Nightshade Academy Wiki



Welcome to the Nightshade Academy Wiki
Nightshade Academy is a school for magic, a school that has existed for eons uncounted. With a history of students who rise up and fight evils, struggle with their own inner conflicts, and more, it carries a legacy through centuries.

Nightshade Academy is a roleplaying game run via Skype that explores the lives and adventures of its students, faculty and alumni.

About the Game System
Nightshade Academy is based in Fudge Diceless. Each character has the following as its base: Gifts are supernatural or supernormal abilities like magic, eidetic memory, unnatural grace or a divine connection. They are beneficial to the character.
 * 2 Gifts
 * 2 Flaws
 * 5 Great skills
 * 8 Good skills
 * 3 tags

Flaws are negative traits, magical or mundane. These can include things as mild as lactose intolerance all the way up to being blind or paralyzed.

Skills are things which a person could learn to do.

Tags are neutral descriptions or attributes. These are simply statements of fact which can have affects on various situations. These could include being a noble, being a divine channel, or having a certain way of looking at life.

The best way to decide if something is a Gift, Flaw or Tag is to think of how it could behave. Does it only have benefits? Then its a Gift. Does it only have detriments or make it very difficult for you to function? Then its a Flaw. Does it depend on the situation? Then its probably a Tag. Tags are the most flexible, especially since they can be invoked by anyone, player or GM.
