    Humm. This gives me several ideas, but I'll have to think more on them.

    (Also, how do we know these facts without even knowing what they look like?)

    Next question: How does magic work around here? Vancian? Power words? Ritual casting? Ley-lines and Nodes?

    Point taken.
    The king wears a large cloak, similar to yours, and a metal gauntlet (made with meteoric iron, which was available in the stone age). He has watery eyes, a bit too much blubber, and generally acts like an oversized child. His sister, though, is a towering woman with great red locks of hair (think Boudicca) and a keen mind. She also wears a norman-style cloak.

    For the satyr council, the chieftess wears a loincloth and body paint, and has brown-furred legs, she acts like a chieftess is supposed to even if her heart isn't in it at this point. The seeress wears a large rainbow-coloured robe, has grey fur on her goat legs, is quite young for her role and is still undecided as to how she should act. The chief hunter wears a loincloth, a club, and hide armour, he has black fur with white spots and is the most reactionary of the council (though he's quite moderate by human standards).

    I will post the centaur and the Sthosis when I'm not working from my tablet without my notes.

    Why did you say we would do a Q&A when you didn't have your notes...? ;p

    Magic is mostly based off religion. The human druids, the satyr seers and the Sthosi priests can all cast magic.
    The ritual consists of the mage asking the deity for something, and then making appropriate offerings and ritual gestures so to god agrees to do the magic.

    Thanks. That begs another question: my character is a servant of Glasherak, the god of the Rose Dragons, could she, in theory, learn to use magic here?

    1. I'm very god at making things up.
    2. I know most of it off by heart, I just wasn't expecting a "please give me all the details of all the leaders" *though I should have been...)

    You never answered this GE...

    No. Glasherak doesn't have a presence in this world, bar your character, so therefore he can't be contacted to work miracles. If she was to create a "Church of the Rose" or similar, thereby creating Glasherak or a version of Glasherak, she could tap his power to cast magic.

    That's what I thought you might say: ok, well, no making a church to her God when they have five days to sway a theocratic nation to going along with their unification plan...

    I'd just like to point out: one of the options for the next mission will probably be to simply stay in this world with a new task...

    EDIT: Got my notes back!
    The centaur leader wears nothing at all, and is heavily muscled. His horse-body is dappled, mostly light-brown, but white in places.

    The Senior Sthosi priest is not likely to play any role in this story, as he spends most of his time praying or sleeping.
    The senior priestess wears a pale yellow veil, the mark of a priestess of her godess, and layers on clothing beneath it. Beneath the layers, she has turqoise scales and a golden-yellow crest.
    The junior* priestess wears a light green robe, the mark of a priestess of her godess and a small loincloth under it. She has grass-green scales and a fire-orange crest.
    The junior* priest wears a dark brown robe, the mark of a priest of his god. He has rusty-red scales and a turqoise crest.
    *Junior as in that their gods are lesser gods, not that they are lower in the priestly hierarchy: all four Sthosi leaders are high priests or priestesses

    Besides this, all characters have fully-designed sexual characteristics, but the recon team (though they tried) didn't get to see any.

    Next questions: do you actually have names for the revolutionary faction and corporate faction? If not, do you mind my making them up?
     
  17. GenericEditor168

    GenericEditor168 Really Really Experienced CHYOA Backer

    The revolutionaries are, of course, The Resistance. They're split between the Greens (save the trees!), the Centre (let's reason this out) and the Bolsheviks (kill the bourgeoisie and distribute the wealth).
    I'll take your name for the corporation, though.

    Had an idea:

    Five more trans-universal groups: two empires, one basically a version of Rome which never fell, the other a version of Nazi Germany which WON WWII, another trans-dimensional nation based on Rome, but where Rome remains a republic, a multiple universe nation based on the United Nations becoming a true world government, and a university which travels between dimensions studying everything: "we observe and record, but do not interfere"...

    I'd just like to make a note: I've never actually done a PbP game before...Although i have considered it numerous times. If i ever get confused or sound confusing or derp out on PbP etiquette, it's all because i don't know any better :)
