You know what goes here.

So far this is what I'm looking at.

Template: Wizard has a cost of 7 refresh but with it being reset to 3 in your character creation thread this is fine.

High Concept: (Warden on the Front Lines) he works under Morgan and has seen combat in the war against the Red Court vampires.

Trouble: (The Horrors I've Seen) along with being a warden and having fought in this conflict he has seen some shit, some PTSD might bleed thru at times or the nightmares might come for him when he closes his eyes, either way it has both hardened him and left some of his humanity in shreds.

You want your trouble to be a few words or less. With what you wrote could be a description of what your trouble means.

There I put brackets around the aspect.

Excellent, what page were the skills on? I have to read up on how that interacts with the approaches.

I created my own sheet for this, just copy paste into your character sheet.

Skills start on 120.

Where did you come from?
Aspect: Forged in Fire

Life was never easy for Corbin, he doesnt know who his father was or even remember the sound of his mother's voice, but he learned to survive at all costs.

What shaped you?
Aspect: Iron Sharpens Iron

Little did he know how much his path would be affected by the military school he ended up in. The strict discipline and regimented lifestyle molded him.

What was your first story?
Aspect: Eyes Cold as Ice

When cadets start turning up dead during the Crucibal, Corbin puts his life on the line to pass his final test. Can he survive against the brutal assault of a crazed killer while learning his place within the White Council and passing the Crucibal?

I'm going to add to the rules that we are using the Accelerated version. That's the one I read anyway.

Where are those rules?

Its on the trove. One book is "Your Story" (I think that is what you read) and the other is "Accelerated"

Accelerated should be the simpler rule set of the two.

Welcome to the game everyone. If there are any questions feel free to ask me (specifically about the Dresden series and what's happening now). For questions about the rules and how to build xyz, Marcus and Dahlia are both veteran players. Should be good to answer any questions.

Edit:


If we want to design a mantle you can talk it over with me and as long as it is balanced with the ones in the book, I'll okay it.

Hello everyone!

I will be playing Hamasa, a shadow clinging information broker of dubious and unknown background.

Welcome everybody to the game.

I'm putting up some information for NPCs that anyone could run into. One person is reading the series for the first time, CONGRATULATIONS, but I can't put up information without spoilers. Sorry.

Lol to that person I hope they enjoy the series. I am at the point I need to do my crossover aspects. If anyone is interested shoot me a pm.

No crossover aspect in the Accelerated ruleset :)

Hello, I am Felix Mac a'Bhiataich, a totally unremarkable university professor (need to check up on the actual universities of Chicago). And whatever else you think I did it wasn't me and I have an alibi !

Hello all.  Big fan of the Dresden Files and actual Illinois native here.  Don't know too much about Chicago itself, but I know a lot about the suburbs around it.

Nora Murdock used to be a Red Court Infected.  But thanks to a certain meddling wizard, she...isn't anymore.  She's actually a little put out by this--it was nice being a superhero.

How do all. Looking forwards to the game.
Best of luck to person being a first timer with the series.

Marcus' from a family with a history of osteomancy, though luckily they've by now been around long enough that the Council's records have them listed as "below council level capabilities, not in fact necromancy." He's been in the US building up some experience in various medical institutions to aid with his orthopaedic work and Chicago's next on the list. At as it turns out one of the worst times to visit.

Hello! I'll be playing Iris, a spoiled socialite with no business having anything to do with the supernatural at all.

I'm also the newbie to the series, so wish me luck! I'm most of the way through the first book. I'm not at all worried about spoilers so don't worry about it either. If you mention something you think I won't know, feel free to private line me a link or a quick explanation. Of course, if Iris doesn't know about whatever it is either, then it all lines up nicely!

Great attitude, I like it.

Have you thought about how you will handle the 'once per session' stuff, as there is rather quite a bit of stunts that are limited that way ?

Can you not spend Fate points to invoke it? I thought that meant you just got a freebie?

From the Criminal mantle:
Heat [...] Clear one point of heat between sessions.
Lay Low: Once per session, you may attempt to ...
Inside Man: Once per session, you may declare ...
The Usual Suspects: Once per session, you may declare...

Those don't use fate points at all, they are all about 'Heat', the unique mechanic of the Criminal mantle. And since the only way to reduce Heat is tied to session, it is rather crucial for me :). But you are right, Hamasa, recovering fate points is also done 'between sessions'. And 'lasting' conditions are measured in sessions.

But if fate points let you invoke aspects, shouldn't they also let you invoke stunts?  I'm new to Accelerated so I honestly don't know.

No, most stunts are just, basically, your powers from you mantle (think template, except more detailed and less customizable). Some are automatic; for instance, as a werecat, I have the Beast Whisperer stunt which states "You inherently understand and may communicate with any animal of the same type as your wereshape [etc.]". No conditions, no requirement, certainly no fate points, I understand and can communicate with cats. On the other hand, it's a rather weak power but hey, it's always on.

Others have a built-in limit to how often you can use them, separate from fate points. So as a criminal, I have "Heat" (as in, heat from the police). I have five boxes, and by crossing them (increasing my heat) I can fuel some of my criminal stunts, and get a +2 to some rolls, or a piece of equipment. Vampires have "Hungry", which fuels (some of) their powers.

Others yet are simply "once per session", and tend to be more powerful, and a very few (and very powerful) require the expenditure of a fate point.


Note: I have two mantles, criminal and wereshifter, because wereshifter is added to a pure mortal mantle. Most characters will have only one.

Play by ear. You can generally accomplish quite a bit in a 4-8 hour session. Granted, if you ran 4 hour sessions as opposed to 8, you would get to use your once per session ability MORE OFTEN in game.

So, on play by post I'll go either by milestones (We reached check point A, everyone's once per session refreshed along with their refresh!) Or when I feel like it (This feels right, everyone reset your refresh, once per session, etc).


Make sense?

Works for me!

What's your intended start date?  I think I'm built, working on descriptions at the moment.

If you made a character and it is done, I'll go through it tonight and IMMEDIATELY open a thread for you to play in once I'm done.

