@Wizz The trick is to play a BabyMage and ICly find a mentor who already knows this shit to teach it to you.

not to say i didn’t scream internally and externally when trying to actually USE my sheet.
thiiiis. I love Mage’s setting and themes to death and have been reeeaaally tempted, even started making a bit, but every time I look at the improvised spell chart in the books I want to start hooting and screeching like a baboon
What I do is to write out my most commonly used spells beforehand and work everything out while I have free time. Then I can copy and paste when needed and modify as necessary. It really helps to learn it.

I’m one of those damaged souls that played so much OWoD Mage that I’ve historically approached NWoD Mage with absolute bafflement. It’s supposed to be more streamlined (and I’ll admit, it seems so), but I never got the feel for it.

There is only one eternal, unchanging precident: there will never be a game with Mummy, because everybody hates me specifically.
I think it’s just that most game runners have Mummy issues.

Omg there’s been a ban already.

@Pavel They wasted the opportunity to make a living meme of a character based on Jill. Now we’ll never know!

@Pavel I was like “oh I wonder what happened” and then saw him lash out on the chat backlog and was like “oh he’s one of those”.

Yeah it was Polk, so.

The funniest part was that in his meltdown he was all IF FALCONET MARKS ME GONE IT’S A LIE like … no, son, it’s not a lie, you banned. You think there’s gonna be a no transparency ban in THIS house? Pls.

Help, help, I’m being repressed.

I barely pay attention to these forums and saw this coming a mile away.

Which is why I went from ‘please give me all the details now’ to ‘oh. Alright whatever’ almost immediately.

You are a CHANGELING of the WINTER COURT. You are a WIZENED and your seeming is that of the FARWALKER. Your favored Arcadian Contract is the STEED, and your common contracts are LIGHT-SHY, NEVERTREAD, SEVEN-LEAGUE LEAP, and ICE QUEEN’S CALL. Your royal contracts are ERMINE’S WINTER COAT and MIRROR WALK.

Your parents were killed by Dalmatians and you grew up hating animals, eventually becoming a fashion maven who wants to skin animals for fashionable clothes. Except wait, animals are good and wholesome, why is the God Machine having you do that?
By questioning the God Machine you have become a Demon, and now must Sabotage the whole clothing industry. Good luck.

@Cobalt I feel that way about character descs. I write them but then I see others’ descs and think “why can’t I write like that??” I end up just listing my character’s features in the end and hope to get by.
-
@Smile if it helps, i don’t think i’ve looked at a character desc in years unless i had to remind myself of basic features to incorporate into my poses with them if they weren’t listed in shortdesc, and pretty much promptly forget it immediately.
i’m sure there are people out there that judge descs but sometimes those people are also kind of okay if they self-select out because they’re too good for you, you know?
-
Honestly, a desc with actual information in it is just as good as a pretty desc. The only descriptions that turn me off are the ones that are like… super purple.
