I love the style of this sub. I already decided to use the Oscillator magic-user sub-class in chat, but the details here take it up a notch. Very scholarly, in that wizard-y way. Footnotes are nice. Good stuff. Look forward to the tables. Can't wait to see what Moon has to say.

Ok, I'm not going to get into a debate with you over this in comments, even though I disagree on some points :)

You'll be happy to know though, that "...his daughters violated.." is the only time "i went there" in 65+ submissions.

That out of the way, i wanted a good reason for him to be crying inconsolably. You see, the farmer, not being a modern-day p***y-man, wouldn't be crying because someone ravaged his fields, or even if someone he loved was killed, necessarily. But his daughters being ravaged without him being able to do a darn thing about it, seemed apt and apropos in this case, for his intense sorrow and rage.

Thanks as always for the "overly deep" comment (:p), and I'm glad you like my world. You're welcome to come and play in Haracon, anytime you find yourself near NYC. Go to Comment

Tis' a worthy project. A catalogue of lycanthropy, starting with the grand-daddy of them all. The original were-wolf. I also like the distinction you provide for Lycan/Lycaon. Good amount of pertinent detail in this one! So this is Jim Butcher inspired.

Side-note #2 is very nice! I "feel" it. So this is the non-lycanthropic man-wolf. Its good, but it cries out for something beyond the "talisman must be worn". Something more about battling them or some tales of hexen-wolf hunting or something. But over-all i like it. A part of a set.

Dr. Lervolachi will now proceed to give us a few lessons in lycanthropy and on battling back its tide. Looking forward to the complete guide on were-wolves and were-wolf hunters

Thank you! (I am that random guest) Well, i was googling for inspiration, thinking something along the same lines this morning, but this is a lot better than what I had in mind. Whisker-Fungi!

I guess my first question is, can these fungi pass for an actual mustache upon close inspection?

I am picturing a gnomish stache-farm, where the wee whiskered ones, breed, raise, and sell the fungi.

I'll take 2 handle-bar ticklers and a doom-stache please (can also be used to drill into into someone's eyes.)

Good show, Agar! (cute name too, Nose Neighbor)

I thought it was just me :) I also had no idea what SAP refered to, and assumed it was my ignorance to rpg acronyms. Go to Comment

I thought this was a touching tale actually, and was surprised when the 'towers fell' as i read it. Very nice. Its also somehow allegorical, but i can't quite place my finger on the lesson learned. Beautiful story! Their deaths and incomparable talents will be mourned, i am sure, tragic as their passing was. (I can only imagine how many lives were lost that day.)

I can also see the Sidjirian architectural technique being taught in the future, despite the futility of it all. I can see neo-sidjirianism.

I have to use this somehow.

A new Decepticon rises! I will run him by my kids today, see what they think :)

But on a serious note, i like the format, his background, and of course the cherry...braggart.

Wow.

 

Once you're done with the foundation, brainstorming, format and logistics, I'd like to PLAY this game! :)

 

And once youre done with this, please consider...Thundercats, He-Man, Space Ghost, etc

I don't have any suggestions on how to improve it, but I can't help but agree with Echo. These are fun to write, and believe me, no one has more fun torturing PCs with weird, random effects than I do, but i dunno, ring/wand/potion/etc...they all seem to be just another version of randomness and an excuse to make a list. However, as you say, this is *your* version, so thumbs up. I guess the "take-away" i get from this, is reading through the effects and finding some "cool" ones, i haven't seen or encountered before. In that vein, I like #54, #46, #30 (gives me an idea for an npc :)), #17, and #11

technically, i'd have to say..."since GG gave us the wand of wonder". The deck of many things was a little more hard-core :)
