Not complaining, just struck by it. Also, Serendipity is a thing.

Peter just thinks based on his experience thus far, his abilities and 'alien magic' would win over a great teacher, even if they were not looking for a student. We were just talking about how Peter keeps things moving... He's gonna check back each day on a waiting list? That doesn't sound like our guy, lol. Nah, he will try and leverage his social skills for a better 'in' than that, and sweet-talking Mom types are his specialty!

Let's save Serendipity for the incomprehensibly beautiful elven princess who falls inexplicably in love with Peter in his coming of age story... But while the player can make suggestions, Serendipity is a GM tool after all.

Pretty sure I've thrown out a couple "Girl his age" plot hooks already...


But if he's holding out for an elven princess I'll keep that in mind.

The Beast In the Village
or
Light and Black Flame

Thanks. Its always strange because I have my own private name for the world, but It usually doesn't make sense from The Dreamers's point of view. Unless the world has an explicit name, like Yrth or Riask.

Falling in love sounds like torture for a Dreamer. Once Amy realises that long-term romance has become almost impossible for her, she's going to have a whole new source of depression...

Timing is everything... and the Cat-girl was a good opportunity for Peter to show his, er, good moral fiber.

Peter is more likely to label it like a chapter header than a proper name... So really to him, it's the Beast in the Village.

Peter's a few weeks from 15. There are bound to be flings and heartbreaks at that age. He has enough control these days to have an on again off again / long distance thing.

Well let's hope Elves have the right aging rate for "girl his age"

Good point. Is their maturation period vastly different from a human, or is aging similar until they become adults and then slow down? and Does their intellectual development happen at the the same rate?

But for the record, and all kidding aside, I am not requesting to use Serendipity for a hookup.

On this occasion...

[ericthered]

I probably won't be posting the rest of this week.



Happy Thanksgiving!

[the_matrix_walker]

I had a lovely turkey day, thanks! I hope you had a happy one!



Peter recent Changelog:

As you may recall, I've been debating Destiny for some time, and now that I've got "origin" points coming into play from adjusting Goliath, it feels all the more appropriate. I'm going to pull the trigger and take Destiny 2 [10]

Increased Yaka Healing from half a dabbler point to a full point, and Yaka Voice from half a dabbler point to 2 points for a cost of [2]

Added Ritual Magic - College of Knowledge (IQ/VH) - 10 [1] with no earned CP expenditure.

Spoiler:

I think for this he'll have to be shown various techniques (spells) individually, but He'll get the initial point from this session.

That leaves Peter 1 unspent point.

[ericthered]

That looks good.

Destiny starts with 2 points.

That means we need to revisit meta-game recharge rates...

If you want Peter to stay on "per day", that's fine, I'm just considering the change here.

According to this it looks like Peter is on Game-Time and Julian is on 20 posts=1 hour.

[the_matrix_walker]

Destiny is a per session, rather than per hour, and has the cadence use of Serendipity rather than Luck.

PK once suggested Luck (Game Time, +0%; Selectivity, +10%) [17] to allow it to recharge in the better of the two variations, whichever came first.

I would be willing to spend that last point and make it Destiny (Game Time, +0%; Selectivity, +10%) [11]. I would likewise be willing to pay the surcharge on the package Luck and serendipity, it would be [2] for each thanks to rounding...

Given the nature of play-by-post, Perhaps I could suggest we just do meta-advantages that way by default for all?
