I can't make new commitments in the short-term in good faith. Especially with Palladium.
Perhaps I'll have a better grasp on managing my time once things have settled with the recent job change. So far things are going well at least. Either way, best of luck and Godspeed.
Could be fun, I was thinking of writing up itinerant Shikari as the concept, if I add the house Tepet label on there, perhaps he's been badgering the Outcaste about joining up with the house for the sake of helping rebuild their numbers and giving our Sidereal a clean connection also.
Not just having rules for all the big splats out the gate, I mostly prefer Essence for having both a relatively level playing field and a more satisfying charm space. The attributes still feel a bit weird, but other than that everything else has been pretty good so far.
I'll narrow things down...
Always a good time when I can manage to make time and outside of this, been down to one game for a while.
I'm up for most anything party composition wise though personal preference for my own character are Dragon-Blooded, Solar, or Lunar and I'm avoiding Liminal, Alchemical, and Getimian for now.
I've been too scarce as it is. I can't say I could join another Palladium game in good conscience given how much I tend to fumble over the system. Best of luck for this game though.
In my case, I wasn't intending to dabble in literal crime, but I'll have to see where the cards fall on character building. If it helps with brainstorming, Tien is a Battles division Sidereal, so perhaps a warrior or espionage type would make the most sense.
At the moment I'm leaning SPSitV...
I'll probably change up the martial arts styles since Scarlet Patterned Battlefield isn't around to do silly things with Citrine Poxes of Contagion style this time around, but yeah it's looking like I'll end up in House of Battles.
As for Sherwood, I wouldn't mind having a comrade of a sort...
This definitely has my attention, but I don't have the books presently. If I can get my hands on them in a timely manner, I'd like to try and give it a shot if there's room.
I'm not really equipped with the materials nor the spare time to jump in and learn, still glad to see you're back and in good cheer. Good luck man!
Also, I suspect D's phone auto-corrected Ars Magica to answer magical. He's wanting to know what system that game runs on I assume.
