That's the one. ...

"Ban 3: Must help for one scene whoever impresses him in a musical duel"

I think this is my favorite part. Reminds me of an old film. I forget the name. Something about a guitar pick? Anyway, the MCs had a rock-duel against Satan. Ah, the good old days~

[ajf115]

Well, we're keeping the Aspect system with minimal changes, and Icons are being kept, albeit somewhat revamped into the quasi-spiritual symbols named Astra (don't worry, they can still be made physical). I... don't think we'll be keeping Halysis, although Rapture is likely to persist in some fashion (mind you, we haven't really discussed that part yet). The morality-type is likely to remains similar to Attachment, although probably with more of an element of 'responsibility and lack thereof'.

The powers are still very much up in the air. We've had ideas, played around with them, swapped...

Out of curiosity, I'm going to ask a question, and the answers (please, anyone who has an opinion, give me an answer) will likely effect the splat hellovg and I are hashing out at present.

Namely, what parts of Demigod did people like best, or think worked especially well, or thought was cool? And more importantly, what did people think were its problems?

[ajf115]

Here's hoping! Also, I can tell you that there are a number of things being kept, in particular Icons (they're being reskinned a little and made more 'spiritual' as Astra) and Aspects, again being retooled a little....

Well, here's the fixed character sheet and the Depths sheet. I did it as a separate thing due to... formatting issues (damn Word).

Anyway:

Leviathan 2-page character sheet

Depths sheet

If these meet with your approval, is there some way I could send them to you properly to put in the central Leviathan folder?

[ajf115]

I'll probably take Vent0 's suggestions, then, and leave an area in each Depth for notes on changes....

[ajf115]

Oh. Whoops. I'll fix that up when I get home. How would you envision the 'Depths' section, btw?...

[ajf115]

It's very late, I know, but here's the first usable version I've got of the character sheet for Leviathan. I apologise for the lack of 'transformation' section, but I wasn't sure how I'd set it up. Also, the little squares were a pain in the ass, and they still look unpleasantly irregular.

[ajf115]

You can, and it'll likely be helpful, as following our initial brainstorming we're still a bit short on the 'common' antagonists for the splat (equivalent of spirits for Werewolf)....

[ajf115]

Ah, I'm afraid I've got some important news related to Demigod which could be construed as either a good thing or a bad one. So here goes.

hellovg and I are going to be abandoning our respective fansplats (my Demigod and his Celestial: the Reclamation) in favor of combining our efforts on one combined splat, of a name not yet decided upon but with a shared concept of 'earthly divinity'. We're not recruiting for help per se at the moment, but if anyone's interested feel free to send me a PM to signal such and we'll see how things go. It may be a little while before we post a full thread...

[ajf115]

Certainly, although it may not be used....

[ajf115]

Thanks for the write-up. I'm very grateful that people are still interested in this. I haven't had time to read it over properly, but I'll do so as soon as I can.

As a bit of a warning, though, I'm intending to go over what's been done for Demigod so far and re-assess many parts, particularly the mechanics for Miracles, the whole deal with the Drasil, Titans, Teras and similar. I want to try and remodel the whole to be more closely connected to the human world, to make demigods' power more fragile and reliant on power bases (e.g. cults, arcane geometries of ley lines, churches, places...

Indeed! I was re-watching bits and pieces of the series and came to the bit with the Library and just went "... Holy fuck, Wan She Tong is a Beast, right down to the mysterious Lair"...

An Ugallu Collector who maintains a vast collection of knowledge, both natural and supernatural. The common stuff's kept in the material world, but the rare books, the grimoires, treatises on blood sorcery and names of ancient spirits are kept in her vast library-Lair.

Another Eshmaki, taking a break and listening to the Horror whispering in their ear.

KILL IT WITH (DRAGON)FIRE!...

[ajf115]

I'd say that it could, but you'd still need some kind of magical/occult doorway/passage/portal, and (most of them) don't grow on trees....

[ajf115]

I'm on my phone at the moment, but I'll post some more specific thoughts when I can.

[ajf115]

I hate to say it, but that's not what Atavisms are. Atavisms are the manifestations of mythic attributes of a Horror, not something that develops the abilities which arise from a Beast's nature as a being of both Dream and physicality.

That's not to say that some of those couldn't be re-worked into something more fitting, but as they are now, they're jarring at best....

[ajf115]

In the same way any powerful-but-weird ghost can, so long as they're not bound. If they are, they have to work through the Sin-Eater as a proxy....
