Addicted to Mystery: What do you want to see in the Fallen World Chronicles?

[wyrdhamster]

Is the Fallen World Chronicle going to have something similar to the Pack Creation guidelines that were featured in the latest Idigam Chronicle. I find that getting the characters together is the hardest part of any RPG - and let's be honest, The Broken Diamond and The Man Comes Around weren't exactly smooth about it - and I'd love to see something that makes it easier to bring a Cabal together.

I found new Packs of Werewolf more cult-like than nowdays Cabals from Mage - so this tells something. I will surely steal the system from Werewolf to Mage, but incorporating some unique elements for cabals in FWC would greatly enhance mood of the game.

In my games? Never; wich makes me sad as I love sleepwalkers and proximi

One of my new players come to game with idea of sister in catatonic state. In game we played this that her state was result of Mind magic from Seers of Throne that used her Astral Space as meeting place. When players cleansed her from Seers influance, it was realized that sister becom Sleepwalker from long exposure to magic, even unconciesness.

Is FWC on track like Idigrandma Chronicles? I know we've been getting a lot of informal spoilers, but I have to admit I'm hankering for Mage.

It seems to be on schedule, which is to say not a whole lot has been done so far. Well, I'm sure, judging by previews and hints we've been getting for almost a year, Dave has a setting bible and maybe the outline done up. First drafts definitely aren't even started. This is all okay and going according to plan, though

So award them for in-game actions, let the players see their utility and help in designing/running them.

We have met up yesterday to create the sheets of a new mage game, we stoped right before asigning the Merits (they had to leave) so hopefully I can "sell" them the idea.

I may try to introduce some relatives of the characters as sleepwalkers or just sleeper prone to Awakening at some point, to see how they deal with it.


By the way, what happened to the stopgap thread about running mage with GMC rules?

It never got stickied, so it fell to the 2nd page. Direkt Link

Thanks man, I've searched the two pages and just couldn't find it, guess my mind was playing tricks on me

The bible and outline were just approved. So it's now in Writing.

So we will see A Dev Blog soon on the main page? I love my weekly dose of Idigam!

'Just' approved? Like, I guessed at the book's status and basically nailed it? fk ya

I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if they waited until Idigam Chronicles out and about before they started on doing any Fallen World dev blogs

Why? Out of interest.

I wouldn't call that a pleasant surprise, myself, at all, but I'm impatient like that. But really, no reason you can't build up hype for two books.

I am eager to hear more about rotes myself. At first I thought they would go for "rotes can only be cast with the grimoire, but you dont need the arcana" as the way to make them rare and useful, but now that we know you can still learn rotes I dont know how they will be made more precious. Anyway my vote is the sooner it all comes, the better.

[Thorbes]

About spells, will they still be so sucesses-dependant or we can see them be more like other supernatural powers with 4 posible outcomes (Dramatic Failure//Failure//Sucess//Exceptional Sucess)?

I mean, if a successful cast spell gave a fixed benefit based on Gnosis or Arcana ratings (like vampire Disciplines having durations like: "Blood Potency in days" on a regular success and "Blood Potency in weeks" on an Exceptional one) would it be too bad?