As I wanted this game to be large anyway (so you all can run or join your own factions if I get enough players and run this city) you all don't have to be a a whole team.  You can link up with one or two others, or all of you for a big job, and move about the city.

Can you have more than one mantle?  I thought we just started with one and added stuff with whatever XP-alike this system uses.

Sorry, new to this system too.  Already like it more than Base Dresden RPG though.

Some mantles let you have multiple, but it explicitly states it in said mantle.

Like in my case, werecreature explicitly says to take one of the 'pure mortal' mantles (I chose criminal) and then add the werecreature one. Changeling works the same way.

Just found where it says that in the book, but thanks for confirming.

I've mixed up 4 people so far. Whoops. Apologies but that has been corrected.

Side note, HOUSE RULE:

Any characters sharing a back story gets a free aspect (shared) to add to their list of other aspects.

Example. Felix and Hamasa share a back story and decide together aspect is: Cats Have 9 Lives

Due to their shared backstory, they each get this aspect and now have ties in game.

This is available for everyone and the above listed is "literally" just an example. They don't have this (but if they used my example that would be funny and cool)
This message was last edited by the GM at 05:03, Thu 12 Mar 2020.

when you say "sharing a backstory" do you mean "we are a duo practically chained at the hip" or "we shared one very harrowing and meaningful adventure a'la the base rules"?

Because if it's the later, Nora could know people with the following:
-a tendency to hunt vampires
-church backing
-anyone from Boston or the East Coast
-strong connections to the Paranet

I might be interested considering he fought in the war against the red court.

You don't have to be chained to the hip per se. However, I would expect almost, but not quite, no infighting and a lot of teamwork. You could still have your own story arch, but more than likely you know that the two of you will help each other out (close to for "free") with each other's story archs.

But sharing a backstory means that if you wrote a full essay of your character, several paragraphs would be teamed up with this person. You don't have to write that much obviously.
This message was last edited by the GM at 05:27, Thu 12 Mar 2020.

Felix and I did shared backstory like they do in the unaccelerated version, it will be nor more than four paragraphs when it's done.

Oh my God finally home!!!

Was sitting at work having a drink and one of my cooks walks out saying our walkin wasnt working. Had to find a home for $4k worth of product so they can fix the thing overnight.

If any of the NPC info is slightly wrong (or mostly) for the time frame let me know. PM or OOC doesn't matter. I think I got it right. I had to fix Molly as what I wrote originally was later lol.

But I think I have everyone else mostly right at least. Not sure if Ramirez is the Commander of the US or if that happens in a couple of books but I think it is right.

Been a minute since I read all the books. Like when skin game came out.


What is the difference between secret and private as far as rpol coding?

Hello folks. I'm playing a Wizard and Deacon of the Catholic Church. His job in life is to be mistrusted by the Church, the White Council, and pretty much every supernatural power.

Think a mid-20's Michael Carpenter with magic instead of Amoracchius.

Anyway, I'm looking for PCs to build history with. I'd like significant enough events to build an Aspect or two around, but I'm more than happy just to create familiarity and backstory. Alex (or Xander to some) is a contemporary of Father Forthill's at Saint Mary of the Angels, and a member of the White Council (despite the disapproval of many of their members).

Private show up to the intended recipient (or recipients) in orange, with brackets, so it's immediately obvious to him he has received a private line. Secret shows up as ordinary text.

Nora may be a good one for you to talk to.

Also, for those of you who haven't yet had the pleasure:

https://www.jim-butcher.com/po...-and-virtual-signing

It's a real tearjerker of a Dresden Files short story, if you know the context.

Oh I see it's from his point of view.

NEW READER - do not read the above link until you've read the books referenced. Seriously. Calling it radioactive level of spoilers as it does is still not enough of a warning.

Good morning everybody!  I'll be playing Meg, your friendly neighborhood Summer fae.  (The particular neighborhood in question being Lincoln Park.)  Looking forward to gaming with you fine people.

Good morning.

Everyone, when making group PMs, don't add me. I'm already in all PM threads. If you need me to read a PM not addressed to me, just tell me so. For all PMs to others, not to me, I just click Mark as Read. I'm not going to go read things I don't have to. Also, makes it more fun if you gang up on me in unexpected patterns.

Shared background wise, I don't know if anyone would have encountered Iris via social circles. That said, she does have an uncanny tendency to show up in places where something bad is about to happen just before things go sideways.

Hiya everyone, seems it got busy when I took a day off!

Nothing much to see here, just your average girl...what?  What katana giving off a heavenly aura of faith?  You're a katana giving off a heavenly aura of faith! :P

There's a possibility Marcus might have crossed paths with Iris before since he is from an old money family. But they're far from a local one so it's not guaranteed.

And hello other people who had not spoken up already when I first said hello to those who were there. Looks like we'll be getting a fair sized mob.

There's a good chance Dahlia's crossed paths with Alex and/or Nora, since she's been involved in the Church's supernatural dealings even before she was chosen to bear her Sword.

I don't know why but that's funny. Can't wait to see Dahlia in action.


Side note, I'm probably done for the day. Gonna crash and Nioh 2 releases tonight.

@DM.  What are your thoughts on concurrent threads? Caleb had their own thread that they could walk into the bookstore in, they don't technically have to wait around in my thread for Hamasa to finish with her first customer.

It is more work for you though, keeping track of multiple threads, so I don't want to assume.

*Reads thread*

Oh you're two steps ahead of me!

Problem already solved.
This message was last edited by the player at 18:15, Thu 12 Mar 2020.

Since time is being loosely tracked instead of precisely tracked, a character operating in one thread at any time is crucial. If you were in corbin's thread an hour before your thread and a fight broke out, it could severely affect whether one scene or the other could happen in the first place. Thereby starting a domino effect of actions that didnt take place.

Whichever scene takes the greater precedence will be the one to post in. Corbin thought he couldnt continue his thread without your information, so he moved to you. If you needed the warden's protection because your life was in danger, you would move to him. If there is ever confusion just ask me.

Over time im sure we as a geouo will naturally develop a good system that works but i think for now, you can be active in only 1 thread at a time unless you have minions.

