The Shadow Carnevale (OOC)

:D It's like "Ahsa"

Indeed. I have been enjoying this immensely... but also wondering if I should retire and start another game instead, you don't seem to need me anymore. :)

😂
Hey you started this dream thing. You gotta end it for us too. No quitting

Mutter, mutter... OK. If I have to. :)

But someone owes me one! (Or is that just an Urban Shadows thing:) :)

Actually is anyone interested in trying a reverse game? I run it as the player and (two of) you GM me (based on my prompts)?

I have had The Wizard's Grimoire on my shelf for years now, but have not had the chance to try it. I don't know how it plays or where the story goes since there are spoilers and the rules text tells me to stop reading after a certain point.
There are a few follow-on games as well, but I don't know any more about them than this one, for the same reasons.

I'm not sure how much time I would be able to commit, but from the description it sounds pretty flexible, like you can switch volunteer GMs whenever you like? If that is true, I'd be curious about exploring this some. I've never looked at a published game designed specifically for pbp, so that would be interesting/informative.

I'm glad you're not leaving this game quite yet. (Don't scare me like that!) :-P

Yeah don’t go! I certainly never would have dreamed up anything like this carnival, so your services are still much in demand. I also have a busy weekend and will try to post tomorrow, but don’t wait for me.

It is so easy to fish for compliments around here. :)

I wanted to describe 'Roald finding Ezme' yesterday, but didn't because you might be wanting to react first.

"Roald, saaaave meeeee!" 😝

When Lille is in the neighborhood, Roald is acting normal. If not, the dream is getting stranger.

Ha! Why is that??

@vagueGM, can I rise? Is my enfeebled condition permanent as long as I am in the dream? Or can dream "magic" heal me?

She seems to have a stabilizing influence on the group.

On Roald, maybe! 😂

That is up to you. All I said was that you were feeling weak, just like the others experienced (if Fate had rolled a 6 you would have been stronger than usual and towered over the everyone else here, I am sorta saddened that did not happen:).

Maybe the mocking circle of men has left you feeling extra powerless, but Roald's strange words have motivated you, or pushed them away? Up to you.

Also up to you if you have mostly gotten to your feet before Roald gets there, but it sorta sounds like he sees you still on the ground. There is no hint in Roald's post that he noticed your disempowerment, just that fell from the sky and ended up on the ground. Play it as you wish.

One can't help by wonder: Since the duck was created from Roald's childhood memory and he just gave it to Ezme... does she get some of his memories? Hints of them?

Up to you guys if you want to play with this.

We might save this and possibly bring this transferred memory into the game later instead if that seems more interesting than adding another strange element to an already strange scene.

Thank you, kindly!

I didn't see this idea until after I posted, but I like it!! I would love to bring that in at some point, if @Airshark is open to the idea!

I have no clue what's inside this tent. (It doesn't have to be Daryl. Just thought that might be convenient, heh...) @vagueGM, would you like to paint the scene within?

Roald took the stick on both ends, because of it might turn back into a snake.
So if that was anyone's idea, it can still happen.

About the childhood memories, I didn't make an elaborate background story for Roald. Because, you know, I wasn't gonna play this game very long anyway. 🤣🤣.
But I can make something up if the story asks for it.

Now's your chaaaaanceee! :: jubilant grin ::
