some brainstorming below between Julia and Larry…
convey in two sentences or less (catchphrase) all the below.
an image that represents this would be good.
what the game is about.
what makes it different that other games.
why would they want to play?
selling points
dynamic interactive actions.
“find out what happens when the bad guys duck”
realistic character progression and skill sets.
interactive fiction at its best.
rule set adaptable to any storyline or setting
see your character grow.
watch your world emerge.
because actions are dynamic
thrust, parry, or get out of the way.
action and storyline oriented.
character development
what’s my motivation? (the were-wolf thinks to himself as he’s rushed by the knight)
method role playing.
where the bad guys have character too.
open-ended character development.
be all you can be.
play up to your potential.
‘Play to your Potential’ replace [Characters Wanted]
Incarna – Play differently… [Characters Wanted]
dynamic actions and combat
move www.incarna.net +stuff to center and enlarge.
there is no “you can’t do that”
deadly combat system.
“to die would be a great adventure”
your character is more alive at every turn because he risks death at those same turns
to risk everything is to be truly alive.
multidimensional characters (like yourself)
your game will never have to jump the shark.
believe your fantasy
believable actions and characters.
mature character development and game system.
“for mature audiences only”
“because the time has come to put away childish things”
“where you might not live happily ever after”
do you REALLY want to live forever???
reasons to play…
a coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero but one.
explore your Psyche.
Be Imperfect.
may you have a glorious death.
because perfection is dull.
[Wanted Poster]Renaissance Rogues Wanted.
Vampires Wanted.
Shape Shifters Wanted
even thugs need outside interests.
even Shape Shifters have stable personalities.
Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want. and a great story.
become something different…
even [thugs, were-wolves, petty thieves,] have a rich interior life…
discover your character’s alter ego.
playtest your limits.
a mage has got to know his limitations…
make the rules your own.
[an ogre in a tutu dancing]if you’ve played one role, you haven’t played them all.
don’t play dice with the universe.
fate Isn’t JUST the role of the dice.
definition of stupidity is doing the same thing and expecting different results
aspire higher.
aspire to the stars
experience the mythic journey
have your own heroic journey.
experience you own heroic epic.
(all playing on the heroes journey – )
difference between heroes and ordinary men?
rise from humble beginnings.
some were born great, some made great, and some have greatness thrust upon them by the GM.
theres got to be a pony in here somewhere…
shackleton ad.
“MEN WANTED FOR HAZARDOUS JOURNEY. SMALL WAGES,
BITTER COLD, LONG MONTHS OF COMPLETE DARKNESS,

going on the storyline theme…
go with several small ads building up to the final.

dulugdie always knew his true talents lie in Poetry.
if only there were a place to express them.
Incarna – Play differently…
will post graphic in incarna-marketing group

so far deciding to use single ad
full or half page.
Kelly is leaning toward half page, possibility full page ad skipped easily?
I’m leaning on full page, mostly because it fits the graphic better
will do a mock up of each.
using Dale Adams “Darkling and Friends” image.
text on ad will be (below)
Characters Wanted.
♫ Be apart of the bad moon rising and the trouble that’s on it’s way ♫

Subject: [Us-nw-region] NOIR Program Guide
To: OOC list for all members in the NW region
Good morning,
I have been asked to help put together a program for NOIR, and I was wondering if there was any interest from anyone that might own a small business to do some advertising in the program. The money will go to help defer costs of printing. I am looking at around $20.00 for a half page ad (booklet format) and $35.00 for a full page ad (booklet format). I will let you know that I am not a graphic designer, so while I may be able to help with a rudimentary ad, designing a logo and such is not something that looking to do here. With that said, if you have something with a logo, I should be able to incorporate it with an ad, provided it is in electronic format.
Please contact me at [email protected] if you are interested and we can work out the details. I will need delivery of the ad by Feb 13th (its a Friday, btw) so that I have time to complete the Program prior to the convention and incorporate any last minute changes that might occur.
I know that there are some small business owners in the Camarilla, and thought this might be a way for you to generate some low cost interest in your business.
Thank you,
—
