Dammit, I knew this wasn't a good idea! Dragons is sooo stoopid.
And Sphynx, it's "Hors d'oeuvre" |

Slight edit ... I'm not as tired now. :)
If this is Ghostwalker, I'm thinking someone should be using his 4th World name, Icewing. We should know it, either though association, of from the assorted info on Gypsy's chip. |

I was looking for that. I knew we should know, since it was on the data that got passed around, but for the life of me I couldn't remember what that was (or where to find Dragons of the Sixth World). So, if nobody minds, I'm going to edit my post and bit (that and his name was Elliot, not William. That's what happens when I keep all my character sheets in the same file).

Might as well be Jack, since Dogma seems to be too busy sucking up. :P ;)

Well, given that Jack has a Wisdom (I think that's what Sphynx meant) roughly akin to that of buttered toast, he does exactly what the voice in his head tells him too. (edit: okay, I double-checked, and his wisdom isn't that low, but it's still non too high. It would make a bit more sense if Dogma's action came after Jack spoke. I'll see what I can do about that.

I expected Gypsy to become a nice light snack earlier ... or at least to have the damn dragon acknowledge his existance when he stepped out in front and faced off against him while he was in a rage. |

Hey, HMHVV, one thing I'm wondering about Rebo: why is he convinced that ALL magic is psi power? It just seems kind of strange. And yeah, easy for you too look tough, Mr. I'm-not-the-one-on-fire.
And Sparky, it's a damn good thing I got one of those screen protectors for my monitor, because I just blew a mixture of nose grease and diet pepsi all over mine (my keyboard on the other hand...) |

AH HAHAHA
You know what I pictured? Me putting my finger to my temple and using one of those evil villain pain inducing collar things on Slinky. Could use one of those to keep you people in line! heheheh.... no... must resist urge to be evil team leader... Can you guess I'm playing a Sith in Knights of the Old Republic 2 right now?? And dammit, I knew asking it's name was gonna be a bad idea. Never played ED though.... did I just basically say "hey, your sister is a good lay, but not half as good as your mother"? |

Pretty much, except that he'd just walked in on you doing his dad when you said that.

That's really not true, otherwise people could never interact. You didn't ask his true name, merely the name he wants to be known as to the public. Icewing is not his true name, nor is it Dollmaker or Ghostwalker or any other of the many things he may be called. I don't see that you did anything out of place.

Gypsy already spoke to it once in that language, but that seemed to be overlooked. I figure he'll try again though.

Backgammon: I tried to hand the social thing off to Dogma, as that is his specialty. When I made the post about it being his cue, I naturally thought that he knew at least a little bit of Sperethiel. I checked his sheet afterwards, but by then it was too late, so I left it as it was to see how things panned out.
Sorry mate. I didn't mean to steal the spotlight, but unless Pale-and-Scaly decides to communicate in a different fashion, there's not much choice. One alternative is for you to have Dogma do some of the talking in the future, and just post that Gypsy is doing the translating for you. Or he could start to learn Sperethiel and become a civilized elf! :P ;) |

Just a reminder that dragons tend to speak telepathically when dealing with metahumans (that's why Dunkie needed a 'translator.' Thought speak isn't picked up by mikes), and there hasn't seemed to be a problem with what language the metahuman thinks he's speaking in. We just have to think real hard at Ghostwalked to make him understand us.

That might not necessarily hold true for the Fourth World (I don't know for sure though). All I know is that Sphynx stated that the 'words' used by the dragon were in Sperethiel, and that he implied that the dragon did not understand the resulting answers from the rest of the team.
Gypsy could also use Mindlink, and I considered going that route, but he is kinda fatigued at the moment, so I figured that it would be better not to try. |

That's the psionicist mindset; that magic isn't "magic" at all, but the workings of the human mind and the psychic power that comes from it. That's also why he refers to spirits as "extra-dimensionals." The basic rules are in Magic in the Shadows. |

Yeah, I know, but it's sorta cool this way. Obviously I'm our best asset when negociating comes up, but it's fun to be in a situation when your best asset can't be used (like street sams without guns!). I considered having you translate what I say, but I figured you were an elf too, which maybe the dragon would like, you knew more about magic, dragons, 4th world and all that stuff and were generally well suited to hold negociations. I'll probably ask you in a future post to let me know what you're saying and what he's saying once conversation gets underway. So if you fail, you will be responsible for all of our horrible deaths. No pressure ;) |

Time to Eval the GM if you don't mind.
Watching other games, I see that my GM style seems to so greatly differ from others as to almost seem like a completely different gaming system. Where other games take weeks just to get started, our game has done more than most games ever will I think. My concern is that maybe you think I'm going too fast, like the numbers on the sheet don't matter as much as in other games since we so rarely have roll-the-dice events (we have alot of them, but I usually just don't mention what dice I rolled for players and just tell the story the way the dice rolled). I don't mind some good criticing, I'd rather be told to change than lose the game, so please don't hold back if you hate certain aspects. :P Anyhows, will have Karma posted soon, and I think ES_ is the only one I'm waiting on (will double check) to do a weekend IC post. So you may see an early post this week. :) |