*pokes the boss*

Pretty sure my sheet's good now.  Take a look and let me know?

May want to do it in a PM rather than the sheet. GMs can see when there's a new PM but not every time you update your sheet (or scratch pad).

Well fuck... I love this game already.

@Hamasa Quick question, can you be soulgazed? Kinda an interesting point to really take a glimpse at who he is really dealing with.

Only one way for you to find out!

I love it.

I didn't put a section for refresh and Fate.
Everyone add Refresh and Fate under Approaches.

Everyone also mark which Stunts you have purchased. The one gained for free and possibly 1 or 2 pruchased with refresh. an X or * or some kind of thing to let me know which ones you actuall have.

So just making sure I'm understanding the process correctly - we get the core stunts from our mantles, then we should pick one more stunt, and -then- we can buy 1 or 2 more by spending refresh?  If so I think I have one more stunt to pick out.

Please pardon if that's a dumb newbie question, I'm not as experienced with this system as I'd like to be.  :)

Exactly right. 1 free, max of 2 additional since each takes 1 point of refresh and you can't go to 0.

The fae mantle words it especially oddly since only it directs you to pick the free stunt in the mantle description whereas the other mantles seem to assume you'll remember it from the character creation bit. I think the intent might have been to require all fae to spend a minimum of 1 refresh acquiring stunts as well as picking the free one, so that all fae start a bit under refresh max. But if that was the intent it's poorly phrased.
This message was last edited by the player at 11:18, Fri 13 Mar 2020.

Correct. All core stunts essentially come with the mantle. Then you get to pick 1 additional stunt free. If you spend refresh you can get 1-2 more.

Roger that, thanks to both.  I hadn't picked out that free one but I know which one I want, I'll add it now.  :)

Im not at home. Is someone able to post the rules for soulgaze?

Soulgaze: When looking someone directly in the eye for more than a few
seconds, you peer into their soul and they likewise see into yours. The
exchange manifests itself as a cryptic vision. Make a Focus roll, opposed
by their Focus roll; the winner learns one concrete, useful piece of information about the other individual, or two things if the winner succeeds
with style. On a tie, each person learns something. These things can be
advantages with a free invoke at the GM’s discretion.

I'll admit, I didn't read this.  I just assumed it worked like the books and non mortals were immune.

I think it's soulless creatures rather than non-mortal (and the description does specify you see their soul and they see yours). So trying to initiate one and failing tells you something too. I know it worked on Tomas so works on White Court and if memory serves Dresden avoided similar with vampires of the other courts and a dragon.

I did too. Roll. Corbin has a +2 total if he rolled correctly. Im adjusting the rule.


If you win by 3 or more. Both parties describe a scene such that it imitates the book. This can be a PL to each other if you wish.  The loser however Writes 2 pieces of information while the winner writes one.

Tie and anything else 1 each


As it is a contest of will, you are free to give as much information as you want but the minimum is the above.


Another fun fact. Every two pieces of truth about yourself you willingly give Above required, give yourself a fate point. On your sheet list

1 fate: soulgaze +2 info(person soulgazed)

Or something similar. This is true for the initiator and initiatee

*Enjoys everyone's wacky misadventures, but wants to get her ownnnnn!*

Sorry I'll start one for you soon

07:57, Today: Hamasa rolled 11 using 4d3+1 with rolls of 2,3,3,2.

+3 total.

If Corbin rolled 1, 1, 3, 2 with Focus +2 then he got a total of 1.

You are correct. Misread his post. 1 piece each. I'll post an example in the next 20 minutes if you want to wait. What im looking for from soulgaze interaction.

@Corbin.  We both have some retconning to do.

No retcon truly needed unless it changes anything you would have written then by all means. Soulgaze description up. I will be adding a description of what everything means. However, not necessarily would you know what the story means. Although anyone paying attention can see, his story lines up with his sheet.

Ok a few things, the main restaurant I work at has its reopening for the season today so I will be in and out sporadically as I get a chance.

Soulgaze uses Intellect not Focus. Unfortunately.

The rest I will glance at during my next smoke break.

IF there are any questions about soulgaze, don't ask me them....JK ask away PM or OOC.

My book says Focus ? Unless you have a strange version of the power ?

I'm seeing intellect too.  Are you looking at the Accelerated rules?

Soulgaze: When looking someone directly in the eye for more than a
few seconds, you peer into their soul and they likewise see into yours.
The exchange manifests itself as a cryptic vision. Make an Intellect roll,
opposed by their Intellect roll; the winner learns one concrete, useful

Which one is the newest one?
This message was last edited by the GM at 18:04, Fri 13 Mar 2020.

Hello all!

Yes, I am. So I went looking on the Internet, and I found a forum post speaking of switching Third Eye and Soulgaze from Intellect to Focus between the backers' preview edition and the actual release. That might explain the discrepancy, although I couldn't find an actual errata or anything...

My version says:
Soulgaze: When looking someone directly in the eye for more than a few
seconds, you peer into their soul and they likewise see into yours. The
exchange manifests itself as a cryptic vision. Make a Focus roll, opposed
by their Focus roll; the winner learns one concrete, useful piece of information about the other individual, or two things if the winner succeeds

However, when I looked at the version under your link, on the credits page, mine has a few more playtesters, and four Interior Artists instead of two and a XX mark

Interior Artists:
Tyler Walpole,
Medusa Dollmaker,
Lenka Šimečková,
and Brett Barkley

So I'm guessing mine is the more recent ?

Does it have the same dates? Or ISBN? If so, we can go with focus? I guess. You have a link to your book?

I'm guessing then that Hamasa rolled focus and Corbin rolled Intellect. So someone needs to reroll. I'm sure Corbin wants it to be Focus hahaha.

All in favor of focus?
This message was last edited by the GM at 18:21, Fri 13 Mar 2020.

Same dates and ISBN. I suppose the GM will have to put on his House Rules hat and make a ruling.

For what it's worth, I think Focus makes more sense.

Alright, Focus it is.

I've got a physical copy and it's saying Focus in there.

I am ALL for Focus.

That would change the roll to.

