It takes 200 hours of practice to earn one character point towards a skill. Does that seem fair to you? /Jubal

I'm not convinced that it will ever be rolled, but then again, my sheet is covered with a dozen skills that I'll never use but are required by my background. And hey, as long as I'm doing the deed, I may as well count it as training time! Increases my point total and all that.

Allow me to say "O_o" again.

wdunderwood is running the game, which is set in 1121, 1122, [probably moving on into further years]. First session was the siege of Sutri in April 1121, when the forces of [Pope] Callixtus II defeated those of [Antipope] Gregory VIII. The second session was the Concordat of Worms in September 1122, when Callixtus II met with the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire to eliminate the emperor's control over the church and generate more or less the papal election system that we have today.

My character is a middle child of a minor French noble family and a squire who is rapidly approaching his knighthood. dreamofk is playing an androgynous girl who sort of acts as the left hand of God as a member of a very loose spy program within the Vatican. It's an interesting "party", particularly since my character didn't learn that K was a girl until the end of the second/beginning of the third session. There are also two GMPCs, a father and son pair. The father is a smart, attractive, lecherous scholar. His son, who is actually called "The Scholar", is a scarred, ugly ( ... )
