Vedron's Potion Shop: February 2014

http://vedronspotionshop.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Frustra laborant quotquot se calculationibus fatigant pro inventione quadraturae circuli. Sunday, February 9, 2014. Character Stats and Gen. I'm having a bout of insomnia so figured I'd throw something out there that has been rattling around on some notebook scraps for awhile. Basically it is a way to describe a character's core capabilities. Martial Arts / Physical Domain (Riding, Tilting, Fencing, Wrestling, Running, Leaping, Throwing or Archery). Mechanical Arts / Mental Domain ( Fabric Making,. Note ...

Vedron's Potion Shop: Class Roles: Quartets, the Trinity, and Duality

http://vedronspotionshop.blogspot.com/2013/09/class-roles-quartets-trinity-and-duality.html

Frustra laborant quotquot se calculationibus fatigant pro inventione quadraturae circuli. Monday, September 23, 2013. Class Roles: Quartets, the Trinity, and Duality. One of the topics I brainstormed on was the idea of character classes. A lot of my game design ideas are focused around character creation. Classes are an integral part of that, obviously. 1E AD&D was similar in that the core four roles were cleric, fighter, magic-user, and thief. In reality, you could often dispense with several of tho...

Vedron's Potion Shop: January 2012

http://vedronspotionshop.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Frustra laborant quotquot se calculationibus fatigant pro inventione quadraturae circuli. Thursday, January 12, 2012. Initiative and Decisions, Part 2. I recently wrote a post about initiative, throwing in some real world experiences. The question I left off on was how to translate this into a workable mechanic. Get a shot off. This upsets him long enough to let you make your second shot perfect. Here's a simple rule that would grab some of that idea:. However, subtraction is always harder than addition,...

Vedron's Potion Shop: October 2013

http://vedronspotionshop.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

Frustra laborant quotquot se calculationibus fatigant pro inventione quadraturae circuli. Wednesday, October 9, 2013. Interesting Post on the "Trinity" vs. RPS. In my previous post I explored some class/role ideas. It turns out that Richard Bartle, of MUD fame, has a post. He goes on to explain that the "tank" role came from MUDs (early online RPGs) that lacked positional systems. Everyone was either in a room, or not in the room. Therefore, there was a need for aggro management: ergo, the tank. A 20-som...

Vedron's Potion Shop: December 2013

http://vedronspotionshop.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Frustra laborant quotquot se calculationibus fatigant pro inventione quadraturae circuli. Thursday, December 26, 2013. I've lately been on an 18th century kick. The American Revolution, Napoleonic wars, etc. There are a few basic problems of scale associated with this era, though, for man-to-man adventuring. The most obvious is that of range. Here are some typical ranges for 18th century arms, rounded off for easy usage:. Musket: Point Blank 60 yards / Effective 120 yards / Max 240 yards. Finally, rates ...

Frustra laborant quotquot se calculationibus fatigant pro inventione quadraturae circuli. Tuesday, December 18, 2012. I don't normally intrude into the real world on this blog as that is not the intent. The events at Newtown elementary were shocking and obviously terrible. They hit close to home as I have close family members who work in elementary schools. I want more than anything to see effective solutions that reduce the threat of violence to kids and people who work in schools. I learned to turn ver...

Vedron's Potion Shop: More on Char Stats & Gen

http://vedronspotionshop.blogspot.com/2014/04/more-on-char-stats-gen.html

Frustra laborant quotquot se calculationibus fatigant pro inventione quadraturae circuli. Friday, April 11, 2014. More on Char Stats and Gen. Awhile ago I wrote about some char stats and gen methods I'd like to flesh out further. If you didn't realize, the four skills loosely relate to the four elements:. Mechanical Arts = Earth. Martial Arts = Air. Liberal Arts = Water. Sense = Fire (may rename this one "passion" or "faith" or "zeal"). 2) Did I pick an appropriate trinity? The second is harder. I wa...

Vedron's Potion Shop: May 2012

http://vedronspotionshop.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Frustra laborant quotquot se calculationibus fatigant pro inventione quadraturae circuli. Monday, May 7, 2012. In the past I've thought about a variant on "gluckhaus" or dominoes. Another thought occurred to me: what about monopoly tokens? After all, a standard monopoly set has nine. I wonder how they'd match up to the mechanical arts. As a refresher. The first three are the same or similar. The last four vary with some overlap. Vestiaria (tailoring, weaving). Architectura (architecture, masonry). Stoneh...
