All Kinds of Fun!
Before a complete site rework, I wanted to mention a small rpg I saw advertised on a yahoo group.
Helix RPG appears to be a weird west setting that uses its own mechanic. The mechanic, as best I can tell, utilizes d12s and d6s. It’s still in beta testing.
Outside of that, I don’t know anything.
Someone on [...]
Two things really quickly:
What if werewolves and vampires were allergic to gold instead of silver.
What if, to fight the threat, alchemists created a liquid gold called alchemist gold. It’s like mercury, just gold.
(then, what if it is really sunlight that changes lycanthropes, and not the moon?

Gotta run, more later.
Latest update from Scott is that the GSL will likely be out late tomorrow.
With all this buildup, I certainly hope it is not an index to the first three books.
My interest, by the way, is not so much the game as how the GSL looks. Open gaming brought D&D back to profitability and generated a [...]
Ok. This is my destiny, I think.
The Monty Python RPG project.
Must ponder over the weekend while I’m out of town. This is just too great.
WARNING: Mnemosyne may be delayed.
I looked at the 4e books the other day in the store. They look very nice.
I was excited about seeing the 4e GSL and how that had changed, but ‘early next week’ has turned into ‘later next week’. I expect that will turn into ‘early next month’ and then ‘Sept 2008′.
The stickler, I believe, is [...]
As a result of work with BTRC materials, a couple major changes are coming.
Normal score for an attribute is changing from 3 to 4. This means that starting point pools will increase appropriately. Points for Skills remain the same. Normal skill level for any given skill remains 2.
Along with this, the STR table has been [...]
The excellent materials from Blacksburg Technical Research Center keep coming. After buying the older 3G3 product, I invested in the EABA Stuff! product. I like them both, though I must confess that I enjoy 3G3 more. (It has more math and more detail.) Both systems are compatible, so I use them both.
3G3 is being used [...]
Some time ago, the Blacksburg Tactical Research Center wrote an interesting game aid called Guns, Guns, Guns. The interesting thing was that this was a system designed to help the GM create consistent weapons of all kinds. Everything from swords to railguns are covered. Not only that, you can create weapons that are “ahead of [...]
So, I finally got most of MUSE up here, including the start of the Bestiary.
The mechanic has changed to a 1d6-1d6 type and a sixth vessel has been added.
What do you think of the only creature so far?
Off to camping for the weekend!
Sycarion Diversions is a sister site of pinakidion.*. pinakidion.* deals more with religious and writing topics. This site houses information on games. Specifically, this has information on card games, board games, and role-playing games. Card games and board games are a collaborative effort with my friend Jeff. Jeff has created and briefly marketed one board game and has idea for lots of others. Role-Playing Games are my bailiwick. I've been playing since I was 10 starting with the Mentzer Basic D&D box. I stopped playing in college, but recently renewed my love for RPGs. In 2005, I discovered the Action! System from Goldrush Games. Since then, I have also found Microlite20 and OpenD6. It's a good time to game.

Part of the reason for this is that rules for games cannot really be copyrighted. However, the main reason is that the value of this site is the community I am a part of.
