Initially I am just looking for esoteric stuff -- as denoted in the Character : Creation thread I will be helping to translate the esoteric to mechanics

Those have been created as well -- but the Trail of Cthulhu Condensed Rules gives a nice player overview and is a linked PDF within a thread marked as such -- will be adding clarification rules as well as tweaks to the Mechanics thread and I will post in the White Zone when such things have been...

The game has been opened and can be found over here: http://www.storytellerscircle.com/forums/a-step-into-madness.194/ I have created a tab for each player under the Character : Creation thread please do not peek at your neighbors All characters once finished will be posted to the Character...

By all means I am currently in the process of trying to get the game set up so that I can get it started. For know just outline who your character is and why they is and to some degree their experiences that outline where their skills may have come from -- does not have to be overly detailed...

Great and that is as an Artist --- those groupings are pretty broad so there is room for Artists when more folks become interested

Understand but again I find Freeform not to my taste because no matter what you do without mechanics you really have no guidelines as to what one can and cannot do -- plus "balance" is like smoke almost impossible to get a handle on it -- but mostly I was just seeing if the game was freeform or...

Yes that is exactly what I do when I run a Mechanicentric game -- just everyone has clear well defined fences on what their character can do and/or perhaps how well they might be able to do it -- and then there is the chaos -- random dice rolling -- which players do not have to be concerned with...

So -- Yes -- it is Freeform with slightly structured rule set ... which to me takes out a major element of RPGing and that is sh** happens and sometimes it happens to your character whether you want it to our not and in Freeform it almost never happens to your character unless you are okay with...

"Freeform" in regards to online text-based role-playing games (Play-By-Post) are RPGs that lack rules, lack statistics by which to judge a character's abilities and/or contain only some very basic guidelines; relying instead on the player's acting abilities and commitment to a good story. These...

So can I assume like most games on here it is totally freeform and that I full control over what happens to and with my character ??

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the...

okay well we have 2 interested parties as soon as we get a 3rd I can launch the official game --- although we can still work on fleshing out characters here if you want

Oh okay did not realize your old man would be into fighting I guess your idea of old man and mine are different ;) no biggy. Okay well again how do you go about reflecting an older man's background in game mechanics if everyone is basically starting at the same power level (for lack of better...

That could work -- the only question is how do you see creating the character such that you reflect the "full life" and yet have him now be an Agent for his Patron ?? So not saying no... just wondering what your answer might be to this question. Note I have a couple possible ideas but would...

That too :) I will continue to work on your race -- going to borrow a name from DnD and call your race collective the Thri-Kreen To bad they won't let me open up an area early will need a place to post informational

Yes I will cover my thoughts on the collective thing a bit more as we go but individuals cannot actually tap into the collective without the help of a speaker -- another caste -- basically a branch of the priest sect We need to start focusing more in on your specific character though to hammer...

I think you are meaning to say some level of telepathy As for looks really depends on how you want to describe your character but I personally think I would take that picture and perhaps make it a bit more humanish in appearance perhaps replace the mandibles with a insectoidish-humanish mouth...

By the way being a race of insectoidish humanoids it is not cannibalism if you eat a human which will add a layer of difficulty of your character fitting in -- so while you are not a traitor -- it is not going to be the easiest to trust you completely either as you are like soon foreign to all...

Okay I agree with the sort of "hive mentality" or collective consciousness thing but it has to be a sort that does not interfere to much with individualism otherwise it would cripple the character in a sense. I was thinking about this more myself and yes a sort of agree to some points but...

No the information about the two types of Magic is something you would be aware of -- you are an Agent of a Patron thus you do Miracles not Mage Magic :) As for additional armor I would not be overly worried about it -- as a mythical knight once pointed out being a turtle has its disadvantages...
