Relax! Get to know one another. Have a great time.

Hey everyone! Looking forward to rping with you all!

Yo. :)

Hello! I’m excited to dive into this world with you all!

I'm looking forward to the game :)

Hello everyone! Excited to be able to play with you.

Ah, glad to be joined by a fellow Kithain! :D I was feeling a little outnumbered here.

We are open for Light RP! While preludes finish up and I see if we get more players, feel free to light RP in public areas if you wish. You don't need my jurisdiction or approval for minor rolls or effects that enhance play, just nothing big!

We will say this RP takes place the evening before the night the game begins.

"Libra and Aries/
Wizards and Faeries." -- Noah23, King Night

Hello everyone! I have been playing RPGs since I was in 4th grade and playing White Wolf since 1994. I teach Special Ed and run my own Astrological Counseling and Meditation Center. I also love to create interactive art events with LARP elements and spiritual components. I am very friendly and open to discussion about anything.

One of my favorite music genres is Witch House, which is very Mage. Any fans?

Hiya! I too have been playing RPGs since an early age. Also a big LARP fan (goin to a one night Mage LARP set in 1946 in a few weeks as a matter of fact). I'm on the older side of average for folks here so I've been around the block or two. :-0

I have a public health and technology background and my fave music genres are classic rock, folk rock, and really esoteric and weird crap. I hadn't heard of Witch House until now - I need to check it out.

Salvete Sodales!

So yeah, obviously a longtime Ars Magica fan here.  It's what got me into WoD actually.  It's also the reason I get to grumble about a few decades worth of bad Tremere who don't take Latin or know anything about the house.  But I digress?

Aside from that, been gaming since the 6th grade.  Started off with pen and paper and quickly got into tabletop wargaming, 'cause I needed to be an even bigger nerd.  Or something.

And much like the powers that be, I am one of those poor underpaid fools that attempts to educate the youths.  Except instead of being a saint and doing special ed, I'm a grumpy old history teacher.  And psychology.  And economics.  And whatever the hell else admin decides to throw at me a week before the marking period.

Hello! I've been roleplaying for the last twenty years and more, most of it online. Mage was the game that got me out of regular dungeon-crawling and interested in urban fantasy, and Changeling is probably my favourite among the WoD line. :)

I work in IT and programming, which is not terribly interesting.

Oh man, another person in education checking in, here. I have been running and playing in games since I was in middle school, and I love Changeling The Dreaming more than virtually any other WoD game. I like the fact that it is so steeped in faerie lore. I'm looking forward to playing with all of you.

Haha, all us poor underpaid buggers eh?

And CtD is amazing mate, so no arguments here!  Definitely in my top three splats of oWoD, that's for sure!  But yeah, there's a reason I've been bouncing around another idea involving a faerie blooded member of House Merinita with ties to Skathach.

Sorry for delay, had a busy couple of days. I’ll update soon.

Hi all, I have been around a good while in the RTJ section, nailing down a character.

Nice to finally introduce myself proper, as I wanted something substantial before doing so.

So let's see here, in no particular order....

Been gaming since I was 12 or 13, started with AD&D and GURPS 3rd. These days, I mostly play Pathfinder 1e. I have vague experience with a few other game systems, like Shadowrun 4th and Rifts (never got a Rifts game off the ground, but one day....)

For White Wolf stuff, I have actual playing experience with Dark Ages: Vampire and Wraith 2nd more than anything else. Been dying to play Mage the Ascension. And...to be honest I wasn't a big fan of Changeling as written.... The base concept is just fine with me, but I wasn't a fan of: A) how strict and harsh Banality was and B) I didn't, personally, think chimerical reality was a great fit when integrated with the larger canonical World of Darkness (a more custom game like this though, probably fits a lot better I would wager, with the explicit call for high magic from the ST). I think Changeling, as originally envisioned, would have been better suited for a more stand alone setting or rework it a lot. Having said that, I think Dark Ages Fae would have been a good starting point for making something for modern day oWoD. But that's just me, as I know plenty of people enjoy playing Changeling the Dreaming, case in point here.

