Character Creation & OOC

GraniteFair on the Unicorn (Though note it does allow vs Bloack spiral dances, and is only a difficulty boost, not ofrbiddance). And yeah unfortunately Diana and Patrick are very much opposites. She believes in honour, tradition and following the rules, so wouldn't want to be associated with a trickster spirit. She also would be grumpy at the rat Totem but I can actually see that one benefitting everyone hence the 'she may get outvoted'.

Granite and Nerigal are also interesting.

As said if other want to go for Mammoth could be interesting. She may end up losing favour with it at some point but can see that being drama/character advancement rather than just her forever being locked out. She might even suggest mammoth herself in an attempt to prove that contrary to what Patrick says being leader is not for her personal gain .

I played a lot of NWoD where the standard target number for a success was 8 (which is what our standard difficulty of 6, then +2 penalty from the totem would be). It was a chore to get successes as it was in our IRL game, and GP's dice roller has it out for me. Lol

Owl wouldn't be terrible.

Hey all. Still alive. Turns out I am having my first round of Covid. My last vaccination was 15 months ago so it hit me like a bad flu. On the upnote I have most of my faculties back by now so I'll try to catch up this game at least since it seems everything is hinging on Misha. Just... give me some time.

I am glad your getting better

This is a newbie question, but is it possible for the pack politics to turn into a situation where Alpha has a sort of "minority" rule?

Yes- absolutely it is.

Also- there can just be challenges. The Litany (Werewolf law) says that the Leader can be challenged any time outside of war-- so yes, theoretically any member of the pack could demand combat trial anytime basically.

And you will never need a story, because challenging for leadership will consume us. 🤣🤣

Unexpected, but it will be interesting to see where it goes.

There absolutely is story planned.

Nah, I meant if we could truly challenge for leadership at any time outside of war (which ended)... may as well scrap your story. The fight would never end. There wouldn't be time for anything else. 😂

"This is your 137th rematch. Is this really how we're spending Thursday? Again?" Someone in charge, probably.

Just to be clear, in-game, there are a variety of things happening concordantly. We aren't all in the room while Misha is being offered work for us, right?

Correct. It was stated she was summoned to the caern, and made pretty obvious she went alone.

I assumed that Paul wasn't on site, but it wasn't necessarily as obvious that Diana and Patrick weren't arguing in the background while Misha was having this talk. Sort of like when the kids are swept aside so the grown-ups can talk.

Others may have been in the room when Misha announce where she was going and saw the little altercation between her Diana, then she left to meet the sept.

That was all covered in narration though.

Can people still smoke indoors in the World of Darkness? Misha needs her cig. :D

I mean- you CAN, but my world of darkbess assumes that other than supernatural stuff we are in a clone of the current world (well 3 years ago), so it is illegal to do so-- but whose stopping you? The police?

And by "crack" I mean "vitae." 🤣

I'm going to be away this weekend. I'll probably be able to post, but no guarantees.

OK, it's been a while since I played WtA, but wasn't there a way to peek through the umbra?

Dammit, now I'm going to have to try and look it up or it'll nag me all day.
