  • Sunday Poll and Rambling about NPCs

    Sunday Poll and Rambling about NPCs

    I’m running Promethean tomorrow night, which means I should do a little homework on the game today, if I have time after redlining Chill (I’m seriously spending a solid 12 weeks redlining; first Promethean, then Chill, then Beast). When I was younger, I did character sheets for everybody. I really liked statting up NPCs. I still do, actually; it’s a fun…

  • First Principles: Basic Refinements [Promethean: The Created]

    First Principles: Basic Refinements [Promethean: The Created]

    Prometheans come to life with very little understanding of themselves or the world around them. Residual memories from their constituent bodies and Azothic memory help, of course; they give the Created a grounding in language, movement, and the skills and knowledge they need to embark on their Pilgrimage. But taking as read that a young Promethean…

  • It’s Complicated [Promethean: The Created]

    It’s Complicated [Promethean: The Created]

    The votes are – you folks want the complex stuff first. You got it. Well, first, some context. A Refinement is a practical philosophy, a pattern of behavior and ethos that informs a Promethean’s approach to the Pilgrimage. But one Refinement isn’t going to lead you to the New Dawn – that would be a gross…

  • Sunday’s Eternal Choice [Promethean: The Created]

    Sunday’s Eternal Choice [Promethean: The Created]

    It’s Sunday, and so you, faithful readers, are again faced with a decision regarding what aspect of Promethean you want to hear about come Tuesday morning. I’ve given the choice several times as “Refinements or [something else],” and while the vote is always close, “something else” always gets picked. As I was typing up notes for…

  • The Invisible Pulse [Mage: The Awakening]

    It’s another layover week, and there’s one Path left, so it’s time to look at the Thyrsus. (It’s okay, though, we’ve got five Orders to get through before I run-out of emergency fill-in material.) So. The Thyrsus. I know we’re not supposed to have favorites, and from a game design perspective I don’t, but let…
