Hi everyone. 

I'm not sure if there's interest for this, or if I'd have time to run this, but I'm interested enough, and am finding enough time, that I'd like to open the floor to discussion. 

The Setting is the Old World of Darkness, the game, Mage the Ascension, with the possibility of 2 or 3 crossover characters. 

The core characters are experienced Tradition mages who serve members of the council in the roll that might be called that of Justicar.  (I believe that's a term used in Vampire properly.) 

(More to come.)

Too tired to post Wednesday night. Posts on Thursday!

Muse, I'll join it, if you can promise me that you won't overextend yourself with characters. KISS, my friend, KISS.
I have a shock collar, designed for maximum Player/GM efficiency. If you see that I have not properly been fulfilling my duties in posting regularly, or a game being held back because I haven't posted, PM me and give me hell!

*Grins*  This wasn't one of my NPC heavy concepts. or PC heavy either. 

It is a bit epic, though. 

The characters are rather experienced, beginning with base Arate 5, 15 Spheres instead of 6, and 100 EXP.  The council member whom you represent as "justicar" will also entrust you with a combat related Wonder as a badge of office.  (And I give a free dot in the Avatar background.) 

The mission starts in Miami, (perhaps the home of some of the PCs, perhaps not, but either way they haven't been in Miami for a few months).  One of the more powerful of the Cabals in Miami to survive the destruction of Doistep and associated devastation has disappeared and  is believed destroyed.  The mission is simply to investigate and terminate those responsible. 

The reality is, of course, much more complicated.

I'm kind of interested, but I don't know if I'll have enough time, or if I have the right books.

Tawny

I might be interested, though I have no experience with Mage.  So far, the only experience I have with Whitewolf is playing a couple vampires in masquerade in short lived Vampire games and currently playing a Bastet in a homebrew table top game.

Muse

Mage is more fun than vampire, in my humble opinion, because the Vampires have nothing to fight for and nothing to live for and nothing to die for, so they just kill each other.  (Kind of like cowboys with nothing better to do than shot each other in pistol duels to see who's the fastest gun in the west.) 

The mages, like the bastet and the werewolves, have not only personal objectives, but unifying ones. 

It's also a lot of fun because you get to make up your own spells within the bounds of your spheres.

Tawny

Would you accept a Bastet character? and can you direct me to a good place to read up on the rules of character creation?

Muse

I could allow a bastet, yes, provided that the other three are playing magi.  :) 

Character creation for this specific game?  I haven't put up a board yet.  ^_^;; 

I'm thinking around a rank 3 bastet, at least.

okie dokie  ;) I will wait to see creation and put something together.

Tawny-chan, the is mostly a conventional World of Darkness game, but should erotic content come up, is there anything you'd enjoy? 

Likewise, across the board, where should I put this game?  Section wise?

I just found your ons and offs, Tawny.  You look like a fun gal. 

There's going to be a few antagonists come up who use torture and pleasure to brainwash.  So long as I keep you out of their clutches, will you have any trouble with it?
