I got the idea for this thread after reading a SR fic where a Johnson with a unique UGE hires some runners.

I was thinking about putting some of the Fair Folk into a campaign. How do I do that?

I would almost say you should look through the various spirits, etc. Use free spirits to represent the fey.

A unique URGE? Like a fetish?

However, it's easy enough to have ripple Awakenings with creatures "popping" up. It's not Canon, but it's a simple enough explanation.

It's also possible Fairies have been here along, just hiding _well_ under the radar. Kinda like IEs -- known only to a select few, etc. etc.

Well, if you want to be "accurate" to their origins, most of them would be free spirits. Hearth spirits for things like Knockers, Bogies, Brownies and the like, field spirits for others (like kobolds I think). Some, like true dryads and pixies, could be forest spirits. Nymphs, Koopa, and Silkies would be water spirits. I could also see some being spirits of the the sky.

And don't forget sprites, from the Critters list. Classic puny winged magical fairies.

UGE as in Unexplained Genetic Expression, drekhead!

Siege: Makes sense. I mean, there's plenty of magic at the present timeline. The fey appearing could still surprise people. I'm think of having them with the empathic power.

Anyone know of any good fairy sites?

you could always adapt some of the WoD changeling rules... they might not be so bad in a SR universe...

Yeah well, "A Johnson with a unique UGE" sounds like a fetish to me. :grinbig:

Edit: As for the Fairy websites, not really. I know you can find supplemental books for other game systems that have Fairy listings -- d20, off the top of my head. But I can't think of any reference site.

Oh dear [insert appropriate divinity or non-divine cosmological force here]. That's like asking if there are any good sites on Witchcraft/Wicca. Personally I like the Brian Froud myself. He has a web site here:

I was *so* gonna make a crack about picking up Fairies at the Pink Flamingo decker bar, until I saw the subtitle saying "no jokes" :(


Anyway, sounds like a fascinating idea. Let us know what you end up doing and how it turns out!

Ah! That would explain why they sounded vaguely familiar, but I wasn't getting any other info from my memory.

faries without gay jokes? that's like san fran without... never mind.

i think it depends on what you mean by 'faries'. if you're talking Tinkerbell, there's the sprites from PAoE. if you're talking about the Seelie and Unseelie Courts, well, that'd be the Tirs. if you're talking about mischeivous forest spirts, there's mischievous forest spirits. if you're talking about none of the above, perhaps you should clarify!

i think when he said 'true dryads', he was talking about the tree-women critters portrayed in D&D.

You could always update the ones in PAoE. There's a section on fae spirits, wouldn't be to hard...think I'll do that once I get the book back from one of my players(ETA 2wks).

Yeah, but those are fragging stupid. All-female midget elves with an allergy to cities? WTF? Metavariants with enforced personality stereotypes? This isn't D&D.

I figure that dryads are a possible forest spirit manifestation, and pretend that SRC never even mentioned them.

Feh, what John said.

A race that takes the phrase "tree hugger" literally?

Insert "woody woodpecker" jokes as necessary.

Well, I mean.. those dendrophiliac elves... (Spelling might be off).

Maybe that's where dryads come from!

reminds me of the old joke, why do you put duct tape around a fairy?
