Retired Play by Post Campaigns Ars Magica 5th Edition: In the Ruins of Bibracte

Where is this info? Where is Fundin?

While I'm on the subject, do we want to update the map to include the portals? There's this nifty little line-drawing tool I could use, if I had the info to work with. Or we could just use a different pin-icon to indicate locations with portals.

502

Probably some DYAC. Cunfin.

503

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ulrich doesn't really know just what happened to Apollodorus, does he? He knows that Apollodorus was murdered, but as best as I can recall, he doesn't know who Apollodorus used to be, or just who killed him, or why, or that the other magi of Mons Electi have a hard time trusting Guernicus and why? Nothing regarding the "big picture", right?

504

You know, I OWN Magi of Hermes, and I still spend all sorts of time getting surprised by people telling me what's in that book. I'm wondering if maybe that's because I bought it as a pdf from e23, instead of hardcover.

I'm thinking about picking up Grogs and Apprentices, and I was going to do them as pdfs, but seeing how easily I'm missing stuff from MoH....

505

I've finally decided to go through MoH and take notes on the cool spells, because I will forget them otherwise. Hell, I forget spells from the core book that Tranquillina actually knows formulaically! :blush:

506

Four!

507

No, I think he was more or less excluded from the meeting, or invited in later.

508

He was too busy trying to hookup with Theraphosa, IIRC.

509

And he would'a gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for that meddling Tremere.

When you start losing arguments with your recycled dinner, it's time to stop drinking.

I just looked at the Workshops sheet that amul made, and I had a few (possibly dumb) questions.

  • Putting the -36 build points in specific seasons is just a way to make the spreadsheet come out the way you want, not anything from the mechanics, right?
  • During seasons marked "Travel" and "Seek assistants", Rashid is getting XP somewhere, right? - and you're just not recording it on the workshop sheet?
  • My understanding of the French house rule was that characters get this 4 XP only if they choose Exposure as their season's advancement method, not every season. Am I wrong about this? (or perhaps this question and the last one answer each other)

While I'm thinking about it: how many XP per year do grogs get in our saga?

I've been giving Fiona the 4 points in French for every season that she doesn't have Exposure in some other field. For example, when she's studying, she's been taking 4xp Exposure in French as well as the xp for the Source Quality of the tome in question. When she's been inventing spells, working in the lab, or teaching, she's been taking "normal" exposure (e.g. in Corpus, teaching, or magic theory).

30 xp per year plus any adventure experience, for grogs and companions both.

513

I guess then the question is: for characters who work in Workshops, do they follow the 30xp/year saga rule, or do everything one season at a time....

((should this thread be in 1225.2? the letter says "Delivered the beginning of summer 1225"))

516

Regarding Roberto's passage, Alexei is sponsoring you and has the Generous Personality trait...

517

While that may be true, he may or may not know that. OoH Lore check necessary to know details about Alexei...

518

And be all emo, right? If he does show any sign feeling sorry for himself Elizabeth smacks him on the backside of the head and says, "Snap out of it!"

For some reason, I got the giggles when you linked this picture in a post talking about Alips. :smiley:

I wish I could claim conscious credit for this :laughing:
