Things that make ya go hmmmm.... I have always wondered about the logistical and tactical value of gamedays, from a financial standpoint they never really held too much water. A good event should clear plenty of money at $50-$75 a head. The cost involved in gamedays usually didn't come from...

Anyone else get the feeling the Cylons in Battlestar are actually using the NERO resurrection system? LoL. "Darn you Starbuck, that's five beads in the bag. My programming is going to get glitchy one of these days..." In any case, it does bring up some of the same IG issues. Killing someone...

I agreed with Derek.... and I thought that I was arguementative Gregor. Haha, I agreed to this statement already. Its good to know we both feel the same way about one another.

I'm not trying to debate sections of short sentances or thoughts. I am however debating with you simply because I'd like to keep you from any form of agreement with me. After interactions with you, I'm not particularly interested in trying to justify your ideas of morality and ethics, and I'm...

Gregor, going through and addressing incomplete sections of an overall statement does not but highlight if you chop a tree into toothpicks, its no longer a tree. If you take a complete sentance or a complete thought apart, the smaller parts become of changed meaning. So no, necromancy is not a...

I'll go with Derek's assertation and also add some scholarly description as well- The ritual cast specifically dealt with spiritual affect, and required the use of items that were forged through death, decay, and entropy, as well as having the ability to place necromantic effects (cause wounds...

I was more concerned with a variety of more powerful necromantic items. For instance most of the items the town was handling a few weeks ago were of necromantic origin. Are such items considered necromantic? The ritual cast was also of necromantic origin, again- is it considered necromantic?

Full Battleboards have an active 'spell section' that you can cross out. For instance you may see something like this- Spell Shield- O O O O O (Starting off blank) Spell Shield- / O O O O (When you have it active, you line thru it once) Spell Shield- X O O O O (When it gets taken out by a...

- There are less issues with battleboarding, or mega sheet like tags ... but the important thing is that players need to interact with each other and skills must be consumed and it must be verifiable. So far we haven't found a system easier then "You threw a flamebolt at me, may I have a tag." A...

Since I may have to travel through these lands again at some time, is there a declaration of what creates a necromantic item? I was witness to a large number of them being carried around by a good portion of the town a short while ago, and they were collected and used in a ritual that several...

Well I am only traveling most of the time, but my friends and family are often moving things from here to there. The roads of every land are dangerous, but even in the course of Andar there are ways for a commoner to share burden of protecting themselves. No, I can't say. Much if nothing makes...

While a good idea in theory, both A and B would entirely depend on the specific players. An experienced player used to pulling his tags after each fight would also probably be fairly active at checking off a battleboard. I don't think there is really any test you could come up with to check...

I would also mention, while I do not have conflict with anyone in the nation of Andar, if you wear your uniform or heraldry on an adventure I would assume that you are acting in an official capacity for the government. Thusly, an adventurer may not want any official representive of the state...

I understand the issue, but I should say that most of what you are experiencing is from undue allocation of military resources. There are few reason to keep a military unit active in the region, and doing so has a costly drain on resources. For the state, there are two ways to pay for this-...

Yes B, but does Seth know you have to dance like a chicken when casting formals??? or did you leave that part out of his formal training? :D
