Shadow of Ascanor (A&B) OOC

This thread is for everybody playing, watching, or curious about the Shadow of Ascanor games. All of the concepts that were submitted to the game impressed me to the point where I wanted to see each character's story unfold, so instead of leaving anyone out, I split them into two games.

It's interesting to see how the groups have already started to differ in their approach to the game with their introductory posts, and I love both. I feel like I'm running a Vincent Price double feature!

Found my way here!


In case anyone was curious: Bēl-Ṣullulim is ancient Babylonian, it means Lord/Master of the Dark/Obscure. Thought it was an appropriate appellation considering the games' theme.

That my friend is rad.

Nee'


Nee'?


It wasn't my intention of running two GMPCs, but now I am. And I'm okay with that.

I was curious about this - thanks for the clarification.

I've held off reading the other group's gameplay and discussion threads, because I don't want to spoil anything. But I thought I'd ask here if it is OK to read those threads?

How's the other gameplay shaping up? Differences, similarities? I imagine that at some point things will diverge quite a bit, but I'm not sure we're there yet.

Don't worry about it, go ahead.

Actually, the games are already developing some diverging themes. Game A feels more mystical and game B more gritty. Group A, in spite of their initial bickering, has already made it to Chaste, though they didn't have the encounter with Guy Severin. I'm throwing things in based on who's in each party.


Interesting. I'll definitely check out A's gameplay thread. It seems like fun to compare and contrast. I like the tone of our game - gritty is a good way to describe it.
