Really, you have to ask yourself, like any game, why do you want to make THIS particular game? When it comes to history, hopefully you see a setting charged with a lot of potential change, complex thought and conflicts to dig into, several cultures, and some relatively easy to grasp roles.

If it's because you think Victorian clothes go well with Changeling, you are choosing a historical era for the wrong reason. You forego so much of what modern thought about abuse and psychology has to say, for a hat. A damn fine hat, but only you and a few others will really get the hat.

I'd go with The Band approach, meaning that you manage a group of people whose abilities can matter, could be politicians, soldiers, mercenaries, scouts, whatever.

@Chime said in What Do You Collect?:

...it was a kinder, gentler internet back then.

Basically, most RPGs make the player character super human compared to the average person. WoD/CoD and similar games literally make you a supernatural type. This empowers the player to feel like they can get away with a lot, make things happen.

For anything other than the modern era, you need to provide support for a lot to think about, participate in, and look up. For instance, Victoriana, a steampunk and fantasy 1800s setting and game lays out quiet a few social and economic ills to address one way or another. This gives the players a sort of compass to act on and a context to place their characters.

Pure history comes with the heavy feel of "be realistic" and "be accurate", and that expresses out as wildly differing levels based on what one has studied.

A lot of fiction currently out has the supernatural, or at least parts of it, out in the open. Might be a nice change.

Sounds closer to a low to middle fantasy game, which happens to use geography, cultures and a rough history outline from reality. Similar to how Conan took place in a mishmash of places and cultures based on Europe etc.

Seems like it could work.

I feel that Night Terrors was made for @Cobaltasaurus and @Insomnia.

Never look in the toilet reservoir. You don't. Want. To. Know.

People like to cheat.

See every game, ever.

It's biology.

Exactly. Except there was no no smoking area.

Cancer is a distraction when discussing second hand smoke.

My friend moved out at 18. At 35, he went in to have his lungs checked. He was asked how many packs a day he smoked currently. He's never smoked.

That is evidence enough for me.

Perhaps if you aired the examples, or where they are supposed to have taken place, people here can correctly identify who they are talking about?

Also +finger may help: No I am not XX@blah place.

I haven't heard it either.

I would suggest that it is a conflation from Realms, or malice from there.

Given the store had a policy to allow well behave and attended dogs, her only effective approach would be to management. Approaching any one person is just a confrontation that has little effect on her stated needs.

She also needs a run by fruiting (reference).

ETA: I don't collect per se, but I am the repository for name plates of people I know who have left companies I am at. The name plate graveyard.

I am fairly sure the name of the effect will tell you how it affects your affect.

Nah, just refer to the Nobilis RPG for more ideas.

Is it like having to account for your own health track in various games?

Conditions can also just be noted and don't need to be recorded via code necessarily.

Not everyone gets paid to practice presenting concise compelling arguments. Besides, what would we complain about then?

Or link commentary from another thread.
