Well, I can see something in there but nothing happens until halfway through the conversation. I think if you took the idea out of it and made it into an article it would actually work.

As it is I don't think a chat copy and paste is an appropriate submission Pieh. There is too much nothingness and chatter in it to make it worth the read.... Take out the meat and edit it up though and you might have something. As it is though... Go to Comment

Please, cut out some parts of it, or warn that it is too long beforehand. Thanks. Go to Comment

uh, sorry. :)
I'll put a note about it being long. Go to Comment

Well im just going to leave it here and ignore it. I dont care enough about it to 'fix it up' I just thought I would share something I found funny. Thanks for the feedback. If you really think its not appropriate then you can delete it, Strolen. You have my permission ;) Go to Comment

I think that this would be good in the forums but not as a submission (unless you do as Strolen suggested). Go to Comment

I think that the conversation would loose a great deal of it's humor and charm if it was condensed into a single concise post. Would the FTZ's be as funny without the argument over the basis of their fur? I think it should go into a humor category. Eyebrow Smiley...Attack! Go to Comment

I think that it is posted as a humorous article, and I've seen much less funny 'funny' articles in Dragon, that there is really no point in it sitting in challenged status.

Update: Pieh - I'll let you choose if this gets back into the world - it will show as a new submission timewise it seems. Go to Comment

Maybe one could be trapped in an inland sea (loch ness monster style) and folks have always come to swim in the water there as it is known that it can help you solve your most desperate problems or give you the wisdom you need to do something great. Scholars and schools have grown up around the area to take advantage of the mystical "sea".

Unfortunately others return from the sea with a lobotomy. But such is the risk of true knowledge. Go to Comment

Pretty damn cool idea! Go to Comment

Well done.

Living history, I like that.

Basically what Dossta already said. Also, I like Lojcrelt as a new twist to the idea of an oracle. Go to Comment

I simply loved this piece.  The writing, the atmosphere -- it really makes me want to use it one day.  I can imagine a religion springing up around Lojcrelt, some sort of "cult of the universe" whose sages seek an audience with the Wisdom.  Too bad it sounds like they'd never return after achieving enlightenment.  Overall, a Teller's Stone sounds like a worthy quest goal and provides plenty of motivation to seek it out.  Once again, I tip my hat to you, sir!

That is a very interesting take on it. I've read the Potter books, seen the movies, I enjoyed them but I never really took it to the roleplay level. Elemental sorting is a very fun idea, and these familiar do fit in quite well with that. Great idea! Have some xp. Go to Comment

Nice little creatures.

I think that these are interesting from what I think is the intended perspective, traditional fantasy, but I think that they could also be really interesting in a more Harry Potter sort of setting. In the former, they offer some interesting ideas, but I think would mostly matter in their actions and bonuses.

In a game focusing more on wizards, though, I think that they could be pretty neat. Stonepal shenanigans, maybe tubs of water for people to put their Wet One's in when they're occupied. Getting an upgrade could be a big deal - you could even use the four elements as a sort of Hogwarts-style Sorting, actually.

From the perspective of somebody interested in familiars, I think that they're neat.

I really like this one, I can't believe nobody thought of it before. A simple concise write up. Go to Comment

A neat little bunch.

I can imagine the Mage of a low level party starting out with a stonepal, with the joker of the party occasionally making a switch here and there. That would have been what a previous set of players I had would do. You cannot have a game without a touch of humour!
