Holy thread necromancy, Batman!

Obama was in office the last time this thing surfaced...

1. "Each W.P. provides combat training with a particular type of weapon. The result is hand to hand combat bonuses to strike and parry whenever that particular weapon is used." PFRPG Main Book , 59. Since PP bonuses are added to a character's hand-to-hand combat totals, a higher PP does af...

Most recently, the PCs either answered the same want ad (wanted: brave souls willing to travel.) or were all members of the same knightly order.

Braden Campbell

I gave the first section of a campaign a memorable end when the PC party had to fight a sunken ship brought to life by a "greater techtonic entity"... as well as the 60+ techtonically-animated former crew members.

Braden Campbell

Let's also not forget the "Two dozen ley lines and six nexus points" that all reside within the Forest of Enchantment...

Braden Campbell

ah-ha. Thanks

Braden Campbell

Can someone point me to a citation for the rumour that a hob-goblin shaman named Thisehra Tommara Toma is attempting to organize the goblins of the Old Kingdom Eastern Lowlands?

Thanks.

Braden Campbell

In preparation for an upcoming journey set in the Old kingdom, I would like to have at least a vague idea of where the various nexus points might be. We know that the four ley lines that run the OK Mountains give us nexuses (nexii ?) at: * point near Timiro in the southern Silver range * close to or...

Braden Campbell

I could use some suggestions on how to break their 6D6x10 MDC into SDC and Hit Points. (Was thinking firstly of dividing it in half... 3D6x10 in total... putting them on par with major demons).

Also, should they have a natural AR?

Braden Campbell

How does Joe Palladium know the difference between a display of psychic power and a wizardly effect? Why would one group more more feared/hated than the other?

Braden Campbell

One does not simply march into Mord... I mean, the Land of the Damned. And no one has a need to visit Baradur... I mean, The Citidel.

Braden Campbell

They actually look to me they could have been a single, small landmass at some distant point, that was broken apart... especially the eastern islands with all the ruins on them (Enry, Grimbor, Laird, and East Mnn).

Braden Campbell

Interesting thought re The Floenries: there's no mention of volcanoes (the Palladium world on the whole seems pretty tectonically dead) so they are 'continental shelf islands'? I only ask, because we'll need to guesstimate how deep the waters around the archipelago are, and where the ocean floor dro...

Braden Campbell

Coincidentally enough, I am working on this very thing. I'm just trying to figure out fair sizes for orc/ogre/goblin groups... from small scouting parties to larger raiding gangs. When did you need something by?

Braden Campbell

Floenry Isl

(but I'll take a basic old kingdom land sculpt too. i can fill it in as i go...)

Braden Campbell

Possible... but given his heroic status and OCCs (Scholar, wizard, summoner)... probably not the reason.

Braden Campbell

If you don't know who he is, i refer you to Old Ones, pg. 140 - he is the Commander of Ft Indo.

An elf, he has already lived 200 years longer than his kind normally should (800 years old and still looking good), and I was wondering what in the Palladium World might allow for such a thing?

Braden Campbell

Apparently, it never fell to a siege per se... a traitor opened the gates and the elves poured in and slaughtered everyone. The structure, however, remained intact to this day and is likely being used by barbarous subhumans.

Braden Campbell

I have managed to locate the Dwarven fortress of Tallspire , which, as we know, " the castle Tallspire was never captured, despite three separate sieges against it... the castle sustained minimal damage during the course of the war, and it is assumed that its remains are in reasonably good shap...

Braden Campbell

Yeeeaaars ago, I started to flesh out this time period under a project called "Fathers of the Nation." It was basically American Civil War... with lasers. \PM your email, and I will see if I can send you the ancient notes

Braden Campbell

Yeah, but a flock of thunderducks is just... hilarious.

Braden Campbell

The Emancipator is a product of runaway cold war one-upsmanship. Its existence is more important than its functionality.

Braden Campbell

I really did try to come up somewhat plausible super-high-tech...

