Who are you again?
Taron turned the freakin world inside out.
I think its possible to make the world forget one person.
In fact, Marvel already ran this storyline, with Sentry.
But given the whole pride position I don't think I'd stay forgotten for long
And taren, we haven't met you don't count
Excuses, excuses...
That's AWESOME DB3!!
Was this on a site, or at a LGS?
Btw,
So excited for Kaladesh to officially release tomorrow!
I actually just got back into Magic. Sadly, no driver's license, so no FNM Kaladesh release this week :(
what is kaladesh?
Newest Magic the Gathering set :)
Btw ML, any posts from Phaez soon? Worried about my little buddy!
The new Chandra looks super gross, especially for this weird counterburn flier deck that I'm building out from the stuff I got from last Friday's draft. But Kaladesh looks better than all of that combined. Really looking forward to playing it.
"Thank you for subscribing to ServoFacts."
"Unsubscribe ServoFacts."
"Thank you for resubscribing to ServoFacts. Did you know that for legal reasons, servos aren't technically considered alive?"
"Unsubscribe ServoFacts!"
"Thank you for subscribing to ServoFacts. Did you know that servos were initially designed to feel pain? Once it was discovered any injury afflicted upon a Servo was likely to kill it outright, they were programmed to feel bliss instead. However, due to association they now experience bliss as pain."
"ARRRGH!"
Sick. Will post when the fever stops messing with my brain. :/
All this talk about soul-trapping and killing champions kinda reminded me of something:
I was actually considering making a villain who killed champions and found ways to prevent the mantle from being passed on-probably via soul trapping-simply to stop the patrons from playing their games and almost destroying the universe every Tuesday.
I just saw the link from Dalesman to the 'Don't be a weird boy' from Road Rovers in response to Kam wanting Tamrin to threaten Krays with his Caster.
I freaking use that line all the time!! Dalesman might be my new favorite player now!! LOL!
Gennosuke has discovered a way to prevent a champion's port from working.
But it will probably only work once, and the Patrons would probably compensate for it.
Only once? Pity.
What's the relation like tween gods, champions and patrons, that share the same 'portfolio'?
Do gods see champions as just powerful mortals, something akin to demigods, equals(doubtful, but ya never know), or other?
Do patrons generally get along with gods who share their concept? Despise them? Would it vary based on the deity in question?(for example, how does Death view gods of death that are evil, and focused on necromancy and the undead vs a neutral god who judges souls and maintains an afterlife?)
That is a good question.
I've previously been told that Grim Sr has something of a working relationship with Death but other than that I have no idea
If I remember correctly, the patrons created the gods before they did the Champion thing.
From what I remember...
The patrons view the various gods like children. They were servitors to the patrons much like angels or the like are servitors to gods. Over time, they had a much more public face, and mortals, began to worship them. The gods took on this role gladly, and the patrons were happy to fade into the background and let the gods manage the day-to-day in each realm/universe, while they managed big-picture things that spanned universes.
Deciding they still needed servitors, after coming to a mutual agreement, they came up with the Champions.

The whole moral story of the patrons is a lot like Bruce Almighty. Give incredible power to flawed beings, and stuff just doesn't go well for anyone.
Broken chains is weird and cool. I just really like gnolls.
They are quite cool

Yeah, doesn't work like that. Best you can do is to put a champion in a coma. Otherwise the rules are such that the Patron can just move on. But they may or may not be happy about it. They are trying to position themselves in certain ways for a long-term purpose that won't make sense until you actually see the whole tangle play out. But I'm kinda feeling like you guys are missing the whole moral ambiguity angle. They're not evil. They're just not good either. They are both and neither. And the alternative is worse. :)

