				Please feel free to use this thread to discuss anything at all related to the story.&nbsp; My hope is that we create a solid group of writers and a <em>community</em> where we can discuss our ideas freely (over chat or forum).&nbsp; I'll run a group, big-story thread as a GM, but I hope people will develop side stories with one another.&nbsp; This is largely a group RP in construction so bear with the abstractness &lt;3.&nbsp; You are always welcome to message me for more detailed information, but I encourage you to voice your interests or ideas on this thread for the sake of collaboration.&nbsp; If needs be I do have a very detailed setting and plot worked out, but I want to encourage participation as much as possible.

				This looks pretty interesting, though I already have a question: are witches intended to unilaterally follow Hekate and the paradigm of Thelema, or is there room for alternate (potentially false) beliefs?

				It's mentioned, but the detailed entry only references those, so I figured it's better to ask.&nbsp; :-)<br><br>Edit: oh, Joel, I just saw that you're into Fables. Did you have a chance to check out any of the spinoffs, like Jack of Fables or the still running Fairest? I probably ought to mention The Unwritten as well, if you're not familiar - it's pretty good on it's own, deals a lot with the concept of stories and narrative ... <em>and</em> the series also did a brief crossover storyline with Fables.&nbsp; O8)

				Amarlo you lovely unicorn.&nbsp; I await your character bio.<br><br>Thanks Vondoom for your question,<br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">are witches intended to unilaterally follow Hekate and the paradigm of Thelema, or is there room for alternate (potentially false) beliefs?</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>The answer is no... Hekate and the view of Thelema is only one route... but there is only one sort of magick in this setting and the different paradigms or beliefs about it are only different ways to get or use it.&nbsp; The unifying idea in this story is that magick and physics actually will meet and therefore there are unifying laws between them that are definitely beyond the immediate setting.&nbsp; Hopefully this make sense to you.&nbsp; What I mean to say is that there is a lot of room to be creative, but this is a setting that encourages subtlety in the occult.&nbsp; There are consequences and COSTS for ostentatious usages of magick.&nbsp; Essentially, the setting assumes there's a reason why the modern age has disregarded the occult and I invite you to develop reasons why.&nbsp; (additional lore is available too)&nbsp; <br><br>edit: dear vondoom, I have read the jack of fables and am aware of the other associates in addition to the crossover with unwritten (of course bigby is on the cover).&nbsp; I think you might have nailed my feels for this group roleplay.&nbsp; It is essentially fables + hellboy.&nbsp; <br><br>so @#$#@% excited to rp with you guys!!

				update:&nbsp; I've added a little more information to the plot and also a list of the central characters to give you a better idea of where this story might go.&nbsp; My idea is just to keep the BIG story like some background element that we may or may not explore in the immediate roleplay.&nbsp; It is however something that drives a lot of the events that are happening.&nbsp; Basically if you are familiar with Hellboy, this other thing is the "Ogdru Jahad".&nbsp; In this setting they are... similar.&nbsp; Essentially imprisoned ancient things.

				OK...I'm hooked on the theme at least, though the last thing I should do is get into another game.<br><br><br>When I have a&nbsp; free moment, I may bounce either a Dark Fae or a vamp off you.

				Hey attention all, I am going to shelf this group RP.&nbsp; While there were some interested parties, I don't think theres enough players to make a good go of this.&nbsp; Keep an eye out, I'll certainly explore this again later.&nbsp; And to everyone who had dropped by, THANKYOU and &lt;3

				This idea needs to be resurrected. I can think of several other people on E I could pull in who would love to immerse themselves in this world. Including me, obviously.
