I'd be up for one. But I'm salivating too heavily about the prospect of playing Jadzia again to not go ahead on my character creation idea.
The other issue is when we would do it. Since we seem to be struggling to organise any actual sessions anyway.

I assumed command would provide any troops with standard equipment, and arsenal was for stuff on top of that - or for buying artifacts for the leader. how worthwhile are dots of command if my troops have no equipment? Yeah. I mean, it's not like they will turn up naked. Just with the cheapest stuff that it's possible to have and still be a solider

Why do all of my campaigns end with casual violence and/or nudity?

Because you associate with people who have the minds of children. Shame on you.

I'm not worried when they end that way. I'm worried when they begin that way. Says the self-styled "paragon-slut-commando"... Am up for a prelude but as BSR says, scheduling is an issue. Is there an upcoming weeknight free for everyone? Alternatively, I happen to have most of this weekend clear (Friday evening and Saturday day being the only potential clashes).

Again, am away for the next two weekends and almost certainly busy for the one after that. Then there's probably already a session the one after that. So I'm only going to be on weeknights for the next 4 weeks - and next week is out.
If we already have characters, is it worth the faff of organising it? Given that it's not a real session I'd suggest perhaps not.

Given that it's not a real session I'd suggest perhaps not. Yeah, that's kind of how my own thinking was going. We could perhaps do it pre/post golden opportunity on the 30th? But that doesn't give much time before the session. It's a really good idea, but it seems like it's not practical this time round.

Oh well, we'll just have to hash things out here then Artifacts-wise, am torn between the practicality of jade hearthstone bracers and the coolness of a Lightning Box (though I suspect this would only end up being a one-shot item). Other problem is if i go for a LB, then i'm one hearthstone setting short with no more dots to buy a(nother) HS Amulet. For info: Artifacts: Infinite Jade Chakram, Short Daiklave (HS), HS Amulet Stones: (all 3 are 1dots from OC) Jewel of the Flying Heart, Gem of Night Vision, Jewel of Youthful Suppleness

A short daiklave doesn't have a hearthstone setting.
I had the same problem with my hearthstones. i think you may find the bracers more useful than a lightning box.
also, with manse 2 do you not get 4 dots worth of hearthstones?

Cool. Unlikely to be able to post a character sheet until I'm back from skiing, I'm afraid - sorry

Actually, text for a short daiklave says they "do not generally" include them, which suggests there are examples which do. And it would go so nicely with the Jewel of the Flying Heart (to create "Fang of Midnight's Heart" - *the* premier weapon for today's stylish Air-aspected rogues ;p)
Had a change of heart on ranged weapon - will prob swap to Sling of Deadly Prowess which is a cooler item and more in keeping with stealthy, concealable concept.
Manse 2 gives 3 dots of HS not 4 according to DB book. Kinda annoying, coz Manse 3 gives 6 dots worth.
A short daiklave with a hearthstone socket would probably be artifact 2; 1-dot artifacts with hearthstone sockets are quite rare, since being a hearthstone socket is itself a 1-dot power. Baneclaws (artifact sai) seem to be the exception, which is why I'm saying that single baneclaw would not have a socket.

Suspected you'd say that Will take it as 2-dot with HS then, coz it fits Cobalt's char. And I guess I'll take the HS bracers as well unless I can rejig some dots to get Artifact 4 so as to have artifact armour as well but attunement costs are starting to rack up...
