Thinking about it, but I was leaving that up to you because it seemed like you wanted to do a lot of mage stuff. Right now I'm kind of stressed because its a big week for tests and tomorrow I have my Anatomy/Pathophysiology test along with the lab practical test. Sure its just bones for the lab, but its every single god-dang hole and dent in the bones. I'm basically redrawing the text book and I'm quite pleased with the way it looks, but so far I've done the lateral/superior/inferior/anterior/posterior views of the internal and external of the skull, the palmar/anterior view of the hands, anterior of the clavicle, anterior of the humerus, and the anterior of the scapula. I still need to do the posterior views, actually screw the posterior views I know what's back there... but I still need to do the vertebra, hyoid bone, ribs, sacrum, and foot.

Not certain yet as to what the weapons situation with mages will be..as in most cases their spells already give them some formidable weapons.

...Have yet to run any combat sims, but should get some in by tomorrow...perhaps later tonight ..maybe.

Still going over a few ideas.

Maybe the Adepts and Arch Mages can really only have a pistol, SMG, cheap rifle or shotgun but the Battle Mages should have some option but not as much as the rest of the hunters.

Geeze, Andy should have had a rocket launcher in BM1, and in BM2... and an attack helicopter... so many things I wanted.

huh, my (short lived) PC was dropped into Prague via a Little Bird chopper, that counts...I guess...

you know what?

I just had a vision of a conventional battle between vamps, werewolves and hunters...


it made WWII look like a water-balloon fight...

Welcome to BM:III. Ask FITZZ, and you might get.

Musater and Andy should have a Helicopter Joust, seeing as how they would be the only ones who have the fluff to get them. Maybe Joker, but he's just odd, so we'll put him in the "box of weird" with Dez.

One day...

... one day Chowder, I will rip out your heart, and smirk as you watch it stop beating...

Say, dez is an outcast, right?


that means yet another enemy...

on another note, I will be AFK for a week, starting on saturday

This scares me, the fact you know how our skeletons work, please don't do any torture scenes, for the love of all that's sane and my clean keyboard don't.

hmmm...

I am really considering scraping the knight for a 'newer' wolf character.

Oh, my test went...decently... I scored a 67% on a 234 question test, which is a lot better than the class average, but that makes me mad. Combined with the fethed up way the lab test works, technically its 200 questions but the way it works is that there are four true or false statements and we choose a combination of what's right, A=1 only, B=2 Only, C=3 Only, D=4 Only, E=1/2. F=3/4, G=1/2/3, H=2/3/4, I=1/2/3/4, J=None of the above, so there was absolutely no partial credit on it.

Basically I am incredibly upset so I will be taking it out on people in the RP, and my Biochem test is two classes long so expect a lot of torture involving chemical processes.

I live such a tiresome life. I'm having to drink half a bottle of coke just to fill it back up with Vodka.

Anywho, I was thinking for the next rp to have Ryan as less of a PC, and more of an NPC? I was going to revolve the story around Cass growing up, and in particular his minders Sansa and Nelson. Seeing as Cass will be the major NPC for me in the 4th (if he's still alive that is) I really want to lay some ground work for him prior to that, so that he's not some faceless character I don't care about.

So does anyone have any advice or CC on this idea? Ryan will be no way gone from it, he'll still be a big part of the story obviously, spending time with his kid, leading his black claw elite into tearing Cains head off, y'know, the usual. But he'll play a less dominate roll. This of course will require Cass to be about anywhere between 4-7 years old. Anyone have any ideas?

If he isn't old enough, I would use Cass more of a NPC with a PC narrative. He might still be entirely new to the concept of fighting hunters and vampires so Ryan, Holly, Sansa, or Nelson will be sort of leading him around and teaching him how to react to those situations and of course to keep him safe should everything become TARFU. Sansa or Nelson as the PC, the other being a NPC, and Cass as an NPC.

I agree with Halo...I've found that an NPC is only lifeless if you write him that way...I plan on giving my own NPC(s) as much cover as I do Harlow but given that this RP has been awesome so far it'll be worth the effort...

That and if Cass is an NPC he can always just be handed to Uncle Harlow.

...Y'know, I was wondering why I felt the other day that nobody cares about Harlow...and I just now realized why...people think he's a glorified babysitter...

How they got that idea I will never know but that depends on how ghosty feels about Harlow being a decent role model...this oughta be good...

Yup.

I have exams coming up, and I can't rp multiple characters at the moment.

WARORK!!!!!!

Andy can take care of Cass too you know, and I do not in any way mean that malevolently.

Oh, I believe that Mr. Bulletproof vest Esquire...

As for Nachos's Idea, I like it, but I want to have my rps centered around him, from his point of view, if you follow. He'll of course have less grip of the situation than the others, and will be obviously very childish. So the training on how to kill will seem like a game to him, not life and death, for example.

Well yeah...but if you make Ryan your NPC and dump him on me...I'll put him in a too-too and make him do the mambo...

Jk ghosty...that's Halo's territory...he seems to have cornered a monopoly on the illogical and hilarious...

Yeah, Cass will be the center of the show, or it will at least be from his perspective, but you'll be using the other characters to do most of the fighting. In fact you could have him as the minor NPC so that way he should be able to actually avoid a lot of combat, but that doesn't mean he won't be able to share his point of view with us. He could see the others playing tag with humans, or whatever child-like euphemisms you can think of, from behind a bush or something.

Does the US government know about werewolves and vamps? I would expect.

do they use them for military purposes?

also, I just thought of a new class of vamp.

Mordo, what do you think of a sort of ringwraith-esq type?

just a thought, I was leafing through the LOTR SBG rules manuel.

Not really, there was some fluff for one of the wolves who was part of a WW2 era German military scheme called Operation: Werewolf, but for the most part I don't think the military uses them. As far as the government knowing, a lot of vampires and wolves try to remain hidden.

alright, my character was part of the MACV SOG, I just have to edit a bit...

Bwuh, today was a horrible day...Got a seizure in the middle of the class, and managed to overdose on my codeine...
