I've invited runekyndig, PhoenixScientist, witchdoctor, eldarin, Psybermagi, KCC, and Kier01 squeezes in as the 7th (a tight fit, let's see if we can manage!)

Thank you everyone for the strong interest in this game, I'm wowed by the enthusiasm! And also for the history some of you have with it. Excited to play together! (Yes I did finally set up the game page!)

ThetaSigma is right though, we are oversubscribed, and whilst we could play with a large class of students, a big group might be too unwieldy. Could I hold you off for now?

I'm going to go with those who've managed to send in a pitch (whether here or discord), and also those who indicated earlier. Invites will be sent in a moment!

MajorMazer85, we spoke about my Vampire game rebooting, so I'm gonna send you that way soon, if that's okay.
Sounds fair, no worries about me I hope you guys have a great game, let me know in the future for the VTM campaign

Quite understandable. While a larger group is kind of apt for the school setting, it’ll be a lot of work, hopefully also a lot of fun. I also realise that my thumbnail sketch concept was not necessarily set up to play well with (all) others, but sometimes an idea almost forms itself, and I’ve not had the time to come up with a replacement.
I wish you all the best of luck!

Far be it for me to stymie the enthusiastic vibe coming from your pitch. We can tweak that initial proposal of yours, I'll shoot you an invite!

I was afraid you’d already had dropouts; I’m not sure whether that, or being the eighth mage (thankfully this isn’t Discworld!) would worry me more. I see (gratefully!) that you’ve decided to stretch to eight; I hope you don’t have cause to regret it.
An easy way to tweak the concept is to dial back the anger part, and the spikiness, and replace it with some sort of reserve, such as might be fostered by martial arts training. I’m considering someone with two Trad mage parents, one Akashic, one Verbena (the seed of the anger was partly a matter of an avatar with a legacy from the Burning Times; kind of a ready-made inner dark side issue?)
However you indicated some character development tweaks, which might affect how choices are made…?

Have fun everyone!

Sorry I missed this one - kinda obsessed by Mage the Ascension and with gamer burnout maybe clearing up, this sounded like a lot of fun. Wishing you a great game together!

Good to hear from you, and happy to see you might be getting back into some games. Hit me up soon, who knows we may make space! :)
