I have some trouble figuring out how I got from being imprisoned in an insane asylum for three years to some meeting in an old country house, though Correspondence might work here.
You're not in the meeting! Only 5 of the 6 players are there.
Which ones? All but Pip (Igon) then?
I was just waiting for someone else to take the lead, I don't deal well with breaking the ice like that. Hopefully not everyone has the same issue.
Actually, yes. Yes, I was thinking the
exact same thing.
Also, just noticed that I didn't put my sheet up yet. I made it as a .img from the PDF, but I had meant to fill out the sheet here a week and a half ago. I guess I didn't.
Will do ASAP (though not in the next 16 hours, need to nap before work). Should be quick, since it's already done
.
I really don't know yet. Your background is fine, but, at least to me, your paradigm is convoluted. We'll how it will work out in-game.
Think of it this way, I have all of the same rules as being hermetic, just with different fluff, and only slightly different limitations.
As an example: most Hermetics can "enchant" a "wand" to release a "fireball spell", basically using Forces to evoke a ball of fire, but putting it on a delay that is contingent upon the focus being at hand at a later time to release it then (this is all laid out in the Trad book); I would be able to do the same, but I would have to use an object that already caused fire (such as a Molotov) to do so, and I would be "evoking the objects idealized purpose" instead of "arranging materials to alter the universe" like most Hermetics (although I could not do so yet anyway, since that requires higher Forces than I have).
Also, even if I ever learned Correspondence (no plans to, but hey, if), I would not be able to aport or teleport. It couldn't be rationalized with my paradigm, despite the fact that it was Hermetics that first developed that use for Corr.
Am I making any sense?
Otherwise, I'd be happy to clarify anything that you don't understand.
But, I think most of the paradigms published require a few moments to understand too. And mine is based on a part of philosophy that is repeatedly misunderstood.
