I spent more time reading the comments than I did the actual submission, though both were entertaining. The sub is decent, but the awesome names take it up a notch. Not bad.

Good one to bring up, Val. But I noticed something very odd here... and not do to with the submission itself. Take a look at when this was last updated. I'm sure I'm not the only only one who sees something wrong with that.

It appears Manfred is some sort of time-traveller. Good job, Man.

Great BUMP, MJS! This is an awesome submission!

I agree with Axle, the tone really makes this sub. It was a fun little read; the kind I enjoy. This is another great little gem brought to the surface by the Daily Highlight.

Elemental Gems though... Harnessing the power of nature in a pretty rock. I really like that it isn't just a magical amplifier, it's affects nature. This either implies that the mages of the setting manipulate nature itself, or that this item is more intended for nature-themed spellcasters (Like Druidic or Shamanistic types). 

Too often we see Magic as a force that binds the world together, I think. This piece makes me see a world where Magic is a byproduct of the natural world. To make a flame grow, to increase the force of a previously gentle breeze, summoning storms, calling lightning strikes, altering river currents, rapid plant growth, and such.

Good stuff, this is.

Excellent! I have browsed past this submission on many occasions; and I am glad I finally took the time to read it. I agree with Ephe! this could spawn a very interesting city, with some great landmarks.

"You'll want to check-in at Sao's Place, in the Scissor District. Used to be the home of little Sao, now it is the inn of bold beginnings and heroic tales. You'll find it just past The Wrecked Tower, a fine place to get your sword sharpened by Crao, the master smithy." Go to Comment

I like the "Twinning" idea, but no time travel for me. Go to Comment

It looks like you put alot of effort into this, but im afraid time travel and such things have no place in any of my campains and i will not be using this. I also think you could have simplified some parts of the item. Go to Comment

That is true Captain, he has done alot of nice work here and I cant wait to see more. Go to Comment

Im pretty sure i covered everything. Let me know if you have any questions. Go to Comment

The Cult: A odd cult whos full plans are only known to high rank members.

Their Goals: To take over every plane all at once by building up followers on each plane. They sometimes trick people into joining by telling them the purpose is bringing peace to the universe.

Why a Wig: Who would suspect Wigs as being an evil, mutlti-planed Cults main way of keeping members informed? Not me or any of my PCs thats for sure.

How Many: A whole lot. One for every member of the cult who has been proven trustworthy. So they are not found as treasure, unless it in the possesion of a Cultist.

What sort of Cult: The Cult favors people with Psionic abilities but readily accepts people with high amounts of discipline (such as Monks). Others are accepted as their skills are needed.

Any more questions? Go to Comment

Im not sure if thats good or bad, but at least I made it make sense. Even if it is in an odd way.

Did i miss anything? Go to Comment

Since when are most Gnomes ugly? Go to Comment

Youll get a hang if it eventually, Dont worry...
But yeah the percentages are rather high and it would be nice if it had some kind of penalty as well, Such as: If someone in possesion of the sword does anything that can be considered Evil, they feel very guilty about it until they confront those that the wronged and fix the situation.
Overall I rather like the item but I doubt ill use it just because I wouldent want a PC to end up with it, my PCs get enough as it is.

...and is it just me or does it seem to be a recent trend to use names begining with the letter Z? Go to Comment

Hehehe... I knew i left out something...
But the real problem is that there are so many variations that could be used, I dont want to put them all. Try what i wrote and if it dosent seem enough add more penalties... hehehe... Go to Comment

No benefits at all?
An interesting idea, but im going to have to add some minor benefit. Or maybe more curses...
Im definetly going to use this one either way. hehehe... Go to Comment

Wow, ain't this a blast from the past. Muro's favorite as of 2006? I wonder if that still holds true. An enjoyable submission that, with a few tweaks, could lead to a very fun couple of encounters or story-lines.

Imagine a group of adventurers with the cursed boots being tailed by a flock of maniacal mallards hell bent on some bizarre revenge.

I would love to see an entire scenario written around this item. Classic! Go to Comment

This is the kind of item im not going to put in the game ahead of time, but if a PC wants to find someone to make one they can by all means do so.

...Or better yet I could have the PCs encounter a group of undead, little do they know one of they is a powerful necromancer. Its an interesting concept at the least. Go to Comment

Damn, the word interesting was sure used alot in these comments...
and i find that interesting. Go to Comment

For some odd reason (not a big problem) i cant edit or delete that last comment of mine, so just pretend its not there ok? Go to Comment

Heh heh heh... I just looked at the status and it says: Farmer.
I think thats hilarious! Go to Comment
