Why Does Soul Silver Freeze

Dork language criticism

Spelling is my damn total. I am, after all, the man who had to be explained by our proofreader, where we now actually again "ß" are used. But people, linguistic logic to me is important. I correct here, just a text of a nameless author (yes I mean YOU!) And I'm inclined for the first time to join in this unbearable PISA Youth of Today-twaddle. Will hopefully be back over. To make things faster, I'm making here, taking a breath.

first "Apparently" and "apparently" is not the same. It's not even the same. (I do not think I've just committed a spelling error, * whistle *)

second The replacement of the relative pronoun "who, which, the" with "what / which / that" does not refined, but stilted.

third Colloquially, the Germans never, ever used the Präterritum. Normal people talk kindly in the perfect. The grammatical correctness is here subordinate in any case stylistic accuracy.

4th Translations are not easy, yes. Especially with UA, where you really fit in the vernacular must be and is confronted with different intonations, not to mention obscure Popreferenzen and magic jargon altogether. I am the last person who could bhaupten there, always choose the right word. But that "psychic powers" in no case "mental skills" are, it nevertheless been through some thought and a quick look at the relationship - apart from the question whether "mental abilities" in Germans and more "mental abilities" . Last "A former business woman" is not a "former business woman," at best a "former", say yes either, "Early business woman catches the worm", but "The early business woman wearing skirt and blouse that Earlier were only allowed to Secretary are, today, these former rules obsolete and there is a different wind. " Hence, we are not about uncertainties in English but in German. Brrr.

So, enough bitching. And apologies to the unnamed translator, because with no money for it has translated quite a long text out of pure kindness, gratitude does not register what he and ridicule should. Well, something I have to do so too. If I do that just would not have to.

"Buffy the vampire slayer" is not only a brilliant television series, but also a treasure trove for UA campaigns, both in terms of the characters, and opponents, challenges and top bosses. UA to not only fits the trendy flair, but also the more central question of power and consequences. The focus of the series is always the problem of the occult and the magical power vs. Mission. Friendship, family and love. Buffy, of course, central to itself, which struggles with its role as a hunter, and therefore must learn how to combine love and work, how to get from the Family dissolves, take responsibility, without closing itself, etc, but also to all the supporting characters, such as Willow and her addiction to magic, which should help to overcome their lack of Selbtswertgefühl. The dilemma of whether to use their magic Willow to free their friends from disturbing memories (and whether they are thus not merely lie in the pocket to make their lives easier), it is 1:1 in the sixth Season for UA to take. Not to mention the awesome Rick tells in Season 5, introducing a character that for the characters was always there - but not for the audience. Episodes long, one wonders whether one is even too stupid or the writers and who have caught the Kliomanten here (which one is the solution already surprisingly close ...). But we

model but sometimes silly season in terms of the series premiere.

situation

A splinter group called the sleeper "The Council of the guards' boots to the UK from a worldwide operation to protect the normal people of supernatural beings. Unlike its parent company is actually the first of altruism in the foreground: Not (only) protection of the real magic from the sleeping tiger, but (also) security for the uninitiated. To that end, feel the compass around the world young women, the signs of Warrior archetype show. These "hunters" said young women are carefully selected from a father figure, the "guards" twisted and subtly influenced to take up the fight against the ghost, demons, ghosts and vampires. In the far Sunnydale, California meets Rupert Giles on Buffy Anne Summers and begins training. Little by little, her friends pulled into the whole thing into it and finally forms a circle by itself, the "Gang". Meanwhile, Giles come more and more doubts about the motives of the "Council of the guards," he observed, as is Buffy's life and her friends changed ...

The characters
Buffy Anne Summers
, the huntress
obsession duty. Buffy invites the weight of the world on his shoulders, even if it breaks it.

fear: failure. And every relationship, every decision can trigger this impulse ...
rage be manipulated. Buffy hates to be just a token.
virtue protect the gang.

skills:
Hunter (Avatarin the warrior): 99%. (What happens when Buffy reaches 100% and how it changes the archetype, you can watch live in the last episode)

Rupert Giles, librarian with occult past
Obsession: The signs of the World point (Bibliomantie) [*]
fear: failure as a guardian / father figure.
rage tyranny and oppression (through dark powers)
Virtue: Magic for the benefit of all.

skills: Bibliomantie 70%, education 65%, the end justifies the means 40% [*], Folk Songs to sing 30%

[*] Giles is just a very contradictory character. The Bibliomantie and his belief in the mission of the Guardian Council, more and more conflict with his affection for the transition, his idealistic goals to force him in rare moments, to crimes he did not really mean well. "The end justifies the means" allows Giles, on success of the Necessary to do - even if it is not pretty, and actually contradicts his morals. It may need to put no stress litter.

Willow Rosenberg, witch

Obsession: recognition through performance. Willow wants to break out of its outsider status, and finally be somebody.

fear: failure - on the popularity scale. And why are not loved.
rage be pushed around
virtue remove other work. Willow can write off - even if you never learn therefore accountable to themselves.

skills: Ritual Magic (Wicca) 70%, outsider (live, Jewish, lesbian and bisexual, Wiccanerin, Nerd) 55%, research 40% General education 50%, hideous dress sense 35%.

outsider: Willow can put away humiliations and insults better than others and put yourself using this skill better in others who are also discriminated against. Do every time you use this skill a line on the character sheet. All five lines automatically without throwing you suffer a trauma score in the aspect of "helplessness".

Xander Harris, a simple carpenter.

