Elemental magic

[Terquem]

At home I have a folder with old photocopies of a three part article that appeared in Different Worlds magazine which describe a set of spells for several different kinds of elemental categories. The article and rules were meant to be compatible with 1e or older D&D, but I really loved them and tried to adapt them to my TFT:ITL setting

Would anyone be interested in a group think effort to revisit those spell categories and try to adapt those spells to the game now?

I really liked the idea of spell casters who focused on a "theme" for their spells and these spell lists really connected to that concept.

I’m sure that with help I can do a better job than I did when I was fifteen.

Hi Terquem,
I you would like to email me a first draft of your rules, I would be happy to comment on them if you like. Contact me in a PM if you wish.

Warm regards, Rick.

I'm happy to pitch in...

Speciality Mages. I remember it well.

I'd also be happy to pitch in; I've messed with a few different ways of encouraging wizards to specialize and even had the opportunity to playtest one or two (which led to a fun and memorable fire mage, and a scarily overpowered "control" mage).

Those files are all on my old hard drive, but I can dig them up easily enough if there's interest.

I'm going to start posting ideas today - being careful not to take too many liberties with Mike's original articles. The first thing I hope to do, going to do some off line brain storming, is try to define what a "Specialty Mage" looks like from a core character creation process under the old rules, then I'll start brainstorming spell categories/powers/costs

I'll be back in a bit
