In my game, at least for weapons and armor, there is no XP component, but it ends up taking time. Lots of time. 4.5 years for a +1 weapon, and it goes way up from there. Plus, you've got to really know your way around the forge. The weapon and masterwork costs and DCs remain the same. The...

Thanks! Glad you think so. My players are more used to playing Storyteller and BESM, so playing fast and loose works really well for them. Heroes need vacations too you know. Besides, most of their enemies are mortal and will die within a hundred years. When you've got eternity and have...

I'm currently running a mythic game that has every character being immortal. Arranging the game in this way encourages the PCs to take advantage of downtime, both in the making of items and the helping of their descendents in various subtle and decidedly non-subtle ways. Since levels are story...

A previous DM of mine did. As it was in a PBeM, it's slightly easier than in a tabletop game, I think. He handled it by posting "Interludes" between the major scenes of what the characters were doing as a way of making the players really hate the villian (he had great characterization), and...

The guy who wrote that was my DM for a while (Bryan Shipp, good man, a little intense though), and had them up on our campaign information website. For a really long time it was down, and now it's back (http://www.titansword.com). I don't know exactly how it was put together, and so this is...

I definitely agree. I'm getting to the point where I check once a day.

My mythic age campaign is humanocentric in that humans are the elder race (rather than the poncy elves), and the idea of the campaign centers around discovering and interacting with all the new animals and races (one of the other ideas is that no one, not even the gods, have any real idea of...

In a PBeM game I was in a rather long time ago, my DM would do this, mostly to tie together the separate scenes we did. It was very well done because he was a good writer mechanically speaking, had wonderful characterization, and often they gave us no real useful information, other than more...

Another Screenshot Better than the other one, I think. It shows the smaller column of text more clearly.

Screencap Got a screencap, but it's not so great quality. I just noticed that the caption under the diagram is: "Bastion Press: Alchemy & Herbalists by Jeff [something I can't read but would know if I went to the site right now]"

So, I'm watching episodes of my favorite new show, Full Metal Alchemist. In episode 3, there is an Intro to Alchemy book displayed onscreen, in large size. Anyone recognize this review (I'm pretty sure it's a review, though my first impression was ad copy)? Because whoever it is is getting...

I'd have a salamander wiz or sorc whose spells do not revolve around fire (but only one really, otherwise I would think it woudl seem unnatural and taking advantage of the player's sensible preparations). Seriously. Imagine the Prince's primary wizard having ice spells... it makes him...

Way back at issue 300 (the vile issue, wasn't it?) I never got my copy. Granted, I never did anything about it, and all previous and following issues made it there correctly. I always assumed that the religious right took offense and had their postal lackeys steal it, since I lived in their...

I just post the stuff that happens to me, with occasional rants and a lot of quizzes. <A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/~death_masque">http://www.livejournal.com/~death_masque</A> Edit: By the way, if anyone knows any sites for information on Japanese PS2 games, I'd appreciate it. I'm...

I think it's beacuse you *might* have cause to wear them. You never know when a pair of neon puke green glittery pumps might come in handy... or something. I have one pair of casual slip-ons for Japan, and one pair of black pumps, just in case. That's it.

So you want to change the gorgon from dusky metallic scales to golden hide? No CR increase, unless you decide to increase natural armor by a significant amount. You want to change the breath weapon (pictured as green gas) that petrifies to a yellow gas that aurifies (no, I'm not sure that's a...

Yay! I've been waiting for this for forever, it seems. But now that I've got it... hmm... what to do? A Fallen Dreadnought War Trumpet Archon? He Fell for love of the Marilith below... too bad she Rose for love of him. A Redeemed Relentless Marilith, with some phoenix aspects tossed in? The...

Thread Latecomer Hi, yet another female gamer checking in, a little late, I know. I usually live in Muncie, home of Ball State University and the Knights of the Dinner Table, but said University shipped me off to Japan this year, so I'm stuck in a land where gamers are rarer than rubies and...
