I feel like we have to either go into an alternate reality immediately, or there has to be a world outside, which is a source of travelers, resources and news, and somewhere to threaten you'll go when you feel pissy and unappreciated.

Alan said: "Is there even an outside, or is there nothing at all?" Holy Shit! This would change my character's backstory and lead us far into the realms of surrealism/magical reality, but I would totally be willing to do that if the group reached …

Not to answer for Rich, but I suspect the desire for some sense of vagueness is what made the Coot a difficult concept for this game.

Rich - I edited the PC2 page but don't know how to change the title. Go ahead and edit me!

Jet has flashbacks of Cache's old show sometimes. "It burns me up inside, what they did to you..." He has made sure Cache knows all the secret passageways out of the AMC.

Cast & Crew: I actually kinda like these names but if it's easier on you? ETA: Remember we didn't come from here. Well maybe some of us did, but not most. Other NPCS: I called Smoothie King + Durex + Mastercard + Burlington + Fire Lane + Beaut…

Holy grimdark! Ze is the Phantom of the Circus!

The flipside of "immunity increases with old age" is "the young are particularly susceptible". The young may be something we have to worry about. Young walkers might need to be corralled constantly or they'd wander outside and never be seen again.…

Sounds like (a) truth be told, I need that Savvy more than they need me, and (b) my productions use a fair amount of power. And out there in the Maul, the muzak needs constant power too. So how do we get our power? Is there someone in charge of t…

A Skinner (obviously) could be a performer in the AngelMetalCircus. A Savvyhead could be the stage technician, who (believe me) Jet will task with uncanny things like pyro effects, rearscreen projections and smoke bombs, and somehow this shit happe…

Right on. Jet Black it is! I'll start assembling the Circus. Maybe you can use the coot for an NPC. Exposition device, natch.

The Coot - "Langford Mitchum", aka "Lang" (homage to David Langford). Whichever direction the breeze makes the dancers walk? He started out in the other direction. Comes from some city in the southwest. Maybe in Texas. Several times in his life…

Indeed I was fairly certain I had entered the domain of that very same Adam. Hello, very same Adam! I've watched/heard every AW AP in the world, and IMNSHO the CROSSROADS campaign surpassed all competition by a large margin. Well played and well …

Some drugs could override it. I'm thinking mood stabilizers, etc. Other drugs might make it worse. Weed or booze might be literally very dangerous unless there's loud music around. ETA - which might tell us something about that freakshow circus. …

Maybe not dancing, but uncontrollable muscle twitches. Ever had acid with too much strychnine in it? Gets uncomfortable. Makes your muscles need to move. And if you cannot resist it, you find yourself walking toward a distant unknown place - I d…

Trying to answer some of my own questions. The breeze is tied to the maelstrom right? And that's from whence its hypnotic powers arise. So. Ways to defend against St Vitus's Dance might be something like: - wearing earplugs, wearing headphones …

Ok I'm wondering about the outside because (a) my Coot may be a traveler, and (b) the Maestro Circus may travel as well. Caravan of talented freaks, on the move from town to town, they stay a year or two then move on kinda thing. In general I can …
-
Right now my fave choices are... 1. Coot who remembers the old days. If travel is possible he could be a wanderer who's been in every city within 200 miles. If travel is not possible then he probably knows this mall since his young days. 2. Chan…

Choppers and Drivers need to get outside. I have some other thoughts brewing that involve traveling outside. So how's this breeze work?
-
I like everything about the Coot. I wouldn't mind it if he could get an erection, but his sexual impotence is something I can live with. I'm also a trained actor and I'm all about the Hx. It's just not gonna happen through sex for this character.…
-
The Coot? Pure character. I'm almost 51 years old myself and I live in the desert. :-) The Synthetic? I like the complex weirdness and rule tweaks. Made me think of Ash from the first ALIENS movie. But it MUST be an MC collab so I absolutely d…

Chris said: "you could have a dozen holds in there, right?" Technically yes, but without social constraints, laws, police, and legal documents holding people to their lease agreements, I think that wouldn't work out too well. I think if people mov…
