				As I said over in the interest check thread, since this setting is still very much in the 'ponder and brainstorm' stage, that third Fact is as much your chance to tell me who you want to be an important group in the game world...and your answers will be used.&nbsp; You're telling me, at least a little, what you want the game to involve.<br><br>Just like your goal tells me what you want you want to focus on in the long run.<br><br>So no, there <em>isn't</em> a definitive list I can just point to.&nbsp; But for starters, there's the usual alphabet soup list of intelligence agencies and government bodies around the world.&nbsp; Plenty of corporations to choose from.&nbsp; Educational and research institutions.&nbsp; Extended family.&nbsp; Neighborhood associations.&nbsp; Criminal gangs.&nbsp; Et cetera, et cetera.<br><br>I do have a couple of recent events that will be common knowledge, because of media coverage.&nbsp; That'll happen in the first 'story' post.

				I think it actually compares pretty well so long as your careful on what you get. Having an extra word opens up a lot in the way of ad-hoc miracles, and though they aren't equal, the passive benefits can be pretty impressive by themselves.<br><br>It's probably not usually the best choice at start, since it really limits your gifts, but I intend to focus more on 'big picture' stuff rather than a lot of personal combat, where my lack of cheap and repeatable gifts will be a serious impediment.

				Personally, I would much prefer picking up a fourth Word later on if at all; we only have 2 Effort to go around anyway, which is why I made Constant gifts a priority.<br><br>But we probably don't all need to be optimized for personal combat anyway -- I think I have that handled.&nbsp; (Hell, judging by the sample combat PDF, apparently I can get away with using Strength for thrown attacks.&nbsp; Or maybe that's because Fists of Black Iron makes everything a magical weapon.&nbsp; Either way.)<br><br>I definitely want Perpetual Perfection as soon as we level up, though.&nbsp; If/when this group develops allies and followers, they're going to need magical equipment.&nbsp; 8-)

				It's pretty awesome :)<br><br>The deluxe book has rules for creating mortal heroes, cybernetics (futurey and clockwork), divine supremacy, which is basically godbound epic play, godwalkers, which are giant theurgic mecha and are awesome. The Martial Strifes, which are basically supernatural martial arts, rules for making your own paradise, which is more epic play stuff, and themed godbound, which is pretty much "This is how you use Godbound to play Exalted."<br><br>Its like ~40 very dense pages of extra content.

				That would be correct--Ten Thousand Tools could be used to summon a weapon as part of the attack you make with it, just as 'readying' a weapon may be considered part of the attack.<br><br>You would have to ask Mr. Crawford for the precise reasoning behind that design decision, but as far as I can tell the math works out about the same either way (or at least it does when I compare SWN, OD, SH, and GB to the 'to hit' tables in my old BEMCI stuff).

				It's all the same. That's one of the funny things about comparing THAC0 and BAB and all that. They're all just different ways of doing the exact same thing.<br><br>You can convert one to the other with usually no more than one operation. <br><br>For example, to convert Godbound to classic THAC0, simply subtract your total attack bonus from 20. That's your THAC0. <br><br>To convert to 3rd edition style AC, simply subtract their AC from 20. That's their 3rd ed armor class. <br><br>Both operations also work in reverse.

				Hm, since it's actually becoming relevant:<br><br>I had always considered having Sophie be a Futa. Really, it's more accurate to say I thought I had established that she was, but looking back that seems to only have been in my own head. I seem to recall that at some point we discussed general ons/offs, and I remember at least someone wasn't particularly fond of that sort of thing.<br><br>Since it hasn't really been established anywhere, and I'm feeling semi-ambivalent (leaning towards 'yes more wiener'), I figured I would throw it to the crowd to see what people think.<br><br>The thought behind it was that it tied into the way her words manifested in her appearance. Her general golden hue, (as well as actual golden hair) for wealth, The rabbit ears and tail for luck. Her voluptuous figure (and the rabbit bits) representing feminine fertility, and then a big ol 'scepter' representing masculine virility (other fertility) and command.<br><br>That's just the story justification though. She could just as easily only have lady parts if people would rather, though she very well might give herself some 'temporary' additions at later dates if it seems appropriate ;)

				Idle is temporarily AFK, so I'm giving Jenny a chance to catch up before we move on.<br><br>Side note, one tiny problem I've had with this project is one of scale.&nbsp; The original idea was to use location tags from Silent Legions (Sine Nomine does sandbox cthuloid horror!) to build challenges for our demigods!&nbsp; Only problem is, and this came up on the google+ group from someone else who is trying the same mashup with Other Dust and Godbound...those tags generate challenges for mortal heroes.<br><br>And you guys aren't mortals.&nbsp; You're demigods.&nbsp; A lot of the problems presented may be easily resolved with the right Word.&nbsp; (Lookin' at you, Soph.)&nbsp; &nbsp;So I have to think a LOT bigger than I'd originally planned.&nbsp; :-)&nbsp; <br><br>Needless to say, this should have been really obvious from the start, but sometimes I need a clue by four upside the noggin to get it.

