SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The Butcher

Quote from: jan paparazzi;739145I was wondering what kind of spirit the being in the University chapter could be. It gets it power (or it unlocks) when those teachers draw symbols with chalk in a classroom. I can cover what it can do (mostly make people feel menaced) with the numina in the Book of Spirits or in the GMC. Only I am a bit puzzled about the symbols. Mages involved?

A maths or CS professor who teaches Cryptography gets a hold of a Voynich Manuscript-like text and becomes obsessed with deciphering it, attracting the attention of Spirit that once fed on discovery and turns into a Spirit of secrecy, obsession and paranoia. The symbols come from the manuscript and whether they're an Atlantean grimoire, a First Tongue chronicle, a God Machine broadcast or a hoax is up to you. :)

Good. That spirit of discovery/secrecy does it. It could also be a spirit of knowledge. Don't know much about werewolf or mage, but a first tongue chronicle could be a good fit. Bringing in the God-Machine could also work. Thanks!
May I say that? Yes, I may say that!