7, Today: Corbin Widowghast rolled -1 using 4 Fudge dice with rolls of 1, -1, -1, 0.  Soulgaze
This message was last edited by the player at 18:48, Fri 13 Mar 2020.

Well that's decided. But we may very well run into this issue again. So hopefully Marcus, Felix and others will continue to help settle the facts. Not the truths but the facts.

Adding your focus to the negative 1 would not give you 7. If you wanted to spend Fate you didn't state so. or is that 7 from something else? copy paste error?

Adding new rule of "if spending fate, say so in the die roller."

In reply to The Chronicler (msg # 90):

Prolly a copy paste error, I'm on my phone.

Hamasa wins by one. So just do the one piece of info each requirement. Any sets of 2 pieces over gives you fate. Whichever, if either, of you choose to do so.

Alex, I haven't started your story (no pun intended here) since I don't recall getting a PM stating you're done. let me know if you need anything from me.
This message was last edited by the GM at 19:15, Fri 13 Mar 2020.

@Corbin.  It would be cruel to make you reroll, wouldn't it? Just exchange your bonus with the original roll.

In reply to Hamasa (msg # 93):

It's fine, it would just add 1.

Cruel are the fates indeed. Both of his base rolls were -1. So it didn't matter which one he used hahaha.

My last two posts have been updated to provide more information.

In reply to Hamasa (msg # 96):

I just pmed you, there are 3 bits of info there trying to grab that Fate point.
This message was last edited by the player at 21:47, Fri 13 Mar 2020.

How many of the core stunts do I get from my mantle? Just one, or both?

Both.

@Corbin.  Are you carrying your sword in public, or were you trying to be discreet?

Sheet is done, Mr. DM! If you could give me a look to make sure its in order.

Working on my full bio right now- for other players, I'm a Squire (non-unique lower-power Knight) for the Winter Court, my High Aspect is Mantle of the Snow Hare, my Trouble is Mab's Little Bitch Boy, and my other aspects are The Hare Hides in Thornbushes, Ready to Bolt, and Ears Always Up.

The Mantle of the snow hare gives Carlisle good danger sense and the ability to either evade or escape foes, but it also marks him as prey. He can't stand toe-to-toe with most of the things he's force to deal with. an even if he could, he wouldn't want to. His trouble is that Mab and Maeve have their hooks bone-deep in him, and tug him like a puppet whenever it amuses them. As much as he may resent it, he's duty bound to serve.

His other aspects represent how he navigates the hungry Winter Court as prey. The Hare Hides in Thornbushes is how the Mantle protects him- while the fae of the court know they could easily break him, they'd have to content with the Queens first. Being a favorite plaything of the royals has upsides as well. Similarly, Carlisle seeks to put himself in the good graces of the powerful, or place himself in protected positions, to use them as a shield against his enemies. Ready to Bolt is his hair-trigger danger sense. His weight is always forwards- Carlisle knows the second the shoe drops and is out the door before it hits the ground. Sometimes being so ready to flee isn't an advantage, however- plenty of things enjoy the hunt. Finally, Ears Always Up is his perception. Carlisles hearing has gotten supernaturally good, gaining him important advantages and leverage to both do his Lady's bidding and keep him safe. Carlisle doesn't let a peep pass him by unaware.

Is there anyone who still needs inter-PC background stories for some extra aspects who's looking for a Winter Court agent or a fast and reliable secure courier through the Windy City?

Wow you have all been busy! I'll get caught up today and ensure my sheet is complete. I made the mistake of tmgoing to both Costco and Walmart yesterday and it's taken me a while to recover!

Hey Charlisle.

Hamasa is not Winter, but she spends a lot of time in Faerie.  She's an information broker, and our character's baser instincts will line up in a number of ways.

For instance:

Normally I don't like to reveal my abilities OOC, but for this one it pays for everyone to know that Hamasa is

Well Connected: As I am Well Connected, once per session I can find a
helpful ally in just the right place at just the right time.

Likely we would have bumped shoulders, and probably have something of a working relationship.

Snip!
This message was last edited by the player at 22:06, Sat 14 Mar 2020.

Carlisle, you can send a PM to Hamasa so as to not give away all your secrets. Just as in the book series, you could eventually be on the opposite side of one or more players, even if only for a while.

Case in point, Harry Dresden and Gentleman Marcone have been allies and enemies several times.

Makes a lot of sense! Whoops.

Sorry guys only chef at work today so I might get a chance to post in like 30 mins

No problem, I haven't thrown a character sheet together yet pending a possible Aspect being developed with Dahlia.

In the PM I have with Nutmeg, there is a question that needs your attention please.

Hello!

I'm excited to join in on a real Dresden game!

I originally pitched a dream-walking focused practitioner, but I've changed my mind and pitched a were-human trauma counselor.   The idea of a woman who actually turns into her own alter-ego... I find that amusing as hell.

I work graveyards also...  PST.  Casino security.  And, as of today, I'm off work for who-knows-how-long.  So, my attendance likelihood has just skyrocketed.

In our thread we are suppose to be posting in Nora's thread now

yes.

Fixed!

Ok cool, gonna go.post now, just finished running session 0 for a new home campaign in 5E.

Welcome to all the other people who had not posted already when I first said hello to those who were there. Looks like a fascinating spread of characters we've got.

Alex is ready to join in the story. I'm awaiting an opportunity to intro into Nutmeg's thread.

Ah, I was wondering how we vector into the story...

Basically you get a thread made for you or, particularly as player count increases, your character gets injected into an existing plotline.

I can't imagine what it's gotta be like to custom-make threads for twelve characters.

I used to run a relatively open world VtR 2.0 game here on rpol.

We hit 20k posts in 4 years, had at our height something like 16 players?  I had a LOT more free time back then, and a job whose evenings were mostly spent screwing around on the internet.

It's manageable, but only if you have a job/career that supports it.

Luckily, I'm not finding it hard at all.

I haven't played VTR in forever. I used to love playing that game. Team Toreador all day. But also, the Demon host (don't remember the actual name) thing was cool too. Using money as a weapon was a cool gimmick. I think I once made a combat specialist with 40 dice. How, I don't remember. I also made a sorc that turned things into valuable metals and the storyteller made me go through hell to sell it. I had to roleplay finding a fence and all that mundane bs that turned into lots of bloodshed.

