Villian Applications

Can we bring these back? Give people a leg up on skills if they roll an explicitly antagonist role.

Re: Blindfolds and Spell Ideas

Can someone else? OOC chat time is usually booked for me.

Re: The BOVINE Club! A Load Of Bollocks OR A Brilliant Idea?

I don't have a problem with the branding though something non-sumptuary violating would be nice for us freefolk lol. I do think some sort of a badge would be a nice signal. I was thinking of an approach of asking newcomers what they want/need, rather than telling them. At least for the most part. So...

Re: Blindfolds and Spell Ideas

Yah, blindness/darkness used to strip away all that information both ICly and OOCly. I'm arguing for a reversion to that for blindfolds - since I think it's more fun for one to keep things a bit more mysterious and hard to put together even from an OOC perspective. I think it's human nature to somet...

Re: Power Creep and Rebalancing the Game

We already have that to an extent, but the ramp up could be made steeper. Would that just give an edge to folks with large pools of XP though who can pay the penalty?

The Origin of Urth's Ethnic Divisions

I'm a bit of a genetics/pre-history nerd, so I thought I'd post this here. I don't know that it's useful, but I think it would be nice to inform the world building in subtle ways perhaps if taken as a behind-the-scenes guide. Founding Cultures These are the original proto-cultures, from which all cu...

Re: Blindfolds and Spell Ideas

Apparently previous reply didn't post.

Yah, maybe the 10% chance is a bad idea. Scrap that part of the suggestion.

Blindfolds and Spell Ideas

The idea here is to make it easier to kidnap people WITHOUT having to kill them after due to them finding out your identity/hidey hole. Idea 1: Coded blindfolds. So the idea would be that the effect is similar to "oldschool" darkness, where you couldn't check the room description, you couldn't conne...

Some Suggestions for Balance Changes

The genesis of this is some chatting around the some comments on Reddit and came up with a few ideas. I think a root problem we have in this game is the imbalance between established players and new players in terms of power and difficulty. I don't think that's anyone's fault, per se, but rather a c...

Useful Aliases

I thought it might be nice for folks to suggest useful aliases for new players to enter.

Personally, I just aliased emtoe to emote lol. Which I think everyone could benefit from.

A common one I know for mages is to alias iritual for ritual invert.

Anything else?
