And we will be on roll20 tonight, finishing background stuff.

Sorry I wasn't around - I assumed with my character done, you needn't really need me, and I had to wake up early this time .

You were right.  I just wanted to make sure anyone here could at least declare interest.  I have my players, but I am expecting to add another 'class' of players later.  I always keep a waiting list of players.  
(Igbarians has almost two dozen waiting to join that game)

Rincewind, are wed or thurs better for you?  And what not do you want to do your private stuff, as I am still looking at 75% being done privately.  
This is the part that is going to be different than any online r live game I have done, a ton of private gaming per player between episodic irc sessions together.  I can tell you I will be ready to be very flexible....Limetom is insane with the amount of depth he likes....

I will be online with llum tonight, building his character.  I am thinking of doing the intro session next week, with Some deeper commentary about the rules of using magic, and then we start playing the week after.

At the moment either is fine, I'll update you should that change. Thought we'd be playing by forum?

We will. Forum, one one one, and the group games.  I will be busy out of my mind but it could....could...be awesome.


Get out you best Python accent.

Aaaah I see. Well that's an interesting take - I was expecting forum play to be also group.

Could be interesting indeed, if you can take it .

We will see.

I am looking forward to trying something that has not been done before.  My players seem excited to try it, and to spend time in between delving into the RP, and it fits my very detailed setting (and will make it more detailed as we go).

Here is a helpful link to the Celtrician Index, which is also growing.

The Calendars
 

There are actually dozens of active calendars, most following the 6 month fashion of the elder Omwo~, or the 12 month House Wastri calender.  There are 366 days in a Celtrician year, which the Omwo~ originally separated into 6 even 60 day months, with a Lithe day in between each.  As is common in the world, things change and usage slurs terminology.   The Westic Word for month is Gosi (Go-See).  This is from the Omwo~ term Goesi,

 

 Months used in the Reckoning of Nebler (RON).
 
  Winterwane   Dumutoux (the month of Ice)   Dumotux
  Spring   Toqusuh (the month of Renewal)   Tokush
  Summerwax   Tan~os (the month of Promise)   Tanos
  Summerwane   Gosiuoni (the month of Flowers)   Gosun
  Fall   Hisieohum (the month of Leaf-fall)   Hisio
  Winterwax   Dumuquisneti (the month of Hardening)   Dumoktis

 

Obviously, the calendar related heavily to the weather in Celtricia.  But it is important to note that there is a different calendar used in the equatorial areas, developed by the Klaxik of Barstone and popularized by the nations originally settled by House Wastri.

In the North-Western cradle areas, there is a large range of tempuratures.  The Northern Grey March has flurries from the beginning of Dumoktis to the end of Dumotux, meaning 120 days of weather that is freezing or below, spending 6 days of that averaging 15-20 degrees and often dripping below the zero mark for hawaaks ata time.  The Argussians get no snow as often as they get any, and have weather below freezing for 60 days in the worst years.  

 

The year 895 RON (in the Reckoning of Nebler), translates to the ninety fifth year of the Ninth century of the Common Age in Argus.  In the Grey March, the Reckoning of Nebler is used exlusively, while in Trabler, you get both the Argussian and Neblerian.  In the Silverwood,  

In most of the Cradle area (Trabler, Orbi, The Bright Lands, The Grey March, Sembina, etc.) the RON is used, and year 0 (of the Common age and of RON) was the year that the Theocracy of Nebler was founded.  It has become more typical to use the term Common Age, and to count in terms of years and centuries, particularly by the merchant guilds.

 

Many Omwo~ mark the year 895 RON as year 7089 Since the Founding, as the Republic of Silverwood was founded back in the Age of Legends.

The eight day week known as the Hawaak is used throughout the known Celtrician world.  The normal work week in town is five and half days in terms of what people get paid for, and what the well-to-do put in.  Your nomal business owner puts in 7 out of eight days, and of course the poor folk generally work 8 out of eight days!  The work-week is supposedly Dunsak through Harvak working 10 hours a day, then 5 hours for Monak, as the moneychangers generally call it a done Hawaak right after noon.  Fasting is normally done every Fastak for the religious.
 

As for the hours and the day, As Celtricia has twin suns (Gerin and Tribin), the 22 hour day has three different phases. The Night, the Day, and the Sou (Siu, White Omwo~). The Sou is the red period in the beginning and end of the day when the weaker, reddish Gerin is the only light, the 'Red Dawn'. After 58 minutes, the brighter and more yellow Tribin starts shining, giving the day a more normal cast. As the binary suns spin around each other very quickly as Celtricia spins, the end of the day, dusk, is spent with 58 minutes without Tribin again, giving Celtricia a very Red dawn and dusk, the dusk Dou being called the Na Sou.  The hours of the day are counted from here as well (evening hours are called Na Sou, daylight hours called Sou.  7 hours after the Sou is called seven Sou, for example).

Scheduling is very hard.  This Thursday, as promised, should be the last day of character creation, so we can hopefully get Llum set up (though I still cannot see LC missing the chance to play a pubescent student in Celtrician Hogwarts...).
Next Thursday, I will now be in Vegas looking at new equipment... I apologize, but it must be.  We'll have session one on 9/26, at 8:45 on roll20.net

Meanwhile, see these new notes on the Godstraat of Stenron.  The players will end up visiting this a few times.

Don't worry about it, LV. I was about to ask when the next meeting's on as Thursday/Wednesday is approaching, heh.

The Feel of Living at the Stenron Collegium Arcana
(follow the link to go directly to the Wiki)

This is a section that continues to work on the inner working and 'feel' of the setting and campaign, and answers many questions, up to and including dress, the laws and how it feels to be in sort of a city within a city, food and drink, etc.

well, well, well.   we play our first session this thursday, 845 pm, on roll20.

Roger that.

OK, the desktop fried last night, so I will need to buy a new one tonight or tomorrow.
I'll probably be running off the ipad, so graphics will not really exist.  But I will be on.