Fuck Toreador!!! Just a bunch of superficial prissy bitches. Real power was with the mind and Magic of Tremere.


Haha I remember that demon money throwing thing you built it was fucking dumb how much power he had. Got a problem just throw money at it. Who ever said money cant solve problems?

How dare you, sir! Majesty has astronomical uses! It isn't my fault you can't play chess. HAHAHAH. Tremere are pretty scary creatures though.

In reply to The Chronicler (msg # 122):

LMAO Bitch please...beauty doesn't win you chess matches.

In reply to Corbin Widowghast (msg # 123):

Read my previous post.

Just as a friendly FYI, if I invoke an aspect that gives you a penalty "Crowded Club" you can likewise use this aspect in your favor for a future roll. "Escaping the bouncer, invoke Crowded club, approach Guile, lose the bouncer in sea of people" Etc. However, You the player will have to figure that out on your own. I won't be telling you. If you are unsure if there is an aspect you can invoke from the room you are in (or environment if outside) feel free to ask. I will explain what is there. Feel free to offer ideas, I will say yes or no. If you think your aspect applies, ask and I will say yes or no.

So, I'm finishing off character development.

Tamsyn Athanasiou is a psychologist/counselor with a private practice.  She specializes in grief and trauma counseling, critical-incident response and "cult deprogramming", but has a wide range of less dramatic-sounding services.    She's pretty heavily involved with the Paranet and has offered support for many of Chicago's supernaturals: grief counseling for the families touched by the murders in White Night for instance.  More recently she's been seeing several people dealing with addiction withdrawl issues for those suddenly without a supply of Red Court narcotics.

Those who know her well would know that she has a sort of "alter-ego" that's a lot more physical and... unpredictable.

Anybody care to create some connections with me?

If that was a 5th Element reference, awesome. Corbin Dallas? Ha
 "I'm here using my multipass." Should be the next line.

Side Note: Maaaan, Hamasa. You had over 6000 posts as the storyteller of your game. Hardcore dedication. I almost want reader access to go through your game.

In reply to The Chronicler (msg # 127):

It was.  Didn't talk to Corbin about it, but it seemed like the kind of thing Nora would call him.

...sounds better than "Widowgast" in a club setting anyway.

Ello all. Anyone have the rule book downloaded and able to share with me?

Use The Trove website and just search Dresden. If you scroll up, you can see a link I used. Or previous page.

With that my shift is about to end. Going to go crack out on Nioh 2 so may not post or I may before sleeping. Either way, have a great day everyone.

Ping me with an RTJ and it's all yours.

I was the assistant program manager at a sub acute hospital diversion program, a job that.

a).  Had 4x 10 hours shifts a week.
b). Worked noon to 10pm
c). The period from 5pm to 10pm was largely just sitting around in case something when wrong.

Most nights it didn't, so I had a lot of time on my hands to mess around.

I was also blessed with a hardcore group of dedicated players who built an amazing story with me, several of whom I chat with on Discord almost every day and am in multiple games with or run by them.

Scans IC thread: Is THAT a fate point?

Hi All!  More new(ish) blood being added to the mix.

Hahaha I think I just got demoted/promoted to US Marshal.

I can't make it toooooo easy for you guys to finish your arc. Or have Hamasa finish your arc for you.

It's looking more and more like I may need a different thread to join in on.

By all means I was not trying to insinuate that. I just found Lucidity entertaining. For once it's the guy in a hood good monologueing to the BBEG and them being like I should just slit your throat and be done with it.

Could always come play with the Information Broker and the Warden.

In reply to Alexander Delaney (msg # 136):



Alex I can start you a thread but it was just going to be easier for you to just jump into Nutmegs, Like right now don't wait for people, as you are one of the liaison's to initiate the duel between Marcone and Aspenwhite. Part of your background. NEVER just wait for someone when interacting with the GM. Me. But do wait when interacting with the player.

Like white wolf sandbox, I'm going to cater to the fast and the furious, I mean people posting regularly. I'm not going to forget anyone by any means, but I'm not going to slow you down.

Also, to Corbin's point, if you want to jump into any thread, PM me first and we'll work your angle to go there.

Also, anyone done that I'm unaware of just PM me to look over your sheet.

God, poor Nora is gonna come back to like a chapter of reading. A near fight, a scolding, and all this right after she says hi to an old fling.

Yeah, I kind of want to slow down to give her a minute to get a word in edgewise.

Not at home. May post later, dont know yet. Good stuff hamasa and Corbin. I felt like watching a couple misunderstsnding each other's statements until the end. Started getting on the same page.

Felix, i believe in you. You've always been clever.
Alex, yeah i tried to work you into several arcs. Guess i should tie eveyone into hamasa and corbin, those two are cooking.

Marcus and iris not toon shabby.


I need someone to teach me combat before Marcus' fiend makes an appearance

Hello Tamsyn! My character Eve is also a newcomer in this game. I think it would make 100% sense for our characters to be connected. At least regarding Tamsyn's line of job, but we can figure out if there is something more in it. I will try to get PM in at some point today or tomorrow, though you can of course PM first if you have a lot of free time in your hands. I am still in the process of codifying the character to the site (most of the actual mechanical creation is ready), which will take a while.

And hello to everybody else too. I have tried to at least skim through all the threads to get a picture of what is going on. Enjoyable reading, hopefully I can create something as useful and interesting.

Welcome to the newcomers!!

posting now.

Erik, apologies, I'll just start posting interactions if Alex doesn't log in by tonight. One of the many things about RPOL, you never know when people are going to stop logging in.

Thanks.  Sorry for the trouble.  If he's gone, do you want to change where you're connecting me to the story, or want to keep me there?

Hello peeps. At work. Will post for anyone needing an update soon.

EDIT: Erik, updated you. Just updated my post. We'll keep this going for now and I'll NPC Alex  until he comes back. If he doesn't, we can shift you away.

Nutmeg, I've noticed you log in but not post. Are you needing anything?

