Afraid as the flat palm, woah, back up, feels very natural to me. Whatever the sign is for afraid, it needs to be almost instinctive, since a LARP is a game played with real fear.... :) There are some implied gestures. Holding an object says either "I'm busy" or "this is no time for emotion". To spi...

Acclimate says "In order to use this ability, you must expend a component who type matches your specialty ." Preservation says "This skill allows you to prevent up to 2 components matching your specialty from expiring between games" Conversion says "This spell allows you to temporarily change the el...

Nice. I added some notes about the abilities of Drarkin.

"You've all met, right?" "Yes, we know the drill."

On the wheel, the two axes we are missing are interest/anticipation/vigilance (which is already proposed) and admiration/trust/acceptance. Everything else is matters of degree. Admiration/trust/acceptance could be a signal for "agreement". There's some overlap with attention (I'm paying attention to...

I created a folder which is shared: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ik7y9QAIBWh-VldN0QB3dGWxoNxkSrat?usp=sharing I'm not sure what exactly that allows you to do but it should include editing. There is one document in there now which is the start of a lexicon (feel free to add to it, too). I ...

I can already see an Outpost Promise IG board, but maybe that's not everyone yet?

Regarding "Auger", I'm sure that's actually "Augur" in the sense of https://www.dictionary.com/browse/augur?s=t Whereas Auger is basically a type of drill.

I would encourage you to move this to the Outpost IG board so there's no ambiguity about what we do and don't know. That said, the idea of coordinating efforts and sharing results is pretty exciting, I always wanted more of that in TOV2. So, yes! Personally, I am prone to visions. Some things I've c...

For amusement, I suggest starting with the Happy gesture, but move your hand in and out like you are patting your side/stomach. The magnitude dependent on how funny something is. Something that is side-slappingly funny is very funny indeed. I think something for interest/attention would be useful. "...

Just as a side note, detect magic was added into pioneer in the antiquarian update before the play test. Missed that. If the rulebook won't be finalized for a while it might be worth putting all the known changes up on the forum somewhere. In that case, what is "magic"? Does it include alteric items?

I realized the questions I have mostly are about multiple PCs tackling the same topic, so I can think about how best to coordinate between events. Such as, whether that gets them all the same info, or if they get several different bits that are greater in aggregate, or something else. Also, if it m...

Some comments that I'll leave here so the other thread is clean, from the perspective of a player who used a lot of BGS in the previous campaign, not all of which will work the same: Detect Magic: there's no skill by this name anymore. The only "detect" skills are Detect Influence and Detect Afflict...

If people want a wiki, I could probably set one up. That said, a wiki is great for organization and on-line browsing. And terrible for printing out a copy to actually use during the event. So I have mixed feelings about that. Some kind of formatted document could be printed more easily in a book-lik...

As far as the skills in Mana Chirurgeon are concerned, you treat influence or corruption the same regardless of type. It's harder to resist Chaos effects than elemental ones, but influence isn't an effect. I think Bolster Aura will work just as well against chaos influence tokens than against other ...

In terms of what the content is, just a more complete account of what happened during the event is interesting, but I could also imagine creating essentially a dictionary / encyclopedia with information per subject. Or it could be several topic-based documents, e.g. a bestiary, etc. If Brad wants to...
