Current putting yourself out there is scary, yes. but you rob yourself and others of those positive and welcoming interactions you might have. high risk, high reward. you've got this, friend.

I'm having a good night here! Work was busy today and I got off early and lounged for a bit. We've got some moving we need to do this weekend so I might not be around very much.

Still excited to see everyone's stuff! I'm loving what I've seen so far. As people have said above, we may end up doubling up since so many of us want to be Nobles.
I was chatting with Fading Memory a moment ago and remembered something. I attend LARPs, just one in the summer, and they sometimes deal with heavy topics since it's a weird west, horror setting. They have a mechanic built into the game where if a player ever needs to leave a scene, for whatever reason, all they need to do is cover their face with their hand and walk away. The rest of the characters will pretend as if that person was never there and continue on.

It's a great way for players to be able to leave if they are uncomfortable with the current scene (among other things). and I feel like we could implement something similar here where if a topic gets a bit too much for anyone player, they can let the crew know "Hey, I'm taking Character A out of that scene." No questions asked, no need to explain. Just.. I'm taking my character out.

Obviously it's not something to abuse. Trying to get out of a big fight you're losing, etc. But it's an option that we could use for those who don't want to participate in certain scenes/plots.


I said I'd at least have a wip so here. I need to elaborate on some parts (and I'm sure there will be some questions that will make me realize I need to add in other places too), and I'm kinda vague on some appearance factors (and no portrait yet) because I want to sketch her myself, so bear with me on those as I work them out


"Current Events: Thinking about hamburgers."

I snorted so hard, I'm pretty sure my entire office heard me. LMAO.

Looks good so far! I love the power, I think that's a great use of a none-combat oriented character being able to support others. I would add in there that the enchantment is not permanent. Maybe it has a cooldown of like 5 minutes? And then she would need to enchant it again. Would offer up some difficulty in battle and make it more useful for her knight to protect her from harm while she's re-upping the enchantment on their weapon, etc.

I did skim a bit through the rest of it and nothing stuck out to me right now to give feedback on, but I can take a look again at some point when you're more confident in her being finished.

note: also, I will be mostly mia today. Big, big meeting this evening and I have to leave early to prep for it and bleh. Everyone is panicking trying to get everything ready, very stressful day for all involved. I'll be around but not as present as I usually am.
@Aqutanama

That very much is a lot and while I did read it, I don't think I retained much of it simply because I'm home from work and my brain is shutting down for the evening. However, I don't want to restrict magic to a list. I'd rather it be a little hand-wave-y in how we approach it. Like Savant said prior. Aldi does healing magic which isn't exactly one of the schools in dnd 5 e. Hell, one of the examples I gave is just animating a teddy to fight for you for a short period. (Though that would probably fall under illusion? Idk)

I don't want to get bogged down in rules or set hard limitations. Magic in the world is probably a much looser definition than you're thinking of. I'm going to allow you the creativity to think through powers and how *you* want your character to use them. Just.. you know. Give them reasonable limitations. Can't heal fatal wounds, can only heal cuts, scraps, etc. Takes on the wounds healed as a draw back.

And yes, @The Savant is right, @Kero. I'm mostly using bits and pieces. It's no hard and fast rule. Just whatever feels right or sounds cool.

Though I will say I would veto necromancy for at least their first year. The skills wouldn't teach dark magic. Maybe how to defend against it. (Thank you Harry Potter lmao)

Edit: also realizing that what I said might come across as mean or rude which I did not mean at all. I apologize if it did. I asked for your thoughts which you gave and I very much appreciate that! I just wanted to respond to that one bit right now. I'll read it again tomorrow when I have more brain power and see if we can't use at least some of it for our needs!
@HylianRose Can I add eggs to Alpheus's habits with no further explanation till the IC happens?


... I suppose? LOL
@HylianRose

As a clarity point, do you want our ‘knights’ to be of our same country or are we getting Foreign Exchange’d on this? I’m totally fine either way, I’m just asking to make sure if I start poking people what I’m offering/asking of them since the expressed preference is to ‘try’ and avoid ‘doubling’ on myself.


Hmm, I see what you're saying, but no, I think it's fine to mix countries for the knights. I would think that, on the part of the school, it may be a measure of building relationships between countries in their case? Mostly just trying to avoid backing ourselves into a hole regarding the pairing and what we can and can't do with it.
Alfi: *mid-stab* Oh.. you the new student? welcome!
the America: What. The. Actual-
Alfi: Oi, language!
Also, I'm getting hella Fire Emblem: Three Houses vibes from this, specifically Edelgard. And daaaamn these kids scary.

You can use this map as a base to start with, then if you need a country from the yellowed part of the map to be independent (except for Modern-day Germany) simply do so.


Perfect! I'm fine with those being part of the HRE. Let me know if the HRE has any beef with any of the surrounding countries.

Oh, Rose, I couldn't find anything much in the IC Tab, nor a zeroth post (the top post without the poster's avatar at the side). This is how it looks on my end: Screenshot


Oh! I didn't know hiding it would hide it for all of you. My bad! Check again, should be there!
