Supernatural Arch? - Is that like the St. Louis Arch turned into a giant portal into hell?

Or do you mean supernatural Arc?
You say that like it's a bad thing... >.>
@Tearstone Yeah I decided it would be safer after I consulted the group to just PM those involved. So check your PM box. It should be there. If not I'll actually be awake shortly. Maybe. It's my day off so I might pass out for a while if my body so decides to do so. So I'll send it again.


I'm aware. I saw it before I saw that point in the thread.

ok.. I think im caught up.. again
@facepunch@neutralnexus@fdeviant@hound55@nitemare shape

Is anyone planning to make a post for those at Sherman Square? I know that NMS may or may not be able to get on today and tomorrow, but I wanted to ask everyone about this before I moved things forward.


Not involved, wasn't invited..

I AM THE WRONG NUMBER THAT WAKES YOU AT 3 AM


THAT'S NOT COOL! - I had that happen last night actually. FML
Right so. Here's a Link to the CAH General lore Doc

From here, anything from Popular chain restaurants, Publicly known facts about Corporations (no secret evil corp stuffs just surface stuff the general would know about, unless you don't mind people knowing or you have already revealed it prior.)


There is no link in this post
<Snipped quote by Athinar>

It's still magic, and there's many ways of doing that as well. :p


What she said.

@Athinar Are you talking about Native American shamanism, Tibetian shamanism, or South American shamanism, or Peruvian shamanism?

Are you taking into account other native spiritual traditions like Hawaiian Kahunas, or what about African Voodoo & Hoodoo?
*record scratch* Okay, okay hold up. Time out.

I think everybody is getting fixated on the thought that this meeting of the minds would be to come up with one unified system.

That's not what's being said or suggested.


The goal is to get the different ides down, and how these specific bits of lore currently function, as each player has set them up. So say if I want to use the Poseidon thing, I would know how to work with it, so as I don't break what Gowi or whoever set it out. Or I can expand on it.

Or say if I want to define something new, I can know what is established already.

We're not trying to codify all of the umbrella category of Magic into one single codified system. It's more cataloging things. Taking an inventory.
@VATROU

As someone who enjoys playing supernatural and magical characters, even though I love other types... and who has done so fora long time... I have to say I am interested.

@Gowi

I wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes. However, in the words of Isaac Newton... "If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." I believe this applies. Some things to consider with magic, and what makes it good, vs crappy. Magic that simply solves all problems with the wave of a wand, especially without any rhyme, reason, or explanation is bad. However, something that does make sense, has it's own issues, and takes some kind of effort and understanding makes it worthwhile as a storytelling and RP tool.

I have two main systems that I use for magic, with minor variations, most often. I'd love to compare systems, compare notes, and see if there's something I like better, or put down what I use, and see if anybody else wants to work with it. And of course, how these systems interact.

As @Hound55 said, this is one big sandbox, and anything is possible. It's possible for us to use all systems as well. It could be in a form of a type of technology we don't fully understand, but was understood and known by the Ancients (generic term) and passed down to Earth at some point. For them, their texts and the like are a comprehensive manual base don fundamental knowledge of the universe, and is outside our knowledge right now. Some wizards study to learn those fundamental secrets their entire lives. That's why they got into it. - For others it could simply be a force of nature, or a field that we have yet to fully tap or map out. You could even explore magic from a quantum mechanics aspect. Or it could simply be an unknowable Kool-Aid of some kind, but here's what works, and why. It could be an energy from an alternate dimension, or a dimension we haven't discovered yet. It could be all of them at once? - We can spin them well.

But I think that a collection, a tome.. a grimoire... would be useful for us. So to speak. XD

Long story made short - Hells yeah I'm interested. Sorry for the rambling. It's early and my mind is just .. buzzing I guess.
