[Hivemind] Igloos in July...Fact or Fiction?

[Skade]

Well, the Pulp Heros mini setting in Polyhedron was 41 pages or so, including art, and a ToC.

The chapters were:
Introduction
1) Sinister Origin of Doctor Prometheus (character origins, similar to background feats)
2) A Dame With Class (character creation proper, tons of classes)
3) A thousand Skills a Thousand kills (skills)
4) Feats of Daring in the Palace of Peril (feats)
5) into the pulp era (roleplaying guide and morefun stuff like quirks)
6) the deadliest equipment cmoney can buy (obvious)
7) Chasing the sky Wraith (vehicle rules including planes!)
8) The Discoveries and Powers of Prof> Prometeus (spells and psychic powers

We should do something similar, I think.

1) Misty Harbor (insert subtitle) - the intro, and a history of the place, and a flavor story
2) Details of the city like NPCs and locations.
3) Engineers and Explorers - character creation including any background feats if we want those, and new class(es)
4)_____________ - skills, feats or a list of which feats may not necessarily be appropriate (can't think of any myself, or that may work differntly with certain tech)
5) Rule sets like item creation and auction
6) adventure and story seeds.


Obviously the setting material, including the details chapter will fill the most, but we will have a hefty rule set addition, and also some character stuff.

Skade, Saire never came with that .zip of Burr stuff I sent you, did it? It ws hiding in the generic Geography file when I was making the .zip.

Wanna see Saire?

I'm at my vacation spot. I drove to Houston for a week. I brought the laptop. Technically, I could be online most anywhere I have a phone. I have a AOL subscription for just that purpose. I'm actually staying at a friends place at the moment, so I still have broadband.

Went to see my Astros play tonight (baseball, just in case) we kicked butt. 10-4 over the Rockies.

I like the reshuffle, but I think we should keep the shop in the same section as the sites. Its a little more fleshed out than some of the rest of that section, but it should't be an issue.

Now, I do think each of the sections should be seperated like chapters. I also am going to follow Boothbeys suggestion and make more books, and have a bookstore written up as well. Also an alchemist, a clothier (that one is going to be a little ...weird) and some other established places. I also think we need to have a few taverns listed, if nothing else, and some kind of unusual for DnD locale. In particular we need a theatre and a ballroom.

Also, I am typing up an alternate core class as we speak. I should post it, or email it to you in just a few minutes.

Allright sound like your on top of things in the locations part !
I am concentrating my efforts on the clock work rules. And I think I now have a working system on clockwork apparatus creation. I even added some new mechanisms, like : the automated scribe, the calculation engine and the ever present: Timepiece!!!
If you know of some devices that should be incorporated let me know.

What about the new sciences and Mistmancy?

The version I send round pretty much had that. ( I think )
You did get that one did you?

Skade, how was the game? It's too cold to go to a game up here. And they are the Mets and Yankees anyway.

It was great if you are an Astros fan. Tonight was Kent's first game with us, and he had the highest batting average of any active player on opening day! He hit a home run hist first at bat, which impressed the hell out of me.

We had an incredible 3rd inning, but we also had a few errors, and one really bad misfield in right field. It was a great game, and our section had some very nice female fans in it also. Too bad I don't live here any more.

Here's the story in case you're interested.

Skade, did you see my NINJAS in the Son of Portable Hole Full of Beer? I got a monk in a bear suit in there too

I was trying to think of a catchy way of saying something about science for 5. Maybe:

Progress and Process: An Exploration of the Age
This will start off with the sciences and mistmancy itself. We could also have the Music Boxes, clockworks and automatons here as I see them as all related, and the auctions in this chapter as well. Keep all the non character specific rules in one location.

Sorry Maldur--originally I was just goping to talk about teh Pulp Heros issue and then I tangeted.

I hope automatons are in the same section as mistmancy...they're the same thing

I like the sound of the chapter title. Let's do it.

I'm sorry I have not had a chance yet. I don't have my password for RPG.net handy so I did not download it yet. I could reset my password I guess. I saw the pics though, I just have to see to what nefarious use they were put.
