Sycarion Diversions

As stated in an earlier post, it seemed best to have Lenga be its own language. Of course, using this language is optional when playing the game. However, it does add a certain element if it is done correctly.
The first thing that was easy to decide was that Lenga would not be Latin. It also [...]

In thinking about the design of magic and those that use magic for Lenga, much of my thoughts were fairly standard. I first imagined a person using magic casting a spell. Like many, my mental image is similar to recent Harry Potter® movies: a spellcaster thinks of the spell, waves a wand, says the magic [...]

I enjoy the Action! System for its simple Attribute+Skill+3d6 mode of resolving actions. It’s a pretty straightforward mechanic that tends to encourage the development of skills instead of increasing attribute scores.
