<div style="text-align: justify;">I'm currently working on an <strong>opening post </strong>for the game!<br/><br/>( <em>Cue expressions of astonished disbelief</em>  :-[ )<br/><br/>A couple of weeks ago, I put up this post (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=347850.msg16383856#msg16383856), offering a summary of people's current connections in the city and mentioning a few possibilities for how characters might have come across each other.  There's no requirement at all to pursue any of those, but you're running out of time to do so before the game starts.  ;D<br/><br/>I know that some sheets are still being finalised... I'm not too bothered about getting things definitively settled just now, since I'm intending to treat the opening scene as a sort of 'prelude'.  If, after a little bit of play, you discover that something simply doesn't work for the character, I'm quite willing to let you change it.  A number of us are new to the system, and elements of it are <em>not</em> easy to grasp - so if there are any "oh, it works like <em>that</em>?!?" moments, then I don't want to insist that people stick by the precise details they initially picked.<br/><br/>In effect this opening scene is a 'free shot' at seeing whether your characters feel right.  If you discover that there's something you feel you need to change, I'm very likely to let you - and, especially for those characters new to their powers, this can be a wholly in-character discovery of the form into which their abilities settle after an initial stress-test.  This first outing for the characters is a chance to explore them and their powers, and to find out how everything holds together (or doesn't!) without worrying about me making you suffer in the long term for not getting your design 'right' at the beginning.<br/><br/>If there's anything you want me to tell you or that you need my help on, do let me know.  At points, the world feels at least approximately in-focus and comprehensible, so I might even be able to offer a bit of accurate information or worthwhile advice.  ;D</div>
