First of all, I do think that it makes sense to talk about the general economic system in the game to some extent, because whatever we come up with for the Merchant's Guild has to be compatible with the system in the areas covered by the system (e.g. production items). For instance, if the...

Question: If you take advantage of this rule, do you still get the benefits of your craftsman skills (i.e., coin at logistics)?

So, to clarify: - If an enemy hits me with "5 Sleep" and I use a Resist Command, that will prevent the damage as well as the sleep effect. Correct? - If an enemy hits me with "5 Sleep" and I use a Bane Command, that will reflect both the 5 damage and the sleep effect back at the original user...

Thank you for the information. It appears, as I had suspected, that only very powerful, often evil beings are capable of making formal scrolls. Yet we find formal scrolls on enemies frequently - I have even found one on a lowly troll. Thus it is clear that either our enemies are in league with...

I definitely like this idea. You don't just want to be selling production items, since most of the consumable production items are potions and scrolls, which the Mages' and Healers' Guild have covered. The only reason people would need to buy, say, weapons and armor is if their old one was...

I think that this is a question that it might be a good idea to get guidance on from Plot. I recall that back when I was at the quest writers' workshop earlier this year, I presented a plot idea with a subtle clue (an NPC who claims to have been attacked by a necromancer, but whom the PCs can...

Thank you. Just to clarify, this is the only situation I've been in that involved witnesses disappearing in any way. (Note that, in this post and others, "disappearing" just means the authorities can't locate them, not necessarily that they were captured or killed.) The comment about "witness...

In the scenario that this happened in, the NPC involved was actually on the PCs side, and the PCs were escorting the NPC through a dungeon, and the NPC died midway through the dungeon. So the NPC didn't need to respawn in the first place.

The following is a situation that occurred to my character at recent events. I was involved in a plotline that involved collecting evidence left at murder scenes (for a murder that happened three days before the gather), based on descriptions by "witnesses" of where the murder scenes were and...

A couple questions about NPC armor: Question 1: On p.28 of the ARB, the following statement is made: "If the field says Must Wear Rep, the monster must wear actual armor and have an armor tag (which can be obtained as treasure) to get Armor Points." Is the intent here that a monster cannot...

As we know, we often find formal scrolls on enemies, yet we do not know how to make formal scrolls ourselves. Thus it behooves us to understand where the enemies are getting their formal scrolls, that perhaps we can cut them off at their source or learn how to make formal scrolls ourselves...

As for the number of goblin stamps that magic items cost: Times ever items are generally [10 GS * spell level * # times ever] Times per day items are generally [120 GS * spell level * # times per day] for an item that lasts one year. (Note that there are 17 adventuring days in a year - 2 each...

I have decided to present my work on the art and science of codebreaking at 4 bells on Saturday afternoon in Deepjug's Tavern. Anyone who is interested is welcome to attend. I will be discussing ciphers both simple and complex, and I will also be seeing if anyone has a interest in forming a...

Also, just to clarify, I'm not sure how this is handled in Oregon, but in the Denver chapter: IG, there is a "gathering of the nobles" in New Acarthia, the IG town in which most of the events take place, every month. Many of the PCs are actually traveling nobles who are based in other, nearby...

Is it considered metagaming to express make IG decisions based on/express IG knowledge of phenomena which exist in the game for OOG reasons, but the phenomenon itself is clearly observable by characters IG? What I mean by that is, something like the following examples: 1. At almost every...

Suppose that Alice throws a spell and hits Bob, and Bob doesn't hear what Alice said and so has to ask "What was that?" or something similar. This happens a lot in large field battles where it is very noisy because everyone is saying their calls. Something similar can happen if, let's say ...

We have seen in the past few months that the enemies of Acarthia have begun using ciphers to conceal their messages and have been securing their valuables behind devious and deadly puzzles. Thus, if we want to continue to fight our enemies, it behooves us to learn and share knowledge on how to...

I am interested in helping with the tournament. I would probably be most interested in being the time/record keeper.

I think what you put up on the web site wasn't the whole thing. I know that , for instance, there were the ciphers in the April and May 415 issues that aren't up on the web site.
