Those houserules sounds good enough to me... XD I'll have to see if I can find Scroll of Heroes to know what you're talking about. As for my chara. For now i'll keep him mostly the same, except likely move presence points to performance... The more I read, I keep recobbeling his plot in my head and wonder. What would make a better character: 1) Someone who just wants to take down the immaculate order by becoming a famous martial artist or 2) Someone who travels and helps out others/solars by posing as a 'kabuki-esque' performer/martial artist... using that to explain his powers. I wonder that because the courtesan style in martial arts book could be a good 'secret' art he began studying... and performing could provide a more sensible explanation for him getting more money in the long run. Heard anything more from anyone else? #2 does sound like a pretty awesome idea. Mixing that style (Dream Pearl Courtesan so and so whatever it was called) with some Performance and some excellencies could make an awesome character. They could still have the Motivation to take down the Immaculate Order, also. I'll PM some people to see what's up, but no updates as of yet.

True... And it could allow for good plot movements. If nothing else, if everyone else could just have 1 point in performance, we could pose as travelling performers, and could give a good hook for new people to join up as time goes on. -Will see about retweaking again-

Ok, so Playah and Wildknight both have some ideas, so we're looking at least 4 people, which would be enough to get something rolling. We've got an Infernal and 3 Solars (still hashing out 1 of the Castes.)
Anyone else interested? Let me know!

A binge-drinking womanizing gambling Sidereal, Pao Rei is as comfortable jangling the bones as he is breaking them. He has a dry sense of humor to say the least, and many people don’t know when he’s joking or when he’s dead serious; the fact he’s almost always stumble-down drunk doesn’t help either. Of course, except when he isn’t, or when he’s relying on his skill with the Orgiastic Fugitive Form to make it more of an advantage. He is not someone to be messed with, but he is often the one doing the messing. More than an itinerate god or recently exalted Sidereal has been left scratching their head in his presence.

I love that we're referring to a totally different game system's sheets with CAD.

As long as we all understand what it means, I don't mind ;D.

Sheet, CAD, toon... it's all gravy.
I'm starting a Conan game IRL, and I asked one of my players if he had his CAD ready last Friday. Confused the bejeezus out of him.

Thoughts: Prelude or no Prelude (and just decide some of those elements, like how you all know each other, before we start the first adventure)?

Depends on others. Depends on how all our finalized characters will interact.

Actually, no prelude. Unless there's some introduction to overall plot and some action attached. The last thing we need is "you meet in an inn and talk for months".

I think I agree. Just let us see how all the Sheets work out, and we can agree on where to start. Then, if we want, we could do side-story background esque examples per individual, or pair, or however we want in tandem with the main setting.

Okay. Nobody has anything finalized yet, so I might wait a little bit on this (new job training has taken up a lot of my time this week.) But I'll make a section, we'll post sheets and maybe do a little pregame. I have an idea of the opening just being you guys whaling on a bunch of bandits (just if only to give everyone a chance to try out some tricks and see what they can do,) but I can do with or without that.
