Where is the Gauntlet going when/if G+ closes? I’m guessing this has been brought up already.

So, I toyed around a little bit with some things today.

Well, currently pre-gens on my Divine Blood one-shot stand:

5 Gods, 5 Demons, 1 kitsune Demi-god, 1 half-Demon, 1 Demi-god, 2 normal humans, 1 psychic human merc.

Planning to add some more humans (fire-fighter, paramedic, two more middle schoolers, and some assorted non-humans non-immortals.)

Demo-character creation for Divine Blood 2nd Edition Playtest:

As a side note, I accidentally cut off the screen share when I started doing the Stunts and Stress tracks, so here’s a link to the character sheet on google drive I was working with.

I’ll be putting the stats on a single file later and getting into the player resources along with a quick thing on building characters.

In preparation for my gauntlet con event with my Divine Blood game, I’ve started converting the old Fate Accelerated pre-gens into characters for the current playtest version of the Divine Blood 2nd edition.

Character creation is the main thing changing in this edition as the first edition used primarily Strands of Fate resulting in a bit of clutter as well as licensing issues. Which is underscored by the fact that one of the two scenarios is run for the Divine Blood setting was run with Fate Accelerated.

I’m moving closer to Fate Core / Accelerated but still retaining some of the granularity I like from Strands. The result is far more streamlined.

And I figured I’d build one character here as a demo for people thinking of bringing their own ideas.

But here’s a poll to see which character to use as demo for the char gen of this game.

Well, my group has started a new campaign and I’m looking forward to seeing where this going. We’re starting as rank mortals in a Chronicles of Darkness campaign and are building up to one of the splats. Which one should be relatively easy to figure out for anybody that knows the CoD lore.

So far we’ve had a Session 0 and roleplayed a single scene with some unfortunate rolls, but it feels like it’s going to be nice creepy fun.

It’s been a while since I posted a play report, but here we go. We started some Scion 2nd Edition recently, and I think I’ve posted some of Hilde’s story, but we’re now two sessions into Lily’s story.

Lily is a runaway turned aggressive archeologist and a scion of Inari, though she does not know that last bit yet.

She….does not make wise choices.

Then, I’ll go ahead and link Hilde’s index page as well.

Hilde knows full well that her parents were incarnations of Thor and Sif and that her literally golden hair means she takes after her mother, but she is frustrated that she has not yet been recognized by her parents’ greater selves. Sure their mortal incarnations, adventuring youtubers, love her and that’s great, but despite her personal fame and enthusiasm, she remains just a mortal with a little something special.

Hilde….also….does not make wise choices.

So, this last weekend’s City of Mist game was a bit less successful than the one before, and most of that falls on my head for blanking when it came to a sort of mind control to apply for talking to their first plot giver, Zoe Vitale. I had her reinforcing the belief they already had and it threw the players off completely and stalled the game for a few minutes. In retrospect I should have had her produce a belief that she was unimportant. There were a couple of other points where circumstances got a bit gummed up, but the game moved along.

Regardless, the game is moving on again. My case is running into a 4th session and next case will be on Kelsey’s player’s head. Since we’re down to two GMs we’re talking about having our PCs more active during our own cases so that our characters can interact with each other a little.

This is the report from yesterday’s City of Mist game. Patricia is still side-lined due to me being the GM, and Liza’s player is still out for IRL reasons. It’s doubtful we’ll see her return, but I’m keeping her portrait there just in case.

After getting some basic information last week, this week, they track down one of the other people involved in the fight at the Candlestick, that still leaves the panicky wizard that fireballed them and another they haven’t met yet (but whose name is on the board).

It’s been a few weeks, but our group is back to the City of Mist and this time it’s my turn as the GM. The in-character-ness of the journal felt a bit weirder this time, given Patricia was mostly not present. I should probably re-work it a bit here and there because as it currently stands it doesn’t feel as good as some of my earlier reports.

In any case, they’ve done a lot of investigating and the first level of the two countdowns has begun before the Amata and Merrit go full monster. Well, Merrit was already a killer, to be fair.

Merrit hasn’t shown up yet in the game, but that is likely coming.
