Speaking to us mentally at any time or place? I love it.

Antherisax does not. Definitely gonna make for extra grumping.

Like many GM's, I look forward to the sessions where my players have to describe the scene more then I do. At those points in the game I can just sit back and watch. I can imagine it now...


Edit: I'm joking of course. I'm not 100% sure what ur plotting, but I look forward to reading it. I'm already prepping the intro scene for you guys, and I'm letting the rails go pretty much from the start.

For words, Siurinax is using:
Luck (3 gift points) - mostly making stuff happen coincidentally and manipulating rolls
Time (2 gift point) - Glimpses of future, and prophesy things into happening
Dragon (1 gift point) - Whispers of the Wyrm

Flying will not be in his bailiwick for a long while, likely.  However, he will still be a merchant in his infiltration guise, and so could also travel relatively openly between places.

Would there be a pre-existing connection between our characters' second skins?

Tanith de Severine is a merchant noble with a purchased title (she has no land, but she has the social clout of a baroness, the right to evade Belrand's sumptuary laws, gets invited to noble parties, stuff like that). She's also the leader and bank for the Western Consortium, which is a club for the great merchants of Belrand (including a few fellow noblesse de robe, but mostly commoner factors who she finances and ship owners who insure with her - because ship owners who don't insure with the Consortium tend to suffer accidents, which of course have nothing to do with her). She's profited immensely from the recent surge in debt prices, as a lot of the Grand Duchess' money was used to buy up notes that she previously held. In short, she's the big bad merchant of the kingdom. (Though for a big bad merchant princess, she's pretty quiet about it. Unless you seek her out, you're doing business with her factors and agents, not her.)

Or in other words: This is what Inexhaustible Hoard looks like, bitches. XD

Ugh, just deleted the old IC threads. That hurt, but it was gonna get crowded the moment the current IC threads starting arriving.

I have the Advancement section up, and will have the explanation of how Dragon's perceive Words/Gifts/Miracles tomorrow.

I probably won't have the Cultivation section done until we start the IC thread, since I want it to be perfect for when you guys reach level 2 and gain access to it.

Also Scene 0 will be posted sometime before Monday. Again it's just meant to give the Act an overarching plot, and doesn't act as railroads for the narrative's direction.

If I may suggest, link to a message in another game has another Godbound GM's rule for "soft scenes," which allows for a certain amount of temporal flexibility if negotiations run overlong and I absolutely have to be there when a fight breaks out.

It may work better than flashbacking sometimes.

So what I can infer from this is that these Players are actually involved in two scenes at the same time? Like they are in this soft rp scene while another scene is happening?

Yeah. The actual timing of the soft scene is flexible, to avoid mucking up things if stuff is happening in the hard scene.

Yeah I'm fine with that as long as a Player wants to do that. Flashbacks are actually more functional like the ones in Blades in the Dark, so most players will use them like they are using Influence mostly, while also using them to butt into Scenes that they may be interested in joining mid-sequence.

Holy shit it took me like 30 mins to remember how to give people access to their character sheet. All players should now have access to update their CS in their details. If you have access your CS sheet has been approved (which should be everyone right now).

Alright, my sheets done. Also added some pictures to my cast bio, so people can get an idea of my looks as dragon and elf.

Everyone please welcome the final member of our playgroup, Yunlong. This is the cast we'll be moving forward with. If you have any questions Yun, please feel free to ask me or anyone in the group. Reading the OOC will catch you up to speed on the intentions for the group at the start of play. You will all already be at least acquaintances at the start of the game.

welcome to the team, Yun.

Welcome to the game!

Welcome.

Welcome aboard!

Hi everyone! I'm glad to join the group. I've been catching up on the OOC posts and it sounds very interesting.

I do have a question. I noticed that in the character descriptions there are some very nice pictures of characters. How did you get those pictures in the character profiles?

The code is as follows:

<img src="picture url">

For example, <img src="https://tinyurl.com/pvjp67ph"> leads to...

Ahhhhh. Thank you! So simple!!!

Finally, I found the format in the character creation section, but I don't know where to   post my character sheet.

Thanks for your help.

up in the left corner menu, there's an option called character details. in there you'll be able to post your sheet, if the GM has opened it for you.

As for photos, a nifty thing you can do is add align="right" into the code after the link but before the >. That moves the picture to the right side of the character description screen, while any text is on the left.

Yup. Went into character details but no character sheet yet. Thanks for the photo alignment tip.  I'll work on that later.

 Right now, I have to catch up on the reading material and start my character building.

Again, thanks for the help everyone.

PM me your CS sheet if it is ready, and I will give you access to post it in your Character Details. I want to check for formatting.

Ooh, a four worder. That should be interesting.

Nah, I think that's just the ones they are interested in at the start. Especially since Apotheosis doesn't exist in this game.

Updated how Words/Gifts/Miracles work in the setting. If you have any questions how they work narratively that's what I wanted to expound upon. How they work mechanically is basically the same as the Core Rulebook, except for the extra addition to what your character has to do for Miracles, and the fact that a squirrel that ate more nuts than usual can also probably use Gifts.
