    [Shadows of Nexus] Tavern Talk

    Ok I'm hopefully back... I was moving, and in the process of doing so, I lost access to my computer and probably won't regain use of it for an indeterminate amount of time... Certainly not in the foreseeable future. I've also had issues with my phone not functioning (or charging) and so have...

    [Shadows of Nexus] Niara Shadowleaf, Rising Sorceress

    Just raise the cost of Seven Shadow Evasion to 6m (+1Wp). The cost of all perfect defenses was increased to 8m in the Errata, but I kinda don't like the fact that Seven Shadow Evasion's cost was increased by 167% when the others were only increased by 100%, so I set it to 6m instead. So unless...

    [Shadows of Nexus] Niara Shadowleaf, Rising Sorceress

    The Errata doubled the cost of perfect defenses because they were simply too spammable. One of my houserules also alters them, removing the Flaws of Invulnerability (which I absolutely despise) and replacing them with a +1wp surcharge if the Charm is being used against an effect that it would...

    [Shadows of Nexus] Tavern Talk

    Glad to see you back! Your character seems interesting and fills a gap in the capabilities of the party. I haven't yet looked over the sheet in detail, though I did notice both a rank 4 Art and Manse... We'll have to discuss those (especially the Manse) over the next few days to determine the...

    [Shadows of Nexus] Shadows Rising

    The newly formed trio departs the luxurious office of the Hierarch Lady Artemisia Sapphire, and heads toward Sentinel Hill to reconvene at Avexi's abode and discuss plans and prepare for completing the task ahead of them.

    [Shadows of Nexus] Tavern Talk

    Yeah, I wasn't very clear with my response about how to post. I'm not gonna have a new thread for every scene, but I think I'll probably have a new one for each major location, so the thread that Lexi created will become one of those. The location threads will be treated much like the location...

    Pausing for a moment to allow everyone to speak before beginning, Lady Sapphire offers a slender hand and a wry smile, "I am pleased we could come to this very equitable agreement." Upon finalization of the verbal contract, Hierarch Artemisia pulls a parchment from a drawer in her exquisite...

    I'm terribly sorry for all the delays. The holidays, in combination with some personal matters that suddenly arose have kept me far busier than I had anticipated and so I haven't been able to do more than glance at the responses here. Luckily now that the holidays are over, I should be able to...

    [Shadows of Nexus] Shadows Rising

    Listening intently to each in turn, Lady Sapphire seems to consider her response carefully before finally speaking, directing her attention to Skies, "I have detailed knowledge of where Free Spirited Arvia was last seen, and am fully prepared to not only divulge such information, but also intend...

    Sadly, our resident Bunny, HolyFireX, has expressed the need to drop from the game. In his place, Exthalion will be stepping up as Dawn Caste, whenever his character is ready.

    [Shadows of Nexus] Strategy Room

    The following is the posting format for actions involving any dice rolls or Charm use... Borrowing a piece of Lexi's post for the example. "Perhaps I will accept this offer, and perhaps my comrades might have asked for less, but I will not do so without some regard as to whether or not I will...

    Finally, after long moments of waiting, the door to a side room opens, and a woman who could only be the Hierarch Sapphire glides through. Her attire is impeccable, with not even a wrinkle to be found in her garments. Her raven hair that is held in place by a golden tiara, while not as wondrous...

    Sorry for the delays. I've had lots of stuff going on that's been taking my attention. I should be able to move this along later on tonight or tomorrow morning when I get back home :)

    [Shadows of Nexus] Shadows Rising

    Nexus... The jewel of the Scavenger Lands. A jewel that is also a cesspool of schemers and swindlers who don't want to be exposed. Nexus is a land of freedom and choice, home to people from all walks of life, from arrogant aristocrats to lowly commoners, to those who've resorted to thievery and...

    [Shadows of Nexus] Tavern Talk

    The campaign you're mentioning is decidedly a fair bit higher powered than this one is... A DB, even with maxed out traits, would be getting 5 + 5 + 3 + 8 + 4(ish) = 25 dice, costing 4m to do it... A "normal" (by which, I mean stats that were chosen for RP purposes and not minmaxing) DB would be...

    [Shadows of Nexus] Tavern Talk

    It's not so much a head start as it is a chance for those who are done to post something and have their characters meet (if they don't already know each other) while waiting for others to finish their chars... As for the Szmiya, I agree with Lord-Leafar in that they feel a fair bit too...

    [Shadows of Nexus] Niara Shadowleaf, Rising Sorceress

    I understand that. However, how often are they gonna be in social conflict? When they're summoned, they'd pretty much be told, "Stay immaterial until there's a threat, then guard me," meaning that they simply follow you around with nobody even knowing they're there, just to suddenly materialize...

    Szmiya look like they might be ok, though I'm not entirely sure about the +2 to all DVs. That gives them more DV than most starting Solars could even hope to get, all for 20m, 1wp... Which will be recovered by morning. I think I'd feel better about them without that bonus, bringing their PDV...

    First, sorry about any delays I may be causing. I've been really busy the past couple days, and will probably be a bit busy tomorrow as well, but I should be able to make a post to get this started within a couple days. That will allow the people who have their characters ready to post, and give...

    [Exalted] Shadows of Nexus

    The waitlist is mostly just for people to express interest so that if or when I get to a point where another character can join, I can quickly and easily pull one of the people on the waitlist into the game with only a few days of delay in creating the character, rather than waiting for more...
