Google Wave Invites

Yeah I guess you know the drill.

I have 8 to give away.

Still playing with it right now. Trying to think what the hell I will use it for. Lots of others seem to be using it for online PnP roleplay.

Other good news that doesn't need a friends block? Oh my force field work is getting somewhere. I am signing off some Intellectual Property Rights paperwork for Manchester. So it should mean citations/royalties in the future.

So far

Ok Iknow I need to write the update but I have a few things to ask. All very simple.


Character backgrounds:

Hopefully when you have some time just flesh out some of the details on your characters. It's useful for me and yourselves. Hopefully easier to do now you have been using them for a few weeks.

Blue Booking:

Anything you want to roleplay that is too extreme for sessions can always be detailed in a single post.

The same goes for anything that you wish for characters to do/learn between stories.

Plus you can just write stuff for extra xp!

What do you want in the game?

Last thing is that now Vampire has clocked up 6 sessions I would like to know where you want to go with the characters. What type of plots do you want to initiate? I can then design stories or events to draw upon these when you want to go down that route.

Also anything that you wish a character to do in secret please either use a notebook to inform me in game and then it can be expanded upon in a private post here.

Cheers

Loosing friends.

Well it finally came to a head. And at the heart of it all I feel fucked around with by a number of people.

I refer back to this post http://tiny.cc/rLcJP

Basically I tried to extend the olive branch recently to those I felt I had a problem with and they flat out refused to acknowledge Sam. It seems the person I shared the above emails with, in confidence, blabbed it all and so has ruined my attempts to carry on despite it.

Even better the people who have been honest with me (including the one I spoke to in the emails) have flat out denied/lied that they ever had those views. This has then led to Sam being accused of shit stirring.

My conclusion - it seems that these 'friends' don't even speak the truth to each other, so that when person does say something they deny it or just say that they are lying. It's a shame as I thought they were friends.


Well lets just say final nails have been hammered in and it seems those that I thought were the problem either a) are or b) have had the same interference as we have had and so that is why things have been difficult.

Well considering I have not seen these 'friends' in over year then it's no loss really. Just sad because it seems like myself and one of them are very frustrated because we never had a problem to begin with. Sigh.

  • 15:07 I hate how facebook guilt trips you over not speaking to people in ages. Fuck you facebook, I know they are just contacts, not 'friends'! #
  • 15:44 @Ginjarium it's quite neat. Some of the WW writers are using it for online tabletop roleplay. How are the wedding plans? #
  • 16:27 @eddyfate will listen now. :) That and Darker Days podcast and cyberage radio makes work go by so much more easily. #
  • 18:04 home time. Today I feel closer to sorting out funding for the future and now I am in charge of literature meetings for the group. :) #

A Secret Transmission within the Guild

  • 16:02 Last night I finally finished writing up the Seasonal Houses for CtL Venice. Now I am in the position to write the politics and npcs. #
  • 16:03 Oh and it's fucking pissing it down here in Warwickshire. Still undecided on a geist setting. Narrowed down to NYC, Venice or European city? #
  • 16:14 My dear wife has suggested for Geist Moscow, somewhere in Poland, or Versailles. #
  • 16:50 @eddyfate Just fucking lol'd at the comments about the way the Cam players treat the Hedge, like it's a stroll in the woods. Classic #
  • 23:14 So tonight's VtR session should have been the last of the episode, but no, it became 'Oh lets exorcise the Strix, OMG possesion!' #
  • 23:22 Now on googlewave.... need people to connect to to make use of this new device. I can see it being very useful for work. #
  • 23:24 Halloween picture of myself and my wife at Club Antichrist bit.ly/3r2qxC #
  • 23:47 Think I've narrowed my Geist city choice to NYC or Paris, purely because of the influence of Phantom of the Opera #

  • 15:48 Is wondering what city to choose for Geist. I have Manchester UK for VtR, WtF, MtA, Venice for CtL. #
  • 15:49 Plus I plan on running Promethean as a Europe road trip, Manchester to Russia and back again. But where for Geist? Somewhere American? #
  • 15:50 Or maybe Venice again since I have written shit loads for that setting for Changeling (right now working on Court politics for that setting) #
  • 15:53 @digitalraven York would be good. Oh I've got mantle rules for Carnival sort out now. THe court is feeling like a combination of the others #
  • 15:54 @digitalraven .. but with the concept of sacrifice. So they get the magic, the mystery, the fear, paranoia and feeling of loss. #
  • 15:55 @digitalraven but embody the idea of sacrifice, 'farewell to the flesh'. Makes sense for the Lost to say goodbye to their mortal self. #
  • 15:57 @digitalraven I was thinking of looking at the old Wraith books, especially with an eye towards Germany. #
  • 16:00 The wife has suggested LA, San Francisco or NYC. We've both been to NYC plus it's covered in the Geist appendix. #

  • 17:19 My review paper is now with a editor and I have just sent another file for submission #
  • 18:13 @eddyfate that's very neat. I miss having the time/space/resources to wargame. May get back into it sometime once I finish writing stuff. #
  • 18:18 Notes that people still download his incomplete Venice work for Changeling. Last night started on describing the Court system for the city. #

  • 14:04 @jachilli Does look awesome. #
  • 15:03 @eddyfate @Renfield286 My groups past + present do 'chargen'. 'Rollup' doesn't appear, even when we did roll dice when trying out Nephilim #
  • 15:09 @digitalraven True. It took epic amounts of time! What did you make of the changeling stuff? Now plotting for it :) #
  • 15:34 @digitalraven Ohhh.... It sounds either very strange or very scary. My first thought takes me back to Fading Suns. #
  • 15:55 @Renfield286 Thinking that we have a meetup in Brum sometime. Leamington is too boring and is lacking other goths (the count is 4) :( #
