Alright, I wanted to be sure. I look forward to it.

@nitemare shape: I'll put Ben in the Char tab after I get another approval, namely as they might have questions or noted something. Too, I like involving the other Co-GMs. :P Makes us feel important (is a co-gm in another rp).


This is why I also asked. That and I want to make sure everybody is ok with what I put out. Thought it seems most people really liked the work that went into DeathDealer.
<Snipped quote by Tearstone>

I'll leave it to @Nitemare Shape to give more detailed information, but we have always made a comparison that it is our game's version of a "Metropolis", "Gotham City", or "New York City". So it might be as large as NYC, but it is a major city. Furthermore, there are districts called "Chinatown", "Little Sicily", "Little Ulster", and the "French Quarter", so there is definitively a Chinese, Italian, and Irish population, or at least a remnant of it.


Yeah, I know that much.

I'll have to think of another way to frame the information I'm looking for so I don't get obvious responses.
@Nitemare Shape@Hound55@Dedonus - Forgive me if this is Stupid Question Day from me, but I'm looking for a particular piece of information. What is the rough area or diameter of Lost Haven? What, roughly, is it's population and demographics? - I don't know if I have missed this information somewhere (if it's listed at all). It certainly does not appear in the OOC OP. I was wondering if NMS or somebody had those numbers rattling around anywhere.

It probably doesn't matter to anyone else, but it makes things shiny for my leaky brainpan.

Edit: Really anybody can answer this, but I figured I would direct it at our GM team.
<Snipped quote by nitemare shape>

Aww, that's sad. I really liked Radiance and was hoping to meet her some time with one of my PCs. Likely Ben as Rach isn't a social person. XD


And yet, you want to put her working at a bar.

Fixed with the additions of my characters as needed, as well as appropriate name changes.
@fdeviant @Tearstone @Gowi So a quick comment rundown on the Lore Doc. To those not on a computer or unable to currently view the doc.

Pharmakeia
Fdeviant, is it alright if I added the herb Moly, which appeared in Book 10 of the Odyssey to this section? It has already appeared in the IC and there is not really a good place for it anywhere else in this document.

Evocation - Tearstone
FDeviant
Same concern here, as traditionally evocation is the summoning of spirits, demons, mystical forces. Your form of evocation has some overlap with the Arcane Stream system and it might be better to just lob this under what is possible using the Arcane Stream.

Would Elemetalism be better fitting?

I think that sounds better, personally.

Ummm... Guys, you realize you're sort of discussing things without the official creator and already sounds like you're already making changes without consent. This isn't making me very comfortable at all to be honest if that's what you're doing. My suggestion: Contact Tearstone with a shout out over the OoC and/or PM about this stuff first before officially making changes or discussing them. This includes Gowi. They might have reasons for how they formatted them which aren't in the descriptions.

VATROU
Well I have no intention of changing anything the creators made. I'm just thinking in the comment bubble here. I wonder though, do you get these messages in email?
3:53 PM Today•Edit•Delete

Fallen Reaper
No as this is a public link. If it was private and send invite, yes I would. I'm also reminding everyone and pointing out what it looked like to me. I didn't think you two intended on altering anything which why I stated 'if that's what you're doing' because I've been known to be mistaken before. However what I said in the OoC is very true and important for everyone, including myself, to keep in mind. It also opens the door for the creator to gain ideas or input over their creation as long as we keep in mind the original creator has final say over it.

Thaumaturgy - Tearstone

FDeviant

Historically speaking, Thaumaturgy and Theurgy are highly religious forms of practice related to priests and a sense of catharsis, whereas sympathetic magic (the form of magic that relates two parts to a whole), and pors pro toto (part for whole), were just magical concepts employed by any number of magical practices. Being that this is a fantasy setting, we can redefine terms as much as we want, but it might be to this lore's benefit to have a clear definition of Thaumaturgy. (But obviously a lot of stuff in here is WIP, so this is just a suggestion)


Forget it.
@Dedonus Speaking of accepted characters. Everyone should make sure to add your sheets to the Character section. I often forget which character belongs to whom. So could you remind those accepted?


Yiss. And can we get the OP updated to reflect the loss of RaptorMan or whoever, as well as the additions of new characters, and their appropriate sorting according to the Sorting Hat?
@FacePunch you have a new PM
@FacePunch - Mind replying to my latest PM?
