Where are you hosting this game? - Dasmen
Seconded, as is my interest. I'd like to see someone run a Fair Folk game -- Somori
Not completely sure... I wanna run it, but I gotta figure a few things out. I'll keep you peoples posted, though. -DarkheartOne
Wait... are you looking for players? (please please please please please) -- OhJames
All I can say is that I'd prefer no more than 4 PCs, and the gametone would be dark humortastic. ¬_¬ -DarkheartOne
Heck yes am I in on this. Also I want to run a raksha game on the Ex Libris Nocturnis forums, and I need players, so if you ever happen to frequent over there... -- OhJames who just headbutt his dog out of excitement
Two questions:
- Can I get in on this?
- So, Artaxis beheaded Dew Takes Wing... But he and she are both Fair Folk, so what stops her from just immediately re-shaping herself back to life? Is she just staying dead because it's more interesting that way? (I'm still iffy on my full understanding of the Fey.)
-- Kukla
- If he cut off her head as a shaping action, yes, but if he used a normal action, she's dead. Remember, you can only ignore the normal actions of being less real then you. - Dasmen
- Wait, you're sure? That seems amiss. Kukla
- Well, even most 'normal' means of death can be shaped away while in the Wyld; that's why raksha duel so often---they don't usually have to worry about duels being career-enders, and it keeps their lives thrilling. It takes explicitly magical and intentional means to kill, or the actions of the Creation-born. To kinda settle the question: Wing is dead. Really dead. Artaxis carries four swords with him all the time; one is cold iron. Do the math.--DH
- You need to look at the book again. "The Attacks of Wyld creatures, Wyld-mutated creatures and various hazards of the Wyld, cannont permanently affect raksha unless specifically stated. Damage and change from such sources can simply be wished away by a shaping actionDarkheartOne/I> (see pp. 133-135). Nor can mental or social influence from such a source turn the raksha from this option. The raksha are still vulnerable to the direct actions of the Creation-born, other raksha, and certain phenomena of the Wyld." The bold is mine. - Dasmen <i>who infroms you he was never hereDarkheartOne/I>
- I despise the layout of the Fair Folk book. So hard to find information, and what you do find is so confusing... Kukla
- Didn't RBS explain that she meant something completly different than what she wrote in that part of the text? Just look at Subarto in the Introduction fluff? Skewered but not dead. Speaks for itself, no? -Norhg
- To my knowledge, no - and I followed the whole Fair Folk thread for quite a while. Several other people have said that, but, to my knowledge, never someone accully connected to White Wolf. - Dasmen
- Raksha have to go to considerable lengths to kill one another permanently, which I imagine covers cold iron (which would have people looking at you nastily if you readily carried!). Normal means just don't cut it; Subarto dueled with the lady, threw the fight, and she ran him through. Then he blew his shaping action to will himself alive again. His spirit was under no special requirement to accept her killing of his body, so it was not to be; she was probably only using a 'plain' gossamer weapon. It's noted in the rear of the book that they duel each other often because death is painful, but temporary, so long as "magical weapons and certain Charms" (page 302) aren't used. --RakshaBoy, who needs to remember to tag shite.
Possibly, or she might actually be dead. Or, at least, a reasonable facsimile thereof. He might have hit her with some weird and unpleasant shaping effect to force her to remain as a severed head for a year and a day(etc), or possibly just stolen and crushed her heart or all sorts of other things. Without more detail, noone can truly say ^_^

-I'm certainly in, I have no game going at the time and I have been looking for a Rakshasa game for long!- Norhg
Need moore Fair Folk storytellers... -Talion
- If it gets us more games, yes! Norhg
Anyway, as far as getting in, I've got one person so far (OhJames) that has expressed enough interest for me to take any submissions he sends over into high regard. Still, I'm not sure how to go about fairly filling the rest. Keep posted, I might come up with something. --RakshaBoy
- Oh boy oh boy! I sure hope I could get in. Kukla
- So what do we need to do to get in? Make a character I suspect. -- Somori
- Why would you assume that? It's the standered proof of entery, but it doesn't in and of itself show you understand the Fair Folk. -Dasmen<i> who wants to know himselfDarkheartOne/I>
- I'm inches from saying 'open submissions, but I will review and approve those which look to be the most likely to fit in the game's tone'. First-come-first-serve is somewhat unfair, and I'd like to be able to see what there is all to offer before I dive headlong. Besides, nothing is actually set in stone... lemme clarify a few things. -RakshaBoy
- In understanding is nothing, in nothing is the only understanding. Err, yeah. Question answered with a very sensible plan. Now to actually contrive a being of the Wyld Places. -- Somori
-Blame Canada indeed -Norhg
- back to Sex, Lies and Gossamer
