Sleepers, awake!

Amused myself mightily talking random World of Darkness characterisation with erispope, gwynyth's OSO, and another staffer on NE2. I forget how we got on it, but it's reaffirmed my vague inclination to get together with oneironaut and (oooh, modulation into minors, shivery goodness, oh yes) generate some sort of personality test checkbox thingy that does a better job on the World of Darkness than the ones we've encountered.

Me, I'm a Cultist of Ecstasy with the flaw Sphere Inept: Time. I have theories about some other members of the family, but I shan't post them without asking first.

Hey. . . this client connects up with the OSX CD player thing. It's a pity that this is only identified as 'Track 04' and I'd already typed in the German. . . . (More specifically, this is Choral (Tenor): Zion hört die Wächter singen, according to the case.)

So, out of curiosity, what's NE2?

I've always found it rather baffling when WoD players start rattling off character types and spheres and clans and whatever. It's like a completely different language. It makes me wonder just how stupid "normals" think I sound when I speak D&D.

NE2 is a historical (1770s Boston) World of Darkness multisphered MUSH (though at the moment it's just mages and changelings, mostly). I'm the Vampire, Sorceror, Psychic, and Code Wizard. oneironaut has a werewolf there, and roimata has a mage. I think that's all the people you might be likely to know. ;)

I speak D&D a bit too, if it makes you feel better. At the moment I'm characterising my novel as having a party of a human fighter, a human rogue, a goblin ranger, and a beastman barbarian/druid. Third edition, that, and homebrew on the races and a bit of the world. ;)

Hmm. My Mage book is halfway across the room and I'm lazy (and have a kitten on my foot), but I'm not sure I'd call you Sphere Inept. More like ... hmm. I don't think there's a flaw for 'screwed-up perception', is there.

I'm reading up on JavaScript as we speak.

The way I figure it, I have a sort of natural talent with Time, but it's so scattered and disorganized it's a complete bitch for me to actually learn the discipline.

I have the same problem with physics.
