So I'm working on ACAB. I don't know what theming to give the Ritualist class's Knacks (Passives) and Tricks (Actives). so far i used/am planning to use these themes:
Aspect Thief = Crime Movies
Artificer = Programming/Conspiracy terminology
Bard = Song Titles
Divinomancer = Astrology Stuff
Adept = Shonen Anime titles
Caster = Video Games
Transmuter = alchemical stuff
spellfist = Fighting Game Terminology
Ritualist = ?????
Shapechanger = Horror Movies
Charlatan = Scam/conman terminology
Summoner = Mythology
I'm just at a loss what's mainstream-understood yet occult in nature...
Tarot Reading
Like the cards?
I feel like calling a knack lake "Knave of Swords" wouldn't be quite as easy to understand as the passive "Yomi" which lets a Spellfist use Predict.
But at the same time, the flavor is strong.
but on the third hand, i already use the tarot deck instead of dice.
ya you can’t reuse tarot for this cause you already use it
can you come up with enough like very traditional -feeling magic accoutrements to name shit after, dribbly candles, summoning circles, magic mirror etc? Basically all the stuff you would find in a wizard’s room in a tower, but also maybe in an occultist’s room if they read too much alistair crowley or w/e
There's also the modern ideal of musicians being magic or selling their souls to the devil/evil spirit in order to obtain their talent, and songs themselves are actually spells which is why they evoke a very strong response.
Not to mention all the "satanic panic" of Metal in the 1990's, where they talk about playing records backwards containing Satanic worship hidden in normal words.
Well, i wanted to keep music for the Bard but...... I could go for metal band names instead of songs.
yeah, that could very well work.
Metal band names are incredible for skills/attacks/etc.
Iron Maiden? Infant Annihilator? Cattle Decapitation? Fear Factory? Spiritbox? Rivers of Nihil? Knocked Loose?
That's a deep well.

So many options... even with her rock solid requirements. >.< Also I feel bad because we missed an Easter Sale for a model she really liked.
Athenor if you can hold out a little longer, there should be Memorial Day sales in about a month.
Sadly can't, mom "needs" it for a thing she's doing in a couple weeks.
That's okay though. I found an open-box version of one that she liked and had the features she wanted and was reasonably priced for what you get. I also used my Best Buy CC, which I've had 0 balance on for a couple years now, and went with 0% interest. So mom can pay me back whenever (and I know she's good for it).
Plus it means I get to take a small road trip, something I've been wanting to do for a while.

ooh exciting; what kind of place, indoor/outdoor/local/destination etc?
Outdoor, it's a big converted backyard garden venue in Snohomish area, they're just starting out I think. Ceremony area is in a nice tree corridored lawn with a lot of space, then some flower/hedge enclosed paved space to set up tables and tents and do whatever we decide to do there, all overlooks some green space and a meadow that goes into...boggy trees? 18+ month lead time minimum on venues lately so...lots of time to decide what to actually do.

18 month minimum? fuck, is that normal? I kinda figured a year or 9 months or something

I wonder if a lot of people delayed getting married during COVID so all of a sudden they all want the prime venues and times

No just tons of bookings right now, COVID delayed a lot of events and perhaps venues that were doing weddings have shifted or arent reopened? I dont know. Ive heard that dress alterations are also slammed.

That game had the most darkest of endings.
I still haven't played all the way through the DLCs.

KISS you cowards
It's in my head now
"I use Bon Jovi on the archer"
...lacks that certain something, TBH
Song names as spells then?
DEAD OR ALIVE
LIVING ON A PRAYER
FINAL COUNTDOWN
HAIL AND KILL
Unless you use the titles instead
"I Give Love a Bad Name with the archer"
(You shoot somebody through the heart, and then choose who they blame)
"I cast LOVE IN AN ELEVATOR"
It’s a trap spell??
We're Not Gonna Take It to invigorate them

I sent an email to Tycho suggesting it.
We will see if someone reads it.
I’m probably goin to continue forgetting that
Maybe it's like that number 2 car rental place - "We Try Harder"
