After the Lighthouse

There’s a Time Paradox going on.

It’s still going on.

[Apologies to anyone that isn’t a fan of Red Dwarf for that plagiarism.]

Some players will already be aware, but there was an event a while back that caused the Creator Gods of Aurellis, Sable and the Reich to become aware, about 60 years in the past, of a lot of things that were going to happen. And they decided that some of those things needed not to happen.

And then, sometimes, Time fought back. So some of the things didn’t happen, and some of them happened differently. Or at a different point in the calendar. For the Empire of Eboracum, on the Inside, the most obvious changes are to the Pantheon. Some of the Gods are different now. Some that died, have survived. Newer ones are not necessarily the same.

For PCs that are normally on the Outside, and only occasionally visit the Inside – they will probably remember how it used to be. And when they next go Inside, well, there’ll be a learning curve. For those that are normally on the Inside, well, for them, nothing has changed. Because they have lived the history that has evolved post Lighthouse. They will not know any different.

There are some changes that will make it to the Outside. Murray and Sanguine have existed for longer, and now have different people in charge of them. Symphony will have different people in charge of it. But these are evolving changes (as the GMs get to thinking about them). Everything will turn out right in the end. Or Left. Or Up. Or Down. Or Strange. Yes. Probably Strange.

Public announcement:

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Mathila, Sapphire, Eve, Love and Damien cordially invite friends, family, loved ones, acquaintances. and any others who pledge to keep the peace, to join them in Animus on the Winter Solstice, to celebrate their wedding.

OOC: This is a discord session on Dec 27th 2021, UK evening (7pm GMT start). It might have a large roll-call, and obviously there will be way more people at the wedding, than we can reasonably have play the session. But if you want in, and are available at that time, please drop me a line. I will have to be a bit more strict than usual though about people staying muted when they’re not actually talking IC, if we hope to keep control of the airwaves 🙂

General Game Announcement

For those of you at Tir’con 2021, the first scenario there is set to start on 6th December 2011, game time. And although it is no longer a guarantee in this game, it is expected that the other scenarios will take place some time after that date 🙂

But also, the day before that, anybody that has an actual Amber Family Trump Deck, given them by Random or Fiona or some other Elder Amberite when they first ‘officially’ walked the Amber Pattern, finds that the cards have all stopped working. Some of you, if you had close enough relations with Amber will have got a call from one of the Elders warning you that this would happen. For others, it will be a bit of a surprise.

Nothing else is behaving oddly with Trump. All other Trump cards still work. Just not any of those in an actual Amber Family Trump Deck.

Announcement ends.
