Three is difficult in my experience. if 5 is unmanageable then go with four. That sentiment would work with any traditional GM, but I'm of a mind to tell a good story, and if the crunch doesn't like it, the crunch can stuff itself. Stop worrying Sam, you made the top three.
Nice going Wolin! It's not a bad spell list, at least.
Here. Thanks! Here's hoping they can make room for it. I knew it was a fool's hope to have it before Strange Aeons; I'll just have to go with something else.
Hey Mark! Any news yet concerning the Harrow Medium?
(and the Chambers fan as well) I appreciate the inclusion.
Brennus stoically observes the "debate" from his chair, arms folded across his chest. She's made some fair points.
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!
Background: Born of a guildsman father and an old-blooded noble, Marris has known only resentment from his large maternal family. Gifted an insatiable ambition and curiosity, Marris turned the ire of his family against them and learned the dark secrets of his “noble” lineage. He lives under the name of his father, and vows to make that name synonymous with his dread power. Appearance: Marris dresses finely, his dark beard is sharply cut and his balding hair kept short. Built tall and firm, he surprisingly favors unconventional weapons like the rope dart and cane sword. His most striking features are his grey-blue eyes that appear to burn with some unquenchable inner-fire.
Duck Fitzgerald Hahaha!
Brennus waves off the conversation with Benny, "Do what thou wilt dreamer. May thy foolishness doom only thyself."
He can indeed.
Maybe all of you will. I'm a second row fighter in magic armor, I'll have plenty of time to strategically retreat and inform your soon to be grieving families. It's a sad burden to bear, but I will do it for you, because it's the least you deserve, dearest of friends I've only met briefly in the underground.
I confess to not liking halflings and gnomes because they remind me of Kender, and I hate Kender. I'll also confess to loving Steampunk once.
@ Jalel, seriously, you favorited your own post? Hahahaha! Brilliant.
"Hmph, simpletons. Clearly, I should be your Duke!" If you added some enchantment spells and Perform: Singing, you'd only be a few kidnapped babies away from a channeling certain fae lord of goblins and labyrinths. I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
Gah! The Post Office is holding my book hostage! They never deliver the important stuff when they say they will.
Bathe, or don't bother showing up.
In the future I would like to see a medium archetype where you only have access to a single spirit.
Having read through the book, my first OA character is going to be a Relic Channeler Medium who communes with the spirits of an ancient Ninshaburian king and his royal council. Finally, a way to creatively express my love for ancient Mesopotamian culture. I'm going to go ahead and upgrade the spirits to Ninshaburian gods.
That may be true, I'll post what I come up with soon.
Thematically, the ability would look best in Insanity Defense. In my opinion, Lost Identity is a great way to play well with others, since this sort of character is leaning toward CE anyway. My biggest problem is with Babble, but it's nice having something to make babbling not suck so much, aside from Azata's Whimsy.
Hey Mark, are the spirit bonuses printed in OA standard going forward? Speaking in relation to the harrow medium of course. I have the same curiosity concerning Spirit Surge. What I would like to do is jury-rig the playtest medium to incorporate the new material.
Mad World's count as a STR spirit when you roll "attack nearest creature" seems fairly specific, but I would love, LOVE, for it to count when you go on a murder spree of self defense.
I'm excited to see the movie.
They're beyond human comprehension. Trying to understand their motives can only drive you mad. Nyarlathotep wants to usher in the end times, furthering the influence and domains of his ilk. Hastur and Groetus are variations on the same thing, except for Hastur being a extrovert and an independent author that surreptitiously leaves copies of his book in your house. It's there in the source material, if you're willing to look for it. The unknowable is just an excuse to embrace ignorance and let something outside of ourselves take the responsibility of the course of our lives. It's a seductive impulse, and one that humanity is very fond of. The King is an archetype of human experience, the decision maker, the father. He could be Ulfen or Kellid, from the description. The theme of the character is one of (recent) ancestors guiding the character from beyond the grave, and Ulfen and Kellid blood does run through many of the families in Ustalav. So I conjecture that this King is the "father's father's father" of the character, and represents the CHA based spirits that Erasmus has access to.
Good luck to the customer service and shipping departments! Thank you for helping bring Christmas around early this year.
Erasmus is a great example of Ustalav's flavor, a delicious flavor at that. I'm looking forward to the class details that are forthcoming. |
