The Eye of Anubis: OOC Thread

OK, I'll do it later (assuming there is a later--that we don't start fighting or whatever before Chaz can pour more oil on the waters). Should I apply the same roll?

Nathan, Allikhain has your back if that man even breathes wrong on you. You are part of her job after all.

[Rock of the Fraternity]

Nah, she wouldn't be that afraid of letting us know she's an elf, and just facial features might not give it away.

My money's on Caliban or Fey blooded.

What if she were a Tepestani elf, pretending to be from Mordent? She'd have plenty of reason to be paranoid around humans then, wouldn't she?

Depends where in the Universe the humans are from.

[Kaitou Kage]

It's almost a shame that her bust is hidden by the ruffle.

Er.

I mean.

Women should be nicely covered at all times.

Regardless, I -love- ball gowns.

Not if her experiences were REALLY bad. Set on fire but escaped to tell the tale and count the scars bad, for instance.

[DocBeard]

It's certainly possible. I'm just going with my gut, here.

Announcement & Bonus XP

I've had one or two PCs complain that because of the pretty fast pace I set, there isn't really enough time to interact with all the snazzy Expedition NPCs I've created, and that quiet side-RP (such as romances or what-not) don't have time to blossom since something very exciting is happening during screen time.

Now this is all very flattering, but I'd rather not risk boring you guys with long downtime, so.....

Here's my proposal for how to solve this. Basically, if you want to interact with an NPC or PC off-screen, we shall do this via PM (AIM or Email also works at the agreement of all participants). Salient notes:

• -It needn't be at the specific time and place. This 'conversation' (though it can be just about anything) can have taken place since the end of the last Book, so at any time during the current Book and the most recent inter-Book Downtime.
  
  -If you want to interact with an NPC send me a PM, and we can carry on the conversation that way.
  
  -If you wish to carry on a conversation with a fellow PC, get their agreement and carry on the conversation however you prefer, and inform me of it.
  
  -At the conclusion of the conversation, it will be the PC's duty (all involved), to give me a transcript of the conversation for my records. This does not take long. Upon recieving the conversation, I'll give you a 100 XP for character-building side-RP.

So, for example, Khalil gets tired of having Fassahd beat around the bush, so he decides to strike a conversation later this evening when the group is getting ready to go to sleep. Lostboy sends me a PM, we RP a while, and at the conclusion he collects all the PMs (mine and his), sends them to me, and is 100 XP richer.

Second example: Prof. Theroux decides he wants to continue talking about Sri Rajian gods with Kuzan. YalenusVeler sends Kaitou Kage a PM, he agrees, and then they send me a PM informing me of what they are planning. Later, once they've had a relgion-based shoutfest, they both send me transcripts, and upon recieving them, each is awarded 100 XP for character-building.

Questions, comments, observations or lamentations?

[Rock of the Fraternity]

Sounds fair to me.

"But really, guys, can't we all just get along?"

[DocBeard]

Man, don't you know that if Strahd's name gets said three times while a group's in Barovia, he has to make an appearence? It's like Beetlejuice, man!

[Kaitou Kage]

Kuzan's a pretty amiable sort if people wanna chat with him.

[Rock of the Fraternity]

You might want to rethink that policy, depending on who exactly is looking for a chat. Especially in Barovia! o_o

[Kaitou Kage]

Oh, I meant of the PCs! And I will have to go through the list again and see if I can peg anyone in particular for some mutual bonus XP time.

[Gonzoron of the FoS]

some mutual bonus XP time.

For some reason that sounds dirty to me....
