QUOTE (CanRay @ May 6 2011, 10:05 PM)  US Civil War/War of Northern Aggression/"Oh look, the Separatists are having a bit of a spat". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) Interestingly, Lincoln recognized the South as a Sovereign nation when he declared a blockade, but according to the Declaration of Paris of 1856, a blockade is only legal if it can be enforced. The Union only had 4 ships at the ready to blockade from Virginia to Texas. Since the Union couldn't enforce the blockade, it wasn't a legal blockade by international standards, and therefore the Union didn't technically declare the Confederacy as a sovereign state, which is congruent to what the Union had been saying all along. |

This is gold on par with Shadowrun's rules for taking the magician quality: "don't take this quality if you don't intend to play a mage". On the declaration side: anything is legal if it can be enforced. Maybe not legal legal, but who's going to stop it if it can be enforced? If someone can stop it, it can't be enforced. I hope the mastermind behind that clause received a Darwin award soon after. |

The big problem with "don't take this quality if you don't intend to play a mage" is that everyone's definition of what constitutes a mage differs.

I interpret Magician to be someone who uses magic, knows that it makes them special, and consciously accesses his magical abilities as a primary part of his character. Rather than say, a sam or a face who happens to know how to lay down a stunbolt.

I believe that particular "rule" is mostly there so that people don't buy Magician just to learn Counterspelling to protect themselves from magic.

I think the real question is, how do we make this character a Redneck Ninja too? (this is a music link. I heartily recommend listening to it. Its worth a laugh)

Better strip clubs? Not really. Redneck Strippers. *Shudders* And it was only the one wake we had there.
As for more Shadowrun, not really. Pup The Dog Shaman may never see the light of shadow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) I also don't travel well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) |
