GalenJust wondering if anyone would like to expand on these rough ideas i’ve got kicking about and don’t really recall the rules well enough to do anything with.
Goatsemanse (minor) – The goatsemanser draws upon two seperate legacies – the shock image and the magic circle.
Symbolic tension – The goatse man is, or was, an anonymous celebrity, as are many of those who appear in shock images.
Generate a minor charge – Create a new shock image and unleash it on the internet, spread existing shock images.
Blast – OMGWTFBBQ – This blast bombards the victim with the foulest images from the goatsemanser’s memory, stunning them and possibly even causing madness meter tests. This blast is less effective each time a person is blasted with it.
Taboo – The character is forbidden from revealing the individual behind a given shock image, in fact, the character is bound to attempt to thwart any attempt to expose such a person.
Zomburgist
Symbolic Tension – The Zomburgist prepares for an uprising of the living dead that he knows will never happen, because there are no such things as zombies. This school, as written, is inappropriate for any game where zombies of the flesh eating kind exist.
Generate a Minor charge – Go on a 6+hour zombie movie bender, spend a few hours preparing your domicile for an invasion of the walking dead.
Generate a Significant Charge – Spread enthusiasm for cinematic flesh eating zombies to others.
Generate a major charge – Convince someone that zombies really do exist.
Taboo – The Character may not at any time admit that Zombies do not exist.
Blast – Headshot! The Zomburgist’s blast enhances the damage and chance of critical head wound done with firearms or improvised weapons.
U.F.Omancer – I’m not exactly sure how I want to do this one, did UA ever address rules for this school at any point? Aside from the joke about getting probed, but that can’t really be any more disruptive to gameplay than pornomancy. I don’t want to just make them a cut and paste of the Zomburgist.
So far what i’ve got involves the idea of the blast involving sicing little grey men on your foes and the use of alien relics/saucer nests.
ashwoodZomburgist : The major charge seems too easy (do children count?). In places like Haiti there are lots of people who believe in zombies. For a major charge I would say you have to convince a large number of people that the zombie apocalypse is happening NOW! Like the old War of the Worlds broadcast panic, only with zombies. Or convince a policeman, fireman, etc that a zombie attack is happening to the extent that they actually call in to their superiors and state it as a fact. (no magic or unnatural creature can be used in either case)
Suggested Zomburgist effects: Resisting failed notches on their madness meter.
Predicting future disasters.
Scavenging unlikely objects, hot wiring cars, and picking locks to get into buildings.
Assuming leadership of a panicked group in an emergency.
Deducing the weakness of an unnatural creature. (you have to destroy the BRAIN!)
U.F.Omancer – not every school needs a blast that does damage. Give U.F.Omancer an abduction spell, the next time the target is unobserved (no video cameras or witnesses) they disappear for a number of minutes equal to the magick roll and show up in a random unobserved place within a few miles with no memory of what happened to them.
