Hey hey hey, everybody!

I guess we're all introducing ourselves and things when we show up, so here's me: I've been RPing for about ten years, starting with some P&P stuff, working my way through MMOs, and finally ending up where I am, which is mostly free-form RP (although I still quite enjoy the others). As well as RPing, I also write short stories and novels. Hopefully someday soon on the novels, anyway. My preferences tend towards fantasy; magic is my stock and trade, followed very closely by deceit, intrigue, and politics. Of course, when I say politics, I mean more in terms of a royal court or a vampire council than running city hall. I love to see new twists thrown into a story, and I do it a lot myself, so look out!

You have defeated the monster in the room. Draw a treasure card and go up a level. Do you occasionally, say, venture back to pen and paper games?
(Also, welcome! -snuggle-)
I only ask because you sound very much like you would like Houses of the Blooded, what with there being magic, intrigue, and politics as like...the entire game. Oh, and land ownership. And vassals. And lots of other nobles trying to off you to take your land. -ecstatic shudder-

Generating a family history, including the number of siblings you have, and how many of them are still alive, is fun. ^~^ Would be pretty awesome if it went back even farther. I suppose it COULD...I'm tempted to do that. Go back like 3 generations, make a whole family tree...

Sounds like something worth doing to me. The richer the character's history, the better, I always say. Gives them a depth that you just can't find any other way.

Considering family history plays such a HUGE part in it? Yeah. Can have a maternal grandfather who was the rival of another noble you know, and are trying to attract the attention of for romance. They could know about the rivalry and want revenge, and you don't...

Really, pretty much everything connects the characters. That's the best part.

The connections between families always make things fun. History is what makes intrigue, well, intriguing.

Yes. As do all kinds of secrets. Like hiding your use of blood magic.

Shhhhh. No one needs to know what you do in the comfort of your own ritual alt-

... Basement. In your own basement.

It's much more convenient than that. Or so I've heard.

Well, when it comes to ritual sacrifice, convenience is key. Can't keep going to ancient Mayan ruins every time you wanna sacrifice someone.

Doesn't usually involve killing a person. Usually only takes a little bit. Again, though, just...you know, saying what I've heard.

I dunno, it really depends on what you want to accomplish. For example, it might (hypothetically) only take a drop to cast a glamour, or (Hypothetically) summoning a demon might require a vial or chalice of blood, while calling a forgotten old god (HYPOTHETICALLY) could take hundreds of lives in sacrifice. Or, ya know, it might not. How would I even know? *whistles*

It depends on a lot more than that. Point is, you can do it, or you can't. But you shouldn't. It's illegal.

This conversation took an odd turn somewhere along the line... But, you're absolutely right, it's illegal and generally not very nice.

I don't know. It could be useful to even out deals, stop deception, or it could even be helpful. But it is illegal. We shall speak no more of it. Because we don't know enough about it. We're clearly only working with seditious rumors and propaganda.

Of course, and rumors are almost never true. Definitely not a useful tool or source of information.