Hope all are safe during this uncertain time. I know posting has slowed TF done in almost all games.
This message was last edited by the GM at 04:21, Mon 30 Mar 2020.

Hello everyone. Glad some threads are moving. I'll be updating during my shift. Appreciate everyone being lax during these times. Anyone not playing yet that is still logging in every day,  just PM what you need from me so we may get you rolling.

Oh RPOL didn't do the weird April Fool's skin. Well I never liked that skin so whatever.

Mine is extremely weird, all pastel colours.

Hey, I misread the Nora's thread and posted. I read that the presence disappeared after invading the party's mind. Thus, I screwed up a bit. I delete the post and make a new one.

All pastel for me too! ICK.

I apologize for spamming this thread, but I now made a new post, trying to rectify my mistake earlier. Please hit me with a message one way or another, if it missed its mark this time as well.

The ST wont be on right now, he is usually asleep during the day but I do think he works tonight. I personally have no problem and am trying to figure out how to respond given this new wrinkle in the scene.

Might be a way to get the hell out of there, if needed =D.

In reply to Eve Thompson (msg # 157):

My thoughts exactly

I wonder if mine didn't get jacked because I use a custom made skin?

Hello everyone. Yes I sleep during the North American day time. I'm more akin to being in line with Japan as far as my sleeping habits.

I generally wake up about 8 PM CT or 10 am in Japan. Hahaha.

I'll read the scene. As most have noticed I'm concentrating more on the story and less on the rules (I don't know them the way I know pathfinder and white wolf). I may very well make a mistake or two feel free to let me know when that happens.


EDIT: Corbin, Hamasa, Nora, and Eve...I'll post after your exchange is finished. I'm guessing one of you is going to either open a Way, get the group back through the trapdoor, or so on.
This message was last edited by the GM at 02:30, Thu 02 Apr 2020.

I think it's just Eve now left in the room. And if she hadn't said she was looking for the white council in would just slam the door in her face too.

Eve has a Way open, right?  If that's where Corbin is going, then Hamasa follows invisibly.

Also Corbin asked if she could make one. I'll wait for her response. Anyone part of scene that doesn't know, normal magic doesn't work on outsiders. But your character would know.

Ah, I think there was some confusion about that scene transition.

@Corbyn, Eve opened a Way, that's how she made her entrance.

Is that not still in the room? I'm going off of the Sight said the room was meant to torture whoever was in it let's close it and then gtfo.

My assumption was that the presence was in the hallway past the trapdoor, even if it spoke to the characters in the room where the trapdoor is. In my minds eye I assumed Eve would arrive to the room they would back off to.

Anyway, the portal is still open to an icy cave somewhere in Nevernever, should Corbyn and the others be willing to go through. I would say that the portal remains open a little while still (initially meant for Eve to have a chance to get the hell out, if this was a trap), but any delay after that would force Eve to take action to keep it open. Unless GM rules it otherwise of course.

Nora and Corbin's move then, I'm invisible.

So I can go edit my post but do I know your out of the room?

Sure!

Let's say Hamasa made some noise as she backed up.

In reply to Hamasa (msg # 168):

Done and done!

You're gonna just leave an outsider there? hahaha. some warden you are. JK JK.
Sounds like it is time to make a report. I'll wait for Nora to get a chance to respond edge wise.

In reply to The Chronicler (msg # 170):

I'm a Warden, not a martyr, or a hero, or insane.

Morgan would have went toe to toe with it. So would Dresden but Dresden's magic actually hurts the things. Karen would have fought it too. His whole entourage is nuts.

In reply to The Chronicler (msg # 172):

Oh my bad! Were not nuts enough to be on their level.

Hahaha nvm I was posting something stupid and she beat me to it.

Hopefully Ice troll is "inconvenient" enough for the GM =D. And thanks Corbyn for the word "larder". I tried to scratch my brain for a few minutes to remember the word, but it eluded me.

I think I am going to go with the Soulgaze Corbyn, too juicy to pass up. I apologize that it will take at least a few hours (maybe more) to find both time for typing and to form the post itself. Gotta read the soulgaze rules once again too.

You are good, I inadvertently slept all day, rainy days with nothing to do since your job is closed will do that to ya.

I'm around and we can move the soulgaze to a PM if you want. I probably should have rolled just in case so I'll go do that and edit my last post with the results.

Edit: Soulgaze roll has been added to last post.

Edit 2: Also remember the GM rules it as Focus on the roll not Intellect.
This message was last edited by the player at 06:29, Sun 05 Apr 2020.

I think from a narrative perspective Hamasa's post changes things a bit. I know I could just post about the soulgaze, but it does not feel fitting right now. Gonna post though.

She would have intentionally come in right as you were doing it, for maximum effect, if that helps.

She's well aware of them, and trying to be a bit disruptive.  Not canceling the soul gaze, just coming in unexpectedly right when things are emotionally tense.
This message was last edited by the player at 18:02, Sun 05 Apr 2020.

It was beautiful Hamasa. I feel like it should affect things, so I posted without the soulgaze. Love the character, the outfit even more so. With Eve's ties to the Fae, do not expect a lot of trust anytime soon though =D.

Corbin, you can keep the diceroll in mind and use it when we get to the soulgaze, if you want (and the GM does not veto it of course). Decent roll, would not want to waste it ;D.

Erik, edit your post. Drakul or Dracula Tepish isnt a vampire. He is a creature of some kind not classified. His son, Vlad the Impaler, became a black court vampire as part of his teenage rebellion against Dracula Tepish. Per Blackstaff McCoy.

That doesn't change that Drakul is indeed Black Court Royalry. If we are going with him being the original, that is. Any of his direct descendants would be.
This message was last edited by the GM at 23:23, Sun 05 Apr 2020.

Just checking to make sure I have everything straight now that I've refreshed with the wiki as I was getting confused.

Drakul = Vlad Tepesh II, half-mortal half-something extra special

Dracula = Vlad Tepesh III, the Impaler, son of Drakul, quarter something special, all black Court Vampire.

Is the wiki right?  If so, which are we saying is in town as Dracula XIV?