This is close to correct, but missing some key points. The Patrons made the gods, and yes, viewed them like children/servants. (Patrons are in general (not all of them...yes, this is an important distinction) terrible parents.) The gods made mortals, trying to be like their own makers. But then the gods got ideas above their station and thought they didn't really need the Patrons. They could do the job just as well, better even, themselves. So they rebelled. There was a war. At the end of it there were rather quite a few less gods and some definite lingering hard feelings on both sides. But the Patrons realized that the gods couldn't be trusted to be their representatives, so they all got together and created the system of Champions that we currently see, where each Patron chooses a mortal to represent their interests.
The whole moral story of the patrons is a lot like Bruce Almighty. Give incredible power to flawed beings, and stuff just doesn't go well for anyone.
Yeah, pretty much this. Although this story highlights their flaws. They tend to keep their cool much better and not go all stupid when they're not all crammed together and when Fear doesn't keep infecting the others and driving them over the edge all the while heaping the blame on Madness. :)
Facing the end of existence often doesn't bring out the best in beings....
Still feverish. Blech. Everything hurts. But I am far enough through this cold that I can once more distinguish the difference between awake and dreaming. Mostly.
I have a really cool idea for a plotline, but 1) I need to make sure it hasn't already been done(Which I will find out as I read through the backlogs. Don't wanna ask cuz I don't wanna spoil the surprise) and 2) I wanna wait till after the Equinox Festival Ace, Ehos, Ty and others are going to, cuz I want some of them to be involved as well.
Also, Lyn question and suggestion:
1) What does Ephebe currently teach? She's the head mistress for the elementary wing, but she's also a teacher, correct?
2) Perhaps when you are feeling better, and have spare time, a list of known teachers and their classes would be helpful? :)
I have a cool concept for the head of security, if that role hasn't already been filled.
Is Path of War and it's expansion allowed?

Pending final approval, pretty much anything is allowed...
Lyn has allowed Al to take a PoW class as part of his gestalt on a trial basis only. It's not been fully approved, yet.
He hasn't gotten into combat yet, so the verdict is still out, I reckon.
EDIT: He's a Dread 16 || (Soul Hunter) Stalker 6 / Umbral Blade 10.

Aananda is head of security.
Vakkler thought he was :)

Just make sure to run the idea by me to make sure it's not already in process. :)
Ephebe teaches one of the elementary classes. Specifically the one for the special kids i.e. the ones most likely to be a danger to themselves and others. All elementary classes are general ed, unlike how the main school works.
I need to update the list in the campaign info, but it's also posted in this thread. (Thanks LF)

Yep, this. Path of War is an adaptation of a book I don't allow so I am being very cautious about giving it a trial. Best to go with something else for anything you want to bring in soon since I have no set timeline for how long it will take before I decide if it's okay or not.
So, once Ephebe starts teaching again, would Jacob be in Ephebe's class?
Aananda is head of security.I have a cool concept for the head of security, if that role hasn't already been filled.

For now. He got the idea from Ephebe's latest post, where she was talking about Ryleh saying that she thinks Aananda needs to resign from her security duties and just focus on teaching. Ryleh is understandably concerned about Aananda and the babies since Aananda tends to overwork to the point of collapse. She's not really wrong either.
So, once Ephebe starts teaching again, would Jacob be in Ephebe's class?
Fieri was only subbing that one day. Ephebe went back to normal teaching duties the rest of the week that just passed. We glossed over it because they were uneventful days, that's all. And yes, Jacob is in her class.
Vakkler thought he was :)
Vakkler would be awesome (and terrifying) as head of security. :)
In other news....
Has the event at the factory been put on hold?
Damiani's been incommunicado since September 9 (if my search-fu on our threads is accurate), and since it's the one thing holding us up from moving on to the Equinox stuff 'tomorrow' I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something...
Wait, did a week just pass? I'm confused now...
Okay. I knew about that timeskip, I just thought another one was initiated a few days ago. Sorry about that.
And wow. We're almost through an entire day in four months! Woot!
Lyn,
When you're feeling better and up to it, you have two PMs from me. One for my BBEG and one I just sent about the head of security concept.
In which case, Jacob is currently running to find Ephebe. Sorry about the confusion.
Also, assume Djalos helped Sadie take care of Adon while being his normal mute, socially imbecilic self, then once that was taken care, gave a few awkward, canned apologies, then ninja-vanished.

I have enough basic info to keep it going through the first part of the investigation I think. Not sure what happened to Dami and I have no way of finding out. If anyone else knows how to get in touch with him, then please do. It's not like him to not post for a month.
