    [Blogging] A to Z 2013

    I am sad that I wasn't aware of this theme :(. I read through a couple of your posts and find them to be pretty decent... Though I do have a few questions regarding if you're making any cash on your PDFs. Always did wonder if it is worthwhile to self-publish :). Slainte, -Loonook.

    Can we stop the Angel Summoner BMX Bandit comparisons

    I feel wrong giving a Moderator XP... But I have to agree with this specifically. Sadly those who do complain about things don't look back over the rest of the game's history... And when enlightened about how each edition handles it, usually cause a lot of troubles/break up threads :(. So I...

    Brainstorming Beautiful "Orcs" and "Goblins"

    So fratricide is out but bestiality/monstecest is okay? Alright... I'm out. Have fun with that. Slainte, -Loonook.

    Economy and D&D

    Water Water Everywhere... So I have been looking into one of those civic wonders... The Decanter of Endless Water. How useful is a Decanter of Endless Water to our small community? The purchase of a Decanter is a bit of an expenditure to our Noble... But it is extremely useful for the...

    Brainstorming Beautiful "Orcs" and "Goblins"

    Why not just make them into the next step from Spartans? I was just reading this article and thinking about your hypothesis. Around this I was thinking about two of the concepts: the Tasmanian Devil and the Shark. The race reproduces at a rate much higher than would normally be expected by...

    Economy and D&D

    So I was doing some additional math on possible estates… And I believe I have provided for it. This estate would be around 4 square miles of farmland including the hamlet that it belongs in, and the income to the location. I have used MMS: Europe, DMG I 3.x, Stronghold Builder’s Guide, and...

    Favorite Mundane Characters in High Magic Settings?

    So I was actually thinking today about our cavalcade of posts discussing mages being overpowered and show-stoppers... And then started wondering about mundane characters in high fantasy settings. To be honest I find myself drawn moreso to the Mundane (or Mundane with Magic Item) characters in...

    Troll Lord Games looking foe a few good men

    If there was a short submission process followed by a generation of an adventure for 5% upon receipt I think you would have more takers. You get 10 adventures out of which you may take 3, and have 7 mostly-built adventures that may need a bit of polishing... And the group doesn't feel horrible...

    Roleplaying Power

    I think you're confusing Power with Agency. You can have an enormous reservoir of power, but by being part of a structured society your agency can diminish rapidly. Being a High Priest you probably have a lot of power over those who are about... But how much power can you act upon given your...

    Search for Eternal Youth: Spells Alter and Polymorph Self

    Agreed. Sadly most games have you go from 1st-20th level in a few years... Lots of Final Fantasy style 'unaging' games. Longevity was also a popular potion because they were a.) rare, and b.) protected/abjured the effects of age draining effects. Sadly we got rid of a lot of the built-in...

    Iron Bands of Bilarro

    The effect of the Iron Bands, while physical, are delivered strictly through the magic effects of an item. What would be more useful is a bola version of the bands... Though again trip doesn't necessarily impede movement, just trips the beast ;). Slainte, -Loonook.

    Troll Lord Games looking foe a few good men

    Have to agree with Piratecat. If someone decided to ask me to do a writeup in my normal work with no actual idea beyond an extremely rough idea... And offer no guarantee of payment on submission for a major project? It seems like a way to get a lot of data dump that can then be used for making...

    Ravencraft and other Adventures

    Wow... Just... What more can I say? I love the attention to detail, especially on the Staircase :D. Amazing work... You get XP for this :). Slainte, -Loonook.

    Muahahaha! (Evil "Kingmaker")

    Well depends... I mean, are we playing Snidely Whiplash Evil, Black Company "Extremely Dark Grey with shades of Granite" Evil, or "Devils have better plumage" evil? The idea of a cave as a lair for do-gooders works... But how are they controlling Unrest? Personally I'd take their old 'good'...

    Streamline the Epic Sandbox

    I like some of the ideas presented here, and may incorporate some of the concepts later... However, right now I'm just trying to present the basics :). So I stated I was going to cover Stress Immunity and Stress Reduction. Simply put, treat these Immunities and Reductions as dropping available...

    Help with a freeform survival campaign

    This is my suggestion. You can create multiple locations, 'link' them based on travel, and have circulating random encounters. It works pretty well for the most part :). Slainte, -Loonook.

    Search for Eternal Youth: Spells Alter and Polymorph Self

    For one Marut maybe... I would think that Neutral forces who go up against Freaks Screwing with the Immutable Laws of the Universe believe in Force Appropriate Response :p. Slainte, -Loonook.

    Would You Use A (Villainous) Race Like This?

    You stated a race... And it doesn't fit what you're discussing here. So if you're looking for something crunch-to-flavor you have to actually give something to work off of. And elves are not the end-all be-all of beauty... Not sure where ya got that one :D. Slainte -Loonook.

    Search for Eternal Youth: Spells Alter and Polymorph Self

    Alter Self does not work that way... You cannot make yourself Immortal through the spell. Same with PaO as it follows the AS rules. Slainte, -Loonook.

    Rules for Torture/Brainwashing?

    Oh no. She just brought him within 0 HP then heals him back up... Over, and over, and over, and over... :D. But I guess that is her option, being what she is :). Slainte, -Loonook.
