I thought you raised some good points. Completely agree. Concur. One of the real risks of a Great Quest is that you'll fail. Considering exactly what the nature of the Quest is, I agree. I think of Gawain and the Green Knight. Fear leads to awe leads to the difficulties of survival, leads...

I could care less either way. I never hide what I do, nor do I suppress it. Nor do I give a flying rainbow carp what anyone alive thinks of my activities, interests, and opinions as long as I am not actively harming someone. Nor do I care what others do or think as long as they aren't...

I found this to be an interesting project: MediaShift Idea Lab . AP's Overview Will Try to Make Sense of Mountains of Data | PBS

In my opinion the elements listed below qualify as some of the components of what constitute a Great Quest. Not all are necessary for any one adventure (or to be more accurate series of adventures) to become a Quest, but most of these elements are common to Great Quests. ELEMENTS OF A...

A couple of years ago I started making my own beers, and spicing my wines and beers. Often following ancient spicing recipes. It's not as easy as it first seems but after a few months of experimentation I got good at it. And now others often ask me to spice their beers and wines. I hope no one...

I'm a big fan of Multi-functionalism. Be that real world technology, or imaginary magical items. I like items, devices, things, traps, inventions, communications and computing equipment, information systems, codes, ciphers, even monsters and characters that have multiple and sometimes...

This thread is for the detailing of Unusual or Unique Items in your Games, Settings, or Worlds. List items that you think might interest others. Below is my entry. It is from my setting and is also used for other purposes (other than game purposes), but I created it first as a game...

Here's to continuous improvement.

You know if Green Lantern ever got uppity with his ring then Superman could just throw the sun into him...

Storm, personally I think that frontier fortifications (Limes as the Romans would have called them, form which we get the word "limit") are usually the very best and most interesting types of fortifications, keeps, and outposts. They are along the frontiers so they are surrounded by danger...

You know WD, "intimidating" is also a very good term. It will be very interesting to see who will be more intimidating to evil, Batman or Superman, and in exactly what ways they will either balance each other out, or compete in this regard.

Thanks Hali. Not sure it's true, but I appreciate the compliment. And right back at'cha.

A Knight?s Quest for Humanity?By Scott Horton (Harper's Magazine) An extremely interesting article, to me, about a man's series of life-long Quests.

Many times I have designed interesting Quests for my players to undertake. A few times I've been on really interesting Quests as a player. This thread is for discussions about the Quest. What are some of the best and most interesting Quests your characters have ever been on? Best use...

I am absolutely with ya there. I don't do treasure the typical way either, though I don't do it your way. But it sounds like you've a pretty good solution for your setting.

Lately I have been listening to a series of lectures called Citadels of Power. About Castles, their construction, design, uses, etc. I've been enjoying it immensely. So I thought I'd start a thread on the Keep. The Castle, the stronghold, the personal base of operations. Many...

Maybe my real point about Superman was being misunderstood. Or I wasn't stating or defining it well. As for me I'm not talking about making Superman an anti-hero. Or dangerous (as in he will attack and harm you) to innocents, or even necessarily towards the good guys. I'm talking about...

A magic act. To answer the original inquiry. One that possibly includes both real magic (in game terms) and stage illusion designed to achieve criminal ends or to teach others how to use magic and "prepared illusion" to achieve criminal ends. I agree with many of the other ideas suggested...

In a strange twist of fate just three days ago I was partially attacked by a Ghost Bigfoot who had the hands, feet, and probably the hind-quarters of a UFO. (I can't be sure about the last part because I only saw him in profile. Maybe I just caught him answering the call of nature.) He...

If I had that many Dark Bars I'd be seriously fat. Unless of course you mean spreading it out over weeks instead of days. I could eat that many X-Light bars, no problem. If they were made of real bunny.
