I have The Boredom, and it feels like it's been a while since someone introduced a forum game, so here we go.
Things begin when I drop in a fictional Charm name at the end of my post. The next poster then describes its general effect, splat of origin, and Ability/Attribute/whatever tie, and then ends with one or more (let's say no more than three) new fictional Charm names for the next poster to define. If there are multiple Charm names, the new poster doesn't need to feel obligated to define all of them.
Minor ground rules for how loose this is meant to be:
- A name doesn't need to be defined as a Charm: the new poster could say it's a Sorcery spell, Evocation, Rank, Knack, innate ability on a behemoth or other creature, whatever.
- Given the above, "Splat of origin" and "Ability/Attribute/whatever" may not neatly apply, but eh, just give some idea about what uses it and how.
- Non-canon splats and the like -- whether written up, conceptualized, or made up for the sake of the answer -- are A-OK! Just try to give some vague notion of what they are. Ditto utterly speculative concepts.
- Mechanics and balance (for any or no edition) are fine if you wanna, but a general and cool effect for the name is the important thing.
- If you're moved to develop details in an answer in addition to those three, go nuts with sharing them!
- NEW (12/21/14) : If a full week has passed without any response to the current name(s), a new poster may respond to any unused prior name. Try to aim for something recent, though no biggie.
... Oh, and apologies to anyone coming in here disappointed for having expected something related to Dexter's Laboratory. >_>
EDIT: Around two weeks later, the whim has struck me to listing all of these in a log. Just the first page for now, I think. I may add descriptions and a second list sorting them all into categories, but that'll come later.
