Lando, Black Jade is the Water aspect's Jade, you might want to change it to Green Jade artifacts.

 

[CrazyIvan]

Will try to get my guy up in the next day or so.

 

[cletius]

Just to confirm, we're using the Errata-ed DBs, right?

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

yes, we are using the errata

 

[cletius]

Mm, thanks for the clari. Any preference on which dice rollers we use?

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

no preference, just as long as it can save your rolls.

 

[CrazyIvan]

He's up in full, probably riddled with errors. The goal is kind of the classic upright, honest, loyal-to-a-fault soldier, whose hit a rough patch.

 

[cletius]

Any heads up on when we're starting? :mrgreen:

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

We're waiting for Axelgear to post his character. But if he doesn't within the next few days, we'll start this, and he can join in afterwards.

 

[Lando The Archmagi]

I purposely picked black jade for its enhancements per the information on different types of Jade.


Is there a problem with using Jade not associated with your aspect?

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

Not that I'm aware, except it might raise suspicions from other Dragon-Blooded for your choice. So more of a social penalty.

 

[Lando The Archmagi]

Well, this is my first Dragon Blooded pc, so if you think green jade would work better I can flip them around. I'll gladly take any advice.

 

[Brekkir]

Quick question: is the prelude supposed to be open to all? It wouldn't make much sense for a Dragon Blooded from the military to be admitted inside the Heptagram (which is a very reclusive institution, according to my understanding), even if invited by a member.


Not that Kilam would have anything against Piacu


By the way, is Piacu from a specific House? According to his backstory, his bloodline was absorbed into one of the Great Houses, but it is not specified which.

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

The Prelude begins with Kilam. We'll assume you all know one another to varying degrees. Obviously if Kilam wants to follow the lead he'll need other fod... eh, Dragon-Bloods to go along with him.

 

[Brekkir]

Oh, I already know that we know each other - my question was related with non-sorcerers moving freely inside the Heptagram.

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

Oh no, only the sorcerers among the group will be allowed in the Heptagram at this point. No clumsy soldiers moving around precious occult lore.

 

[cletius]

Whoops, my bad.

 

[Brekkir]

A few questions : what do we know of Sylvia? Is she a typical partygoing Cynis, a cunning politician, a courtesan-spy? She has no public background story (or at least I saw none)

 

[Brekkir]

The Thousand Correct Actions of the Upright Soldier is out, will we have access to the goodies contained therein? Like those Charms that allow to waive elemental surcharges for out-of-aspect charms that nonetheless use the character's elemental aspect (like Elemental Bolt or (Element)-Body Defense or Dragon-Graced Weapon), or the brand new Dragon-Blooded training Charms...

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

You will, though I don't expect Mass Combat rules to be used much at the begining.

 

[Brekkir]

I guess we can move on to the next scene - the gathering of heroes!

 

[Brekkir]

I have a feeling that Sylvia's player will not be returning. Not logged in a week, doesn't respond to my requests for background on Sylvia... I'm beginning to think it's the kind of low-postcount board member who didn't stick around and left without a notice to fellow players.

 

[Lando The Archmagi]

I'm still here and intending to play, I've just had a lot of RL stuff going on, some of them not so good. I am losing my job (getting laid off), I fell and injured my right side/back last Wednesday and my computer crashed last weekend.


I'll do up a little background in the next couple of days.

 

[Brekkir]

As callous as it may sound, we may have to move without Sylvia. Assuming no other players dropped out.

 

[cletius]

I'm here!
