One of my IRL players is interested in joining with a blind PC.

Hmm. That would be interesting.

He's trying to decide if it'd be part of his high concept or his trouble.

Ooh, it would be even more interesting if it weren't his trouble.

if it's an aspect, it should be "Blinded by the Light"

that or "She Blinded Me with Science"

Heheh.

I changed my character's name from William to Wil so that his Real Name can be a suitably embarrassing secret.

?

He's not telling.

Wilhelmina.

!

Shh.

I came this close to being Minerva--after a reef.

Not a bad way to go.

They could have named you after the whaleship the reef was named for.

A subtle difference, but having to introduce yourself in formal settings as "the S.S. Minerva" could be problematic.

I'm rolling an idea around in my head for a game setting, where when humanity went to the stars we discovered that something about our planet was repressing latent magical/psionic abilities in some large percentage of the population, so people leave the planet and start developing powers.

I was thinking FATE just because that's what I've been studying up on, but I'm not sure about the fit.

Probably a better ask for the main chat.

@Problematic Perhaps we can take the wizards' base/home/academy out of the Enchanted Forest? It seems thematically appropriate for all the PCs to not consider the Forest their home, but rather see it as a place one goes when desperate/ambitious.

If that interferes with your concept, though, no problem, we can keep the wizards in the Forest.

@BESW that sounds good; it also makes the forest an "appropriately dickish place" to hide his staff, instead of "we couldn't be bothered to be creative, so we just stuck it over there"

@BESW This will also make it possible/easier for the characters to cross paths with each other.
