This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Brand55;856768I don't recall that specifically being addressed. Since there are two general ways of translating (a group-initiated translation involving meditation or a translation involving a gate) you could actually use both. If the group travels through a gate, the characters won't know what to expect on the other side. But if they translate under the more controlled conditions of a group-initiated translation, they'll arrive in their chosen forms.

That does make sense and keeps the occasional element of surprise. Honestly I just think it would be more fun to be surprised sometimes by how you change to fit the Recursion. But I understand that allot of people don't care for surprises regarding their own characters and The Strange seems to lean in the "Shared narrative control" direction as far as design goes.
Remember when Illinois Nazis where a joke in the Blue Brothers movie?

Democracy, meh? (538)

 "The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn't even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it."
