I'd have to find my C20 book for the new rules...

but I'd say yes... usually by works of art or craft as they muse themselves so to speak.

But it would probably take a lot of sucesses or tens

I thought they could invest personal glamour in stuff?

We've been doing that yes.

And it's in the rules as it's often how you enchant mortals

"Hey, catch"

Mortal catches coin with glamour infused in it and gasps!

Right, and we're saying one of the Fae could put that Glamour in the coin.

Yes.

But for long lasting dross? probably best if it has artistic, historical, or emotional merit

Stores better 🙂

*nod* Gotcha. Hm.

And there IS a Dross background in the Enchanted book

And the way it's worded in there, I'm not sure why it would be Kinian only

Dross
You have access to a source of dross like a faerie glade, a crystal cave, a particularly eccentric antique/junk shop or even a fount. This allows you to periodically gather dross that you can use for casting cantrips and for your Faerie Gifts rather than having to use your own limited amount of Glamour for them.

Dross can also give you a valuable edge in changeling society by giving you some ‘coin of the realm’ to exchange for favors and aid on occasion, but you will have to keep the source of your dross a well-guarded secret against the Kithain and other kinain who will desire to seize it for themselves.

The rating of the background indicates how much dross can be ‘harvested’ from the source at any given time.

● 1 point of dross available per week.
●● 2 points of dross available per week.
●●● 3 points of dross available per week.
●●●● 4 points of dross available per week.
●●●●● 5 points of dross available per week.

I tend to assume Freehold have a default dross background one dot lower than their balefire rating.

but that's a guideline more than ironclad.

*Nod* But without that background, what would the mechanics for dross creation be?

The rule book is all the way down the stairs somewhere. Whimper

*L* Well, no worries. I can't do anything about it NOW anyways.

They don't like giving mechanics

they also play both sides of glamour is rare and glamour is plentiful

terribly inconsistent

They who?

And, I guess it -could- be both, depending on your Court and your location.

true

I prefer generous glamour

True. Hon estly, a lot of developer aned ST Bias might come into play. If I think suburbs are orderly unimaginative areas void of creativity and cities are where brilliance comes alive, then it might show in the settings I GM. If I think cities are dystopian hellholes where hope is ground down, and the country side is where you can rediscover your joy, It might also show. I TRY to show examples of both and mix it up. DeBuke farm is magical... megacorps farm next to it ? Soul less. Tijuana is crime ridden ground down... sparse... until you find an oasis of glamour THRIVING in some local artist collection etc.

*nod* It's both, that's the duality of C:tD, part of its nature. Both sides of the coin, but ONE coin.

I try to be honest with myself and my players (Try being the chief word) and have fun with it.

For example, not in the rules I don't think, but SOME cat lover is certain that Cats can ALWAYS see Chimera

and it's not a game breaker so I'm not going to fuss if said cat lover describes an unechanted feline chasing after chimerical butterflies while mortals think the cat is just bonkers

Hell, I see that regularly at my house.....

Exactly

messages from cat planet

Per the dross question....I sort of got the idea that while humans can make dross, with fae dross sort of has to happen, like through proximity to significant story points. "This napkin ring, you see, was the very one at the duchess's right hand the moment her lover was turned into a turnip...."

Oooh, and Happy Birthday to Catnik! 🙂

I like that idea, Rahne

And sorry. I got a call out to my dad.

So slow response there

caaaaake

Do you get some? You should. Cake is good.

yellow w/chocolate icing

oooo

Nummy!
