Session Alternatives
As you all know by now Daniel is going away for the week to Jokkmokk to handle some personal business. Some of you seem to be interested in playing anyway and frankly I’ve been so fucking tired the past week that I’ve had neither the time nor energy to think about what next after the Hathor temple. So this is the alternatives I’ve thought of right now…
Single sessions, ala flashback sessions is not an option right now. This I want to save for the planned arc pause later. Duo sessions are possible, but in Ankan aka Hibiki’s case it would be the same as a single session in the habitat. Group sessions too, are possible if not even preferable from my viewpoint. But that’s only my general thought.
What’s half and half important is to get Foppa on track right now I think. Most of you have already gotten into your characters and know what to do and you’ve gotten quite a hang of your character even though you haven’t evolved so much but it’s still early in the game. Foppa tough is still struggling with his character and he have expressed that he’s unsure how to play him and it seems like he’s having a great problem to focus and get a feel for his character. Like his concept has slipped away from him, which was a risk I told him about when he started plotting the concept in December and didn’t feed it until after ADL so it might have grown a little cold to him.
However, if this group is going to work for Foppa he needs to get into his character and feel like it’s both fun and stimulating for him. I don’t know if it’s possible but it seems like he haven’t given up and that he still wants to try before he gives up so I think that the best thing to aid that is to play around him for the next couple of sessions. But I am not sure at all if that’s going to work or not.
Well, this week I have the following planned.
Monday I’m going to do the Outsiders from 18:00-22:00 as usual. Daytime is limited to preperations as well as some tasks I need to perform.
Right now Tuesday to Wednesday is free, but only one session per day and preferably day sessions but I know that seldom works for Ankan so if it’s not possible then evening sessions.
Thursday afternoon I’ll probably be playing with the kids and PB starts working so no sessions that day.
Friday to Sunday might be occupied but nothing is decided. It might be possible to play and it might not be. There is a decision waiting to be made which might occupy those days or one or two of them. It still tough might be possible to play. And still preferably during day.
The reason to why I want to play during the day is that I think much better during daytime right now. I also have more energy and all that. So if necessary then an evening session but I do not have the energy yet to play too much this week. I have a lot to do and a lot of stress on my body. Hopefully tough I’m getting better so it might soon be back to normal. I won! Don’t need to go to the hospital or anything. =)
But one shouldn’t take out victory to early…
Well, so to the playing alternatives which you might discuss what you feel for.
Duo sessions1, with the nobles in Kaaba with some more elaborate events now and a little more session like session; i.e. not a single session to test you and to give you space to shape yourself (or not really) but more a meaningful session. This is also possible to turn into a trio session instead. This would save time and also give some more interesting possibilities’ for all involved to develop their characters.
Trio session2, not the same as the above but another more trio-involved session with another setup and more… divided but united you could say. Well, it will at least try to give time and space for all characters and will take place in Kaaba.
Fiction session, a session not actually occurring for all characters… you could say that it might be a dream but it might not be. Where only one character will have any recollection of the events happening in these sessions. It will be of importance and it won’t be useless sessions to any of you and you will gain AP and the like from the session, more than that doesn’t need to explain.
Free-sessions aka Duo Session and Single Session3. Like the first two duo sessions, only that it will be as it was before. Usual and mostly constructing sessions for building up your base environments a little more and your characters character, so to speak.
Well, those are my alternatives as I see them right now. See the first two ones as a scenario adventure and also a possibility to progress along with your characters development and goals.
Best regards,

What it feels like I want the most right now is one of the trio sessions. Didn’t really get the difference there.
Did you in the second entry mean like a trio-session where we do our own stuff, but sit in the same room?
What I would prefer is a session where all are present (except for Keisuke) in Kaaba. As you said, this could be some endevour of Willhelm. Maybe some endevour of the businessman Willhelm?
Well, I would like to see Kaaba and I think it would fit into the story. The only downside I can see is that Daniel won’t be present for the introduction of Kaaba from the Shikár point of view.
Well both duo and trio sessions sounded interesting.. actually all session types sounded very interesting but I guess those are the most appealing at the moment.
About the fiction session is that a single session or is it with all players present? Im guessing its for everyone but only one remembers it? like its his/hers dream that involves the others in someway.
But , as I said , I think duo/trio sessions sounds most appealing at the moment but then I guess if you want to play in daytime it will be difficult for ankan to join them.
If you want to play Tuesday or Wednesday during the day, you will have to do it without me. I have lectures and stuff. Evenings may work for me.
The difference is the setup of it all. You could say that it’s actually a duo-session with three people present. Hard to explain without going into the details of the session.
As suspected, I didn’t expect to be able to play during the day anyway. Just a request since I need to rest during the evening, I have a lot to recover.
Well evening sessions then.
All three or more will be present and only one of the present characters will remember the event. So you got it there.
Well I posted the suggestions so you can all choose and discuss. Foppa should be able to comment since I’ve spent about four to five hours fixing their computer today.
A trio session is what I prefer as well.
Well, it’s still pretty unclear to me which of my alternatives you have chosen so I’ll add a poll so I know better.
And you know which days is possible to play on.
So, now it’s possible to use the poll again.
For some reason it stopped working there for a while…
Strange.
