I think you've gotten to the point where I can dare use the Deep. Even if my players make a bee-line to the closest unexplored place it will take awhile. Except they'll walk around the whole plateau first. Drat. Ah well, I cultivate patience.

We used WoD for a Highlander-esque game. That was fun. That is a capital idea, and will try to remember it should I find myself running in WoD again.

Huh, I have the first edition and didn't notice that. I'll have to look again.

Very good. I have a number of these supplements to help set things up, but I could use a couple random tables to see how things progress over the years.

Do any of these supplements consider the passage of time? One thing I am looking for is something that generates domain events over the years. Famine, extreme weather, tragic death or celebrated birth of an heir, discovery of a new resource, &c.

Congress can take back the control of tariffs anytime they want to.

Ars Magica has, hands down, the best magic system in an rpg for me. It also assumes that wizards are usually at the top of the heap, power-wise. Not invincible, mind you. It also has a couple ways to be fairly straight forward with magic if you don't want the complexity. I believe the 4th...

Not nearly far enough. ;D

Ahh, keyboards... Cult Outline Myth / History; The entity's spiritual role, such as God of Farmers, Son of Earth Goddess Nature / Place in Society; The temple's mundane role. Popular amongst farmers, Leaders of peasant revolts Organization; Salient details of the temple itself and its...

How do you feel about sacrificing XP for magic item creation, with the caveat that others could make the sacrifice? The fighter can sacrifice the XP for the new sword, for example. That being an optional loss.

Doesn't bother me any. Eveone can still contribute ideas. That said, the opponents probably won't have fireball until everyone can take a hit.

I found the scheme for cult write-ups used in RuneQuest to be quite useful. To be clear, my main game is D&D. I freely pillage ideas from other systems. I would list the outline but I'm on my phone and my thumbs are not dexterus enough.

There were the Books of Vile Darkness and Exalted Deeds which looked in extremes of evil and good, respectively. For 3.5e, I believe there was something called liquid pain. While not a distillate of Evil, per se, it might be the closest you get. I don't recall anything similar in the Good book...

I can't think of D&D substances, but Warhammer had warpstone, and RuneQuest has truestone and ... slimestone (?).

Who's Pumayra? There was a comic book? Feeling old...

Probably not. But, it's net him a number of live appearances of which I'm sure he's compensated for.

Well, there's a voice role that's paying dividends. Cheers to the actor!

Ring-Givers or Sensates.

A world with a large city with strongly characterized neighborhoods, like Shadowrun's Seattle. Along with this some distant locales to explore like the Mystery Flesh Pit or the Long Stair. I wouldn't care about races/ancestries. Some notes on reinterpreting classes and a handful of new subclasses.

I considered this back in the AD&D days. The Rod of Seven Parts is one of my favorite artifacts, and the three sentences of lore about the Wind Dukes gave ma a lot of design space.
