NWO

The lovely pax_draconis emailed me my player pack yesterday, having already posted it to me by post. I'm probably going to have to be a lot more on the ball than I was expecting, and oh God, I have to remember names and places and all sorts of things. Still, the brief gains enormous points for the appearance of a wholly unexpected name. It's only mentioned in passing so I don't expect to see him at the event, but still, it's nice to know the Demon's Head exists in the game world...

(Oh, and I'm not talking about Divis Mal. Though that, too, does amuse.)

The rules are pleasingly simple, though there doesn't seem to be any sort of limit on how many times you can cast spells at or below your Art level. Maybe I've just not got to the part about Twilight yet. Or something. Parma VioletsMagica is so the way to go.

LINK OF THE DAY: They don't make 'em like this any more. Damn, I'd forgotten how good this advert was... (NOOISEY)

Ooooo, don't suppose you've got the music from the marble levels of Sonic 1?

Yeah yeah. Still, toe the line or your ass is on the line.*

Look Cicero - I can balance a ball on my nose!

* Variation on original in case it appeared too suggestive.

There is no limit on how many spells you can cast each day, just a limit on how long you can take between the castings.

The same is true of the tabletop game; as long as you're casting formulaic magic, you can keep casting as long as you want.

At a previous game (The Levant, IIRC) I had to cast about 30 - 40 sense the nature of vis spells because we needed to check an entire tent's contents for magic.

This is a game for Mages; this isn't D+D :-)

It's a very fun game with elegant rules and wonderful writing. And a quick look through the player list features most of the great and the good of UK LRP, imho.
