Joben did a game in this style.
Huh. I don't remember that. Or, really, anything of Joben's except his raptor games.

The Esoteric Beasts remind me a bit of the Spiderwick Chronicles.
Eh. All we know is that they include standard fantasy critters plus "little green men," and that they aren't demons or spirits of the dead. We don't have enough to go on there.

Is it just me or do we have a lot of magical people? I don't think we need a dozen Mediums and Clairvoyants. I'll change if I have to, but I like the backstory I made.

I like your backstory too.  But I don't like your math -

The Froggy Ninja - Skeptic.
GreatWyrmGold - Medium
Imp - Believer
mastahcheese - clairvoyant
Remuthra - either rationalist or believer (hasn't made character yet).

So I don't think we're overbalanced at all.  If anything, we're slightly underbalanced (no priest) so the demons will eat us, oh well.  I shall believe until I die!  And maybe even after  ;D

Bloody hell, I'm not even ready for character sheets... Let's see if I can't speed getting ready for this up a bit, hm?

Okay, halfway through writing up the first 'case' and part of the way through analysing the character sheets for the right 'buttons' to push.

*grins eagerly*

Take your time, lordGamer.

Something about how you wrote the opening post, and how you've spoken to us since, makes me think this game's worth the wait if you need some time.

Well, the first case will be simple enough, because if you fuck up you WILL know about it. Sometimes you may think you won but you didn't.

Okay, finalise the 'party'.

The Froggy Ninja - Skeptic
GWG - Medium
Imp - Believer
Mastahcheese - Medium OR Skeptic. Can you make a definite choice? Your description didn't really specify.
Remuthra - Waiting on you mate.

Cause... demons and.  So.  Eep?

The title of the first chapter/'case' is Why Don’t You Come Away With Me? A priest can be added after this case, though it ups the risks of something going wrong. And things can go wrong.

Huh. It looked like there was a lot more magic floating around the backstories.

You misspelled "will".

Just reread your sheet GWG and since I can't find many 'buttons' to push, I'm just gonna make that 'minor' demon in the backstory a recurring antagonist for you.