				Well, the godbound book does have a bunch of good advice on how to do that, so you might want to give the GM section another read if you haven't already. :)<br><br>The big things I remember are that a lot of the challenges in GB come not from whether you *can* do something, but rather *how* you want to go about doing it. The challenge of getting rid of a jerkface king isn't about simply doing it. Barring some kind of divine protections, its trivial for a godbound to kill the king, or mind control him, or replace him, or whatever depending on their words. The challenge comes from how the rest of the world reacts to that, and it kind of requires the godbound to have a connection to said world. You might kill the king, but that throws the kingdom into chaos, and they blame the neighbor kingdom and the region descends into war. You mind control the king, but his court advisers begin to suspect something's up and begin to undermine his power unless you pay constant attention to the situation. You could replace him, but now you have to play politics and find a way to do it legally, otherwise all you'll do is start a civil war. <br><br>That said, using those tags to generate small challenges still isn't a bad idea. Even if we can just bypass them with our powers, it gives us an opportunity to use them and be cool, which is valuable by itself. Just because you can open a door by turning a knob doesn't mean all doors stop existing. :)

				Yeah, I'm rereading it...although I don't have quite the problem that the other fellow has been running into, since I was using the tags mostly with an eye toward 'local color'.&nbsp; Problem is, when I initially did the prep, i was using Silent Legions and not Godbound.&nbsp; Silly mistake, I admit.&nbsp; But now that I have Sixteen Sorrows and the Ancalia Gazeteer and both the individual adventures to help me get my noggin in the right place...<br><br>I mean, when a Divine Blade Queen decides to do in a bandit with a sword, the only question is how many pieces he'll be in.&nbsp; She's a Goddess of Stab.&nbsp; Stab will happen.&nbsp; ;D<br><br>Dammit, I need someone else to run this baby so that I can play my Oasis States Death Goddess...

				Alas, it will be offsite. I had thought we would run it here on E, but the Muse had other plans.

				At a glance, I guess Engineering (w/Scientific Method) pretty much does all the same stuff Carlos was already doing with Artifice (w/Ten Thousand Tools), except with less trying to guess how many man-hours (insert job here) actually requires.<br><br>The book says on page 21 that Engineering (unlike Artifice) doesn't provide easy ways to produce large amounts of raw materials, but the base effect of the Word of Engineering lets you instantly produce any ordinary device (anything generally marketable) -- doesn't that logically include the parts to build bigger things, which seems a lot the same as having the raw materials you need?<br><br>(I'm not sure this is even <em>slightly</em> an issue either way when we're rolling through a nigh-apocalyptic wasteland littered with abandoned vehicles and probably ten million other things Carlos could repurpose, but still.)

				Engineering (from my brief skim) is really intended to be a direct replacement for Artifice in a more modern setting. <br><br>The big difference with Engineering is that instead of creating a permanent object out of whatever materials are to hand like Artifice, the Engineer conjures a temporary device out of thin air. So you can't really use the innate power to build components.<br><br>However, you can just take Lasting Artifice and conjure a fairly large (truck or shuttle) piece of technology out of thin air that is permanent.

				The devices from the innate power don't disappear <em>until you stop using them</em>, so by a strict reading you should be able to get away with a lot, but I guess it's probably not the writer's intent to let you conjure car parts one by one and have them all stick around as long as you're still driving the car.&nbsp; Oh well.<br><br>Still, as long as materials are present (and they clearly are), Scientific Method seems to handle all our "build things absurdly fast" needs.<br><br>It looks like Engineering doesn't get Perpetual Perfection, which I was seriously considering for whenever we level up...but then, Cutting Edge is probably even better.&nbsp; ("I figured out cold fusion during the drive over here.&nbsp; Gimme fifteen minutes to rewire the van.")

				Another few things to keep in mind when thinking of future plans:<br><br>1) you can bind more words as you level up.<br>2) The world might change around us as things progress.<br><br>I think engineering is definitely more appropriate and useful for the way things are now. However, if the celestial engines start breaking down (or whatever MP's equivalent is) and the physics that make technology work stop working (ala the core GB setting), perhaps the engineering word might shift form into artifice. Anything is possible :)<br><br>That's kind of what I'm thinking for the Desire word. At the moment, I feel like Command suits Soph better, but Desire definitely fits in more with my future plans. It's possible she'll either just pick up another word, or maybe her binding of Command might somehow shift into Desire as she becomes more self-indulgent :3<br>

				A bit late on this, but yes, consider Engineering a full replacement for Artifice as ours is a high-tech environment...and if Lexicon of Thrones had been out at the start of the campaign, that's what I would have suggested in the first place.<br><br>Funny you should bring up the breaking down of Celestial Engines...
