Lupo or Ayesha. In fact he believes as Righteous Tsunami does like the opposite side of the coin. My Zenith, Cros Cros, is making campaign (hasn't started) to stop Bull of the North, due to the Dawn's disruption the cities. So circling back to the Air chair, Cell isn't solars=good or even useful. He believes solars need some control, like Lupo, and some freedom, like Ayesha, but he also feels letting them ALL restore the deliberative is very bad ina century, to say nothing of the current roster alive. So he wants to (but has yet to) befriend Righteous Tsunami. The Tya fought hard, and even faced freaking Deathlord, and was (what?) five centuries old to gain the water chair, and despite Kejek being "so proud", Righteous Tsunami has zero support from Kejak. Cell wants to honor the Tya by not just taking a chair prior to being at LEAST a century old. Hence why despite having Ayesha's, and more importantly all three Syndics support, he's like "ehhh...not yet....thank you though". My Night is really more about his anima power than night caste charms. He has basically all ride charms, and makes frequent use of Immortal Rider's advantages, while enjoying his anima power. He also has essence lending method. So he's sort of more a quatiary character, that has little of his own goals. There is a point when playing multiple characters, one falls short on depth. My Eclipse is very involved with Shadowlands and a bit with the Wyld. He has discovered what deathknights are, was told about the Lover Clad in a Raiment of Tears...blah blah long name...and so is very leery of doing TOO much to Marama's Fell. He has an Underworld manse he built "beneath" the factional base, and has some dragonblooded prisoners of War that were Incapped and held for two years, serving as guards in the manse. There are two manses actually, one a fortress, and the other the actual supply point. The Eclipse's name is Sting, and he has the firewand martial arts, basically almost every craft charm for solars, and also Implementation of Excellent Objectives. HE also has a Twice striking Lightning Prism and Raise the Puissant SAnctum, along with Imbue amalgam, and amalgams that learned Geomancy from the Night, the Night's name is Thrann. Thrann has Cecelyne Charms through Primordial Principle Emulation.
Right now the latter game is in downtime, and I'm having Cros Cros looking for Tepet Ejava to assist against the Bull of the North. I'll see how that goes though. Cros Cros is taking his brothers, with possibly the exception of Cell. Who may need to remain impartial.
After another 20 in game years, there's going to be a huge martial arts tournament during the Calibration Festival, which I know Cell, and Cros Cros want to attend.
Since it's a solo game and a continuation of another of Anne's games, that I wanted to switch characters in, we (Anne and I) are dictating a "downtime" and then I can sandbox for that many game years.
Anne is playing Fallout 4 right now. Which is why I'm posting here after all. Both her parents are in the hospital. She has bad history with them, but they're still family. In short, she's shaken up. You can scroll Vents threads in Community Chat on all the turmoil, but in short, Anne and I have very painful history, especially with her father.
But yeah, after Anne has taken Nordhagen Beach, she's going to ST the Whitewall game.
