That's always warm and fuzzy.

Last night I ran a long scene (as in, five hours' worth) with one of the PCs on NE2, who's doing investigations on this plot I'm running.

He encountered an Insubstantial Thing. The PC in question is a fae with very little general supernatural knowledge; insubstantial things are therefore presented to him as chimera. This one was incredibly difficult for him to kenn (the faerie magical sense); I was making the difficulty eight or nine depending on the circumstances, and so there were times he just couldn't find it at all. He figured that it was a chimera, maybe one with Dreamform (which is a power that essentially makes imaginary things insubstantial even to people who can bark their shins on imaginary things) and Hide (self-explanatory) both.

I sent the log of this to oneironaut, who asked me a few questions. I explained what was going on with the Insubstantial Thing. I explained it, because, well, a jackal wandering around in the woods isn't all that likely to get involved with plots involving dead and abducted humans, really, and got the response, "That is so cool."

Mmm, warm fuzzy gamemasterishness.

*grin* Spiffy GMness.

(Ok, granted, GMing for Ethan tends to be a pleasure anyway. But.)

I really do have to trot out Eve sometime shortly. I suspect she's going to substantially confuse pretty much everyone who pays any attention to her.

I'm enjoying this plot, in its wickedness and complexity.

I should probably name Mr. Insubstantial Thing.

Macavity, of course!

Perfect for a being who isn't there.

I may wind up calling him Mac. Heh. :}

All your fault! ;)
