:] We do not approve of this depiction of Us. :] </failed will save> Ahhh, hive minds ... :)

An expanded version of the Black Company CS magic system - you can create almost any effect, if you have the right feats and a high enough skill modifier. So incredible flexible :). I'm saying expanded version, because the system as is stays quite close to the Black Company books, which is of...

(Gehen, ging gegangen ^= to go, went, gone) actually, but that's for nitpicking native speakers like me. ;)

Oooohhh, nice update :). And happy birthday, Shemeska!

In order to get more familiar with the Black Company Campaign Setting I created a high level wizard and alchemist, which I posted in the Rogues' Gallery here: Master Goldhand. I'd appreciate all feedback concerning errors I might have made, be they mechanical or not. Suggestions about other...

This is formulated in a very confusing way. In fact I have no idea, what you're trying to say ... ?

Master Goldhand Our captain has had this rule before I even joined: Meet the employer and take his measure. The real one. In person. For a small band like hours, more suited to shady jobs than to war like the real companies, this often meant lost opportunities, but I daresay it also saved our...

The souls of the dead are claimed by their gods, if they were fervent worshippers, or simply enter a state of metaphysical decomposition until they rejoin the primordial chaos. There are some cthulhuesque entities holding dominion over certain areas and consuming the spirits of those unfortunate...

You see before you ... Darth Structor!

Not having much previous experience it took me a full hour to make up a new psion character at level three. Long enough. Using unfamiliar additions (Black Company CS) I spent more than four hours on the mechanical part of a 17th level character - and as magic items are Rare with capital 'r' in...

For the first time this year it was moderately warm (like 15°C) today AND the sun shone at the same time. Ahhh, it's good ... :)

Dark Side, no discussion. My temper is explosive and I'm a sucker for the easy way to power. Might have to work on that long-term preservation of hate, though. Oh yes, and force lightning is much cooler than ... well, anything else. :)

I might have overlooked it in this thread so far, but ... Roger Zelazny's Amber books are also a classic and much recommended. And of course I have to second Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen as I can't miss an opportunity to spread the word ;)

It is not not the distilled plot of a book (/movie/drama/holovid/stimsim/...), not the basic theme, which makes it something 'new' or worth reading. It's how it is composed from thoughts and ideas, old and sometimes new, it's the combination of factors, the author's mastery of his medium, that...

Though its 'first book' nature shows at some points, I very much enjoyed it after I'd gotten past the first 300 or so pages (which was how long it took me to get into it). There's certainly a lot of interesting ideas in it and - which is a nice touch - it's no trilogy despite being enough for an...

I really like the 'ancient hero comes back to right a big wrong' idea. If power is an issue, well shades are not really in a position to fight, though they may have great insight into the workings of the underworld or diplomatic abilities. And if he wants to cross over on the way back with the...

It will be a delight, I'm sure. (Now where was that one-way portal people talked about the other day? Now might be a good time for some exploration ...) And you still have *reply* #666, so not all is lost. Or maybe I shouldn't have said that, considering the unclear ownership situation of my...
