    Explorative History Lessons

    Read this. The Adventurers are going to need money to sponsor their voyage... And could sell off stock and trade offerings for their time in the breach. They will need laborers, craftsmen, miners, foresters, teamsters, masons, smiths, accountants, and soldiers to be able to make anything of...

    Magical Manufacturing

    And breaks the rules of the spell. The spell cannot be made to make items of great intrinsic value... my emphasis sits with the fact of intrinsic value. The item created has great intrinsic (and extrinsic) value in its total mass, and would be breaking the spell. Of course ymmv but just by...

    Economy and D&D

    A Magician's Academy: The Great Library of the Order Now... Let us recap. As of right now our Order Creator needs to invest a lot of cash... After the creation of the shell game that is the Foyer of the Unseen (and its associated groups of false Guildhalls) we must work on the Academy...

    Economy and D&D

    Personally I would need to know the following to be able to make any real headway: On your first example: What is the number/percentage of produce the Church is requiring for the right of fiefdom over the tithe? What taxes are your characters levying? How many Adult Commoners do you have...

    The Debt of the Seas

    The Debt of the Seas is a tale that has appeared among men who have braved voyages across the Great Sea. Those sailors who pass certain places while asleep say the story fills their dreams. There are many who claim that the tale is completely incorrect, though men of the Arts have wondered...

    Legendfall

    If you actually read the thing you may purchase equipment at creation... It increases your debt. The GP in the Debt operate as a version of GP as XP. You have a certain amount of GP you pay off per level, which does a few things: a.) An individual can start play as an extremely indebted, low...

    Prataferro: A New Campaign

    Cruel Aeo. Cruel. The Flesh Price serves as an offset of Level Adjustment and a bit of balancing factor for various classes. The Setting will also be using a series of rules for Training and other options... But I also wanted to create something unique. So I went with the Miseravel. What...

    Legendfall

    Well if you wish to look at what I'm working on for Prataferro you can look at the beginning of the rules for Flesh Price, my take on a "GP as XP" system that has a built-in Social Class system, and the Miseravel, the Collector's 'men'. I'm starting to work towards something new and interesting...

    Miseravel

    Jarlo ran down the winding streets of Elm, seeking any respite. The dawn had brought their notice in writing only he could see, and the debt will be paid. He had been running for hours, seeing their ragged robes, smelling their coppery breath. They descended on him. He could not run. The...

    Prataferro: A New Campaign

    It is the Age of Exploration. Gunpowder is still quite expensive... But Pathfinder does include them with some not-so-terrible versions of guns. The fact is that the economy of the early period doesn't have a depth-of-field that I wanted to work with... And I don't mind blunderbuss and...

    Legendfall

    Chat program. Don't like PBP. I collapsed my old game due to player issues... So I wouldn't mind forming a new group but its a matter of finding decent players who can actually deal with a setting :D. Slainte, -Loonook.

    Flesh Price

    The Flesh Price is the Initial Cost any Adventurer has acquired before he begins his Adventure. This rate varies depending on the Adventurer's Class, time/quality of training, Caste, and Advantages/Flaws. The Debt cannot be bypassed by anything short of death, and even then an individual's...

    Legendfall

    I'm actually going to be slowing down on Legendfall for a bit, and opening up Prataferro, which is kind of the new format I've been thinking of with a lot of the ideas of Legendfall put in. Slainte, -Loonook.

    Prataferro: A New Campaign

    So I have officially decided to close the books on Legendfall for at least awhile... But the homebrewing bug has yet to leave the cockles of my heart. Or perhaps the sub-cockles... Somewhere in the general cardiac area. After delving into the Economy of D&D a bit I think I've found my muse in...

    Economy and D&D

    A Magician's Academy: The Threefold Entrance, and Spending Lots of Money So I have been doing this project on how much it costs to build a really great Mage's Academy. The first room that I wanted to get down was that of the Gatehouse, or Foyer, of the Academy. I thought about all sorts of...

    Economy and D&D

    We were meant for the stage... The crowd goes into the Great Theater for a true tale... And what a tale to be told. It is the last night of the Kingsmoot, and the Great Shah and our High King have spent years preparing for their meeting, and their sponsored troupes are prepared. The sounds of...

    Brainstorming Beautiful "Orcs" and "Goblins"

    I never said they live in caves... But alright. My description spoke of a labyrinth beneath their city centers where they send their 'children' to battle for a year, only then pulling their newly forged 'adults' up to teach them the world based on their skills. Which is pretty much a new...

    Brainstorming Beautiful "Orcs" and "Goblins"

    So has xenophilia to create monsters... In fact it is one of the oldest tropes. My idea actually gives you an option for multi-tiered lifeforms that aren't flashy... because evil isn't stat-based. Slainte, -Loonook.

    Low Tech Biotech

    Okay... It's been bugging me. Coral age, not Corral :). In an aquatic environment heavy amounts of poisons, bioluminescence, coral shaping, and the use of clams to produce baroque pearls would be common. Aquatic creatures can 'fly' in water, as they live in a three dimensional environment...

    Can we stop the Angel Summoner BMX Bandit comparisons

    And that's the thing. Fighters so rarely get to change their target numbers without investing a large sum of feats into various odd forms of martial prowess. If a fighter could target Will without having to invest in weak powers like Intimidating Presence or similar he could be more...
