kingandyApparently Maelstrom mailshot has started to arrive. I can only wonder if mine has reached Ilkley yet. Meanwhile the Bahadhu mailing list (for Clan Anaguma and associates) has exploded with activity, as has the Pagga.net forum.
Something I'm picking up from the references to Eidolons is that they are not the new name for Demons - that's Fallen Eidolons. Which means Eidolons are ... Heh. Given one of the inspirations for my costume (the guy in the middle), maybe an Eidolon would be a suitably punny choice of character.
No commitments until I've read the rules, now, but it would be kind of cool. It would also explain why I'm dressed Chinese while everybody else is dressed Japanese... As long as it's not toooo cheeesy.
Addendum: Package arrived from Playwell containing 2 pairs Kung-Fu pants (one pair straight-leg, one pair gathered) as well as Ninja Belt, Zorri Sandals and Tabi Socks. Not sure about the socks - the stiff sole makes them a bit uncomfortable, and the camel toe is not quite long enough for the sandal toe-divider to fit into properly. May have to go barefoot. The Ninja Belt is nice, but very modern materials - it'll have to either go under the jacket or wait for Waypoint (for which it will Do Nicely, Thank You).
On examining the website, I may well have ordered the wrong size Tabi - on account of the radio button for "44" being on a different line from the number "44". ... On further examination I think I was trying to order 43, as my shoes are usually size 9 or therabouts. Oh, such confusion. I wonder if they do returns, I shall consult with them.
Update: Yes, they are happy to exchange. Now I will have to try them out and see if I want to.
