New Tool to Generate Settings

April 6, 2009 /

Instant Game is a neat utility that allows you to create a setting. It also does a lot more, but for now I like the setting possibilities.

For example, here's the one that gave me ideas for the Boston 1771 setting I mentioned earlier:

Boston 1770's, Realistic, Supers, War.

how's that for a neat setting. Maybe the sun will set on the empire, or maybe the revolution doesn't take very long or maybe...

Here's some others that I hope to explore this summer:

Stone Age, Heroic, Undead, Demon
Cloud City, Realistic, Underground Pariahs, Realm of the Gods
WWII, Suspense, Dragons, Ship
War, Gothic, High Magic, Street Gangs

and many many more.

Life is Crazy

April 4, 2009 /

Lots of ideas to post, but either no time or energy. Apnea is getting the best of me. By the time I sit down to write on Saturdays, I am pure-t exhausted.

However, Spring Break starts Monday and the Summer is always not very busy at work. I hope more posts as a result.

Until then, I don't know when I'll be here. I have finished 80% of Etherflow. I have a new idea for Boston 1770 and the dawn of Golden Age type superheroes.

No, I won't do the What If about Superman where he becomes King of England.

Two Things for Etherflow

March 30, 2009 /

peridot - this green gem is the only one found in meteorites. It's pretty rare on planets, but recently, there was been a rush to mine the asteroid belt. Large deposits of peridot are rumored to be there - some have found their weight in this precious gem.

This gem is precious because

  • it is the only gem found in the space between
  • it cannot be magically created
  • it cannot be created from protomatter in the ether.

The rush on the asteroid belt is bringing all kinds of new folks to the space between planets. Larger asteroids that have an atmosphere are springing up boom towns.

Unique Treasure:
Gold, platinum, and silver still have some value. It is particularly useful as currency on planets that do not have ether travel, yet.

One unique magical treasure item is the Gold of Many Faces.
Each coin in this chest is presumably from a different planet. Thousands and thousands of coins each have a different face on them. Each coin is unique.

Each coin also grants a boon or a curse to those that possess it. Regardless of effect, owning two or more coins negates their properties.

No one has assembled the entire treasure - it is scattered all over the etherverse, and more than likely, a few planes as well. It is rumored that assembling the entire treasure will grant its possessor limitless power.
