Doing the Lexicon

[jeregenest]

I’d like to do a Lexicon for tantaene animis caelestibus irae. The goals for this would be to take the source inspiration of GURPS: Cabal and Nephilim and turn it into something zanier and at the same time more coherent. The benefit hopefully being a background of stuff that didn’t involve the players that seems more organic than if I just did it myself.


I’m thinking that we’d do eight rounds (telephone keypad), twice a week (Tuesday and Fridays), same format as Lexicon of the Lost 500 Years, which I think was the most successful of the Nobilis Lexicons.

The general mission statement would be: To provide a fantasy of history that will serve as an inspiration and back-story to much that happens in tantaene animis caelestibus irae, deepening the connections but not taking the place of the unfolding story of the characters.

Now to go and create a wiki on seedwiki, that being the extent of my skill and capability with such things.

Is there any more documents I need to create for people to feel comfortable doing this?

So who’s in?

While I suppose it isn't strictly necessary, I think it would be good to nail down when and where the five past incarnations took place. Otherwise the Lexicon might consist entirely of irrelevant phenomena, instead of just mostly of irrelevant phenomena.

Others may disagree.

Either way, I'd also like to see a one-page (or so) "setting bible" that defines just what the source inspiration is, so everyone's on the same page. I didn't realize what the Arcana societies were until last night, for instance.

First of all, in a game like this nothing is iirelevant. I don't think is necessary to know the eras we chosoe right away to start, though it ould b helpful by the third round.

As far as setting bible, do you need more than this (http://www.livejournal.com/users/jeregenest/120739.html)?

Shit, how'd I miss that?

I find livejournal looses posts from my friends list every now and then.

Can anyone play? Because it would be groovy if I could contribute.

My hope is that I can get all the cool creative folks on my friens list to participate. And yes, that especially means you.

Having missed several previous Lexicons, I think I'd be interested, if it's twice a week. Creativity can be forced to flow if it wouldn't otherwise....

Excellent

Now that I'm not traveling for work anymore, I'm actually around on Tuesdays and Fridays. Count me in?

Love to have you.

Hadn't realized seedwiki went to a pay model

Let's see:

1. Conspiracies
2. Mystical weirdness
3. Secret History
4. Lexicon

Hell, yeah! Can I play?