Since you stated he is the original, Drakul Vlad Tepesh 2. As nobody knows the first one and he isn't relevant. Unless you want him to be.

Wiki is right. You could say, he gave rise to the black court vampires. THat wouldn't technically be a lie. Its possible. But he himself is not.
This message was last edited by the GM at 03:04, Mon 06 Apr 2020.

Fixed.

I'm going to NPC Nora and eventually pull her away. Same thing I'm doing with Alex.

I'm giving people 1 month before removing them as I'm hoping they come back.

I will be posting for other threads later tonight as time allows.

FF7 Remake Releases April 10th. I'M GONNA BE ON THAT!

Played the FF7 demo on PS 4 a while back. For some reason the new fighting system did not do it for me.Have to try the other setting.

In reply to Eve Thompson (msg # 185):

I have played a ton of Turn Based Tactics and RPG games. I played FF7 as a kid and beat it like 3-4 times. As well as spent insane time on chocobo breeding/racing. I loved that game. Good story line too. However, today I've played a ton of unforgiving real time combat games such as, but not limited to, Dark Souls, Demons Souls, Nioh, Sekiro, etc. Playing the FF7 demo felt really nice. Seems like same/similar engine to FF15 and man the characters look good. I'm really excited about it.

It was quite a beautiful remake, I have to admit. I have played some Bloodborne, Nioh etc. I have loved a few jRPG games, though I admit having never played through FF7. I loved Breath of Fire 3 and 4 though. Chrono Trigger was beautiful as well.

The problem with the FF7 remake was the combination or real time hacking and having to switch characters all the time to ensure optimal output. I have to admit I did not peruse, if and how can commands and objectives be given to AIs. I like to hack and spell-sling my way to victory, but I do not want to do it with 3 characters simultaneously.

There was a more classic way of giving commands, have to try that too.

Regarding the current Nora scene: do you have some set difficulty in mind for our endeavor, or do we just RP it through?

RP through it, I do have a set difficulty in mind. What's RPing without complications? It's fun. But I'll try to avoid too much unnecessary interruptions that slows down the game or make it less fun.

Suits me perfectly. I assume from your style that you will proactively throw info at us about the numbers and required tests and so on, but wanted to make sure in order to include everything useful.

I want my players to do crazy stuff. Blow up buildings, have crazy fights. Or play mind games nonstop. Amass power, whatever you wanted to do, I want you to do that. Have fun.

Yes, when it is crucial I'll advise ahead of time to not slow things down. Otherwise I'll leave you in suspense of "did I make it!?" but not too much because pbp would slow to crawl that way.

Nice touch with the ice troll.

Hello all, I'll be your Lovely Illusionist Librarian in distress for this game.  Gonna take me a couple of days to get everything together to start but figured I'd drop in and say hi!

Welcome to the game! Hamasa and Corbin are the most active people in the game. I may have the most posts, but they are the most active, let me assure you.

And welcome everyone. Especially anyone I may have missed.

In reply to Katt (msg # 191):

Welcome come join our Merry band of misfits.

oh no movement today? Right on. Hope everyone is well.

Hamasa, edit your post. You were encapsulated by snow.

Oops, totally missed that.

Sorry guys I'm back, had the game I run IRL tonight and we just got done.

Looks like I may have gotten completed much sooner than I expected.  This system is a breeze to build for compared to Pathfinder (my usual system to play).

Stumbled on a couple of images that fit my view of the character so I've got them up in the character description section.  I need to expand on the description a bit more but I think it will suffice for now.

Yes a lot simpler.

@Hamasa and @Eve, we are moving over to Hanasa's bookstore thread then?

Yep!

Before posting more I'd like to hear other opinions. It is about the soulgaze. Should it be done via private messages, or in an open thread. On the other hand, it is something only Corbin would see and feel. An important moment between two characters. On the other it is usually an interesting read, enjoyable to all and this is not a PvP game where some 12 year-old would try to metagame the hell out of it.

I like PMs, because I like learning things IC or not at all.

In reply to Hamasa (msg # 202):

A very good point Hamasa! That is actually so valid point that I am going to go with it.

Corbin, should we do this in completely private message, or as a private line inside the post to streamline the info to one place? I do not really enjoy the orange color of the private line as it limits the form, but it would be easy to find in its proper place.

EDIT: Have the soulgaze post about ready, just need the place to put it into  =D.

Don't forget the soulgaze rules posted.

Hello all. Veteran gamer and former avid RPOLer joining the game.

In the real world, I'm a temporarily unemployed chef in Ohio. While I'm EST, I'm a nightowl so I'm usually up until 4am or later.

Welcome!! I am also a temporarily unemployed chef in Texas, this shit sucks!!! Welcome to the game.

Yeah, it does. I'm fortunate though since our Governor decided to take a few levels in badass when this hit and we're supposedly way ahead of the proverbial curve compared to pretty much everywhere else. We've got infection and death rates comparable to states with significantly less people.

Congrats, stat healthy and stay safe. You would think people knew how to just stay the fuck home.

Ah, but that would assume that people are smart.  A person is smart but people are dumb stupid panicky animal and we all know it.

In reply to Katt (msg # 211):

Look at Katt. She is paraphrasing Wizard's First Rule.

Sorry that I am stalling the thread. My kids 4th birthday tomorrow (evening here now). Things are very hectic, can not make a decent post tonight and tomorrow is quite tight.I hope you understand and forgive me.

Hmm, didn't realize it was in that.  I got it from the first Men in Black Movie.

Wizard's first rule is "People are stupid."

Its from the book series The Sword of Truth. Which was really good until about 6 and then I started to lose interest.

EDIT:

Update. Your ST injured his back. Not sure if I threw it out or pinch nerve. I hate posting from my phone so when I stop being lazy and get up, I'll update threads.

No worries Eve, we were moving at a frantic pace, we can slow down for a few days for you.

Pending a few finishing touches and some input from the ST, I believe I'm all up and running.

Posted. That said, welcome to all newcomers!

Peter Banning... wasn't that the name of Peter Pan in the movie when he grew up ;D ??

