Interestingly enough, those hordes of orcs and goblins are probably acting as a check on the bigger, meaner, faster, stronger beasties as well (or at least providing them with an alternate food source).

I have not heard from you. Still busy, or are you having difficulties in reaching me?

That is a very powerful effect for the price. Also, how do you justify it? MI

I am interested. I have emailed you. MI

Dark Legacies Iron Heroes? MI

Without lessening the DC values for Evocation, you are far better off using your Aspect of Power. Even at full power, you are simply not throwing around enough damage to pull your weight against other Iron Heroes characters of your level, and you will run completely out of steam *for the day*...

GURPS Voodoo: The Shadow War is probably my favorite GURPS book, and I have a ton. It is, unfortunately, out of print. Spirits still has the magic system, though. MI

It scares me when some folks say there isn't a problem with the magic system. The *author* says there is a problem with it (or, rather, multiple problems). Here, I will make it easier: Iron Heroes Spellcasting Wiki Agreed. I seem to recall Mike saying he wanted to dump it, actually. MI

I like that idea. Have you ever read GURPS Voodoo: The Shadow War? It has a great magic system based upon spirits. GURPS Spirits has a similar one. I would not mind seeing something along these lines for Iron Heroes. Not me. The system did not fall far enough from the tree, as it were...

Agreed 100% on both. My first session was mostly filled with people asking questions about their characters, stunts, etc. Even by the fourth session, we are still getting our "sea legs" with the wide variety of stunts and skill challenges that are available. MI

I disagree strongly. The balance between the schools is utterly atrocious. Fortunately, the various modifications in the Spellcasting Wiki seem to handle "default Iron Heroes" magic pretty well, *and* throw in other spellcasting methods and styles to boot. I just wish there were more of us...

Weird. Well, here is the XLS version - the PDF is too big. MI

Absolutely. I thought the prime example was the magic system ;-) Bingo. I would like to add that it is not just playstyles, but also play *settings*. Some folks are using Iron Heroes as a post-Apocalyptic setting, some as an ancient setting, some as a Conan/Conanesque setting, and some as...

I just updated the character sheets, correcting a few minor errors. MI

Hmm. I just checked it, and accessed it with two other computers. It should be working. MI

Front Page: Light Encumbrance penalty should be "0" The first box next to "Active" should be labelled "Class" rather than "Natural" Back Page: "Magica" is listed twice, rather than "Magica" and "Mysticism". Everything is fixed now, MI

There are two minor problems with the character sheet - I will have them fixed on Tuesday. MI

Hmm. So far, I have been allowing it, and it has not caused any problems. Of course, it has gone into the calculations for my skill-based magic system, which is balanced at the top end with a min/max 18 Intelligence/Unearthly Ancestry/Skill Focus: Spellcraft build. What do you see as the...

Well, thanks. While I am at it, thanks for coming up with the system in the first place! I am looking forward to working with this system more. MI

As part of the The Iron Heroes/Elements of Magic Arcanist Fix Wiki, I have created some character sheets. They include an Elements of Magic spell sheet. They are available in both .PDF and .XLS format. MI
