green Dragon...I am curious what were the Auspices and tribes of the others? Were there other Galliards?
If not...why couldn't your Galliard do anything? I mean..your gifts fulfill a different niche then any other Auspice.
There are Rites that should be just Galliard, as well(or, at least, if someone else knows them, they might be looked
down upon).
N - Fianna Ragabash
G - CoG Theurge Lupus
J - IR Philodox
Me - IR Galliard
L - SF Ahroun/Alpha/Self-Appointed Voice of the Party
If M had permitted the Hive Mind Totem Power (I forget the real name, I calls 'em like I sees 'em. Its the Telepathic Link used by Jean Grey/Martian Manhunter/etc. in comic books) then my Mindspeak Gift would have been totally useless - not that an opportunity to use it has come up yet.
Basicly, it seems like in the Wolf Pack, you ended up the Omega. I am also curious, the one group of players
that kept trampling on any attempts to involve you, is this normal behavior from them?
For L, its been part of the problem in this game. For some reason, we can game fine when I'm running, and ok when he runs, but when we are both playing there are problems. I've yet to figure out why. I also suspect my not showing up two saturdays from now will be a surprise and result in a phone call asking me to come back - or the game's death.
For the others, it was a matter of the time. We have to wait until 10:30 to start, so L's son has gone to bed (though tonight he was staying with Grandma and we could have started sooner). But N's wife needs him to come pick her up when she gets off work, which was around 11:30. So we didn't even make an attempt to start until almost midnight, and then people started falling asleep, resulting in ending the session at 1:30 (instead of the planned 2:00). Consequently, no one was actually getting into character. G actually left the room and played solitaire on L's computer for a good part of the night.
Everyone who wasn't directly involved in what M was trying to do at any given time was cross-talking, and interrupting.
(I'm not blameless in this either, though I largely just zoned out, and thought about prep for one of my games for a bit.)
