Who are you?
"... bit of a loaded question, but I'll go with it: Kendra Molony, age 24, she/they pronouns. Born in Derry, Northern Island, moved to Newcastle, England when I was four years old. Parents divorced when I was... eleven, I think? Me and my mum weren't getting along so good, so I ended up moving in with my dad. Well, he got remarried to this American woman, who's now my stepmum. We ended up moving to the States, went to middle school, high school, err... dropped out of college due to personal reasons that I will not go into. Currently living with my old college roommate, Trinity, and one of her friends, girl named Aliss. They're cool people. Nowadays work in a coffee shop which, is part of, *cough*, a certain corporate chain. It's hell, but I get discounts so..."

How long have you been in the city?
"Little over a year now. It's no worse than anywhere else I've been, I guess."

How do you cope with the visions?
"Err, I get round the dreams by sleeping as little as possible. Putting those cheap coffees to good use. Eventually, I do have to conk out though, but I limit that to short naps. As for the waking visions, well, there's not much you can do about those save grin and bare it. And take painkillers, lots and lots of painkillers."

What are the nightmares like?
"Awful. Next question."

What do you desperately need?
"In the long term? Probably a few more years of therapy. Right now though, I'll settle for another coffee."

Gear
- A simple apartment, a crappy car, a cell phone
- Prophetic tools (tarot cards)

Debts
Someone helps you understand your dreams and visions. You owe them 2 debts.
You've had a dire prophecy about someone, but you don't know how to help them... yet. You owe them a debt.
You are helping someone realize their true potential through your visions. They owe you a Debt. (Trinity)

Oracle Moves
- Foretellings: At the beginning of the session, roll with Spirit. On a 10+, hold 2. On a 7-9, hold 1. During the session, you can spend your hold to declare that something terrible is about to happen. You (and your allies) take +1 ongoing to avoid the impending disaster. On a miss, you foresee the death of someone important to you and take -1 to all rolls to prevent it.

- Psychometry: Whenever you study and examine an interesting object, roll with Spirit. On a 10+, ask 3. On a 7-9, ask 1:
• What is the history of this object?
• What bans, wards, or limits are attached to this object?
• Where does this object belong?
• What secrets or mysteries has this object been privy to?
• What strong emotions have most recently been near this object?
On a miss, the emotion of the object overwhelms you and you take -1 ongoing for the scene.

- Conduit: Advance let it out for all characters in your presence, including yourself.

Drama Moves
Oracle Corruption Move: When you give someone a false prophecy, mark corruption.

Intimacy Move: When you share a moment of intimacy—physical or emotional—with another person, you gain a specific and clear vision about that person’s future. You can ask up to 3 questions about the vision; mark corruption for each.

End Move: When you die or retire your character, announce a proclamation upon the world that will reverberate in dreams worldwide. Detail the signs of its coming. The MC will make your prophecy come to pass, sooner rather than later.

Urban Shadows - Tales from Corvus Bay

To play my Oracle Kendra again, or to make a new character; that is the question.

Urban Shadows - Tales from Corvus Bay

Interested!

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Busy with work and home. Also was reminded I have D&D this weekend and have no prep work done. I should be able to pull something together so it is not that bad.

@Lurking Krog

As someone who, about a year ago, was running a GMing a ttrpg campaign over Discord and was essentially winging every session because I had no idea what I was doing, I wish you good luck. I'm assuming this is a homebrew game?

Urban Shadows - Heebie Jeebies

While I have enjoyed this foray into running an Apocalypse Engine game, I'm not sure I'll be able to continue. Between the things I'm a part of and the game I am already running, I fear I might rediscover an old habit of spreading my creative energies to thin if I pick this up again.

Perhaps one day I will make another crack at this. Until then though, I thank you for playing and leave you with some parting words from our sponsor...

@rush99999

I did feel you were probably overworking yourself a bit, so I understand. However, if you ever do pick this up again (or, in fact, want to try running a different Powered By The Apocalypse game, as there are several pretty good ones out there) feel free to message me. While this game was short-lived, it was very enjoyable.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

So how's everyone's week been going? What ya'll been up to?

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Jub: It seems me and Brut are on the same page for once.
Brutrumukk: *thinking he's about to hear the world's best joke*

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Jub the Peculiar

Jub gave a loud sigh as he felt himself shrinking down just as he did back at the Pixie Kingdom. "Here we go again," he muttered to himself. He could sense himself starting to get a little more apathetic towards the weird things this realm threw at him. Maybe at some point, he would stop being surprised altogether.

Eventually the mini Bav stopped laughing, and Brutrumukk asked what the creature had found so funny in the first place. Jub considered explaining to the bugbear about the the Hideous Laughter spell, but got the sense that there was little point. Given that Brutrumukk's perception of events seemed incredibly warped by the alcohol, anything Jub tried to explain at this point would probably be lost in translation.

And besides, what the mini Bav said in response turned out to be far more pressing.

"Don't hurt me! Spare me! If you spare me, I'll...I'll give ya password! Password to Mirror! It take you to Carnival!"

"Oh good, you can speak," Jub replied, his voice a mixture of relief and dull surprise. "Wasn't really sure what I was going to do with you if you couldn't speak." He was a little curious though. While they didn't need it right now, he assumed they'd need a way back to the Carnival when they finished with... well, whatever this was.

Before he could respond, however, Brutrumukk beat him to it, "Oh I definitely wanna 'ear that. Don't be shy. Tell us."

"Err, yes! What he said," Jub added. It seemed like the bugbear and he were on the same page again, for once.
