The Umbral Sea (OOC Chat)


The Lindwyrm and the Ginnungagap
"The Gods built their Heavenly Realms beneath the shining canopy of Sol, the First Flame. From their celestial palaces they would be ever watchful of the Ginnungagap, the Pool of Shadows. An Umbral Sea untouched by the holy rays of light, where unspeakable horrors stirred."

Welcome to the second OOC Chat. I wanted to start a clean slate on general discussion of the game, especially since you guys will be interacting with each other IC from the get go. I got this up first since after Archiving everything I figured it would be kinda weird not having any place for you guys to post. I plan to recycle stuff from the other threads for the new Setting/Character Creation threads, as well as the new intro. Those will slowly start popping up over the next few weeks. I will probably delete old threads once the game starts so I'm not looking at so many things on the main page, either completely or condense them down into a single thread.

As I said earlier, your character sheets are fine as they are now, and you only need to ask/choose any changes. The new character creation thread will mostly be for the new fluff for Dragons, so it will only apply to your character's background, not their stats. We will have plenty of time to go over anything that needs to be altered in the fluff, but Nu already seems to have a good idea, and I won't make any changes that will force serious re-writes or adjustments.

You guys can post your questions here or send me a PM.

New Game Intro is up. I have, of course, continued the long tradition of tricking my players into reading my micro-fiction, but I hope it isn't too tedious. I really wanted to showcase the new spin on the setting. How Dragons aren't hated by everyone, and that there is a divide in mortals between those who still believe in the Old Ways (dragon worship) and the New Faith that is trying to expand. Also the fact that the Age of Fire was more a Dragon vs Dragon war rather then Mortals defeating Dragons through plucky means.

More stuff of course will come up in the Setting Material, but I needed to get this made first so I can start advertising the game again.

Character Creation thread has been updated with the new fluff. I will have Cultivation setup before we start the game.

If you have any questions please ask them now so I can change things before I invite the new players.

We can take surnames at any time we choose, I imagine. Obviously no other dragons will recognize us upstarts doing so, but hey, we're dragons, we don' care. XD

Yeah it's sort of like the Pirate Code, it's more like Guidelines than actually binding rules. You guys are breaking so many traditions of the First Age by simply working together that it likely doesn't matter much. You definitely can't get a title until you do something big tho, so don't expect me to apply Ocean Queen or w/e to your character soon lol.

Edit: I will also say, I'm not trying to stifle character creation, but to add interesting Facts for later in the mid-game. If you don't like it I can remove it I guess.

In reply to GM (msg # 5):

As said, it's a Pirate Code so it fits. If anything, Nu is likely to avoid claiming any particular title except to her cultists. She don't really care what other dragons think of her one way or another.
