Everyone knows Morrigan.

If you're Silver Ladder you've met Narcissus

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)

Yeah, all the order contacts point you to her and she is the order contact for AA, Mysterium and Free Council more or less.

Also, Social maneuvering and other player characters. Your fellow players dont have doors, there is no mechanical impression level between pc characters.

You have to actually convince the other mages to assist you in your plans.

There are no doors to open to force someone to comply.

With NPC's however, they are at the mercy of the dice system and your magic. Bon appetit

Two all out fails for the check. I'm curious to see how this goes!

A few requests from your humble Muse:
* For anyone who hasn't provided an image of their character in their descriptions, could you please PM me a photo?

* May I have your (all players) consent to quote text from this game for chronicling purposes?

* If you're fine with me copy/pasting direct quotes, how would you like to be cited? I'm leaning towards Mage names, but if you'd like credit to your rpol account toss that my way in a PM :)

(No, I'm not making any money off this or making it overly public. I just don't like taking work willy nilly.)

Hello to those who have begun,

I'm still waiting on perception checks from a few people.

There's essentially a brief moment, and you can reflexively respond.

Mage is a game of dreadful curiosity IMO.

If you have other reflexive options feel free to engage them,

I'm very interested in what you see/hear/smell/taste/feel through your nimbus, aka Mage sight.

(By this, I mean you can reflexively cast a spell minus any yantras, activate mage armor, use some merits)

Once I get everyone's perception checks, I'll move on.

Until then, feel free to engage your mage sight.

FYI - You can feed mana into the area for a +1 per point of mana and you may spend a point of willpower for +3 on your revelation attempts.

This sounds like helpful advice, it's not. Please, do it anyway.

It's partially a phrasing thing, but an important distinction that 2e mage makes over 1st is that Mage Sight is not a spell; it is an inherent ability of the Awakened and is in fact the core power that frees you from being a Sleeper.  Using Active Mage Sight (not necessarily Focused) is almost instinctual when you feel the supernatural tingling along your senses.  Curiosity is one of the defining characteristics of the splat and the developers really want you to indulge it on occasion.  ^-^

"Don't mind me, I'll just slide right on in and stay out of your way. No need to worry about me getting underfoot while I'm helping out."

More seriously, Hi everybody, I'm playing Brownie.


Brownie is a couch surfing Acanthus with a community focus who does good to feel good. Be it fixing broken plumbing or making a beautiful new playground pop up overnight in a rundown park, this Free Councilor leaves a trail of masterfully crafted gifts behind him as he drifts through life on the threads of good karma.

He also tends to disappear down into the ground to dig up materials and/or do some magic-intensive crafting.

Can only those roll a revelation who succeeded at the perception check, or can we all notice by now that something is happening?

Correct, this is still too subtle to pick up for those who missed the perception check or weren't sitting around with active mage sight.

After careful thought I have decided to bow out. I will not fight others to maintain my core character concept. Hunter has decided that his ability must trump mine. I disagree. I will not be bullied. Thank you for having me here. I officially demand to be removed.

That is an interesting interpretation of events.  I hope you find a game better suited to your preferences and knowledge of the system.

In reply to Polyhymna (msg # 88):

Consent given and no real quotation preference. Character name works.

Ditto.

As above, so below. I've no objection and character name is fine for accreditation.

Same here.

I'm good with it as well.

Quote all you want

Finally got an update posted.

Let me know the check result and I'll get started on my next post w/ outcomes.

So since my resolve+composure succeeded I'm finishing casting that spell, I reached 1 more than my free reaches so I need a paradox roll.

actually never mind, I forgot that increasing your spell factors only costs a dice penalty without a reach. Just ignore that wisdom roll.

what would the opacity be for a revelation on the copy?

Opacity 6

Has this game died?
