renau1g's Fort Belurian Adventure [Pathfinder] - OOC

Or, I would guess, with new life and new civilizations?

They've actually had some AMAZING success in the 'new life' department! (She's a cutie, too!)

LOL. Not quite what I meant, but I guess that works!

I thank you, Darling thanks you, and Caroline thanks you!

She's not so new anymore, though - now a Kindergarten graduate, and can't decide if she wants to be a double naught spy or President of the United States when she grows up. Actually, her current preference is to be a ballet dancing Veterinarian, with a sideline as a mermaid who teaches 2 years olds to swim in her spare time.

I wonder if there's enough money in that to take care of her parents in their dotage?

And that assumes that she does not fall victim to the wily Jasper Depew who squanders her fortune before mom and pop have a reasonable chance to do the same. I have faith in her, though. She's pretty together for a five-year-old! (Or is she a kindergarten prodigy who gradeeated at 4 y.o.??)

BTW, I can say Darlin's real name, I just can't spell it for shux!

It's a shame that game had to end. I would have been interested to see how it performed at higher levels. And what makes you think that the system would break down at high levels? I don't see that much diference between your system and the RAW (see? I can too still learn new tricks!), but then maybe you think those break down at higher levels, too?

Yeah I was disappointed as well, but that's life. My biggest concern was that once you could cast, say 5th level spells, it would let someone "go nova" as the saying goes and use their lower-level spells to power a fewer, more potent higher level ones.

I'm not sure it breaks down, but I was nervous as the guy playing the sorceror really liked to Power game, although he wasn't very good at it, luckily.

Not sure I'm getting how low-level spells can "power" higher level spells. You had a house rule that two thirds can make a sixth, or what?

Magic points. By not expending them on lower level spells, that gives the PC more high level spells per day than is allowable by RAW. My "spell point" system had the same issue when I tried it. Of course, that simple allowed it to work more like the psionics rules, which I thought made more sense anyway.

I do love world building, but I have to say there is an appeal in the common understanding and lower time investment of published worlds. I still think the best answer is to have one of my worlds published. I keep expecting Leif to get us a deal on the work we did for our Constables game.

Cool! Scotley, Mowgli, think we should maybe experiment with that in the Whirtlestaff's game?

You guys have definitely put a lot of work into your Constables game. I likes it!
