Heads UP!

The Trinity Continuum Kickstarter has closed.
I got in on the last day and I will be receiving the final form of the PDF when it comes out in May I think.
But I have also received PDF's of the current review copies that are extant. And I have been gobbling them up like you cannot imagine.  So far, I haven't seen anything in the system that makes me blanch and they have talked a good deal about Talents and how to make them in the core book.
"Talents" are the new name for someone who is essentially a Daredevil. Don't know yet how they're going to scale Psiads and Aberrants down for Adventure! quite yet. But I may have to tinker with creating a generation mill for Trinity Continuum.  We'll see.

So Far, I'm digging it. Never done a space opera style game before. Might have to give it a try sometime.

Les salons de femmes nouveau

Some think that Les Salons is a new conspiracy. it is not. It is a very very old one.

The Amazons, as a warrior society grew from a seed of patriarchy and misogyny that has seemingly always been with mankind since it’s beginnings. A group of warrior women broke off from the main society and founded their own society. Taking women who sought them out and men who could live under amazonian laws and creating a proud and dynamic society that was in many ways more successful than it's forebears.  They never went out of their way to make enemies. But when enemies presented themselves, they stomped them flat.

Amazonian warrior-priestesses sought some kind of mystical edge in the various conflicts that erupted with male dominated societies. Thinking about the long game, The Amazons developed a ritual that would cause a fallen warrior to reincarnate. So that women born in later generations would take up the same fight. Some inspired individuals have reported having the memories of their former lives reawakened by contact with a member of Les Salons. Some have even become inspired as a direct result of that contact.  This can be traumatic in the extreme. Especially, if the past life is stronger than the current one. It’s also somewhat disconcerting to start talking in ancient greek with a stranger when you don’t actually speak that language yourself. Dreams of ancient battles and wars can be somewhat stressful as well.

Les Salons come together to create strategies to fight feminine oppression in whatever age they find themselves born into. So far, The Ritual has held over time and these women warriors have arisen time and again to make war on male domination.  It is widely held that the women’s suffrage movement was helmed at the highest levels by reincarnated amazons. Also: The Femmes have brought the Reincarnation ritual forward with them and use it to give the edge to each new successive generation of women dedicated to the cause. Some of the newest among them don’t even speak greek or know the right end of a longbow from the wrong end.  The Femmes try not to look down on their less experienced sisters but it can be hard to respect such rank and untrained newcomers.

Naturally many members of Les Salons will have the knack, Past Life and some will also possess more unusual knacks like Voice from Beyond, And so on.  If the person in question is already inspired, it is quite possible that contact with another inspired member of the Salon will cause a new ability to manifest itself. And these abilites will break along the lines of the inspiration that the person already has.  A woman daredevil might gain the knowledge of the Knack, Oklahoma thunderball and become a positive demon on horseback. An uninspired person will likely break towards being a mesmerist and will gain Past Life first. Such women often become quite potent mesmerists over time.