Also, played a campaign each of Exalted 2e and Scion 1e, fun stuff but neither is perfect by any means.

also to Perion ex Tytalus: your House Merinita concept sounds fun. I never got into playing Ars Magica, but I wouldn't mind trying it out in the future. What little I have looked into it has been mostly to learn more about the game that birthed the Order of Hermes, as Mage the Ascension is by far my favorite White Wolf game line.

forgot to mention, Sorcerer's Crusade is my favorite setting for anything White Wolf (though Dark Ages is a close second, with Victorian after that).

Spring Break whisked me away unexpectedly, but back to the game now!

Welcome back after your vacation based kidnapping.

Hello folks. I’m still working on my sheet but it’s nice to join you. I’m not much for long introductions. I’ve been gaming for a while like many of you and CtD has always had a special place in my heart. This’ll be the first time I’ve ever played a satyr. Knockers are usually more my style but I think this one will be fun.

welcome to the game.

Evening folks, I'll be your wandering Eshu storyteller. Been gaming since the early nineties, across a variety of systems

*waves to the new folks*

Looking forward to gaming with you all!

Hello, everyone!

Amherst preludes are wrapping up.

Rhysgandy preludes are about to begin.

I like what I am seeing so far!

Have a great day!

I have been lax in posting - I'll fix that tomorrow!

Just FYI - I'm headed out tomorrow for 12 days of fun, so if things start up here I may be slow to respond. I'll be back home on the 18th though and looking forward to playing!

Have a safe trip!

I won't start the main Amherst plot until Monty returns, so feel free to RP in any of the locales.

Just want to note how much I am loving all the preludes. Great job everyone!

Monty should be back soon an we can start the main Amherst game. Rhysgandy prelude are wrapping up quickly.

I'm back! Ready to rp!

Excellent!

I'll be opening the first Amherst Chapter soon. It takes place the next night after your prelude. Please continue any side RP you may be doing earlier in the day, I love it.

I will be away adventuring the cyberpunk landscape at NeoTropolis (www.neotropolis.com) this weekend, but back posting Monday. I will post today.

Thanks!

Gerald - I'm assuming that given the current weirdness Monty just doesn't notice the Glamour. I don't even know how that would come across to a mage TBH. He's likely brush it off as a phenomena of the pyramid anyway :-)

Yeah, it wasn't any kind of flashy effect, at least as far as I understand. :) It would probably have been visible to a Prime 1 see-Quintessence type Effect if you have one of those running, though.

Er, could you please not imply that my character has fallen into a coma just because I didn't post for a few hours? :p Gerald would be right behind you. He's sworn to protect you, and he'll face severe consequences if he fails. He's definitely not just going to stand there staring into space while you wander off into potential danger.

Sorry...I got a private post from the storyteller describing what Monty by himself encountered. I assumed that he did indeed enter alone and that Jerome was hot on his heels. From now on I'll wait before responding.

Appreciate it. :) I'm in Europe, so I'm probably asleep during your most active hours.

That is my fault, I only saw Monty enter so I gave him a PM with what was down there.

Gerald-- just to be clear the enchantment did work on Alba, but she was also receiving visions from the magic staff that she came into possession of the night before and confused the sight of Gerald's true form with the other visions that were coming from the staff.

Heh! Yeah, I kinda guessed. I have a feeling we all got doodads in our preludes. ;)

I edited the post so everyone can see.

I'm waiting for Alba to post first before reacting to the current scene so she can make her introduction :-)

Hee! I feel like Monty and Alba just gave Gerald a long, flat look after he stopped talking, and then turned back to each other and were like, "okay, so meanwhile, over here in the smart people's conversation..."

I also think that that probably happens to Gerald a lot. :D

Forgive my sluggishness. Busy week!

In reply to Gerald Hardhead (msg # 45):

It’s difficult trying to maintain some kind of simulation of real-time pace between multiple people engaged in dialogue over an online forum while the players in limited in the amount of time we’re able to get onto the game with the business of real lives.

In this moment Alba is reacting to Gerald’s description of the interaction between worlds with an immediate “let me see that!” to Monty more out of reaction to what Gerald is describing. It’s just harder to convey the actual dynamic over an online forum.

Waiting in Alba to say what she's come up with, or for Monty to indicate that he's moving on. :)

Sorry folks, I had an insanely busy weekend between homework and traveling out of state for a training event with a nonprofit I’m part of. I will post tomorrow.

Rhysgandy, Prince Arclin peeps, What's going on? Is everything ok?

Sorry for delays! Work has been rough!

Updates today
