That what I was thinking, I figure we'll rp our individual stories. Where, as long as your comfortable you can give me the frame work and I'll run us through it, I'm going to be starting with Stoic soon. Get us going and through a little bit of his character stuff and hopefully not long before we get to a point where I'm comfortable with you getting in. My thoughts, even though it doesn't necessarily work like this in game, I'm going to tie chronologically our stories together. Starting with Stoic and ending with me. I figure for Stoics story you'll still be vanilla as it were since if I remember right you were wanting your template to come to the fore during your own story or rather as a result of it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
In the sense of my role largely I will be still working from a GMs angle taking care of npcs, etc.

As for new players I think I will still have them work partially through character creation, but in large it will be focused to the parts that give Aspects. I would like to keep that part of the system as well as Fate Points, because this allows us to alter scenes, etc. Not going to worry about that for this first part where we go through the stories, but once we move past that I would like to draw on it more.

Going to try and get my first post for Stoic's to start things up, but I look forward to talk about this more. And you should definately try the actual tabletop some times, the whole process and playing of it is fun and interesting heheh.
