Category: RPG Ideas and Projects (Page 13 of 42)

    From time to time, I've seen to blogosphere pose a question along these lines:

How would magic be different if the spells in D&D were based on something else.

For example, what if the spells were from The Fantasy Trip instead of Chainmail/OD&D?

So, using W&W, an OGL clone of The Fantasy Trip, I want to look at what that would look like for The Black Hack.

This may be a weekend project, but serves as a test of my workflow to bring crazy ideas into reality.

Once done, I have a module for my Black Hack system to add in not d&d spells.

    Left a project off the list from yesterday:

• Color Coded Magic

I have used the metaphor of colors to help me classify spells. It helps me with spells that seem like they belong to both schools. Seeing that a spell is Red and Blue helps me to identify a potential new school of magic, as opposed to the regular d20/PF names.

Anyway, still cranking away on that as well.

    It turns out that you can have Sicherman d8s. Skip to the end to see three possible Sicherman d8s.

Now I have to ask for blank d8s for Christmas. 🙂
