Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

No worries, I'm in no hurry! Just wanted to make sure you weren't waiting for me to post first :D Also sorry 'bout the extra workload, glad it's fun at least!

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Back from my trip, but will wait for the results of Fellwing's roll before posting so I can include them in B) Unless it'd be preferable I made a short post now?

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Got a 10! So then, what she was looking for from the vision was guidance on what she should do (what to look out for, whether to pursue Echo/the stronghold, should she at least accompany Skobe since it seems dangerous, etc., I'll let you decide what she sees, any of those topics work!), so - "... show you what you need to do; take +1 forward to do it"

And also "... reveal the role a dragon will play in the events to come; give +1 forward to a Clutchmate." she saw Shieldwing being down, and would like to see something important he will do during the mission, so she can tell him that he'll have another chance to impress the old dragon later. He gets the +1.

Speaking of which, @XxFellsingxX, I'd like to roll Touch the Darkness for Fellwing, if I may! Trying to get a quick post in before I leave later today.

Hmm, gotcha. Asked cause I'll be away for the weekend, so I can't get a sheet up until next week - and wanted to know whether that means I should dip out :D I'll likely be trying to make a sheet for Dedication then.

Is this first come, first served as far as crests and player slots in general go?

... Damnit, I didn't see this coming, I want a refund on my Seer powers!

The wording says the move makes use of "an earlier failure". It says nothing about whose failure that is.

@rush99999

It says you "reveal how an earlier failure is part of your larger plan", which implies the trickster would have known about the failure beforehand to have it as part of their plan/long game. The three options listed say you do something, such as seize a resource or create an opportunity, and right after it says "on a miss, you’re the one who is blindsided by your own cleverness; your feint plays right into the hands of your opposition to disastrous and immediate effect." It calls the failure a feint; as in, you pretended to fail, and it does specifically call it "your" feint.

We might just be reading it with different lenses. Either way, I'm not trying to argue that it shouldn't work here, and it seems like Fellsing got an idea of how to implement it already too, so that's great! And I also don't mind if it's broadened to work on everyone's failures regardless of whether they were pre-planned or not, that could lead to more fun stuff. Just saying I don't think that was the original intent of it and it might be difficult to come up with stuff for it at times.

But also, who knows what the original intent of my chosen move's first sentence was either for example, so-- it's not like the moves are gospel.

Edit: Oh! Before I go sleep, wanted to mention that I'll be away for the weekend, but can post again next week.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

I mean, you could but it would quite a bit of detour to do so.

@XxFellsingxX

Ah, then it might be best to find Echo first and head for the stronghold after, unless others feel strongly otherwise!

Difficult. Not impossible.

@rush99999

Not impossible, just saying that it's likely outside of the original scope/intent of the move, as per its wording.

Edit: Missed the above post! Yeah, that's fair, and a 10+ should get something. Just wanted to chime in with my two cents, since I happened to read Trickster's stuff back when I considered picking it.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Are the stronghold and Echo in the same direction? We could always make a stop on the way. But like I said, am cool with either!

About the Trickster move, I assumed it meant that you'd be able to turn your own failures into opportunities, by revealing how you failed on purpose/as part of your plan. Like "A-ha! I stumbled on purpose, and by doing so I got their wallet!" or "What you didn't know is that when I misspoke earlier? I did it on purpose so they'd underestimate me and think I'm a fool!" or "I angered the big bad - not by accident as you thought, but to draw its ire towards me and give you a chance to counter attack!" or something. Others' failures are a little more difficult to turn into opportunities or weave into your own plans, I think.
