It has been 4 days since the saga announcement was posted. With 6 players (plus me), I think we have a full roster for now.
I am still waiting for the play forum to be created, but we can start discussing the parameters of the saga. I have a preliminary list of things to be discussed:
- Power level of the saga
- Source books used
- Starting year of the saga
- Starting level of magi and advancement rule
- Combat rules
- Absences
- Text formatting
- Dice-rolling
- Creation of a wiki
- Stories Frequency and Duration
- Confidence
Now, that is a lot of subjects and it could get confusing fast if each of us starts talking about several subjects at once. So I suggest discussing only one at a time, with everyone stating their preferences and hopefully us reaching a collective decision (which I will record), before moving on to the next one.
If you have other subjects you think should be added to the list, I will do so and we'll get there eventually.
If everyone agrees to this (let us know if you object), the first subject would be:
1. Power Level
How powerful are magi in this saga, on average? How common and powerful are supernatural creatures? How hard is it to find vis sources and how much raw vis is available to magi? How good are books?
How common is it for a mundane to know that magi exist? That they are organized in an Order?
In the Covenants chapter of the ArM5, the following terminology is used for the power level of covenants: Low, Medium, High, Legendary. I think the same terminology can be used for the power level of a saga.
My usual sagas lean towards the Low side of things. This time, my preference would be towards Medium to start with, but perhaps leaning slightly towards the high side.
What do you think? What would you like?
