I&#39;m a professional cynic, but my heart&#39;s not in it.

Nope... although that reminds me I've not played paranoia in ages.

the game of choice for a fun day for all :o)

that or Tunnels and Trolls (mostly for the loads of dice and zany spell names :o)

From:

Which venue is it for?

From:

He'll be for C&A
Can't possibly play another changeling while I have Fox, who's my favourite character
Garou... not really interested
Wraith, nah
Mage, got a character, but not all that excited about
Sabbat, nope, sorry.

From:

T&T! My friend had a (I think) lepricaun wizard type character who had a giant lemming as a familar, who could also cast spells and gave the impulse to leap off cliffs to his master, unfortunately the lemming was considerably tougher than the wizard

Don't tell me George or REMIII's dead!

From:

George was -nearly- dead, praxis of his domain has been taken and he's been exiled which puts him in a really awkward position... after considering all the options (one of which would be to use his many many influence points to rip the city, the masquerade and the prince to bits, possibly killing the game) I decided that he'd sit back, wait a few years or so for the new prince to get himself killed then stroll on back in; which means I'm retiring him basically.

REMIII is still alive, noones got around to killing him yet for some reason...

I'm waiting to find out the results of the whole "Shade situation" before sending off my new character for sanctioning. Until now I've not had anything that needed SANCTIONING at all..although I did have to go to Ozzy to get a funky curse for my Torryfop.

Now, I'm applying for an ANST (I think) clearance Thaum path for my tremere..
And ANST clearance for the character to replace Shade..
and the stupid thing about both, is that it REALLY doesn't make the character any more powerful!! The thaum path will only be at low level to start with, partially due to XP constraints and me rarely playing him, but also cos he's only a very low level apprentice, and once you start hitting the intermediate levels he becomes pretty damned useful..(I don't think I'll be the only person in the country with the power, but at the same time there won't be many of us..only 1 or 2). All the same.....*droooooooool*. As I say, it won't make him hard, or scary or anything, it just fits his background perfectly and is a LOVELY path.

Then the shade replacement, it's a character with "KILL ME" kinda scrawled across it again (Like Vincent had for an entire year and a bit), and this thing I need sanctioning for will also add to the "KILL ME" factor of him, I really wish there was a way you could JUST have an intermediate discipline, skipping over having the basics (even if you still pay the same XP)...without this one thing, the character doesn't quite meld together, and I can't actually GET the power I need at the minute due to not having enough XP on the character at startup, but it's going to be the first thing I buy!

I just really hate paperchains and sanctioning requests are the longest slowest paperchain I know of!!

From:

True on the waiting, but I believe they're very justifyably needed, or we'd be flooded with goob or ridiculous numbers of uncommon clans.

re: Your Thaum; make sure you're allowed IC to start with it as well ;)

Still roughing out my first skeleton for my proposal at the moment...
Currently he requires 1 top level approval and 3 high level approvals... oh dear.

Like i keep on saying REM is the perfect vampire. He is going to be around forever.

Harbinger of skull antitribu?

From:

Maybe if this one doesn't get approved ;)

Harbingers are squiffy!

Death to the Giovanni!

From:

Take two basics in your favourite disc and don't spend your Cam Prestige XP. Attend one Elysium, presto, one XP. Next sess, you've got seven xp, enough to buy an intermediate discipline with change left over.

Simple.

My Tremere is the first character I've had who was embraced outside of my own lifespan; I always like to say, write what you know. There's nothing worse than a player who says "I was in the Order of the Golden Dawn" and doesn't know any members other than Crowley.

Hmm, another guess. Inquisition ghoul infiltrator?

From:

He'd better be :)

From:

Nooooooo!

We're lovely people! Well, the Dunsirn are. At least, the Dunsirn who get embraced by the Torries are. Is.

IC approval isn't a problem for me. My mummy is a Lord with goob coming out of her ears (in a nice way), there was mention of me going from A3 to Acting-Regent cos of the political situation I entered...(I'm appointed to Brum chantry, oh..there IS no Brum chantry, so therefor I MAKE Brum chantry and am in charge of it!) and it's background stuff..I'm still buying things that SHOULD have been on the character at startup to match his history and back story...and the reasons why he's even IN the UK. So I don't need to worry about going and asking people ICLY. (Also got told by Dave he had no problem with me saying "I had approval" IC to cover getting it yonks ago!)

It's just the OOC bullshit. It's NOT a gooby path, it starts getting a little teenytiny bit gooby at advanced...but surely you could have the approval level for the advanced power "cos it's hard to learn" or something. I KNOW it's a rareish path, but it's a path that IS about and is being picked up more and more ICLY....so damnit why does it come down to Andy R??
DST or maybe even RST approval...fair enough...
but ANST???
Damnit all I can do is stop a bloody disk from working!

From:

Nope! heh.

I know, I'm no history buff myself, so I try and learn a good smattering of general facts about the periods in history that the character has been through; victorian has been the furthest back I've dared go so far... this one will be a lot more

From:

Hehe :) I never know what to spend XP on for him, he's got all he needs/uses... ie max social traits and seduction 5 + speciality and aptitude... maybe majesty...

From:

Tzimisce Antitribu Penguin-Master? Like in Batman?

P.S. Need directions to your house for the weekend; I've only been there once. I was going to wear my Canary jacket, fishnets and a leotard, is that okay? Mind you, it's a bugger trying to find stilettoes in my size.

From:

Hehe, I'd get killed if I played that character, OOC!

I'll email you some directions.
