It’s ok. The Mysterium has their uses. The more, the better.

Well we now can add Sharvara to that list of odd ones.  LOL

Hi all, I'm new to Mage but excited to game with you all. I'm still making my way through the rulebook to get the hang of character creation, but I'm going to go Thrysus for Path and am leaning towards Adamantine Arrow for Order.

There's 9-ish of you so far. Maybe 2-3 others over the weekend. We start early next week, I'll be around to support folks with their character sheets/development.

Again, everyone knows Morrigan. If you're Silver Ladder you've met Narcissus and if your GotV then you've spoken w/ Fortuna and have her contact information.

Everyone starts at Morrigan's place having just arrived in town with someone offering you safe lodging and a temporary sanctum at Morrigan's place.

Everyone has Morrigan's contact information, an open offer to stay at her place as long as you need and free use of the facilities, and her collection of tomes and lore. (Morrigan has never said she has a library)

I have zero concerns about the size of the group or its impact on play pace.

Some will not find this enjoyable for one reason or another and there are no hard feelings here, I am simply thankful to have spent time with all of you doing something we like.

Others will come/go over time as schedules change.

I will check in with anyone who's not posting at least 2x a week and keep things moving along for everyone.

Are we all new comers to the city or are we allowed to have lived/visited the place before?

In reply to Nefertari (msg # 38):

Not sure about all, but Sharvara is not a native and is going to be “new in town”.

Kairos will definitely be a new arrival to town as well. Also one likely to stick with the general gathering locale - to start with at least!

You can have prior experience with this area and even existing connections.

My only narrative requirement is you just arrived in the area and upon arrival all converge upon Morrigan's house/sanctum.

Connections existing, Sharvara will has a Mystery Cult which he helps oversee, and a Mentor. He's coming from the Washington D.C area is that ties into anyone else's backstory.

Sparrow is from California, but has done conferences on biochemistry and pharmaceutical research all over. Probably knows people in the field locally.

Sparrow would likely know (potentially at least) Kairos as well then. Being in the chemistry field himself (more physical than biological oriented though), but still with connections in that area. Lots of room for cross-over.

My character is a botanist. She might know Sparrow.

Sparrow has five dots in professional training for chemistry and pharmaceutical research. She is prominent in the field.

Sparrow is just a couple ahead of Kairos in that regard then. She'd be more well known than he, but I can definitely see him having heard of her given the mutual chemistry connection.

Cool. I'd be fine with a connection to Kairos and/or Strawberry. In which case you would know that Sparrow AKA Amber Nightingale is a leading chemist who does pharmaceutical research and development and presents at conferences. She's an outspoken advocate for decriminalizing recreational psychotropic drugs, and has participated in running multiple studies on therapeutic applications thereof. She also once coauthored a paper on tentacle pornography in culture.

Virgil has actually read Sparrow’s paper on tentacle porn, and may have worked with their company. He’s also volunteered for a study or two related to recreational drugs, but more as a hobby. He’s also a professional fixer for celebrities and corporations trying to avoid scandals. He’s a bit of a traveler and doesn’t stay in one place for too long. He often follows whatever opportunities he can for a good deal, and good being whatever benefits him.

Hey folks, not a player in the game, just going to be helping chronicle the tales you all spin.

Hello everyone,

If you have questions please reach out, I'm happy to help answer any questions you all may have.

The plan is to start early next week around Wednesday/Thursday.

Everyone arrives at Morrigan's place and the story kicks off.

You'll have both something to do/in character motivation and the freedom to explore once we're past her speech, it's a brief intro to her sanctum/your possible accomodiations.

I was taking it easy today, I am hoping tomorrow to finish up character.

Hi guys,

I'm playing Vagrant, an obromos Adamantine Arrow, so anyone with a simalar path/order might know of him.

He's also got several dots of Fame relating to his Sleeper years as a political activist so anyone tuned in to the politics may have met him or heard of him that way.

I'm open to anyone wanting to form a connection and looking forward to playing with you all.

Also, random note.

The template needs the virtue and vice sections, please add that and make note of your vice.
