Re: Blog: Worlds Beyond Earth
Invasion of the Hawfax
This is the first in a series of posts about the setting 'Invasion of the Hawfax'. Its a reasonably hard science set in the turmoil caused by peaceful arboreal aliens settling in the amazon in 1894. I hope you enjoy the setting.

When I clicked on the Invasion of the Hawfax link, I got a 404 not found message.

Re: Blog: Worlds Beyond Earth
Same here. Of course, I'm currently adventuring in that world, so I shouldn't be peeking anyway. :)

Re: Blog: Worlds Beyond Earth
Thank you for pointing that out. Its fixed now.
Edit: Rocket Man, if I had a problem with you reading it, it wouldn't be public. Go right ahead.

Re: Blog: Worlds Beyond Earth
Costs ER as a Cost Reduction
This is a system to build costs ER as a flat discount to your ability rather than as a percentage discount. It also allows for great flexibility in how long your ability last and in building custom ER pools. Its back up, because I don't think I'll be making it into a pyramid after all. I hope you find it useful, and feedback is particularly welcome on this one!

Re: Blog: Worlds Beyond Earth
This is *quite* clever, Eric. Not how I would have gone about it, but it works. The table is an utter mess and took me a few minutes to process, but still, very clever.

Re: Blog: Worlds Beyond Earth
Thank you very much. Any suggestions on how to make the table more readable?

Re: Blog: Worlds Beyond Earth
Maybe make it an image and upload the image? Clearer examples would help as well - I'd spell it out for monkeys on the first one you give for example.

Re: Blog: Worlds Beyond Earth
Looks fine to me, reading on a desktop.
I had to read the examples to get how you were doing the cost reduction. Maybe redo the opening bit to include a simple example. But frankly I like it a lot and wish you had published it in Pyramid.

Re: Blog: Worlds Beyond Earth
Death Magic as a Power
Dark Lords are famous for raising corpses, but they're just as famous for killing with dark magic and a thought. Or draining the life out of victims. Or using torture magic. This post expands the dark side of my magic as powers series. I hope you find in useful!
