Shadows Update

Well the team eventually managed to escape from Mistress Lilithai's fracture. We destroyed it in the process, having discovered it was mostly a sham and an illusion created by a huge semi-sentient plant/mud lifeform that fed on the psyches as well as the flesh of it's victims. We also freed a Chaos Overlord and his Archelyte opposite number when we broke out.

Our NPC, Gliber, is still with us. We've also gained one of the Lucifer variants (also NPC), thanks to the (I'd say mis-guided?) efforts of our medico, Robyn.

We wound up in an oceanic fracture. Fortunately we landed on a beach rather than in the rather dubious and dangerous liquid that passes for 'sea' in the 'Fractured Earth' chronicle. Thence we were 'rescued' by people from a massive floating barge (think Water World, but with that especially dark twist our ST always gives us). We're currently working in 'animal rendering' to get ourselves enough gear and ship-life experience together to get into some other kind of work on board.

My character, Lili, is still messing with both our Mage, Michael, and our (not very good) Navigator, Gliber, relationships-wise. I was going to say romance-wise, but that would be extraordinarily inaccurate in either case. It looks like Gliber may have found another playmate on the ship now, though. Lili is still processing that one, and her relationship with Michael, subsequent to his fling with her alter-ego Mistress Lilithai in the previous fracture.

You'd think, with the World to save, she'd be less obsessed with her ego and her romantic involvements, but that's Lili for you...

Camarilla admin grumble

I'm frustrated that no-one seems to be looking after the admin side of our Camarilla game in Manchester in terms of drawing in travelling players, nor even keeping resident players informed of upcoming games. We don't officially have a Domain Co-ordinator right now, but even when we did the service was not great. Am I the only one who understands that unless the game is advertised sufficiently in advance it's unlikely (mostly busy) people are going to be able to attend ?

Of course in a society run by volunteers one line of logic says if you don't like it, do something about it yourself. But I did precisely that for 7 years of my life, and I can't and won't hand myself over for enslavement to the Cam again, even on such a relatively small scale. Plus I don't have the sort of facilities a DC needs to have access to in order to do the job well.

Ah well, grumble done.
