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.

Locathus

Quote from: Xenon;340480all-read after the fact, anything before that and you could get a weird political impact from non-wardens. once the meeting ends, if there were any servants around then they would naturally talk about it.

I think this makes the most sense from a game realism standpoint.

SunBoy

Quote from: Locathus;340578I think this makes the most sense from a game realism standpoint.

I'm cool either way, so whatever the majority chooses.

And jibba and Xenon, maybe I should just retcon and say Silas of the house of (an already existing one), whaddayasay? My main interest was the guy, a nice little NPC. House is no problem, as long as it doesn't have any too-strong alliances to other Wardens. Or the wiki page sounds fine, too. That would have to wait like, three days at least, but I could do it after that.

I agree with the Sanctum meeting being open to read by anyone.

Stormwind

Having it readable by all after the meeting is concluded sounds fine to me.

I have caught up on the various threads and I have posted a trump of Constantine and updated the Trumpreader app to use Spoken Truths Trumps. So now you can all run Trump Scrys for the familiy.

There is a new Trumo Deck on its way, pending the positions of Dukes. The Military Deck is an item created by Gregory after a discussion with Lazarus. A deck is given to each Military Commander, Warden, Duke and Master. It depicts each of them and is used for rapid military communications. Full protocol for using the deck will be made available.

Things might be quite for a week. Aside from a bugger of a DB audit at work I have a Murder Mystery to write for a hotel. Its in 2 weeks awa there are 60 paying guests and I haven't started it yet :)
I will still post but from work in between meetings so don't expect anything revolutionary.

IMO jibba, take the time you need, you are doing so much for us already, we can handle the Sanctum stuff for now... right guys?

BTW, can I have a link to the powers table/costs anyone?

Powers.
This is the page http://www.jibbajibba.com/amber/rules_of_play/powers.html Now there is no absolute cost. Basically you can put as much into a power as you liek then we work out what you can do with it. So you could stick 50 in Pattern but have a very different set of skills to the basic ones. You could say drop all shadow walking and focus on the patern lens and pattern magic.

Rey is an NPC and Helel is played by Shattersterm but he hasn't been about for a while and his preview thread is untouched
Also Croaker doesn't ahve the tiem to take part so I am playing that character as well.

Argh. Aaaaaargh.

I botched my "follow who's voting for who" roll not just once but twice. I feel so lame (or "tardy" as Jibba puts it). Shall I rewind a bit and clean up the mess or shall we assume Degion is high on dope (snorting crushed jewel of judgment I guess)?

Right the Murder mystery went very well I am totally shattered. I think the mistake was going out with my actors on Friday night to a lapdancing bar (two of them work there) til 4am then walking home, still in costume, finding I had forgotten my house keys somewhere so having to spend the night in my car. Now this isn't terrible if I didn't have act 2 to write for 10 actors on the saturday ready for saturday night.
So .. in any case I case I will catch up with the threads over the next few days.

LOL, sounds like you're a pretty down-to-earth guy jibba, one leg at a time, etc.
Hope your recovery is spent with much time smiling and less time groaning.

Luck to you.

@jibbajibba: I'm going to be flying to the other side of the world, leaving tomorrow. I'll arrive on Wednesday and obviously won't be able to post during the flight(s). ;)
