I need some help for a personal project I am working on. Basically, I need to know the Mayan myths for the end of the world. Now, i know there is a lot of crap out there dealing with the whole 2012 thing and how that means we are all doomed. In fact, that is part of the impetus behind this project. But, I do not want the new age bullshit that is ( Read more... )

Constructing Spells
A spell has four parts, its range, area of effect, duration, and effect/damage. All of these four parts must be built into a spell for it to work. This is where magic templates come in. Magic templates are used to build the basic form of the spell.

This is the last one for a couple days. With this post, everything is caught up with what I have posted to the other site. Whenever I post a new thread on RPG.net, I will mirror it here from now on.

Over the last two daus I have clocked about 12 hours (give or take) expanding the setting of New Earth. Much of it was spent mapping space. 216,000,000,000 light years of space, to be exact. Much of it is empty, as one would expect. Much that is not empty is still left vague. Even a lot of what is solidly described has enough left open for some fun ( Read more... )

So, after seeing "Lady in the Water" and reading some old comics from the "Marvel 2099" line, I have become inspired to work on New Earth again. I haven't made much in the way of new writing progress, but have tweaked with the layout of the core book a bit more. I't looking pretty again ( Read more... )

Finally managed to get something written. Sort of. I had a single piece of fiction I needed for my game. It had been assigned to a friend, but he was unable to formulate a complete story. Which I understand. I myself was having difficulty with the story. So, I looked at the tiny bits my friend had started. Which were very good. And very similar, ( Read more... )
