Discussion:How should we get Tomes?
(comments and proposals welcome)
Should finding tomes be:
1)Strenuous?
2)Easier for insane Students?
3)A cooperative activity?
4)Completely random?
5)based on mythos knowledge?
6)by Rodney’s permission only?
7)the result of a Sanity bidding war?
Comments
aran:
cooperative sounds interesting, what does it means?
Elias IX:
Cooperative activity means SCHEMING SCHEMING SCHEMING.
I think cooperative activity sounds good.
Tommy:
I was playing with ideas like giving the Librarian a (possibly fraudulent) note from one’s tutor. I wanted to reward interesting reasoning and fun excuses in the notes, but I haven’t really worked it out.
Bucky:
Added #7
I personally like the idea of an imaginary Library Gremlin who hands out books to insane Students.
aran:
7 is very nice.
aran:
but i think that in order to restrict how much a student can bid, a student shouldn’t be able to “sell” too much sanity that e will be insane or too much insane (no more than -5?)
aran:
how about this: a student can’t be in a sanity debut that is greater than eir mythos. for example, if i have 3 sanity and 10 mythos, i can’t bid more than 13 sanity points.
Clucky: he/him
I like them all; well, not 2 and 6. Maybe people could take a Strenuous action to attempt to discover a tome. This would succeed with probably (t/20)^20 where t amount of mythos points spent attempting to discover the tome. The tome would then be auctioned, and players would have to spend sanity points, perhaps as a team; to buy the tome. There would either be a limit to how insane you can get, or more value a bids from people who have higher sanity.
Rodney:
I personally like the idea of a sanity bidding war. That and #3. We could have groups of students working together to outbid other students, and to share the the cost in sanity.
Bucky:
Then make a proposal. Just please mention the Library Gremlin and/or Book Fairy.
