Silver Insanity

Topic names are of the format TIMESTAMP : NAME Timestamp : Starts with year, then a period, then which scene it is. The year is always the year in Amber. Dates in Shadow are subject to oddness. The scene #s are an attempt to keep things in chronological order. So, scene 3 should happen before scene ...

Some basic Amber Timeliney Stuff: (note, shadows can have whatever time speed they want, so this is in amber time. For example: In a specific shadow, it's possible 100 or even 1000 years passed between years 3 and 4.) This is subject to PC origins. NPC origins are not set in stone yet either. For no...

I figured I'd make a few notes on this for those who are reading it. There are a few concepts this highlights fairly well. First off, I mentioned the Pattern was drawn 7 years before game start so Asai's reality isn't more than 7 Amber years old. That being said, time on other shadows can pass faste...

(If you'd like to play Morgana, just ask. She's more here to give you an idea of what it takes to be a leader. She is designed to play with various powers.) Morgana is big. At 6' 8" and about 400 lbs, she's huge all around. Being an ogre, her mouth is oversized with a flat nose and long stringy...

(If you'd like to play Julius, just ask. He's mostly a filler character at the moment, so would best be replaced by a PC. He is an example of a not so human member of court. The knight of this suit is likely a centaur.) Not all of the people Dworkin has recruited are human. Julius is a troll, a gree...

There's another way to make a character. Run through a prelude with me, and you'll have a complete character when we're done.

(If you'd like to play Oberon, just ask. He has some dark secrets, and is here to help demonstrate what members of court do with themselves. He always has things to do and diversions galore. In the books he "wins' Dworkin's game, but that's not for a few centuries at least and we've taken a num...

(If you wish to play Darnell, just ask. As an NPC, he is tasked with geting newcomers up to speed with 'public secrets' and information. His motivation allows him to do that, then become a more interesting player once people start expecting his information.) Darnell is a fop. The fact he's a long ea...

Strength vs Warfare : Dealing with most weapons, you use warfare. Warfare dictates how good you are at dodging, for example. And how effective your parries are. However, there is a level of Strength where your body cannot move fast enough to make a difference. That level is Human (-25). So, if you'...

Experience 2: The Invitation Sometimes Dworkin is a bit more rational. It's uncertain why this happens, perhaps it is when people are more inclined to be interested in Amber without the heavy-handed aspects. In these cases, Dworkin will lead the character to Castle Amber, and introduce them to court...
