Hey there! I'm still in the process of setting up everything for the game. But, if you stumble across this in searching and it piques your interest, feel free to shoot me a PM or drop an RTJ! I'm always happy to work with new players in getting the setting squared away.

Alright! I'll start adding some location threads, soon. However, I'd like to hold off on actually getting started playing until we have a couple of people, at least.

I'll be adding a location for a park where the festival is taking place. Are there any other locations that you would like to see? Are there any favorite hangouts to be made?

Also, I'll start adding more details into the current event thread so there is a bit more information about the festival itself and what it entails. But, that's for tomorrow. I am way too sleepy, right now, to actually write much of anything.

I'll be adding a new section for races, soon. The first that I will expand upon are the fae.

Welcome to the game! It's great to have you!

Just let me know of any locations that you would like created. I'm making this all up as I go along, so don't be afraid at all to pipe up and say, "Hey! I'd like [location X] to be a thing." If you have a description of the place in mind, too, then absolutely send me a PM with it and I'll create the thread for you.

I expect this to grow and expand as more people join and more stories are written.

Both of you, feel free to start RPing together if you would like! However, I'm going to wait until I have at least 4 players before I hand out secrets. It's kind of pointless to do that with just the two of you!

So, things that are happening around the city, at the moment:

*The festival, of course.

*The local werewolves are hunkering down to wait out the week. While weres in my world are able to control when they turn, they are still somewhat affected by the moon in that it makes them all PMS-y, for lack of a better term.

*There's a book-signing going on at the Barnes & Noble by a local celebrity - an author who wrote a well-received bit of fiction.

*There's a busker who's moved into the area who is driving everyone batty. He's just one dude but he shows up to play his guitar EVERYWHERE. And, he's not even that good. But, he's danged persistent. He's at the CiCi's Pizza, then he's outside of CVS, then he's at the Home Depot...

I know Dalion has a post in the works. I'm going to pause, here, in case he wants to break into the action.

Sounds good, I'll hold off on my next to see if there's something to play off.

I rolled and Dalion did not get away with his theft unseen! So, Sienna can see it, if you like. Or, I can have an NPC see him.Whatever is the most comfortable!

I was under the impression that this is largely free form. I would rather not have most actions determined by the roll of a die, especially narrative ones but even most others unless there can't be something settled through conversation.

I'm giving everyone the choice about how they want to determine how things work. If you just want to work it out through narrative, that's fine. If you want to use dice, that's fine, too.

Ah! I just read the IC thread. I see what's going on, now.

Since this is taking place between two players, I'll let you decide how to handle this.

I know Dalion's player likes the dice and I'll make opposition rolls for NPCs and circumstance, but I think situations like this are best sorted between the two of you.

You know, I was wondering if I was overdoing it with the rolls in my last post, if you prefer just ignore my last role and feel free to go with whatever you feel is right.

GM has indeed emphasized the free form nature of this game. In the future, I'll try to focus more on conversation/narrative when interacting with your character. Is that ok?

That's great.

I did write the GM. I think the system (that one in particular) might encourage overrolling because of the way things work for learning new skills.

Mmmm yeah good point, it might encourage overrolling because someone might think it's beneficial to grind the system in order to powertrip the game.

In my case I don't know where I'm gonna take my character, he's mostly a blank slate, so I'm kinda using the rolls to determine how I'm gonna play it.

For example, the stealth roll that I failed makes me imagine that my guy is not particularly dextrous, so I'm probably gonna take that into account in the future. The rolls that I'm making right now is to give me ideas on how will I play in the future. Also, this is my first RP so I'm really trying stuff out to see what I like.

I updated the Crunchy Bits thread to better explain my thought processes about how the roller is to be used. Let me know if what I have said is clear.

If you want to use the roller for yourself, Dalion, to help form your character, that is great! Just make a roll, decide what it means, and write accordingly.

T'is all good!

We have a new player joining us! Welcome Solstice Flames. Feel free to pop in whenever you like. Or, if you need a new location to start, let me know. :)

Oh! And once we have one more player, I'll exchange secrets.
