    A Dark High Fantasy RPG

    What if you called hero points 'heroic surges'? That's a nice callback to healing surges, and I think still describes them. Alright, let's see if I can kill some of your babies. --- Have you seen Dungeon World before? Some of your Streetwise upshots look a bit like the move options in that...

    D&D 4.5E (Not Essentials)

    Hmm, my vote would be to give it its own thread, but keep us updated in this thread on what you're doing in case it can feed back in to this project.

    The Talking Watch of the Doge Albus Flidge’s most sophisticated clockwork requires not just the delicate hands of his jermalaines, but actually their continued involvement in its operation. He seals them up in the mechanism so they can keep it wound and greased. Recently, a pocket watch bought...

    D&D 4.5E (Not Essentials)

    That sounds incredible - I'd love to see this happen. I'm hoping that with the end of support for 4E, lots of projects like this will pop up around the place, just as there are lots of retroclone-esque games that make greater changes.

    D&D 4.5E (Not Essentials)

    That's a good point; given that I'd recommend just going with Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike/a public domain licence, rather than trying to mix either with the Open Game License and all the extra baggage that brings. My suggestion is to have a wiki that anyone can use, and get people...

    Sosaria the Brave (48.18) The civic anthem of Sosaria, Sosaria the Brave, is remarkable both for its contents and the response that it provokes from Sosarians. The anthem was lifted from Alexandrine, to the extent that it still refers to Sosaria’s ‘industry renowned and manufacture cunning’...

    I've saved a backup of the wiki on my wiki. (These hex entries not added to the wiki yet). Thousand-Year-Old Steel (03.16) The High King was not the only one put out by the rebellion of the Sanguine Lords. The council of advisors that the Lords displaced also lost their positions. These...

    Good stuff, Daztur - I've added it to the wiki. All Along the Witchwater (36.07) Old Midge is a beaver whose dam runs along the Witchwater. He’s more daring than most - Riparia’s outposts are usually fortified holes dug into the banks, but Old Midge dares slow the Witchwater’s course. The...

    D&D 4.5E (Not Essentials)

    Game terms are not, to the best of my knowledge, subject to copyright. I think the legal dangers of the project are if we are found to be copying the text of the game rather than its terminology. However, a compromise could be the wording that was used in Dark Dungeons: Dark Dungeons uses...

    D&D 4.5E (Not Essentials)

    I love the idea of a project like that. You might want to look at some of the other clones of 4E that people have been working on: http://fossilbank.wikidot.com/engine:dungeons-dragons-4e (That includes one I was working on and might pick up again, Orcus, which is envisaged as a glossary and...

    Blessed are the Meek Alberon, the story goes, desired the witchcraft of the Pacharia. As a man, it was to him - as it is to all of his gender - denied. So Alberon passed out of the sight of men and returned as the Lady of Pain. He dressed as a sturdy fishwife and went unto the Pacharia to...

    Does anyone know how to backup Wikia wikis? I'd hate for all our hard work to be lost. --- Bloodwretches (Jahur) Inspired by: Goblin Punch, ‘Post-Poning Empire’ Vampirism - as the Lords Sanguine could tell you - has different forms and severities. Bloodwretches are allergic to sunlight and...

    Bolgaroth the Schemer (36.05) Drogo claims to have been pursued through the Kingswood by a monstrous presence as tall as the trees. The diminutive man’s mad sprint carried him only so far before a heavy furred hand clamped on his shoulder. A head as large as Droog himself lowered to his...

    The Larva Formally Known as a Demon Prince (27.05) If explorers approach this cave they will hear the loud Demonic ranting of a whiskered larva about the size of a dog. This red-and-black banded being, with a droopy hangdog expression, claims to be a demon prince trapped in this form by his...

    The Ducal Thicket (17.15) The Mirror Throne (16.16) once stored the soul of Castle Tarengael's most recently deceased ruler so he or she could provide guidance to his or her heir.
