Give me the evocative details of your mighty spires, your hidden, crooked towers and the wizards and sorcerors that lurk within. Do they cast a pall across the land, do their names inspire whispering and fear? Are they friend, foe, real or legend, strange or stranger? What makes them...

It occurred to me that long-lived races / entities are treated in a very prosaic manner in most settings. I mean think about it - we have all sorts of trouble relating to humans with twice or three times our experience in the real world. What sort of subtle alienness comes with even greater age...

Share your unique and interesting taverns - there's no such thing as too many drinking establishments in a campaign ... and shameless resource sharing makes us all better people :) The Silvered Horn The Silvered Horn is a worn, comfortable tavern nestled against the old city wall on the low...

Nothing like a good sea monster to make (some) players think twice about tactics. So share! Here's one from Principia Infecta to get the ball rolling (and as you can see, I'm incapable of writing anything without putting a sage in there somewhere...): Year of the Great Eel Strange things...

I overflow with ideas for stories and gaming but I'll never have the time to go through the tradition publishing path - or even the modern non-traditional path. I don't want to write books and tie everything together and deal with all the hassles that come with publishing PDFs even. But it seems...

Never let it be said that transhumanists don't produce good material for evil GMs :) http://www.nickbostrom.com/fable/dragon.html There's a fair amount of idea material in this rather clever fairy tale, I think. Reason

One of the annoying problems going forward with D&D3/3.5 is the way in which the standard ruleset really requires magic to keep your AC high enough not to be a punching bag in combat. This becomes a problem when you're working with low-magic settings. My house solution is expressed in the...

Since Chapter Three (the Cult of Io Hejin, and lots of religious goodness) is horribly long, I've posted some teaser material. http://www.twilightminds.com/sorasfull.html Look for the "Fragment: Lesser Faiths" entry. Information on the Cult of the Eye, True Believers, Servants of the Farseer...

Chapter Two, all about the Enierd and their interesting way of life, has now been enriched with nineteen plot seeds. I know that took me far too long (even at only one per page), but go look! http://www.twilightminds.com/sorasfull.html Comments are always welcome. Per usual, my plot seeds are...

http://www.twilightminds.com/sorasfull.html The cultures of Spirits of Rock and Sky measure weight in units of (adult, average, subjective) fingerbones, skulls and bodies. Which leads me to an interesting problem; seems my concept of skull weight has been off base for quite the while. I'm...

In the spirit of a number of people here, I've decided to keep up an infrequent commentary on my rewrite of Spirits of Rock and Sky. I'll even try to keep it to this one thread :) http://www.twilightminds.com/sorasfull.html ----------------------------------- WHY SORAS? Spirits of Rock and...

Is this lunacy? Have I just been playing too many odd computer games (and watched the Swiss Family Robinson at too early an age)? Is this something that every other GM looks at and imagines hours of fun stemming from it? Will players be challenged and amused by something this odd? Plot Seed...

Spirits of Rock and Sky marches on. Plot seeds have been added to the Chapter One alpha preview. These should give some insight into the way in which life is lived. I plan on keeping up the one per page rule throughout most of the setting book. Some actual d20 rules (shock, horror) have been...