And welcome new people. Sorry to hear about your back ST.

Hey GM...  Bottom line is that it's a game.   You're already ahead of a whole bunch of games by keeping us in the loop.  That's huge!   Hope recovery is quick.

In reply to Eve Thompson (msg # 218):

Indeed it was "Hook."

@Peter: Brilliant! Great to have you on board.

ST: Feel better soon! Back injuries are rough. Take it easy and let it heal. We'll be here :)

In reply to Iris (msg # 223):

DON'T BE NICE TO HIM!!! He deserves this for all the years he was mister healthy. HAHAHA.


If you haven't gathered we are old friends. Just some playful shit talking. Back issues suck.

Bahah. Look, a GM that gets and keeps a story going, communicates when he'll be behind... on RPoL that is like a unicorn or something :D Few, far between, and precious!

In reply to Iris (msg # 225):

I agree completely. I have been in so many games where the GM has just vanished one day. No messages, nothing. This is precious.

ARGGGHHH!!! I dont know who here plays destiny 2 but fuck man, a Nightmare Hunt, even on master, should not take 40 effing minutes. You can't have 1 person DPS and the other 2 hiding for fucks sake.

Sorry rant over.

Okay. Yes back injuries suck. Let me peruse threads and see what I need to do. I'm prolly not gonna do much though fyi.

Destiny 2 is quite sweet, have played it casually on PS4. Liked it, but only did very basic quests and played almost always by myself. I do not readily remember what a Nightmare Hunt is though =D.

Alright everyone, FF 7 releases in 30 minutes so I'll prolly not get back on the rest of the night.

Nightmare Hunts came out in the last patch, Shadiwkeep. They are basically strikes/mini raid bosses. But currently they are one of the few ways to get pinnacle gear and got to make it to Light level 1025 at least.

I've played Destiny 2 some, my buddy and I have been playing 40k Inquisitor lately.

I'm also on PS4 Waynecheeky if you want to add me.

In reply to Peter Banning (msg # 232):

All you PS4 people suck!! I'm on Xbox.

That might be why you're getting crappy D2 groups :)

I've found, in general, that the XBOX online community is a lot more toxic than the PS4 one. Though that probably comes from there generally being a lot more of them in general. If I were more into the online multiplayer thing, I'd probably get one.

I've never really had a problem with toxic behavior more so than in LoL, but yeah it alsoni think spawns from xbox was a more competitive atmosphere from the start with it being the shooters console.

I can agree that I most likely suck, don't know if it has anything to do with PS4 =D.

Yeah, LoL can be bad. I play my daily pve and tft now.

I miss that game so much. Haven't played in forever.

I bounce in and out. Team Fight Tactics is a blast.

Xbox all the way!

I'm playing Dauntless, Monster Hunter, Ghost Recon Breakpoint. I've played some Destiny 2 but don't have anyone to play with so lost interest. I like Dauntless because cross platform (and free) so hubby can play on PC while I am on Xbox.

Ps4 Kuroikikaze feel free to add me. Gamer level almost 19. Play lots of stuff. But I'm on ff7 right now. Prolly not gonna play amything else until I get the plat.

I'm also on Steam, pc. My gamertag name is not appropriate on there. Hahahaahah

Hello everyone. I'll be updating some time tonight. Just wanted to pop in and say hello. Hope everyone is well.
My back is feeling so much better than it did Tuesday/Wednesday but still hurts.

Sorry to hear that, but glad you're okay.

Take care GM.

I feel your pain GM, at my previous job I had my back go out once a year for three or four years in a row, it sucked!  Get better soon.

Sorry for my quiet - between my birthday, Easter, and a newborn baby horse, it has been hectic! I should be back to regular scheduled posting tomorrow once I've had a night of sleep.

So, I didn't post last night. Apologies. Hopefully it's slower tonight at work. You would think it would be with everything happening but it actually gives increased workload due to more strain on all networks. More people are using it all at once vs everyone going about their day and using it at different times. This is causing high utilization of bandwidth that the systems weren't designed to support. But of course nobody wants to spend an extra billion on equipment they don't need for only 3-4 months ish (or longer depending). Because once everything stabilized companies would have a billion in gear they don't need nor would they get what they paid for it back.

Anyway, that was an over explanation on, "I'll try to post tonight."


Iris, you have a horses? that's so cool!
This message was last edited by the GM at 02:04, Tue 14 Apr 2020.

I do! For a couple of weeks I was down to single digits for horses - 9 - but the baby born last night brings me back up to 10.

That's not counting the lambs, and pigs, dogs and cat... It is quite the zoo here :)

In all of my games, the GMs have been missing posts.    There is a global pandemic.  I don't expect any of you to still be posting, and I'm shocked and impressed that anyone is.  Please take good care of yourself, be safe, and take all the time you need.

Hamasa, you were given a task to find something for someone. If you have another objective to search for, feel free to explore it.

Oh the whole gang is going? That ought to be fun. Everyone in One of Three post up in 4 More Eons. I need to post in there today as well.

Oh, to that point.

Hamasa, you have my stamp of approval. Busy night guys I'll try to post tomorrow.

Excellent.

Hey, just checking in. Should I be posting more or are we all in limbo with the ST being busy/injured?

I'm fine with it either way, I just wanted to make sure I'm not holding things up on my end.

Hell team. I'm sorry for my delay but I just don't think I can run this anymore. I'm going through emotional turmoil due to IRL issues. My back does feel infinitely better and has recovered but I think my relationship is over and I have less motivation to log in here every day.

I'm sorry to hear that, I was very much looking forward to this game.  I understand though, you gotta take care of you first.

Should things change and you decided to start up again then please let me know, I will still be interested.

Shit man, take care of yourself.

Last thing you need right now is added stress and guilt.  Thanks for running when you had the juice, and being honest with us when you didn't.  Be safe, hope things improve for you soon, and good luck out there.

I'm sorry to hear that GM. All my best wishes for you. In the unlikely scenario that we might be able to help you with something, please tell us. I will let this game hang around for now, should you change your mind at some point.

Sorry to hear GM, you take care.

For those who might be interested... Another DFA game just popped up...
