Pyramid #3/19: You know the trade, clerics, here are the tools.
 

The link already appeared in my wishlist, meaning that it won't be long until I get my grubby hands on it...

Pyramid #3/19: Tools of the Trade - Clerics

I eagerly away it.

EDIT: Now, that Fox no longer works for SJGames, I wonder who will be charged with e23...

Re: Pyramid #3/19: You know the trade, clerics, here are the tools.
 

Aw no! The Fox is gone? I must have missed that!

Where can you possibly go after working for SJG? What's next and better? Is he working in a chocolate factory staffed entirely by lingerie models where he gets to drive around in his own to scale dalek?

Bugger. I hope it was an amicable separation, and that The Fox has gone on to a nice dream-job...

Re: Pyramid #3/19: You know the trade, clerics, here are the tools.
 

Wait.....What Fox is gone?

Glad to see I wasn't the only one that was surprised at the statement in the broken book binding thread...

Going to miss those really odd product announcements...hopefully the new person has a sense of humor!

I don't think anyone's stepped into the vacuum of doing official e23 forum posts when something new is released. I'd be tempted to say whoever gets to it first each Thursday gets the honor of making the new official thread...

Anyway, Pyramid #3/19 is out! Just downloaded my own copy mere minutes ago. And I must say, this issue is far more diverse than I was expecting for the theme. I figured we'd just have a bunch of holy powers, some new spells, and maybe rules for fruit-flavored, sparkling holy water -- but instead there's:

• A universal, but very DF-friendly, selection of MMORPG-style "clerical aurs", where the holy man "buffs" his nearby friends or "debuffs" his nearby enemies.
• A look at the practice of "sin-eating" and ideas for building a campaign around it or just adding it for flavor.
• The requisite list of new holy artifacts, but some very interesting ones tied to the concepts of congregation, faith, and communion.
• A simple look at the concept and organization of the Templars -- sort of a sourcebook on 'em condensed down to a couple of pages.
• Guidelines for running shaman, not as actual empowered people, but as frauds and tricksters who do it all for a good cause.
• A timeline and rules for the ability to claim sanctuary of clergy, for historical games.
• And the usual selection of editorial extras, including a game aid that ties back to a previous issue.

Now, if you'll pardon the sales-pitch-nature of the above, I think you'll see what I mean. Really diverse stuff for what I honestly thought would be a pretty narrow topic.

I don't really have a sense of humor... well... maybe an odd one.


And just as Rev. Pee Kitty has said.

Pyramid #3/19 is out!

Odd is good...or at least that's what I keep telling myself. ;)

I thought I heard an echo...

It seemed a little odd that the placeholder link was there so early, but NHNF *g* I only just started it, but I liked Ten's Auras article.

Thanks. It was sort of a gamble, really. My previous article arose from my campaign notes, but this one was written specifically for the magazine. Also, like Psionic Powers, this article really adds very little extra rules, but shows how to combine the existing ones to get the desired effect.
