[Reboot] Palette - Add or ban ingredients
« on: May 03, 2014, 04:11:58 PM »
The Palette is a list of things the players agree to reserve the right to include or, conversely, outright ban. It gets everyone on the same page about what belongs in the history and what doesn’t.

Each player can add one thing, either a Yes or No. Add something to the Yes column if you think the other players would not expect it to be in the history, but you want to be able to include it. Add something to the No column if you think the other players would expect it to be in the history, but you don’t want it included.

I'll add a "no".

Yes:
- Outer space exploration exists (think of Spelljammer), but in a more 'steampunk' way. (Dictum Mortuum)
No:

Okay just to make sure. Do we need to have an order? or is that too much waiting.

I'll add a yes:

In our history H.p. Lovercraft was right.
i.e. There might be "God's" etc but they're just high level dudes and powerful things that have learned the trick or getting power from worship, but outside of those guys? All kinds of bad or uncaring unprounoucable nightmare things.

Yes:
-Major battles are often decided by the commanders of both sides having a climactic fight / duel. (Whether with swords, space ships, fighter planes, guns, whatever. Duels, though.)

Mine is a "no" of sorts.  Those "gods" can't raise you from the dead.  Only the horrific H. P. Lovecraft things can do that. And when you come back, you bring bits and pieces of them with you. (Think Rasputin from Hellboy.)

No:
Mechas, in the form of giant robots do not exist. Powered armors do exist, but the aesthetics of them resemble more iron man and less warhammer.

No:
Spaceships. Thus no space battles.
Which  might raise an eyebrow or 2 so specifically nothing can cross the mesosphere or stratosphere for whatever reason.
