I know it's belated, but you've got my well-wishes too.
Also the offer to draw a bunch of terrible stick figures under your advisement to help KoC continue.
I'm going to say that's Painter, using the scratchboard tools.
I like it a lot. <3 Good to see the whole group together.
(And yes. MoEP:Abyssals does specify that Abyssals who accept a Black Exaltation as children get stuck as children. They physically don't age--although it also specifies...
"Correct" fallacy or not, you still don't get the point I was attempting to make. xD
And that's nice, but the question was more directed to the people who were discussing why sorcery wasn't much use in combat-heavy games.
Exaggeration, not a straw man. :] You missed the point entirely.
Then the question becomes, though, is making sorcery cheaper to acquire going to make people more likely to use it in combat-heavy games?
Which is one thing. So is Death of Obsidian Butterflies. If there were only three useful Charms for each type of Exalted, how would you feel about their "utility"?
What about the possibility of an Abyssal triumph that ends up ripping the Neverborn out of Creation without having everything hemorrhaging into the Abyss? ?_?
Granted I bring this up because I have an Abyssal who intends to DO this, but...
You were trying to argue that Sorcery is more accessible than Charms, which makes it more flexible and therefore in need of more crunch-side restrictions (like higher XP costs, useless starter charms, etc.). But Charms, while not AS flexible, aren't restricted to one Exalt type only, and--...
Well, the pheromones were supernatural influence, so I didn't count that.
I'm sure he probably does like her that way--but unlike a lot of the men who meet her/she meets, she doesn't have the, err, stopping power when applied to Misho.
xD ouch. I guess your ST isn't big on retconning something like that. ;)
Still, it's funny in retrospect. Has the rest of that group forgiven you?
Also, feature-not-bug was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. ;) I imagine there might still be rogues for whom accidentally driving a village...
And, if house ruled, you can have Solars picking up the mirror charm for that. ;P Which still doesn't answer the fact that there's two castes who can collect non-type Charms. Charms are more flexible than you're admitting in terms of who can acquire them; simply because their type-specific...
I wanted to preserve a conversation that came up on the open-ended game where I'm intending to play my Abyssal Promise of Passage. We were discussing details of Passage's background, and wandered into some very weird territory.
Maybe someone else will find it funny. ;)
pff, not unintentional (to my reading), just an unintentional parallel to a relatively obscure snippit of near-eastern religious lore.
Okay, NOT relatively obscure if you play Mage. but relatively obscure otherwise!!
(...but I second wanting to know how Misho came by Thrice-Radiant within...
I will go totally off-topic of the awesome of Ten Winds to say I like the experiment with using the abstract backgrounds to enhance emotions. It works quite well.
mmm, ball pit with sexy courtesans.
(Also, c'mon. Nova is an attention whore; how many attention whores do you know that don't...
Passage (the Abyssal in progress) may or may not run into his Lunar ex-mate at some point in the game I'm working him up for. I am thinking they had one of those all-consuming friendships that transcend death, but weren't lovers. Passage's First-Age incarnation was a monastic sort of Zenith...
Re: [Fanart] Needs Moar Mew Cai (and Misho)
Sometimes I am in fact too much of a dork for my own good. xD Still, it is an excellent epithet, however you came up with it. ...yes, i am ttly a misho fanthing.
Absolutely you may! And a gallery link is fine; Coronaviridae is my usual internet...
