Aight, cool.

Noted!

(And as a room owner, I can see edit histories.)

THE POWER IS MINE.

@BESW Speaking of which, do you own all the rooms?

I keep wondering about that.

No, just... several.

I started the Spoil-Lair and the Fate chat, so I defaulted to ownership there.

I was granted co-ownership of the Not A Bar, because I'm around more than the room's creator and it's the kind of place that needs someone who can moderate it more regularly.

Don't you own the main room, as well?

After the previous owner didn't log in for about six months, I was given owner rights in the main chat by reason of being the most active user.

(That's an automatic process to make sure a chat doesn't languish without supervision for too long.)

@BESW "And he continued to slowly take power into his own hands, until one day he owned us all, and we never even realised."

There is a prophecy that if I ever truly dominate the star bar in main chat, a BESWpocalypse will descend upon chatkind.

@BESW Starbars are terrible.

The prophecy is vague, and doesn't provide clear criteria for what "dominate" might mean, nor what the BESWpocalypse entails. Some say it's already come to pass.

@BESW It means you cast 'Dominate Star Bar', obviously.

@JoshuaAslanSmith After some digging, I found your @drexel.edu address. Will use that.

@Emrakul @JoshuaAslanSmith Playtest packet is sent, and I've added you both on Skype.

@JoshuaAslanSmith ...or not, it got bounced.

Whoops, wrong chat.

@besw try JoshuaAslan@yahoo.com

Thanks.

You can delete that if you want.

Sent.

@besw no probs, my contact email is all over linked in and my website

should we start character creation now?

are we using a sorta like the books default of chicago or were we going to make a "city" together

Did you get my Skype invite? I think it'd be better to do chargen in a Skype chat where Emrakul can see but we don't have to be careful about not sharing too much of the playtest with the public.

let me launch zee skype

I should also read the documenet lol

Posshibbly.

The document is mostly just setting-specific chargen options and ritual mechanics.

For specific setting... we get to choose what to do.

My Saturday group started with one guy who wanted to play a PC who was on the run for having broken one of the Laws of Magic, and the setting evolved out of that as the party figured out why they'd each be helping him.

....So we're in a remote gang-run island town of the coast of Hawaii.

hah

thats not pulpy at all

We've got a samurai detective and a ninja chemist who each died on opposite sides of the same 17th century Japanese coup (which history does not remember), and were resurrected by Donar Vaderrung to guard the mage who's being hunted by Wardens.

The mage's crime? Using mind magic on a woman to whom objects speak whenever she touches them, to help her sleep at night.

hah

thats pretty in much in tone

Ive always thought Philadelphia worked good for a paranormal game

I played some white wolf game, was probably the Masquerade, set in philly

We've also got a troll-blooded DJ who's going to butt heads with the gang because he's chosen their town as his turf; and a gang enforcer whose anger makes him set things on fire, so he's scarily zen most of the time.

I know very little about Philly.

oh thats fine I wasnt saying we should do it for this but just musing out loud

I think, given the playtest limits, we should first choose our mantles (the nature of our characters' supernatural powers).

Then find a setting to fit that.

Both the PCs' mantles need to be in the same weight class, though; the playtest version of weight class isn't really built to handle variation in PCs that way.

yeah

gotcha

hmmm reset skype password 5 times only to release its not my password thats the problem but the client being unable to reach the servers

uninstalling and reinstalling

Bah!

@doppelgreener Do you have Dan's character sheet, or does he?

@BESW I'm pretty sure he took it home with him
