Out of Game Announcements

I just wanted to update this. Last session was awesome, and I hope we can keep it up! You’d all have a lot more experience if you wrote things on the wiki! JUST SAYING. Along those lines, Rachel gets an Animus Emblem for updated the journal for me when I had a brain fart. Thank her, bring her cupcakes, and may the fourth be with you all.

Edit: Make that TWO Animus Emblems!

Happy Pi Day! Big thanks to Theo and Mike, who earned the party’s first Animus Emblems. The next session will be on Saturday the 23rd, and we’ll be joined by a potential 6th player, Brandon Wilcox. Be sure and read those backgrounds because they are a delightful read!

I made a new DeviantART account for Animus Lost. In the favorites section, there are folders grouped by race that you are free to use for whatever purposes you like. (Just credit the Deviant, please. And tell them that they’ve been featured! Or tell me and I’ll do it.) The pictures in the featured folder of the favorites are already in use, however, and if one of them is JUST PERFECT we can switch something out, but keep that in mind.

The site is here: http://animus-lost.deviantart.com/

I’ve added pictures for character races on their appropriate pages. I got them all from DeviantArt and I’m very happy with how those pages turned out. I’m still working on getting all the lore out of my head and on the site, but it’ll be worth it in the end! You are part of The Cartographer’s Guild, after all, and would have access to this kind of information. It’s a booming empire, and knowledge is more accessible than ever!

While you’re perusing (and this especially goes for previous FTS players), let me know if anything doesn’t make sense or just feels “off” in any way. There’s a lot to do before this game starts and I can use your help! Similarly, if you have any ideas for religions, cultures, or anything, just make a note on the appropriate page (or make a new one, or whatever) and I promise I’ll see it.

Thank you all so much!

This is the beginning. The wiki has been created and the bones of it established. I’ll be fleshing it all out as quickly as possible to give the players as much time as possible to digest the massive amounts of information available here. This world has a lot of relevant history and knowing it will make the game a lot more inclusive. There are endless possibilities for character origins from all across Vulcanica and more!

I’ve got a tentative start date for mid-February, but we still need to decide as players what the weekly day and time will be. For the Dawn Patrol, we started out on Friday evenings, then moved to Saturday evenings. I think one of those two days would be best.

Lastly, I’d like to get some confirmation on players. I think I can handle up to five players, and so far I have one that’s absolutely confirmed (Forest), two that I’m pretty sure are firm (Nick and Theo), one that is extremely interested (Rachel), and two that are unsure (Mike and Josh). That’s six, so I’m just going to say that first come first serve, and the first five to fill the available slots are the ones that get to play. I wish I could include everyone, but this is my first time GMing a table-top game and that last thing I want to happen is to get overloaded and end up being unable to give everyone the great experience that I hope to provide!
