It's cool. My post was merely a poor attempt at commiseration about your venerability. ;) |

Blood magic is not a full magical tradition. It is a different way to handle a few of the problems with spellcasting. |

I would love to be an adept, and I think that's what I would be. I also think I would Goblinize and be a troll, that would rock! I would so want to be a troll. Stomp around, looking down at everyone, having bullet proof skin. Ahh, that would be the life.

You'd have to wait an extra 10 years for that though. |

AHA! NOW I get it! :) <SIGH> The trouble with these posting boards (as I'm sure has been said before) is that they don't allow for the subtle changes in intonation and inflection that you pick up in face-to-face or telephone conversations.... --Foreigner |

You get used to it. Smileys can be of some help in relaying the tone of a post. :) Oh, and just so you fully understand my previous post, I'm a year-and-a-half older that you. ;) :D |

I've been doing a countdown and claiming that the Awakening will happen every January in my Deadjournal ever since I started with the thing.
Forgot this time, though. Might get around to it this week. |

If this is in reference to my post, I fully understand that 2011 is only 7 years from now. That is when the Awakening occurs, and when Elves and Dwarves officially begin to be born. My point was that Orcs and Trolls won't begin to goblinize until 2021, which is 10 years after the Awakening. |

So, who said Wuxing? I know the odd Rasta and a Santerian, even way the hell up in Canada, but even being a fairly active member of the coughnewagecough community, I've never met anyone that could be classified as Wuxing. Okay, that's not true. I've just never met one who's english is good enough to be able to post on this board. Yeah, Shaman/Face, baby. Either bear totem, or adversary idol. Leaning a little harder on adversary. Just ask any of my ex-girlfriends. Or any of my players. |

Mage baby. 8)
Although that's probably ego. I'd most likely wind up an idol Shaman. |

I still maintain that approximately 59% (as the polls stand at the moment) of you are overestimating yourselves.
If the Awakening actually does roll around on schedule, my primary amusement for the first several months is going to be pointing and laughing at all the people who were soooo sure they were going to Awaken, then didn't. And especially the ones who think they're already Awakened. |

Don't underestimate the awakened who will spend their time trying to convince mundanes that they are sorcerers and then lead them into dangerous situations and leave.

I'll be the mundane that passes himself off as a sorcerer and then raises a cult around himself :D. Who says cults can't be fun? |

One of the SR books actually makes mention of this -- all the bitter neo-pagans who fail to manifest what they've been preaching for years. Ye gods, that's a blow to the ego. Ouch. Especially if the football player who beat you up for years in high school then actually *does* Awaken. :) The other thing that will be funny will be to watch the Dumpshock boards erupt with arguments over how to re-write the rules for magic because they aren't realistic enough. Wait, actually, we could do that now. :) Anyone want to start a highly contentious thread? --K |
