  1. Is that something the PC will ever participate in, if only as part of a pre-determined adventure step?
  2. Do people remember what happened to cause so abrupt a shift in so short a time? And in either case is that something that could be discussed out in public, like the Y1 event between the mage in red and the mage in blue discuss the pros/cons of un-banning Gates?
  3. That seems to be a questionable long-term strategy, and who's to say he meant it like that anyway? Maybe it's just me, but I read that as a "I'm interested enough to ask you to remind me again when the project is in a playable state 10 months from now", not "come back when you've got something substantial to show".
  4. How much of that is...not "common knowledge to a layman", but if you were to ask a random person in Mineta about it how much of that advice would they know/have heard of?
  5. Did you miss this one, Legate ?
  6. I've heard of worse marketing strategies .
  7. So IIRC Y2 allows you to get a second Familiar, potentially. How all can a PC acquire a second Familiar, as in the actual animal/whatever else?
  8. Does that apply to just Mineta, or elsewhere as well?
  9. Speaking for myself: One thing that's always hard to keep in mind when typing adventures, but satisfying when it pays off, is that there's a far greater ceiling to what magic can do than the first year player is ever able to do him/herself at any point. Of course what all the person the player is interacting with is actually capable of is another question in it's own right, but when said person is someone like Macha or the "waiter"? Yeah, things can (from the PC's perspective) spiral out of control fast. I'm sure they'll appreciate the sheer degree of trust - what some might describe as suicidal recklessness - you'd show them in confiding that particular encounter. Than again, if you ever find yourself in need of allies on that particular path...there'd be worse options, I'm sure. (Speaking purely in terms of lore here, the actual follow-up adventure hasn't been finished yet and goodness knows I couldn't stick to a straight story if I tried, so...who knows where and how that'll end up)
  10. Too late, but as a possible alternative I believe you could have used the Emotion Pheme to give yourself Love, and assuming you didn't meet the conditions for the emotional state to end (not having Affection, although you did) it would have remained. What I also don't know, come to think of it, is if getting Love the normal way is mutual - the Pheme would only have targeted yourself, so I'm not sure if that meant you would have needed to do the same to Cinzia, in this case, in order to ensure that she got hit with Love as well.
  11. CoF can cause green checks to fail, but also things like negative bonuses - Cleanse and Remake gives you a -1 "bonus" to all ability/action/spell checks, and IIRC that is not accounted for in the color-coding. So if you cast a spell with C&R active even a green spell roll could potentially fail
  12. Using proper Mastery? I think that'd have to be advanced (and likely lost) knowledge, based on what a student in Y1 can learn from the various Mastery skills.
  13. Always fun to get something worth speculating about
  14. Assuming the option works I think a mod editing the reference table would be slightly better, but not necessarily by an appreciable amount. The bigger deal, I imagine, is to make sure that the Doll's little initial adventure stage on Juvenalia triggers.
  15. It's entirely possible that people just took the developer's word on how opposition worked and no one actually tested it ingame.
  16. Are bounties posted more frequently on criminals presumed to have fled to foreign lands?
  17. Pheme magnitude is another cut mechanic, yes. Pheme opposition isn't, however: Phemes that are opposed to each other cannot be a part of the same spell, or the spell will fail. This includes Phemes that are part of the spell itself, not just Phemes you add to it, so keep that in mind if you're ever using a Pheme with opposites to buff yourself.
  18. I'm actually not familiar with this mechanic at all, for the record. It might be something that was newly introduced recently or I just never noticed it. @Legate of Mineta, people be curious.
  19. Does that targeting actually work, come to think of it? Like Cyrus doesn't correctly target girls exclusively with his flirting, do the students that are meant to bully girls exclusively actually do so?
  20. So we've seen examples of humans with fey heritage living among humans, are there feys with human heritage/outright humans living among the fey?
  21. What does the Court of Grace do when one of it's cases has an aspect to it that the Innocent is too..well, innocent to hear? Is the Innocent excused, is the case not taken at all/thrown out on the spot, something else?
  22. Sensible, but aren't "needs to be pretty innocent" and "can set gender preference at character creation" kinda at opposition with each other? If the option is there one expects it to matter, after all.
  23. Mainly curious because what if the player doesn't know for sure, at that point? Just flip a coin, maybe roll a d20 and hope you don't regret it later? I feel like "uncertain" is a variable that the game should be able to keep track of, at least as early as Y2.
  24. Is that something a player has to commit to at that point? Because that seems a bit...early.
  25. Out of curiosity, how is that flagging going to be handled?
