Fantastic Creations: May 18, 2012 Roundup

kjdavies May 18, 2012, 5:17 am May 18, 2012 2012-05 Fantastic Creations

I haven’t seen nearly the traffic for this RPG Blog Carnival: Fantastic Creations that I did for Fantastic Locations, so I’ve decided to do a mid-month roundup rather than weekly. Round-Up As with the Fantastic Locations roundups, presented in order of blog title and (approximately) date. Exchange of Realities Simple …

Fantastic Creations: Devising Fantastic Creations

kjdavies May 17, 2012, 10:19 pm August 7, 2012 2012-05 Fantastic Creations

I posted a few new magic items last week a couple weeks ago (I’ve been too busy to take part in the RPG Blog Carnival I’m hosting, how sad is that?), and got some favorable response to them. I thought people may be interested in how I devised them. The …

Fantastic Creations: Questions about Beobachten

kjdavies May 4, 2012, 12:15 pm May 4, 2012 2012-05 Fantastic Creations

Sean Holland asked a couple questions about Beobachten. From a comment on that post, Very interesting. But how does it “consume” the treasure? And is it lost forever or is it in some extra-dimesional horde? I think these are good questions, but I can’t really meaningfully answer them, for a …

Fantastic Creation: Kaiho-sha, the Liberator

kjdavies May 4, 2012, 5:10 am July 2, 2015 2012-05 Fantastic Creations

Another entry for the RPG Blog Carnival: Fantastic Creations. Kaiho-sha, the Liberator. I read a story a few years ago, where one of the supporting characters (a warrior and leader of men) had been enslaved. After being freed (rescued by an ally) he decided to take the chain that had …

Fantastic Creation: Palavirea, the Burning Green

kjdavies May 3, 2012, 5:18 am January 27, 2016 2012-05 Fantastic Creations

This is another Fantastic Creation I have had in mind for a while now, though somewhat simpler than Beobachten, the Dragon Watching. I have always liked the idea of wands, but the implementation in D&D has been generally lacking in my mind. Most of them time they are simply canned …

Fantastic Creation: Beobachten, the Dragon Watching

kjdavies May 2, 2012, 5:17 am May 25, 2016 2012-05 Fantastic Creations

For my first entry for the RPG Blog Carnival: Fantastic Creations, I decided to write up a magic sword that has been lurking in my mind for over a decade. I have long had the image of a sword with a pommel shaped like a dragon’s head. The sword can …

RPG Blog Carnival: Fantastic Creations

The agent looked around the Mages’ Faire, taking in the displays and the spectacles. The illusions, the charmed monsters, the gouts of flame and bursts of lightning. Of no use to him. As impressive as they were, he needed something less obvious, and more importantly, that did not require gifts …

RPG Blog Carnival: Fantastic Creations

kjdavies April 24, 2012, 7:41 am April 26, 2012 2012-05 Fantastic Creations

I almost forgot! I’ll be hosting the RPG Blog Carnival again, starting a week from now. The topic will be ‘Fantastic Creations’. Magic items, cyborgs, golems, sonic screwdrivers, how to make any of the above, what to do with them, and so on. I think it’ll be fun, and joining …

RPG Blog Carnival: Fantastic Locations — Roundup, Take 3

kjdavies February 4, 2012, 5:27 pm February 4, 2012 2012-01 Fantastic Locations

This is embarrassing. I feel bad about missing Simon’s post, but downright stupid for overlooking two of my own. Keith Davies — In My Campaign Fantastic Location: Rime Tower, Part 2 — Perspiration makes some decisions about what direction to go with this location and nails down some details. Fantastic …

RPG Blog Carnival: Fantastic Locations — Missed One!

kjdavies February 3, 2012, 9:59 pm February 3, 2012 2012-01 Fantastic Locations

I have been reviewing the carnival submissions and just realized I’d overlooked one.

My apologies, skyfullofdust, I didn’t see the pingback.

… and the sky full of dust

skyfullofdust provides some background on The City where the various groups he has been describing (including the Church of Consumption, the Church of Fleeting Dreams, and the Church of the Fleeting Light — all of which have, I think, been linked to in my Links of the Week). This post provides some context for those religions, they certainly appear to fit.
