HEy just got a brainwave! Why would the spirits want to be material again? And why are spirits immaterial in the first place? Maybe the Garuda - or other god-folk types - exist not just as Outsiders, but are also here on the Prime Material as actual physical forces and objects. Their temples...

P Ramlee as the Sorceror FTW!

The muse of inspiration! It's like... being held captive by the spirit that possesses you, of fevered artistic passion, until something so painful and great comes to pass that you are utterly drained by its creation.. it's like the Fair Folk in Exalted, demanding mortals to allow them to enter...

Ya, that does make the whole thing sound kinda whack. i mean, it's literally "my favourite enemy" lol.

Petaling Jaya ah? I went to visit my friend there last yr, he brought me to this really cool place with wild boar curry haha! Good, there're some Singaporean players on this forum too, we should go JB for curry fish head lah. On bohz? LOL look at how i'm talking. On an off-note, have you ever...

Hey Aikuchi, you're from Malaysia? Which part ah, abang? I'm guessing Penang. :-p

You could have items demanding to be made. Like, you know.. they exist as spirits that whisper to people in omens and dreams, demanding to be shaped into weapons of power for virtuous men and women. These items are not just sentient - they are consciously working to get themselves into...

Some thoughts about Astur-Monotheism - you can actually tie that in with Reincarnation. Just a thought - if all beings are of the same divinity - of the One God, so as to speak - then everyone is a subset of that divinity. People die, live, are reborn, with their lives serving as "refining...

haha i would love to help on a creative project... i'm still thinking if i should do my Masters thesis on something vaguely concerning RPGs, the Internet, and Southeast Asian mythology.

No worries man! Glad to help :-p I carry a piece of yellow paper with me wherever i go. It's a buddhist blessing, given to me by my mom, who got it from a temple here in Singapore. It's one of the oldest temples, and people believe in the power of the divinations and blessings from the priests...

Hi, Time for me to use my 4 yrs of undergrad work! Warfare in the Southeast Asian region in historical times, according to archaeological and archival evidence seems to be focused not so much on killing people, but rather on kidnapping them. It's like - we've got so much land and forests...

Hi, I like the monk because I like Asian stuff - well, cos I'm Chinese, and I grew up within that cultural framework, I guess. I like underdog, subaltern heroes who excel through perserverance and dogged determination, and I got my first exposure to the monk in early editions of OA; back...

Dimensional Fortress - Army of Me high level Elan shaper madness - everytime you take a hiatus. create vast quantities of quintessence, and store them somewhere safe. adventure as usual with your party, get your funds, set some aside and make some money on the sidelines (with Divination and...
