Aeon Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 I was just reading some of Adventure! last night and in particular the letters written between Mercer and Donighal. It struck me that the Aeon Society that Donighal advocates but Mercer rejects most vehemously is actually the same type of organisation that the Aeon Trinity has grown into! You know guiding humanity and keeping secrets. Oh, the irony!Does anyone else agree on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 In the Aberrant PG there's that section about Aeon that indicates that they've strayed from Max's original intention. I've always felt that they'd never just 'fade away when no longer needed' - institutions don't die easily, and I imagine the heads of the Trinity could always find another problem that 'needs attending to' before they can close shop. By the Trinity era, Aeon is doing a lot of good work despite their sometimes 'cloak and dagger' attitude, so maybe that's not necessarily a bad thing.

CHILL Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 You've both hit the nail on the head I think...Aeon has become an Institution by the aberrant and morso the Trinity era.Bad Aeon, Bad (thats the trinity, not you Aeon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 And there I was waiting for Admin to get out his paddle and put Aeon over his knee. :Blush I agree that it has strayed from its original purpose. Otha even warns them of it in Luna Rising.-Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlequin Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 ok, i got a question this has always bothered the hell out of my about trinity as a game... for as important and omni-present as aeon is,what the hell do they do?now, i'm not talking aberrant or adventure... the trin. books make vauge referneces to it being a liason between the orders, a philantrophist organization, and it having three (ill-defined) projects... that's all nice and good, but it doesn't answer the question. they guide humanity, how? they find secrets, why? who's in charge? where are they headquartered? what is their goal? how big is the society? how does one join? why would someone join?it just seems to me that for supposedly being the center of the game, aeon is blatantly ignored... they don't even have a blurb really... you would think there'd be a source book for something so important, or at least a reasonably sized chapter somewhere detail it at least a little... so, i guess if anyone has any answers that would be great... -harle(sorry for the rant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Harle, try the Trinity Player's Guide. I can bring it with me Friday if needed. I can also bring my "Aeon are the Good Guys" lecture, detailing the org. Pictures, flowcharts, and everything. :happy -Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeon Posted February 28, 2002 Author Share Posted February 28, 2002 Joe's right. That and the number of different Aeon reps that always seem to be in the background all the time - from the UN, to the Orders to national governments. It has become the conspiracy that Mercer did not want it to be. A bit tragic really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukikage Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 The Trinity Player's Guide has a nice fat chunk of info that'll probably answer all your questions. Topics range from General Structure (from Central Headquarters to Chapter Houses) to how the Trinity deals with governments, corperations, and Psi Orders to a complete breakdown of all three divisions and who heads up every little branch to the ÆON Council and its functions to how backgrounds work for ÆON members to the daily life of ÆON members and finally to how ÆON puts together teams for missions.If you're looking for an ÆON sourcebook, pick up the Player's Guide.

Aeon Posted February 28, 2002 Author Share Posted February 28, 2002 It is the best available for Trinity in my opinion, a must have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
