Debriefing Chat & Upcoming Details

[Dreams of Thorn and Sand Lead Storyteller]

Hello everyone. Great game today! I hope everyone had a good time.

I will be on the Wiki's chat page available at http://tucsonchangeling.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Chat if anyone wants to come in and have a word about the game with me in realtime, or a group of folks want to chat about the game or Changeling in general!

First, a few issues. One, I forgot to have people sign in. Again. Whoops. If you attended, try and send me an E-mail with the subject ATTENDANCE and I'll file it all away. Also, if you live with or see other players in the group, please tell them to get on the mailing list.

Second, tonight and (more likely) tomorrow I'll put out more about downtimes, motleys, scene days, craft nights, and some notes about characters and the stick system. Some highlights:

1. Everyone will get a free downtime to interact with an NPC of their choosing. Also, I am thinking of splitting downtimes into three phases - Post game, intra-game, and pre-game. Thoughts? Would this help you guide or organize the things you want to do?

2. Potential craft nights will go up on the calender the moment that someone offers to host them.

3. Possibly overlapping with craft nights, I want to have at least one scene day to run a side or downtime scene for groups.

4. I will be posting a Motley Status thread, and I will be re-arranging the Website to contain more of the specific info in threads on the mailing list.

5. All of the 'Threads' in the mailing list will be indexed or at least listed someplace. 

6. Some people's characters have been toeing the line of too far outside our themes of nostalgia and reclamation. I will be reaching out for folks to help reign things in thematically or help re-write a character. This is the last game I'll be allowing something I'm unsure of brought to me at the beginning of game with zero input from the storytellers. Some of the characters people look up to are that way because they were developed in a group atmosphere with other people acting as feedback and filters. Crazy in Changeling is Serious Business. We like actual personal struggles and issues (Narcissism, Addiction, Emotional Detachment, Histrionic, and Dependence Social Disorders), all of which show up in our game whether you notice or not) and dislike "I'm Crazy because I don't want to sit down and figure out what my character's actual issues are and play them consistently"

Keep in mind if you have a position now would be the perfect time to use that NPC chat you get for free so you can contact the person who can tell you about your job duties.  For mallory, you'd be contacting me.

Just so everyone has it readily accessible, and I'll try to post something similar to the wiki, here's a list of NPC's people have met so far that you may wish to use your down time to chat with:

Bruin, the thoughtful Spring Monarch

Edmund, the extraordinary Summer Monarch

Mallory, the crazy Fall Monarch

Adelle, the stern Winder Monarch

Petyr (I guess, if you really miss his snark that much)

Thomas, Summer Court and member of the bramblewalkers

Also, feel free to try to hunt down any NPC who hasn't been personally introduced yet, such as the leaders of the various clubs.

Some people have also met

Dominic Merci, courtless of the Outskirts

Marteau, the Winter Queen's driver and secretary

Miss Q, the Ogre artist

They might be harder to get in touch with, but are still out there.

Oh, and at least one individual has met Marcellus Mercedes and could try to contact him further.
