Beats and XP Rule
We want to encourage you to have fun, RP often and take charge of your own character's story as much as possible. With this in mind we’d like you to pursue your character’s aspirations in scenes, especially short term ones and to reward you for getting RP going.
Earn Beats on a Character for:
Earn 1 Beat for every Scene your Character is in
Scenes don’t need to be ST run, but they must end, no double dipping beats for paused scenes across multiple days
No double dipping same char across multiple scenes in multiple rooms at the same time. EW is generally exempt from this as it’s usually considered outside the flow of normal time and to allow us flexibility to deal with time bubbles and the like
Earn 1 Beat for making progress on or resolving an Aspiration
Only 1 Short Term Aspiration Beat can be earned per scene. You may earn both Short Term and Long Term Aspirations in the same Scene and the two can be related. I.E. If you talk to Ana about forming a Cabal together, you can earn an STA for Talking to Ana and an LTA for looking for a Cabal.
Recording Beats
Create a Beats Thread in your Characters Blue Book Channel and record everything there
Example for Ana Frost the Technogeek
11/04/2024 - Prospect Parc
11/05/2024 - Downtown Flushing/Chinatown
1 beat resolved short term aspiration to meet more mages
1 beat long term aspiration made progress building magical armor for Mari and Rosa
Total : 5 beats
An ST will update your thread when the beats are recorded.
We’re operating on the honor system here mostly, we want to focus on stories and having fun with you guys not policing anyone so help us out with that.
