http://www.sycarion.com All Kinds of Fun! Sat, 30 Aug 2008 20:57:44 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en After a lot of work on the main site (pinakidion), I have now moved efforts here. I will clean up posts, create a regular schedule, and integrate a wiki and forums. More later. http://www.sycarion.com/site-rework-starts-in-september/ 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, ... http://www.sycarion.com/helix-rpg/ No kidding. The website is here. So far, negotiations for the teams is part-way finished. They are looking to have a 16 game season with no preseason. They are also incorporating a few changes similar to Canadian Football. Three point PAT from the 10 yard line, 4 point FGs from beyond ... http://www.sycarion.com/the-return-of-the-usfl/ Just a note to keep my place: The offensive dice are: Black die: 1-2-2-3-3-3 White die: 0-0-1-2-3-4 White die: 0-1-2-3-4-5 The defensive dice are: Red: 1-1-1-2-2-3 Green: 0-0-0-0-1-2 http://www.sycarion.com/paydirt-or-si-footbal-dice/ 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? http://www.sycarion.com/ideas-for-now/ http://btrc.wikidot.com/ Gotta run, more later. http://www.sycarion.com/eaba-contributions-site/ 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 ... http://www.sycarion.com/tomorrow/ 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. http://www.sycarion.com/do-you-have-cheddar/ 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 ... http://www.sycarion.com/late-wed-and-no-gsl/ 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, ... http://www.sycarion.com/mnemosyne-changes/
