Terra give me strength Tue 15 Jul 2014 at 17:03 | Re: Plot Related OOCWell i am strongeat in ice, but my character also uses Earth, lava on super rare occasions and can do a little healing. I havent been beat with the "stick of doing too much shit" yet...so i would say within reason. But i am defitely not a GM. Just saying my opinion is all.

GM, 260 posts My word is law. But I'm a cool guy :3 Wed 16 Jul 2014 at 15:25 | Re: Plot Related OOCHey! Sorry for the late responce, we had a surprise 2nd group project, but we're presenting today, and then I have a paper to write, but after that I'll be done with school for a good two months and I'll be able to post much more frequently. if I crack down I might be able to even finish it all early and post for everyone tonight.
But anyways to answer the magic question.
Yes and no.
To clarify, most mages pick a specialty. For example, the mage you're fighting specializes in ice and the mage Alice's group is fighting specializes in Fire. But, as Corthian and Alice pointed out, that doesn't necessarily mean they can't do other magic. A mage can master one element in and out AND still have room to dabble in other forms. It all really depends on the individual mage, how much training they've had, how naturally magic comes to them, etc. It works kinda like how you'd distribute skill points in a video game or something to that effect.
I would continue this a bit, but I'm running late and need to eat breakfast before my next class. Feel free to leave more questions for me to answer when I get back~ and I'll try and crack down so i can post tonight, if not have a great day and expect posts tomorrow!

player, 5 posts I'm a real man! Terra give me strength Sun 20 Jul 2014 at 15:48 | Re: Plot Related OOCSo...I'm new to this game still...but I was wondering if I am supposed to wait till every one else posts first in my thread that I just entered? Or since the GM posted does that mean we can don't have to wait for the others till I can post once more? Just curious.

*shrug*
As long as you don't have a response every two posts all the time I don't think anyone will mind.

To answer some questions,
@Evarri, The point should be coming up soonish, I'm kinda slowing it down just because I want everyone to transition into the night all at once, but at the same time I don't want to rush people into it. If I can't get everyone where I want by lets say, next week at the latest, I'll just do the time shift anyway.
@Corthian, Yeah you're good, for most threads it kinda works like, players post-->GM post-->players post, etc. Unless the payers are having a conversation or something that doesn't really require too much GM interaction.
But anyways I'm running late, see you all later tonight with new posts, have a great day until then

You described teeth as long as a man's forearm, but that doesn't necessarily tell me how large their heads and bodies are. I just want to know so that I can make sure to write my interactions with them properly in the future.

But I'm a cool guy :3 Wed 23 Jul 2014 at 18:39 | Re: Plot Related OOCI was kind of struggling with size in my head, but I imagined these things traveling in schools (making them even more terrifying I might add) so they would vary in size a bit from young to old. Lets say the smaller ones could fit a grown man's arm down its throat, but an older one could fit the whole man in its mouth.
I'll get a better description up hopefully this weekend, I'm going to try and set aside a day solely to so nothing but write lore for the game.

I'll get some posts up tonight, and hopefully the first couple of lore entries I've been working on. I'll be a bit busy tomorrow, working on some cosplay for a local convention in August, but I'll be able to get on that night as well probably, assuming nothing comes up.

I mean, Shadow's (slightly) injured, Zebediah's a mountain, and I might have indirectly killed Choryn.

Because as far as I can tell Choryn would not yet be aware of the third combatant's presence yet... and it would be hilarious if Lavender managed to subdue Custoh before anyone else.
