Sagas of the Icelanders / Rules questions
« on: July 12, 2013, 05:42:23 AM »
Hi everyone, a question on the Matriarch move: "Common good: When you propose an alliance or collaboration and they accept, you gain a bond with each other."

I'm not sure who gets the bonds 

Matriarch and A agree on an alliance: they mutually gain a bond with each other ?

Matriarch arrange for A and B to ally: does she gains a bond on A and B, while B gets a bond on matriarch and A, etc... ?

Monsterhearts / New skin: the Mummy
« on: April 23, 2012, 04:48:08 PM »
Hello, I tried to make new skins.

My first one, the Feline, is finished but not fully satisfying me. Thematically this skin teases a lot but can't assume after. She tends to think herself as really capable and able to do things by herself, meaning she can go in a spiral of loneliness by not having the courage to ask help or recognize she is like everibody. Maybe I'll come back on this later if you're interested.

My Mummy is nearly finished and seems better to me. I'll try to translate what I wrote (english is not my first language) and hope it will "inspire" you. Like the Mortal she lives by her relationship with her "only" love, unlike the Mortal she's not the parasite but the support of her lover. My comments in italic

Introductive text:
not written for the moment (yes I finish my work with the introductive text, but I put playing the mummy just below so you can see the skin's theme)

Playing the mummy 
Caring, devoted, exclusive. The mummy comes back century after century only by the power of her love. For her everything is already written, their love is immortal and not to be discussed. In her memories, hazed by time and reincarnation, everything was perfect between them. In fact this love acts as an anchor and this anchor can change. If it happens, the mummy will try to requalify her relationship with her anchor as a love relation cause that's all she knows, and she will be the pilar of this new relationship ready to defend it against anybody.

Name:
I gave the egyptian names to my Feline,so if you have ideas, I also need a photo \o/
An antiquity name, A name evoking renewal,

Look:
Emaciated, Sculptural, Myrrh and cinnamon smell (what they put inside mummies), No hair nor hairs
Void eyes, Burning eyes, Amber eyes, too much khôl

Origin
Rejuvenated mummy, Aztec mummy, Osirian, Master of the samsara 

Backstory
Choose last, but before the Mortal, who is your love reincarnated. He is your first anchor. You've got 2 strings against him (you know him well), he's got 1 against you.
You have a confident, he's got 1 string against you.

Hot +1 Cold  -1 Volatile  -1 Dark +1

Moves
You have the first and choose one other
-Eternal love: this is your anchor, what binds your soul to this world. You can change it when you escape your darkest self. You always have +1 on your test to protect your anchor or the relation you have with it.
-Unswerving support: when you assit your anchor, you count as a gang
-Veiled eyes: when you ignore blatant problem in the relationship you have with your anchor, mark experience
-In an other life: apart from modern sciences and technologies you have a vast experience, cause you lived numerous lifes during the last millenia
-Consecrated temple: you know the abyss well and some related rituals cause your soul dwells there between two reincarnations. When you gaze into the abyss from your temple and with some ceremonial, add 1 to your test.
-Astral projection: when you project your spirit, leaving your comatose body behind, to observe a scene elsewhere, test to gaze into the abyss and 1 to your test. After the scene, when you get back to your body, you get the condition "exhausted"
-Name magic: spend your strings on someone, one for one, to inflict direct damage to him. Insects come out from every holes, he's sweating blood or bile, his flesh rips open. It's mandatory to see your target, but you must spend an additionnal string to do this. For this move only, you can use Tokens like a Witch

Advancement:
your gang is composed of priests of Isis or equivalent

Sex move
You take care of your anchor, who loses all Conditions he has, but you gain the Condition "need reassurance". This goes off easily if your love is attentive to you without you asking for it.
If you have sex with someone else for the first time, you mark experience and he looses a string against you as he never thought you'll react like this.

Darkest self
You doubt your love. It's not him, not him anymore... Your loyalty to him across centuries has not been rewarded and the strenght which drawn you out of death's grip is faltering. Your soul leave your comatose body for the abyss*
To escape your darkest self, someone must gaze into the abyss to find you and convince you of coming back. Once you returned, he is your new anchor. 

*Maybe the soulless and desiccated corpse can hunt people to drain them of their life force instead of being comatose. Like this the player won't be too passive.

Hoping I'll have some comments ^^
