The War in the West
I've been thinking about running IN in the Old West. Looking over the timeline I see that Fleurity isn't a prince, Nybass's status will depend on my exact year, Kahlid isn't in good standing, Eli is, Kobal's activity level is still High, and Mammon is still a major prince. I can't tell when Christopher becomes an Archangel, does anyone know when?
Vapula and Jean need different attunements than Corebook, for Vapula that's no problem, they are in Rogues to Riches, but does anyone have any for Jean? Anyone have any cool Wild West War ideas?

Re: The War in the West
Here's my first instincts for Jean in the few minutes before I have to leave:
Serephim: The same- producing a floating display out of no where isn't any more belivable now than it was then. Cherubim: Perhaps just have it relate to a telegraph machine instead of a phone. Ofanim: Again their were telagraph wires that they could use- their were railroads w/ metal tracks ect. Elohim: Perhaps they could have something like a notebook that conviently has that information that they are looking for- they just have to figure out where they wrote it- Notes from other servitors could appear as just envelopes with a letter in the book- thus simulating internet information availabilty and e-mail. Malakim: Don't see a reason to change- they had technology then- just not the same. Kyriotates: Don't see a reason to change Mercurians: Don't see a reason to change Generator: Don't see a reason to change Remote Control: Don't see a reason to change Most of these don't seem like the lack of today's tech would really limit them that much. |

Hmm... Elohim maybe have to think about that too. One thing I am ready for is my fast-draw house rule. Fast Draw duels precede firing with a Contest of Agility. (yes this can be boosted by Ofanite resonance). Winner goes first. yeah it's pretty simple.

a darker West
In a darker picture, Jordi would be the single most powerful Superior, supported by some of the few people in the world who still give him due respect. However, he knows he's fighting a losing battle against the relentless westward encroachment of a tide of humanity spurred on by so many of the aristocracy of Hell:

Re: The War in the West
You might want to come up with something different for Marc's Head of a PIN attunement. ATMs didn't exist back then.
