yxanthymir Posted December 10, 2023 Clone Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Please follow the guidelines below when creating a character. 1 - Create a new thread with your character name and his mythos name. Example: Jason Burn / Genghis Khan. 2 - Write in your post the character name, age, occupation, hobby, likes and dislikes, backstory and his awakening event. 3 - Add four themes to your character (3 Logos and one Mythos). 4 - Add in each theme 3 power labels: one generic (at least two words) and two specifics. 5 - Add in each theme one weakness. 6 - Also add in each theme a mystery or an identity. Feel free to ask any relevant question about your character and the setting here. You can find the free rules here.

Inquisitor D Posted December 13, 2023 Clone Share Posted December 13, 2023 Hmm... well, simple/complex question, where are we? If we're shifting towards the World of Mist rather than a single, soletary City, is the world a bit more defined? Or is every city The City? Should our characters be from a specific real world place or should we still be going with something 'in line' with original City of Mist?

Anyr Posted December 13, 2023 Clone Share Posted December 13, 2023 I don't understand the reasoning for this campaign's house rules. For instance, why do conditions max out at +/-1? It seems strange for 'cursed by an entire divine pantheon' to give the same penalty as 'sprained ankle'.

Angelic Crux Posted December 13, 2023 Clone Share Posted December 13, 2023 Do OG Myth-Weavers posts count for the application? My piddly post-count on the new one is likely to assure a quick and painful death for my chances otherwise.

The game already doesn't make that distinction, a condition is simply a condition. It doesn't matter the source.

I don't want to say too much at this point, but you are probably traveling all over the world. I'll leave that point entirely to player decision. We can focus in one city or travel all over the country or the world. Starting city is New Dunkirk. But your character can come from anywhere you want.

Shouldn't a massive hurricane have higher numbers than a light drizzle? Sorry if I'm being too persistent. I just want to be on the same page before making a character.

Inquisitor D Posted December 13, 2023 Clone Share Posted December 13, 2023 Should we try A Day In The Life after finishing our ap, or should that wait until recruitment finishes and we've got the group together?

For the fiction, it matters very little. For the game, it makes that no action will be an immediate success or failure. If you are having trouble with this concept, this game probably is not for you.

It's a shame, since City of Mist games don't happen often. I was really hoping to play it again. But you're right: If I can't wrap my head around the house rules, then I don't belong here.

Malkavian Grin Posted December 20, 2023 Clone Share Posted December 20, 2023 Hello there! I'm at work so i can't get a copy of the pdf but i had a quick question about mythos. What kind of stuff should we be looking at? Any legendary figure that ever existed? Or is it broader than that like say a videogame or anime character? I'm just not sure what kind of boundaries to set for myself. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxanthymir Posted December 21, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted December 21, 2023 @Malkavian Grin Anything is valid. Tried to post earlier this week, but the site was off-line. And the next few days will be hectic, so don't wait for much activity. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABlotOfInk Posted December 21, 2023 Clone Share Posted December 21, 2023 Just found this and really loving what I see of this system. Going to be whipping up a character when I get the chance!
