So where do we stand? Do people feels they remember enough to continue? Can Rilcheaux's plots get resolved if we get going again or has too much been lost in the gap? (those are separate questions) also will Fleur get access to the redcap's geneology records to ferret out some inspiration for fertility magic?
We have a record of everything right here, so we can eventually get back on track with whatever plot line we desire. I have no issue with Fleur obtaining the records she needs. I do not recall what Rilcheaux's plots were, but we can look that stuff up too.
Yes.
This was my starting point, and I was recycling some stuff we talked about.
If you want to, I can start a thread. I have much less time than I should, and keep forgetting my ideas (like, I know I knew how I wanted to start, but I've forgotten it) so it will be slow, but it'll at least be something.
I remember:
- The Visitor
- Arachné wanting to avenge her fallen friends.
Yes, I suck at this
Go for it. I will smooth out the rough edges on Roberto.
I can also work up something for Silveroak based on the geneology of her apprentice. I need a reminder of what Rich was up to.
I already started a thread...
Done.
Let's start with some introspection, it's always good for character growth
Here is my confession and apology (explanation) for what went wrong with The Exarch and other aspects of this saga.
The Exarch and stories that were to follow were my attempt doing something political. The schism in House Flambeau was inspired by the schism in American politics at that time. Most everyone in my country was pretty sure things were going to go a certain way and it seemed like no big deal to me at the time. But then the unthinkable happened, and even though he lostthe popular vote, a monster was elected. I focused a lot of my energy, then as now, in savage debates about real politics. So pretend politics quickly became something that was not entertaining. Even today, July 2nd 2018, the first thing I am drawn to when I go online is to get into debates and fight the good fight. I am not normally political person, but this is something far different than I have ever seen in my lifetime. I spend a lot of time and energy in this war for hearts and minds. I march. I protest. I now understand how Xavi felt (he had to bow out because he was/is deeply engaged in Catalonia politics). I am always in the mood to fight and argue nowadays. As if I wasn't bad that way already For a while gaming seemed to frivolous an activity, and after time had passed I felt too detached to really be able to do it right. I still kinda feel that way and like I let people down. But things have gotten too scary serious to not escape into distraction. I need to spend my mental energy in a way that does not cause anger and distress.
But be warned. I know most of you are cool. But if anyone says anything in support of fascist treason (which is the very nicest thing I can say about the opposition), I will totally go off on them.
Well, despite being quite political myself (and very anti-orange-fascism) I expect that All Roads Lead to Africa will be very apolitical.
Okay, trying to piece together the academics and library status- it seems to currently be in 1242, I'm not sure if someone else should be handling updating the library or if the usage needs to be updated (and by whom) in the magi planner...
FWIW, I'm very proud of you.
One needs to stand up sometimes, and I think it is always difficult, especially when one could just lay low.
Although it may seem like it with what's happened in Herakleion, I haven't much politicking in mind in any of the things I think Roberto may be doing. I just needed to address it. But if something bothers you, please tell me.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
As far as I can tell, the magi planner is to be used by the current players, so it doesn't need to be changed, unless some books are lost before their usage is scheduled. Maybe trimmed a little, but that's all
Hum, I guess I mean: What do you need?
between the academics and the librarians books will be written to begin with... and they can't copy books the magi are using, etc. Also not sure who is actually rround at this point, or what year I would be able to make changes in the academics plans from (I would guess from 1142 onwards)...
At this point I would not worry about the Magi Planner or any over lap. Just hand-wave what needs to be waved in order to get us moving forward from this point. Remember, there's Dragon Magic in these shelves. That is our catch all excuse for any incongruities.
One thing that Carmen has always wanted is to divide the library. A set of basic books & primers for young magi, and an exclusive Master's Library for older magi. Ideally the junior library would have high quality Summae, the Master's library would have the high level Summae and the Tractati.
Or something like that.
If not, we do have a number of redundant texts. Maybe it is time to sell some off or trade up?
- I hate hand waving
- part of the purpose of the question was to determine how many tractatus have been developed for fertility lore to see where Fleur would be and her reaction to the text she was bequeathed...
- I am trying to be pragmatic
- I really have no idea. Decide upon a number that is reasonable.
I am still here and can help somewhat. I think my character was trapped in the Tribunal arc

I seem to remember something about a breakthrough integrating alchemy.
Anyway. Glad to have you back. I need help figuring out
everything. Maybe work with silveroak to sort things out?
So, I guess the forums are back up (and looking suspiciously like the NaNo forums).
I'm still here and willing to play, if the game's still going.
As am I.
Yes!!!
So we shoulld discuss how we want to proceed. Sort of like a saga restart. I imagine a generous use of hand-waving and retconning. Do we want to reconfigure? I want to keep using these characters and so forth. I mean the way we have the covenant set up and the rules we were using and such. What works best for us? We have four players at hand. I am not concerned what someone outside might or might not do. I am only interested in what we might want or not want.
