Last time, the cabal found Whim's body and wound up getting hit by a car and slashed by a spirit while taking down Quentin Ester, the Banisher. After all that, they went to sleep ( Read more... )

We took a month of downtime, allowing the characters to have some vacation and spend some XP. The big change was the Falstaff finally joined a Legacy. Up in Cleveland, there's a cabal (the 6s and 7s met them once, and if you remember that I'd be impressed) which includes an Orphan of Proteus, so Falstaff joined up. As it turned out, that decision ( Read more... )

I just posted a new preview of Silver Ladder on the Flames Rising website. This preview is from chapter one of the new book:

Silver Ladder Preview

More previews will be on the way, although I think the next one will be for Changeling. If folks are interested I'll drop by with more info for the next Mage preview.

Leaving Echo behind in Chicago to do some mop-up with the Guardians (her player may or may not be joining us again for this chronicle; we'll see), they met up with Fin and headed to Denver to pick Fletcher up. Fletcher had been visiting with ( Read more... )

The 6s and 7s cabal headed out of town in early August (this game takes place 8/5/05) on their way to the Pacific Northwest to hunt down the Via Lunari. Fletcher, the werewolf that they nearly killed last time, was going to meet them later (player was out of town) and Fin had stuff to do (player was out of town suddenly, but hopefully is going to ( Read more... )

The chronicle picks up for the new story six weeks after the events of Lightning Genesis and Elusive Unity. During that time, Falstaff has worked more on becoming a respectable journalist (and is making progress). Bolg, now called Vulcan (though that may change, since there's already a mage of that Shadow Name in Cincy) has legal rights to Hades' ( Read more... )

OK, so let's pretend that there's a Legacy of mages that evolved from the S&M subculture and use pain and sensation as a means to enlightenment. What kinds of oblations would they use, do you think? Sex, duh, but what else?
