Maybe it is a gender thing, but I really like this. It is just plopable into a place. It includes bits of description that I don't have to make up. My only thing is that it is a little short. Go to Comment
I remember these guys from the Waunderer's game. Do you know how hard it is to find batteries for your walkman on an alternate world? These guys hooked me up a lot of times. They will sometimes even take your debit card. They will also carry messages home for you, for a price. It is handy to know the sign, if you are a traveller. If not, they are just wiley merchants with odd stuff in their stores. Go to Comment
The Seven Stars Society/ Organizations (Technical)
(World Wide)
You really are a Romantic Fantasy fan. However, these guys and gals can be used in all sorts of games. It would be great to put the clerics and the healers (some of which are clerics) at odds with each other. No more "instant automatic healing" for you. Now you have to choose your faction, Clerics or Stars. Go to Comment
I like the group. This organization could have factions, some of the political, maybe a religious one as well. That would make it more interesting.
What about bonded animals? That is an idea that might work for this. It is a magical place that they are containing, why not use magic to do it? Go to Comment
Points down for ripping of Red Caps from Ars Magica
That aside, I like this "postal organization". It serves a handy function that modern players take for granted. While it has no real place in a historical fantasy, in a general fantasy it works pretty well.
Where did they come from? Who started it? Go to Comment
I like this. They are the "good guys", yet they are inflexible and have all the makings of the Religious Right. They are heroic, yet flawed. How realistic.
The only bad thing. It plays upon the American South stereotypes. Maybe that is good for some people, but not for me. Go to Comment
