[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

Sorry for my absence -- the charger to my notebook went "snap-crackle-pop" and I've been without a computer since Tuesday.
 
Sorry about the slow response. I'm getting ready for a knee operation tomorrow morning, and have been dealing with all the blood work and MRIs that needed to be done before hand. Once I get through the worst of the recovery in a day or two, I'll have plenty of time to get back on the horse and do some serious posting.
 
Oh. I already had that. More goodies! But which goodies, I ask you?!


Do we pay xp for backgrounds acquired in game using charms and hard work?
 
An infusion of fresh blood might help out and get things moving a bit faster. This is a high scale game with characters from the First Age. Absolutely no Infernals. They are a upcoming Evil Bad Guy thread. But, what we have right now is a Lunar, a Sidereal, and a couple of Solars. Lets see, available classes are Elder Dragon Kings, more Solars, more Lunars, Fae (with a good reason), Sidereals, Dragon Blooded and Abyssals. What tickles your fancy?
 
Hmmmm..... I'm kinda Interesting in the Lunar's and Solars- let me take a look at the Fae and Elder Dragon King's Rather quickly, before deciding... but... I do have an Older Lunar concept floating around, I'll admit.
 
Character write-ups are using the 2.5 errata, and for a Lunar, use the Established Lunar stats from Dreams of the First Age with 100 xp. You would be a 200 to 300 year old member of the Silver Pact that has heard about the return of the Solars to the city of Rathess and their push to drive the Deathlord Mask Of Winters out of Thorns.
 
Right. These characters started out with 25-30 Charms to begin with, and then there is the xp added on top of that. If you were interested in a Dragon King or a Fae, I'd have to come up with an extra bonus to start you off with to make it even for you.
 
You may also consider an elder Dragon Blooded. The head of one of the Great Houses would probably be a decent power level, or one of the Immaculate Grandmasters.

Anyone able to give me a rough timeframe for what time period I was alive in, if it was 300 or so years ago?
If you're asking what was happening 300 years before gamestart, that very much depends on where in Creation you were, but nothing big pops up on the timeline I have.
 
Farther back than that, I believe. The Empress was in power for several hundred years before this time, and she was in charge after the Shogunate fell.
 
Ah. That kind of time line. We are currently around 767 RY, that is years after the Empress took control. The Shogunate lasted some indefinite period before that, generally taken to be between 500 and 1000 years, and before that the First Age lasted around 3500 years.


So 300 is old, but not ancient.
