Oh, yeah. Faith and Philosophy. The two most confusing things on Earth (but I can't prove that, so that's a belief). "'I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, 'for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.' 'But,' says Man, 'the Babel fish proves you exist. It could not have...

What matters is not what's done, but how it's done. I'm not saying that magic can't do X. I'm saying that you must define how magic does X, and how exactly one gets it to do that. In essence, if X is your desired result, how does a +b =X? If a=c, does c +b=X? Why? If a cabal of wizards can't...

No, not really. You can add or change as many as you like, as long as you specify what you're adding or changing, and exactly how it ties in with or is capable of altering those that already exist. To use D&D as an example again, most notably Faerun, note that the "weave" is a rather complex...

Originally posted on WotC boards (please note that the posters I speak of are a minority): Hello and welcome to Mr. Author's class on fantasy and the speculative fiction genre. I have gone up and down these boards, as well as many others, and have come to the conclusion that many posters on...

Yes *shakes fist in air* I admit it! But I need vindication! And contructive criticism is always good! Ah...I did it, but I forgot the wet edges. I changed Koma's skin color. Is this what you mean? I also admit Waseer could be a little more round. And don't forget the elder horror from...

It took a while. I had many false starts, caffeinated beverages, and a lot of bad feelings, as well as some pacing sullenly wondering what to do, but it's done. I don't think it's that great. Not my best work, but then, nothing ever is. It's also a personal joke based upon something a friend...

I scribbled down the events and characters from the last campaign I ran, one I dubbed "The Inheritors." I was going to write a story around it, but I just have a lot of things to do. I've got the synopses of the campaign sessions, however, and I think I'll post them here for all to see and shake...

Re: Re: Nani? Right there. As for Mecha Crusade, it is pretty out there as far as rules go, but it does work. I've seen it work. And it works well. Hmmm......I liked GeneTech, sorta. Coulda used some more bizarre X-files type "just on the edge" light fantasy. Perhaps If I play up the...

My freaky manapunk setting has gone up over at http://members.fortunecity.com/aesca . Nothing much is up yet, but there'll be some game rule content up by the middle of February (One person doing all the work (art + text + bad coding)= slow updates). The latest update news is underneath the...

It is, actually. here we go. This was an idea, an attempt, really, to turn the Charismatic hero (from d20 Modern) into a fighting-type character. I'm not fully sure of how it'll work in a play, though. Before I try it out, anybody got any comments or thoughts? Punker Daemon "Huh? No, thanks...

I thnk I originally put this on the wrong board. Oh, well. This was an idea, an attempt, really, to turn the Charismatic hero (from d20 Modern) into a fighting-type character. I'm not fully sure of how it'll work in a play, though. Before I try it out, anybody got any comments or thoughts...

It is d20 Modern campaign related! I am no longer shamed! Thank you, Mister Man! *dances around in ecstatic glee* *Mr. Author realizes realizes that's quite disturbing, asks her to stop* I posted it below.

Woah, go back there a second! Mecha Crusade was a d20 Modern mini-game. "Requires the D20 Modern Core Rulebook to play" is a pretty big giveaway there. On another note, how is d20 Modern not set up to do science fiction? Isn't GeneTech science fiction?

I like ME. Because I know what's balanced for My game. Because I can control the spells the players know/have access to. Because I have situations in My game that may be different. And because I'm a pretty good writer.

I dunno. I'd kinda like to see a freaky manapunk type setting, where it's the modern day (around 20th century sometime), but not. With dungeons, weird monsters, magic is the norm, but with pseudo-modern technology. Not extremely dark and gritty like Shadowrun, but more fun, with swords and...

Yes, well, no one in America know the metric system off the top of their head. We were well on our way until Ronald "Kill the Bastards" Reagan got elected into office and didn't want this crazy foreigner talk in his country, no sir! Ah, and the errata is to 2/4/6. Mister Ryan said so, so...

Um, no. That's something entirely different. I'm a pretty prolific writer (I have about four settings that are almost complete). Talaka, my India setting, is much less whacked-out and more realistic. Aesca, on the other hand, is just weird. I didn't know how else to describe Aesca other than...

I'm using it for a 40/50s atomic age that never was manapunk setting reminescent of a cross between Dinotopia, Final Fantasy X, and The A-team.
