Sorry, I’m buried under a big pile of work at my real job, so I can’t respond right away, but don’t worry, I’m absolutely fine with you “pestering” me Honestly, I’m flattered
Faith is a very personal thing, and I don’t want to canonize any particular teachings – it’s something for the group to figure out.
My own Temple of the Incandesce of the Sun is heavily based on Islam, but that’s only because Islam has influenced my own life, and that’s what I want to talk about – but your experience is probably different from mine.
Oh. I just realized I didn’t ever mention it. How I see it, the Sun burns away souls, and in the end, only a lifeless husk remains, devoid of will and emotions.
I guess after dozens and dozens of writes and rewrites this was so ingrained in my mind that I forgot that other people can’t read my mind
Just like religion itself, Schism is something to be defined by your group – it should be over something important specifically to you. When I ran the game, in three separate groups:
- Whether “Men” in “First Men” refers to “Men” as males, or just people in general – so can women hold positions of power?
- We invented two Beastslayer Saints, and then decided that it was debated, whether they were lovers, or just friends. We gays make everything about gays.
- It was just about two groups competing for dominance, to highlight how corrupted exploit the religion for their own personal gains.
Struggle over race sounds cool! I really like it.
They are. They don’t die of old age, so there are some elves who have lived for thousands of years.
I thought about it and decided against it. Unlike Blades, I want my game to be about specific characters, not their organization as a whole – though you certainly can create their crew as an NPC with Tier and moves.
They can, although its restricted – you can’t take special abilities of other classes more than three times.
The actual reason why there’s no breakdown is a bit silly – I couldn’t figure out how to lay out Position/Effect table lol. I will add it in a next update, but I’m drowning in work right now, so I don’t have an ETA.
Another reason is, I personally advice people to come up with exact complications before rolling the dice – “You can try it, but you risk suffering Extreme harm” instead of “Ok, that’s a Desperate position”, but that’s not that important to my vision of the game.
It should be 2 load, thanks for spotting it.
