Alright beetches!
The "Archive" is slowly being filled out, and tonight I began the writeups on "Birthrights".
You may notice that each birthright thread is simply a collection of rumors and thoughts. That's okay.
The idea for this section of the Archive is that as characters use their birthrights in a public setting with each other, the exact details will become more fleshed out.
For example, let's say someone is playing a Falcon-Pookha. Well, we have our rumors about what it is said they can do. In the first game session, however, our Pookha friend feels threatened. He drags his fingers across the surface of a rock wall and as the skin is ripped away, sharp, gleaming, black talons are exposed.
At this point, the Archive is altered to include rumors about that power. It still counts as rumor because we only know what we've seen. Is it always falcon talons? Does our friend have to drag his fingers against rock or can it be the bark of a tree? It is the physical damage and pain that causes the talons to grow or did they grow as a result of his fear and he was simply getting his fingertips out of the way before the claws burst painfully forth?
In any case, this is a really good example of how I plan for the Archive to develop as our game develops and we have more IC interactions.
So...check it out while I sleep.
