    'Natural' Treasures

    The coolest natural treasure I've given my Eberron party: The last Syranian lily in existence (the rest were obliterated in the destruction of Cyre). The lily itself is encased in psionic quintessence, which is then encased in glass. I haven't decided what it's for yet, but I'm thinking that...

    Improvements after 3.5

    I have to admit that this is a point of view I don't understand. Much in the same way that the elimination of partial actions was less a rules change than it was a rules recasting, swift and immediate actions are so as well -- they simply give a name to a certain idea that already existed...

    Exexcrucication - a NOBILIS PbP

    That is one of the examples in the book, yeah.

    EXEXCRUCIATION - a Noblilis PbP

    Alyra Tannenbaum, Marchessa of Innocence Innocence glances around at her dispersed familia. "Maybe we can reconvene before bedtime, or something? I think," she says, perhaps to herself, "that might be good." She pushes herself up off of her seat with some effort and prepares to see what...

    Exexcrucication - a NOBILIS PbP

    Well, to be honest, I think the way to go in Nobilis is to insist that time and space are not physical objects, but that the prosaic world of course is reinterpreting them in a certain way as a result of the current configuration of the universe. But beyond that -- time already exists in the...

    Exexcrucication - a NOBILIS PbP

    Just as a note -- you can only create physical objects with Realm Creations. Non-physical and abstract objects in a Realm are the products of Change. And Changes always require MP. You should probably read the bit about Realm miracles and how they differ from Domain miracles -- in the Realm...

    EXEXCRUCIATION - a Noblilis PbP

    Alyra Tannenbaum, Marchessa of Innocence Alyra, who has been lost in her thoughts as she witnesses the wonders of Chivalry's castle, contributes, as if it had been bubbling at the top of her mind: "I think, Once, that it's important to remember that... well, people are people, they're not...

    Exexcrucication - a NOBILIS PbP

    The simple answer, I think, is Miracle Points. Doing this sort of thing is not to be taken lightly, and would be at minimum a Major Creation for anything of importance or significance or breadth, which means that it'll be a constant drain on Miracle Points to do so constantly. Nobilis is a...

    Exexcrucication - a NOBILIS PbP

    Hey, guys -- just wanted to let you know that I'm back from the turmoil of lack of consistent 'Net connection and finals and chaos, and so I should be posting in the next couple of days after I catch up. Thanks!

    Exexcrucication - a NOBILIS PbP

    I'm still here! Sorry, I'm just overwhelmed -- I'm still in school, all sorts of things are flying at me to finish because I'm approaching finals and the end of the term, and I'm also really sick right now. So. Um, I'll hopefully be able to post something soon, though.

    EXEXCRUCIATION - a Noblilis PbP

    Alyra Tannenbaum, Marchessa of Innocence Alyra sighs a little bit, and wipes her brow, mostly for effect. "Y'know, we've been moving around all day. Can't we, you know, actually sit down and enjoy things a bit before having to get to work? I hafta go see a little girl about her garden, you...

    EXEXCRUCIATION - a Noblilis PbP

    Alyra Tannenbaum, Marchessa of Innocence Alyra peers at the horizon of the land of Degg, as she and her Familia make their return. "A fifth path? I think I should be able to sense it. Finding hidden places and uncovering secrets is one of my specialties," she adds, leaning lazily on the prow...

    A Realization (maybe an epiphany?) about D&D

    I like rules. I especially like the KSSHRKTARRRGH sound they make when I break them. I like D&D 3.5, though.

    EXEXCRUCIATION - a Noblilis PbP

    Alyra Tannenbaum, Marchessa of Innocence "I don't know, shouldn't you?" says Alyra, taking a rather deep breath. "Aren't you the True King, after all? What I want to know is how they could seal our powers away."

    EXEXCRUCIATION - a Noblilis PbP

    Alyra Tannenbaum, Marchessa of Innocence Looking around quickly, Alyra says softly, "Shall we make our exit and, er, negotiate from a position of greater power? Or shall we wait here?"

    New Eberron PbP

    <peeks> I just thought I'd say that I've been looking for an Eberron game to play for ages. So.

    EXEXCRUCIATION - a Noblilis PbP

    Alyra Tannenbaum, Marchessa of Innocence. Very cool, Lichtenhart. "I don't think," says Alyra mutedly, putting a hand on David's shoulder, "that that would be a good idea at the moment." She steps forward, as Simon sings quietly, and levels a stare into Edwin's eyes. "What is it that the...

    I'm still here -- just waiting for Sophist to respond. But perhaps I can come up with something tonight.

    What's your Best Gimmick?

    Wow, this game seems like lots and lots of fun. Anyway, yeah, I can only point you to the Kids Next Door. Brilliantly creative show. Probably the only cartoon about kids where the leader of the group can walk into a hospital and go, "Babies? What are babies doing here? ...they must be being...
