@2mspris Totally. Completely. Understand.

@mietze That's true, those statements will bite you in the ass. I do think if your kid throws a fit, as long as you're doing the best you can and removing your kid or making them stop, you're fine. And not making them stop by continuing to shop while going 'please be quiet, no stop sweetie'. Actual making it stop.

I recognize that I have one kid and that has it's advantages. She's with me most of the time, I'm a single mom and she's almost 6. Some days, I feel like I cheated the system. I'm totally ok with this. My cousin was going on about what is she going to do with the baby, where will she sleep when she's born, how is she going to work with her schedule and her husbands and they have her daughter from a previous man and his son part time and I just think....man...while at times I wish I had someone to catch the slack, someone to help, someone to be there, I'm glad I raised my baby by myself because I didn't have to deal with any of that. No one woke my baby being loud or stupid. No one disrupted our schedule. I really had it easy.

@2mspris There are just so many levels of wrong here. That shit kills me.

@Miss-Demeanor Then on some level you must also miss our lack of turn signal usage.

@Huzuruth Who wrote all the CoFab stuff?

@Huzuruth Depending on the staffer, Mage was worse about it. I got told more than once that even though the Mage book gave an example of xyz being a thing, it didn't have a rote or an official 'name' therefore was not a thing.

This is good stuff. In a bit, I'll go through and try to list all the rituals and make a list. Possibly a spreadsheet. I fucking love spreadsheets.

@darksabrz Care to post your conversions? I'd like to see.

Here's what's House Ruled on TR (which it does say no telenuke) -

Blood Sorcery
Duration
All spells, both Improvised and Ritual have a one month duration maximum.
Stacking
You can not stack Blood Sorcery Spells. Which means, if you cast a Protection 1 effect on yourself, you can not cast a second identical spell on yourself and have them stack. The second spell effectively over writes the first one.
Caps
All dice pool bonuses or penalties from Blood Sorcery spells will be capped at the Theme's rating which will max out at +5/-5 which is entirely in keeping with the GMC rules.
All Ritual Factors will be capped equal to the score of Discipline+Theme for non-Contested/Resisted spells.
For Contested/Resisted Spells the Ritual Factors will be capped at the Base Dice Pool of casting.

***And for kicks - ***

Threnodies
Purchased via +xpreq.
Merit cost. 2x the number of required Discipline dots.
A 'base line' Sacrifice and Song will be noted on the PC. Any over/under Sacrifices will have to be marshaled by a ST/Staff.
All Threnodies are unique. Even the printed ones will have unique sacrifices and no two will be the same.
Staff reserves the right to deny any Threnody for any reason without explanation. (So, no Telenuke submissions please.)

What would be the ideals on this? Is there any way to get over the cries of it's OP NOOOO! Or TELENUKE! People can kill your character, it happens. Let's functionally take a look at it and see what the masses would think as an ideal system.

Thanks! You're on a short list of family members I enjoyed.

I remembered the name of larryghost's game. Persistence of Memory. Random.

@Catsmeow Don't mess with Kanye the Giant.

There's Road to Amber, which frankly isn't very Amber anymore.

The only gods is money and bitches.

He literally had a Patrick cheer he would do during group Skype calls. Like, not really a Patrick cheer, but his player had a cheer for himself, though I'm not sure if he could really draw a clear line between him and his character so...maybe it was a cheer for both of them?

It was not, but was similar to 'Patrick Marine Corp ooo-rah rooting' tootin' awesome sauce punch you in the face...blah blah yay!' but was twice as long as that.

I am not making this up. It is unmakeupable.

ETA - He had the cheer memorized, because it was always the same.

Along with benefits, how could you make some actual consequences for territories? You work on your territory and make it nice, I call in the hipsters to start picketing your gentrification. That sort of thing.

Patrick, aside from anything he may or may not have done as faction head, etc, is an extremely off-putting person. I never did understand why people liked him. He's like those Christians you meet that are SO PERFECT. It's creepy.

Also, he has a cheer for himself. WTF. Who does that?

I get to play a stripper.

@Thenomain That's a good peeve! And I more mis-stated, yes. When people do it, it's most commonly out of staters. Or elderly. It's not part of our driving culture. If it were common, we'd at least watch out for it, but it's not common enough so we don't.
