Over Thanksgiving I sketched out Talc and Gurman. Here's digital tracings of them.

Gurman
Talc

I'm still mulling over the Game Time/ X Posts rate on Meta traits

For play by post, I think "by post" usually turns out better, but it does make the advantage absent in abridged time, which is wonky in it's own way. I've always been fond the game time+selectivity behavior, and really think it makes sense for meta-advantages as a default. Just MHO.

Awesome. Thanks. I mean, they're meant to be as much Berber as Arab, but Arabic is still relevant here.

I agree by post is usually better. Refreshing automatically each day is a pretty substantial upgrade though, especially for someone like Julian.

I don't know what you are referring to when you reference the Detect Advantage say try again and again. They handwave omitting known sources as assumed in the advantage. Your interpretation seems persnickety to me. These are spells and advantages to find what you are looking for, not for fussing about. Where is the fun in that?

Enough for a serving is significant when you're looking for a cuppa
