This was more of a joke, but thank you.
Also, I think that we're derailing the thread.

Question: Is there any IRC to discuss matters like BL's #notes on IRCHighway?

Or you could just make one? That's what I did, since #notes is basically General Discussion nowadays.

@Mags: Oi. So can people pair up as Masters, or are we restricted to doing vanilla single human?

ALSO, what are the bloody power levels for the Masters? B/c it seems tempting for someone to say they're gonna make a "vanilla" magus, and then they make a guy who's extended their lifespan a few decades, knows a bunch of martial arts styles (when they're European aristocracy!), comes from a lineage w/ oodles of old money, and uses magecraft that basically makes them Shang Tsun. SO, what do?

Also also, how does the Master sheet if someone wanted to make a PC who doesn't have magic circuits?

OK

First off, I'd veto that sort of sheet like crazy, rewrite it, send it back, and tell them what a shameful display they have performed, and act like a disapproving asian father. Put short, while you can go nuts, go nuts within reason. Consider Kayneth as a powerlevel limit.

For the second bit, all stats at F. Your servant is also going to get really nerfed.

Thank you, wanted to know the limits. Still haven't addressed the double-Master question, though.

So in short, no Atlas magi allowed? Really?

Actually, did the Process of the Grail Getting Corrupted like in the "Canon" 3rd Heaven's Feel happen? Or was there no Avenger Fiasco?
I'm asking about that because if Avenger hasn't corrupted the Grail, then we cannot have the likes of Medea or Medusa (Anti-Heroes and the like).

Probably still did; Avenger was the 1st of the 3rd War Servants killed in canon.

@Mags: By doubling up, you mean double Master arrangement like the 3rd-War Edelfedts, or canon 4th-War's team Lancer? B/c I'd be totally down working w/ someone like that.

No, I mean them playing a Servant and a Master. Just not the servant the Master has.

...Is it still possible to try pleading w/ you for this anyway?

>Surprised no one has mentioned a VN like Kikokugai yet.

Seriously, it's at least one VN explicitly cited by Nasu to have fight scenes which keep him up at night! It's really very good in most respects, though it'd no doubt help if you are already a fan of wuxia and martial arts movies/stories to begin with. And if not, welp, you're still in for a treat.

Martial arts meets cyberpunk meets heroic bloodshed! I mean, really, what more can I say?


>Another hands-down recommendation is Saya no Uta. Yes, that one VN that reads like a love letter horror story in the vein of H.P. Lovecraft.

And if you A) hadn't heard about this VN before now and B) still can't imagine how such a pairing works out, well, that's kinda par the course. But it's still a good experience!

This VN has the dubious honor of actually making me cry with the True Ending, so yeah. Let the Warp take you~

Spoiler for Hiden:

Now your mental image of me is ruined forever! Muahahahahaha! 

... ;_;

Revy-Alice is still Revy-Alice to me; I was just curious.
and hey you even encouraged me to improve upon my crappy 1.5 and 11 PWP thing

.........Waaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Wait wait wait. This is probably a stupidly straight-forward question, but is Alice literally the same person who signed under "Revy" on Beast's Lair?

And if so, is she the one who wrote, gahhhh, I think it was a CYOA, that featured a water-affinity magus trying to duke it out w/ Ciel?

@Mags: Since it comes up in canon and some fanon examples w/ a degree of relevance, I had some ideas for if you wanted to integrate the whole fluff aspect regarding Master compatibility where it concerns Servant stats.

What if you rolled a d6 for every stat, where odds = change and evens = no change, and then roll again to determine if the number of affected stats (if any came up) get buffed or debuffed?

Mags is one of those nWoD players who goes on and on about the various games, so I simply suggested something that would fit w/ that kind of background.

Mags said that he's doing a lottery setup. If you luck out and have an appropriate focus for the summoning, you get who/what you want.

Otherwise, HEART OF THE CARDS.

@Mike: Oh, for sure, yes. But I'm speaking more of little tidbits like what I posted. Another would be the Assassin dilemma: we gonna go w/ hard F/SN ruling on "only Hassan aside from fakes, huh-huh~" or would that be more open as in F/E and F/A?

B/c remember, Herakles is apparently eligible for Assassin, but we never get to see that in canon.
