New Group for TA
So just not to fall too far behind on the posting I will post a post today and also bring some news in general, which I might want an opinion about. Well, today the convent started and it went fairly well even though it could have gone better, as always. I am pretty satisfied with the result anyway.
So we started to create characters today which almost immediately reminded me about how much more we need to finish changing before we’re actually done with the translation. The Character Making Sheet need to be redesigned again and all the skills are in dire need of getting their new names this week. I will probably set some time to do it this week along with some other things and I would gladly accept help, but if you don’t want to because you have “better” things to do well then so be it…
TNT is once again a Bomber Man or in other terms a Tyniker. I hope he won’t cause too much disaster but if he runs out of control then he know what’s waiting him. To create a character is actually not as hard as I first thought it was after the modifications though it seems that my system works… to well. You actually need to put a great effort in distributing your points in order to have the really special things like racial abilities. My favourite combination isn’t as easy to create as I first thought, though it actually only has to do with me raising the price of Fast Adapt with twice as much. Even so the system works well and it’s more balanced than I thought. So in other words, 3000p is not too little points to make a decent character, you just need to make some sacrifices and THAT is what makes the character worthwhile.
But I found some obstacles too. For instance the base skill or property Sanity1 isn’t properly named. Sanity was fitting before but now it’s developed to something a little different, mostly because when it first was implemented as Mental Health, then the strikers didn’t exist. Now they do and the role Ki Striker have gotten have somewhat changed the essence of Sanity so I changed its name. I am not sure yet if this is final but I first changed it to Aruhn (as an opposite to Marchon and an equal unique property) but then I saw that this didn’t work when it’s not only about the bodily spirit but also about the mind. So I instead named it Mind for the moment even though something like Spirit popped up. What do you think of this?
So right now the group has an Orc Kremis – this is actually Ankan’s character and it seems a little odd but I will see what will happen – Dwarven Tyniker, Halfelf Tekkan and an Satyr Warrior. A really odd group, but it actually is perfect for my purposes. With this group I will probably be able to make them faces various different faces of the societies and give them a pretty fair image of my world. Now my only concern is for the players. If TNT isn’t working in the group I will kick him out and there will be a vacant spot. Right now we are four and I think this will be a sufficient number for me to focus on for now.
Tomorrow though I will really enjoy taking it easy for once. This week has been really hectic, in my own kind of way and I’ve barely been able to do what I want for the time I wanted. Right now I have Two posts pending to be finished. On of them is named The Death Bringers which is the first part of the final Saga of Jayde, and the other post I need to finish is Mistborn review. I also hope that I will find the strength and energy tomorrow to finish the last chapter of the Myths, because I want to hand them out to my new group to read if they like not to mention actually giving you the whole picture how it all ACTUALLY started and why you’re even fighting this useless war you are fighting even though you don’t think so.
Best regards,

The name “Mind” sounds a bit tame in some way. Maybe too general or something, it doesn’t feel like a measure in the same way as the others. More like: Force, eloquence, banana, willpower. You get the picture.
I don’t think I know enough to tell if the term Spirit or Aruhun really contains what it should, so right now I cannot come up with much in the way of suggestions. But Spirit has a better feeling to it than Mind atleast.
Well, well. Back to the Hero of Ages.
After some additional research with internet, for once, I saw that my suggestion of Spirit actually is fitting. Aruhun is more like the product of the mind and body’s interaction in the complex workings of the soul. Spirt does isn’t only a separation of the soul but also a state of the mind.
Due to my antennas in Linsuss being so weak I couldn’t get internet back in Finkan but now I’ve finally decided that it will be Sprit and that Sanity will be the word for violence/horror/paranormal levels.
Well , ill just make a short input here..
I think spirit is ok but mind was ok aswell so whichever works for me there.
Other than that I was happy to see that youve basically completed the Character sheet , although you could have asked for help..
And well.. if a vacant spot turns up in the TA group I would be happy to join.
I did ask for help during Friday, Ankan said that he couldn’t put aside any time during the day but even so nobody seemed interested enough to actually follow up on my suggestion so I did it myself.
I am like that, if people don’t take initative I often do it by myself because I feel that I can’t rely on people doing something by their own accord. I don’t want to chase everyone around doing what I want them to do by themselves. That would be forcing you to perform a lie.
