General Discussion

Welcome, and thank you for joining this game!

Our sources are the M20 edition, and also Book of Secrets for the Virtues and Flaws. Don't need any other books I think!

with enough dots in Time you can certainly play Kyle Reese! :P

Putting my discord link here, Bedzone II, there's a Mage channel!

My first nudge is for everyone to have a look again at the Worldbuilding thread. I've written up some background for the school and its setting. See if that prompts some initial ideas, or for those who've fleshed out much more aleady (and thank you for doing so!), see if this matches what you're envisioning.

Give me your thoughts, remember I'm welcoming some co-construction. The setting should make your PC feel as if they've been in this school for years (unless they are a transfer student, also possible), and they know the city as well.

Next up, I'll describe the school itself in terms of buildings, programmes, faculties, etc. Hopefully that will further help you flesh out your PC. (No worries if I haven't approved any character sheets yet, I'll get there.)

Lemme generate another! Links expire. Try this one.

Thanks for your submissions so far! I'm now working my way through them, so there's still time to get a draft in, even if incomplete.

Thanks! Map still feels too boringly laid out. I shall fiddle some more!

I would count on it! Seniors leading the way in all sorts of shenanigans!

Some of us are in a decent place to start, even if not everyone has put together a full character yet. Thank you for your reasonably complete character sheets, some parts of which are still open-ended, because we're intending to tweak them a bit more as we play out session 0. Please be open to any small changes along the way.

For those who are still jiggling their character concept, I'm perfectly fine with you starting a little later; perhaps you need to see how the first parts of the story unfold. (And in-game, maybe it's because your PCs are late for the first day of school!)

Expect a bit more worldbuilding from my end to give us some more details. You'll all be from the same form class, even if your subject combinations might be different. So some of you might already be good friends, (or dislike each other), and you would certainly be familiar with some of the teachers, coaches, etc while others might be new to you.

One necessary conversation before we start. I need to hear if there are no-go areas, taboo topics, for anyone. Best to mention them here, but if they are private, drop me a message here or in discord. I will need a reply here, however brief, to acknowledge this.

Expect situations of physical and mental danger possibly affecting up to the youngest in the community (high school starts around 14), with harm, loss and death; emotional and psychological teen trauma arising from circumstances we might construe as manipulative or abusive; various permutations of relationships (parental, sibling, teacher-student, friendship, romantic) and their positive and negative consequences. I do not expect any of the conflicts arising to be motivated by race or religion, although gender-bias might still be portrayed in some small instances.