Obsession: decency. Xander has a deep rooted desire to do the right thing and believes in a real life in the wrong one. In earlier times, he would have made a good knight.

fear: the wickedness of the world. Xander fears nothing more than proof that his lack of chivalry in an amoral world is in order.
rage can be exploited. Xander is deeply hurt when his willingness to help abused, and it disappointed him beyond measure, when others are not to shave his standards.
virtue: Moral compass. Without that he himself knows, Xander simple in his way at the right moment to say exactly the right thing when others doubted.

skills: Craft activities 50%, avatar of the Fool (unconsciously) 35%, wink with my fence post 45%.

sign with my fence post: Xander is in dealing incredibly awkward with women and screwed up every conversation. But he is a gun in bed. A skill with light and shadow.

Spike aka William the Bloody, vampire with a chip

Spike ... before coming to Spike, we must resolve a problem. So please be patient.

problem: vampirism.

In the world premiere of all the monsters are human. So how do we explain the vampires in the world of Buffy? Fortunately, the series itself provides the explanation: lead vampires are people who have lost or given up the fight, the Buffy and her friends. You have chosen the easy way out and never learned to face their fears to make and share their weaknesses with others, in order to obtain power. Instead, they take the life force that they could not develop themselves, of others. So that they appear superficially strong, but are in fact infinitely weak because they are gefamngen forever in their fears and doubts and rob power only by force of others can.

In short: in our Buffy-vampire vampire-His campaign is a decision.

all the characters of Buffy verses are in a struggle with themselves and their environment for sovereignty, friendship, moral standards, a place in life, in short, humanity. Those who give up this fight, is a vampire. The two concepts have nothing metaphysical here, it's about very specific things. If you give up the fight, you close up in front of your friends, leave your family and avoid any situation where you had to put up your Änsten. You are evading the challenge of developing up. The strength that you did not even rob you another, as someone who things he can not even draw or get paid to other, different and steals. But you are forever locked in a darkness that comes from your inner self. Your fears and your loneliness, the night, can not escape yourself. And you hate the light, meet in the other and to the face can see. exchange houses, the place where people can be, you enter only if you invite yourself. And who would do that?

So: vampire = decision to isolate itself totally from others to avoid the pain, bring the rights and obligations of other people with him. Pleasure and bonding strength, one gets from it.

control point 5 hardness scores in isolation and identity. At that moment you will vampire.

very human monster, perfect for UA and a good message for role play: Static characters to be monsters ... but where were we? at

Spike, aka William the Bloody, vampire with chip.

Spike got the initiative, a government organization to fight a supernatural being, implanted a chip that prevents him from auszüben violence against people. Thus it is the means used to isolate itself from others and step by step, he must face his demons. As he takes up the fight for humanity, he is already not a vampire anymore.

Obsession: The Slayer. It is the principle that wants to destroy him, the power that comes from interpersonal relationships. But they can free him. She is an outsider like him, a wanderer between worlds, which is the point at which it is located, from the other Side approaches. Spike fluctuates between the desire to sleep with her and kill them - they go down, or to climb to her.

fear: our own weakness. Spike can not defend themselves against the onslaught from within.
rage helplessness. Spike hates to be pushed around.
virtue: the voice from the darkness. Spike knows the struggles that goes through the transition, because he has already lost. Almost against his will, he tried to save them from his fate.

skills: I am an untamed creature of the night 45% [combat and seduction], sow cool 40%.

opponents and other

The Trio - three nerds, their discussions of obscure television shows and D & D interrupt only in order "to create flying monkeys to raise sex slaves and ... oh yeah ... the rule of Sunnydale to usurp. Have extensive technical and financial resources, and Mechanomantie, Videomantie and ritual magic.

The initiative - a secret government organization, disguised by a fraternity at the University of Sunnydale. Fights vampires with high-tech, but also abused their own students to experiment with Cybertech soldiers and combat drugs.

The dance devil - Carries Zoot Suit and forces everyone in Sunnydale, until Entzüdung to dance and to express their innermost feelings in musical numbers expression. Worst enemy of all.

The mayor - a powerful magician who will perform with the student body of Sunnydale a huge rejuvenation ritual.

Amy - Ex-witch, who now lives as a rat in a cage at Willow.

Glory - Immortal ancient goddess of fertility and death that is unparalleled in Sunnydale for the key to their dimension. Unfortunately, have crazy martial monks who have guarded the key that turns him into a desperate last-man and make it a family member of Slayer.

Notes on relationship card

are interesting, especially the relationships within the gang. Not for nothing, each character's internal contradictions and striking similarities in temperament with other group members. These overlaps and contradictions, it is to play. The enemies and villains will do exactly this Punke advantage.

A final rule

All members of the gang have a skill called "the gang". It starts at 15%. decide at each XP award, the group members together, how many XP they invest in this skill. You have to agree, then, how many points each invest can - it has the same amount each XP on his character sheet in this skill move. "The transition" may be used by any SC once per week instead of any other skill (yes, even with stress throws, even with magic, but never at things, the group are turned). A throwing error in this skill, however, leads automatically to a hardness score in isolation, helplessness or identity. Relying on others to help you, but can also harm you. And in the background lurks the vampire existence ...

Postgraduate
For a quick start with a look at UA is above all the squadrons from the 3rd recommended. Who wants to buy a single box, the recommending I, the 5th as directly UA-fittest ... then you should run the same but the 6th to buy the many threads of the 5th bringing to completion and contains Willows conversion also one of the best UA-strands. To deepen recommended Dietmar Dath's book "She's awake," which is unfortunately almost impossible to get.

The breadth of the subject and am particularly interested because it's your comments and discussion over at UA forum .
