Fortunately, absolutely no one in the entire history of ever has cared what I found appealing, so we’ll concentrate on how this is also International Tiger Day.

Played (Changeling the Lost): Berkeley 94: We didn’t have Kelsey or Vivian, so played the evening where Thessaly gets drunk lost  and has to be rescued by Lily, the knight of the evil(?) king who seems to know and like Everett even though he doesn’t remember her. Thessaly brings her back to Stately Sanrio Manor, some information is exchanged, and Thessaly and Theophania bully Everett into going on a date with Lily. Next session, picking out a date outfit for him.

Read (manga): Monthly in the Garden With My Landlord vol 4 (Yodokawa): Is it still a landlady/tenant relationship if they’re living and sleeping together? Also lots of drama with the landlady’s old idol group.

Written (game design): 224:

If we’re going to do that, we should do similar for spending MP instead
of rolling a die. Although we still roll random polyhedrals to find out
how much Readiness and MP you have, so we aren’t eliminating that
mechanic entirely. I don’t think we want to, because if you’re looking
for a numeric output, the Action/Difficulty mechanic only gives four
possibilities with uneven probabilities. So let’s keep attack dice and
rolled MP costs.

MP are now called Harmony.

Time to stop and check how complicated a character is. Do we need to
throw some stuff out?

A character has
– Ratings for a dozenish Actions (list still to be finalized)
– List of Backgrounds
– Readiness dice (current Readiness values to be tracked on a postit)
– Harmony dice (values on postit)
– Melee, ranged, and magic attack dice
– Armor and resistances
– Movement rate and modes (swimming, flight, etc)
– Strength
– Size
– Ancestry feats and other abilities
– Physical inventory slots and what’s in them
– Spiritual inventory slots and what’s in them
– XP, unspent and total

Ancestry feats and other abilies, and the things in inventory slots,
will have additional information about what they do, unlike Backgrounds
which are what they say on the tin, so that’s more complexity. Overall,
though, I think that’s not too bad? I’m sure I’ll remember more stuff
that goes on the list later, though.
