    Table of 10

    I have this little idea about 10 players being able to do something TRAP style GMless. With cards. But 3.5e is probably too complicated to add this as a layer on top. Must... keep... thinking...

    Table of 10

    I think this might be a job for OD&D (1974) I can't believe I just wrote that. I may have a diaglovirus.

    Good (card) Suit names?

    Didn't there use to be 7, and the pot of gold was the 8th? Rainbows and red baloons are just overkill.

    Repositioning the "Wizards Presents:" books

    I'm not saying they shouldn't consider it at all, but these things seem flash in the pan to me - I mean I see enough negativity and fighting online about 4e in general that I can't imagine how WotC can take these into account. As another example: Remember (was it a year ago?) when you...

    Besides the way to get there, why 108?

    Good (card) Suit names?

    Cool concept. Also, I had a Eureka! moment while trying to sleep. I can keep 5 and 3, by showing how 3 modifies 5 as verbs. Direct, Resist, Permute Break: Strike, Scatter, Stir Crys: Order, Shield, Delineate Osmos: Exchange, Flow, Proxy Root: Grow, Invigorate, Decay Weave: Connect, Entwine...

    Repositioning the "Wizards Presents:" books

    What gets me worried is that WotC is paying attention to the negative feedback online. Online gamers aren't a representative sample, and the online gamers who choose to make noise about something are a very, very skewed sample. That said, I think the criticisms about the product being...

    What's in your OGC future?

    What do you plan on releasing as OGC in the future? Myself, I'm working on an adaptable systemless setting in a encyclopedia-style format. I'm also planning on eventually putting out the TRAP system, and possibly a GMless card-based story game.

    Good (card) Suit names?

    I was getting ready to explain how it works... but it doesn't. :uhoh: Zing. You've seen it exactly: The five and three are the same thing at different levels of complexity. I'd rather change the three, but I'm not sure about only 3 times of day.

    Good (card) Suit names?

    Clarification: The 120 symbols are the building blocks - the 8 are groupings of those building blocks. I'm pretty confident that the 120 are sufficient for "building blocks" based on their combination of gender (yin/yang), method (use force, resist force, permute force), season, and principle...

    Good (card) Suit names?

    Idea! Keep Hope -> Sloth / Despair but do it with other kinds of symbols, so they can be stretched into positive and negative aspects but still show ways they are prone to causing conflict. Hope: Suns Pride: Crowns Greed: Coins Lust: Cups Envy: Orbs Gluttony: Bowls Wrath: Knives Sloth/Despair...

    Good (card) Suit names?

    Interesting properties of 120: It has the most divisors of any number up to itself. It is a 3-perfect number: its factors including 1 and itself sum to 360 120 =1*2*3*4*5 (5 factorial) =1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15 (15th triangular number) =1+3+6+10+15+21+28+36 (8th tetrahedral number)...

    Heads up Morrus: I saw the link and jumped in before I read the offer, so my two payments are separate transactions. As of now I'm paid till fall '08 so now... it's fall '12, right? This is a better use of that money I was going to spend on .pdfs that don't exist. :)