Braden Campbell

"Fleets of the Three Galaxies" is the distillation of a Phase World campaign that I ran involving space opera, time travel, and a cosmic Cold War. It was probably my "biggest" in that sense.

Braden Campbell

Shifter can work with a few changes to skill selection; you are basically playing a visitor to palladium from somewhere else in the Megaverse.

Braden Campbell

Welcome to the hobby!

Braden Campbell

Only one that I'm aware of is the Citadel of the Sun, which sits atop Mt. Phi and is the place where the magi hang out (E.T. pg 110). There are 4 large port towns (if 50,000 people can still be considered a "town") but they are unnamed as of yet.

Braden Campbell

For your consideration: "There is a cluster of three ley line nexuses all within a quarter-mile of each other somewhere in the middle of the woodlands." Also - the capital of Rylan Province is Holyoak ... 1 "l" ...just some minor details. Western Empire , "Vequerrel Woodlan...

Braden Campbell

I'm curious what you base the key line lengths/locations on...

Braden Campbell

The naval flags of the Western empire are red with a black hound's head on them. Do we have any idea where that symbology comes from?

Braden Campbell

What do we think is the current state of the ancient Dwarven capital city?

Braden Campbell

Re: bathymetry... you and I have previously discussed how the Scarlet Sea might actually be quite shallow.

Braden Campbell

I forced a bot to play 1000 hours of RPGs and then come up a game setting of its own. Here is the result...

Braden Campbell

Never mind.... found my answer under the magic spell description rather than the priestly power. It will not affect a tectonic-powered corpse.

Good to know.

Braden Campbell

Skeleton/rotting corpse is animated by a tectonic entity.

Does "Turn Dead" affect it?

Braden Campbell

Our starships are safe again. But, for how long...?

Braden Campbell

Zandragal, dragon-god of war, is Anarchist. Zandragal also hates "the gods of darkness."

So - does a priest of Zandragal, get the powers of a Priest of Light, or of Dark?

Braden Campbell

Man, oh man... it was just a joke guys. I’m not on any side of the spectrum. I’m not even an American.

Just forget it...

Braden Campbell

":people are shallow and do not respond favorably to people they deem ugly or of poor personality."

Donald Trump got elected President. He clearly rolled 01% while having attributes of less than 16.

Braden Campbell

Since an MA of 16 only gives a person a 40% chance of causing trust/intimidation, a base percentage below that might be acceptable for "average Joes." You could either assign everyone a base 35% shot at puling it off... or continue the scale downwards by 5% until you hit a stat of 9 (5%) f...

Braden Campbell

1000-2000 gold to send a pigeon-o-gram (or, half of what a single-use scroll of it would cost)?

Still seems steep, but, it's a start.

Braden Campbell

... The main book map on pg 287 has a scale that puts Palladium at about 3000 miles wide, and 2500 North/South. That's about 7.5 million square miles. Or two million square miles smaller than North America. We also know from an FAQ that it's only 4 time zones wide... so, yeah, roughly North America...

Braden Campbell

Has there ever been established anywhere the cost of sending messages?

For example: how much does it cost to have a wizard or alchemist send a magic pigeon one ones behalf, or to send a written letter via guy-on-horseback?

Braden Campbell

Just run the whole setting in SDC. It works far better.

Braden Campbell

is Caer Itomas the biggest city in the world, then?

Braden Campbell

I'm betting that all that sealed compound contains are a bunch of skeletons from Elves and Dwarves who long-since murdered each other.

Braden Campbell

Hi all. While we can surmise that the Elven Empire was lead not by a single monarch by "the nine lords" (possibly the heads of nine ruling families)...we know for a fact that the Dwarves had a king. After the abandonment of the Old Kingdom, we likewise know that the Dwarves ended up (for t...

It's fantasy-esque, age-of-exploration Spain (or maybe Portugal) is my best feeling.

Braden Campbell

Not to rain on the parade, but... isn't book #2 enough?

Braden Campbell

Just wondering if a psychic sensitive could enter a crime scene, and use Object Read to gain a potential image of the persons involved from things like blood and body parts?
