Which is a good thing, because there is nothing as discouraging as showing upto an event (any event) only to find you are completely useless at everything. I see you want to retain your old players by allowing them to continue to level, but its new player retention that you should be looking at...

Quite true. But it is pretty expensive. Off the top of my head, i think it's about 45 production points. A little too expensive to use purely for giggles (at least at lower levels). -M

That what i meant when i said PVP. I could see one pc dosing another pc as a means to get information, stop some one from getting in your way, or for a plethora of other reasons. Oh well. -M

If i were to play a trickster i would have to work on the principle that "turn about is fair play" -M

I can think of roleplaying reasons to use it (no lethal answer to potential PVP) & i can think of comedy reasons to use it (mainly because its so darn funny), but now you mention it i could just see how badly someone who is manipulative could use this to his own benefit (manipulating IG...

I could just imagine the anarchy if someone dosed everybodies food with it at dinner :lol: . Now that would be roleplaying like you had never seen it before. Thanks to Laguna Hallik for pointing me towards the newletters, i hadn't considered that. Thank you to everyone else who shared there...

Thanks for the roleplaying input guys. I prefer anecdotes from people who have seen it happen or had it happen to them rather then straight up rules , if only because one is living information while the other is just data. If anyone else has had it happen to them i would be interested in how you...

Yeah, its not really an option at the moment. People here are too lazy to contribute to start with & i'm stuck working every weekend (no rest for the wicked i suppose). Thats why i'm looking to do some travel in the USA for a month or two. Stop in at a chapter or two of Alliance, maybe hit a...

I'm looking to play late next year (damn me for being born into a country without Alliance) & i was looking at the alchemy items in your newest rulebook (thank you amazon.com) & i spotted Love Potion #9. As a fan of "roleplaying objects" like that, i was wondering how may of you have come under...

Just out of curiosity, If the worst were to happen and your character died permanently, what would you create as a new character? Is there something specific you would like to try next, maybe something special you've had your mind set on, but you don't want to retire your current character. -M

Nope, not five. seems like it should be but it isn't. It is a pattern, but the answer is not Five

This one sounds like its trying to be metaphysical but the answer is "and" I have one for you. A group of 3 cultists, comes to their secret covenant & the guardian beast says. I shall ask you each a question. If you truly are followers of the dark path, you shall already know the answer. If...

Even better, let the friend be some poor villager who has this power of rifting but no understanding of how or why. The bad guy keeps her (or him, i'm not sexist) on a magical chain that he uses to control the rifting. Just a thought. -M

parting seas, raising people from the grave, healing the sick & blind. Not to mention that whole slaying of the first born son of an entire country or Animated Golems constructed using Jewish "MAGIC". To think that people thought D&D was warping the youth of the 80's. :lol:

Thank you for Blackmoor. you shall be missed
