    A Few Thoughts on a New Magic System

    Well I've been really surprised by the awesome feedback thats coming my way. As is I'm pretty swamped by exams and am struggling to keep my head above water so I don't have much time to devote to this project right now. But I've read whats been said so far and the concept of MP's keeps popping...

    Creepy...

    Here's one of the creepiest things I've done as a GM in my Horror game according to one of my players. In the game she plays Jessica, a single mother, with a 5 year old girl named Amber. Now this happened shortly after Jessica and Amber had moved into a rather old and odd mansion that the...

    A Few Thoughts on a New Magic System

    Good to hear you like some of my ideas Myth. Requesting an Intercession would be specific and already defined, I'm envisioning most Intercessions being written up similar to a higher level cleric spell. In general Intercessions wouldn't vary in their results, too much randomness would happer...

    A Few Thoughts on a New Magic System

    Ok so I've been tinkering with the idea of revamping the magic system for my homebrew world. Along those lines I've come up with a couple of goals and I'm looking for help, input, advice, or ideas on how to achieve this with a minimum of complexity. So here are my goals (they're not ranked in...

    lease help with ideas for a political setting

    Here a few ideas that come to mind off-hand, I'm trying to keep to at least relatively plausible reasons for war as well. 1 - Define and establish the sort of resources that each kingdom has and doesn't have, then work out the sort of trading relationships that exist amongst the kingdoms...

    The Middlelands Campaign World

    Well this thread has sat long enough without an update. The game that was supposed to refer to this thread never materialized making its usefulness that much more minimal. Toss in my hectic life and purely creative pursuits sorta fall by the wayside. I'm however going to endevour to post more...

    Faerie Encounters

    Like I said before the game takes place both in game and out of game in the greater Penisula area of Va. This area is located in the South East of Virginia. Not many people have heard of Newport News, but hopefully you'll recognize places like Williamsburg, Yorktown, Norfolk and Virginia...

    Faerie Encounters

    No they're not, they all have been introduced to the boards but they don't have much interest or time to devote to them. I had one just join recently though so she could post a short piece for my SH about her PC. But other than that they don't frequent the boards at all. John

    Faerie Encounters

    Well RC the game has generally been a horror campaign with low-magic and a gritty feel. So far most of what the PCs encounter is completely foreign to them and I put a lot of emphasis on the mysterious and unexplainable. The campaign is what I'd characterize as suburban, its set in the Newport...

    Faerie Encounters

    Hey Crowking let me start off with saying that I've loved your hardwork detailing the fae. Personally I find your treatment of them far more realistic and useful than any of the stuff in WOTC material. I even incorporated a modified version of some of your examples in my modern d20 game. It...

    Zombies D20 Modern (Updated 8-12-05)

    Good to see you reading Puppy Kicker, having you hooked and looking for updates puts some pressure on me to keep writing. Using the local area as a setting has worked out really well for me. Like I said I grew up here so I know all the ins and outs of Newports News and living in Williamsburg...
