More Ritual of Scrying Pondering...
Thinking about the name for the player who participates through the Ritual of Scrying. I'm tempted by Mage Player, to fit with the whole Rogue Player business, and to resurrect "mage" after I expelled it from the name of the thread. But I'm not entirely onboard with it.
While I ponder, I'm curious about your opinion. Do any of these appeal to you? Do you have a better one?
What about "Seer Player" or maybe "Witness Player"? I like the sense in which this player is remote viewing far worlds beyond one's own by arcane means.
ReplyDeleteI rather like Seer Player.
ReplyDeleteMystic Player?
ReplyDeleteMystikos?
I like “seer” but not before “player” as the double er is too much. Oracle player?
ReplyDeleteSeer is great or Watcher or Observer. Maybe you don’t need the word “player”?
ReplyDeleteMaybe "Rogue Seer."
ReplyDeleteI appreciate every effort to make the watcher-from-afar feel as much like a player/character in the tale as possible both in-fiction and out.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's important to me that everyone who participates, no matter how they participate, is recognized as a player.
ReplyDeleteRight now, I'm going with Seer Player. Partly because I forgot how much I love the word "Seer" but also because now I say things like, "See the simulacrum of my scrying seer's soul shimmering in the astral sea!"
