You fall down and you’re like a bird with a cat and you say: ‘Eat me, for Christ’s sake!’ ” And what did that “break” feel like? “The idea is you have given up. Von Trier suffered from anxiety for years (his phobia of flying is well known), and as he explained to Time Out, “(the anxiety) was building up and the depression is a break from it. II: 'Overflowing with philosophy, digressions, religious visions, sex and even some humor' This is the price of freedom from the rules and regulations of typical Shifter society.Nymphomaniac Vol 1: ‘A labyrinth of intellectual and sensual digressions’ NPCs will be built from the applications that come in. And as fun as that it, it is ultimately incredibly unsatisfying. The decision of what path to take, what solution to use: will always be in the hand of the PCs. Better still, different NPCs will agree with or disagree with one another. The NPCs don't know the answers but they have expertise. Give them your solutions and ask for feedback. Come up with ideas, please! If you think you are on the right track, test your theories, help me make an exciting fun story for both of us. What I don't enjoy is PCs asking for rolls to just 'know' the solution. Sometimes when I make a plot I know a solution. YOu can be mean and nasty, but no spiral saunters will occur. So, sorry folks, no BSDs or other walking the dark side PCs in the Shifter Sphere. I am all for having people try out different races, I am not interested in telling stories for Wyrm affiliated Shifter PCs. NPCs will be few at game start, likely for a long while. The downside, there aren't a ton of NPCs out there to work with. So, with a lack of sept and packs, I am hoping to see more opportunity for players to give other races a try. I am guilty of this too, oh so very guilty. Issue two: man oh man, is it hard to play other shifting races. If you make a pack, awesome, but neither I, nor anyone else will spaz if it has to break up for any reason. There's no punishments for having weird and unusual friends. This also means there's no punishment for not living with a pack. So, we are going without a pack or sept focus. You find other people to have fun with, jobs and life take precedence and the game thematically doesn't really work with that. Thematically packs are everything with Garou Society, thematically not living with your pack, not doing most things with your pack, arguing with packmates etc - well, in the course of play these things happen. Or you make a pack in game but have fun playing with others, or timing just doesn't work and so you fall out of touch in the game. Yes, they are integral to most Shifter games, but with the way online games work, you come in with people, one out of three stays for more than three months. One thing that has always come up as an issue. This means that what you expect, probably won't be what you will be encountering. I am coming into Fulcrum with a few different ideas than I have tried before.
Remember that and OOCly you should be decent to one another. Characters can be mean to other characters. For stories filled with randomness from dice. Tip 1: This is a game, remember this is a game. If it isn't in these, it will not be on your sheet unless it comes from another sphere's approved books (such as abilities or backgrounds).Įxperience: Frigg has been a Shifter Wizard on multiple games and multiple iterations of Metro/Sheltering Sky and now Fulcrum. Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Edition While I as staff may pull from other books for inspiration or ideas, the only books pertinent to players are the following: Restricted means you will have to impress me with your app. Closed means, depending on what you are, you might be able to purchase an NPC, but it will be something ultimately decided by the Shifter Wizard and controlled by the shifter wizard. If they are listed as None Here, don't even ask, its not that they can't exist in this area, its that I won't approve them. So please keep that in mind when applying. There are only a handful of critters I do not want to tell stories for. Which means the Shifters can live as they want. The spirits here are angry and disillusioned. There aren't elders around to learn from. There aren't any elders to nag you to follow this way or that. You only have the judgement of your peers and the spirits.Ī Nagah and a Nuwisha finding themselves as lovers turned mortal enemy? Without elders, is there anyone to put a stop to it? Rokea and Lupus buddying up? It can happen. But it is a city where you decide whats best for you. With creatures of all sorts that can be friends, enemies and sometimes both.
Like the Garou, they have found no sacred places, but they have found respite. The Garou that are present are outnumbered. The Changing Breeds have found this place to be a safe haven.
