Hey so what's the deal with Jotunblud? I'd assume animals become loyal, but is there also a telepathic bond or inherent vigil mark?
And are there wild bears in Norway? If only we had someone with a squad of scouts who could search around for wildlife.... Then we could send the bear into the mines first to scout around.

First level slightly boosts animal strength or stamina and makes them loyal to you for a month. Second level boosts human strength and/or stamina a little more and makes them loyal to you and grumpy around others for a month. Third level boosts human strength and/or stamina more than the second, and the loyalty lasts for three months. The boosts to physical stats don't expire the way the loyalty does.
That's all there is to it. Nothing about telepathy or vigil brands or anything, just mundane loyalty and a physical boost.
Also in the game you technically still need to invest points into it, it's just that it's a skill inherent to all Aesir, not limited by which parent god you have.
I.e anyone has it/can develop it, but not everyone can use it/will develop it.

Still not embarrassing enough to stan billionaires or tech companies.I guess it depends on the game. My fastest games slow to a crawl on weekends. Though some of my games that are super slow actually go faster on weekends due to people posting once they have some free time.
Also I glanced around the reference site, what sort of knacks do we have so far from our stats? Some of these are immensely useful and seem like stuff we'd bring up in this planning stage in the game, like shapeshifting, temporary invulnerability, and being able to throw a submarine 400 yards.
The birds are just being total smartasses. Nordic Scions are no better or worse equipped for cold weather than regular mortals unless they have something like Epic Stamina or the Frost purview.
The snow is a concern in the way snow is always a concern - as long as you're equipped for it, it's fine.

Still not embarrassing enough to stan billionaires or tech companies.Sorry about that disappearance. Real life got really, really scary for a few days there.
Anyway, I wanted to hear if you guys want to skip the negotiation phase of getting a car and just skip straight to the mines so we can get into the meat of things? Because in that case I'll just write up a longer post describing the mines themselves and we can have at it.

By the way, I'm finally getting semi-decent sketches of my character, and holy shit, these are some of the best bangs I've ever drawn on the fly!
