Federation-Apocalypse Session 63: Hidden Voyages

   The dinner with the Cardinals had some fairly intense undercurrents. After all, they pretty much considered Kevin a demon from the outer darkness – or at least a seriously misled young man who was recklessly using dark powers and was leading other youngsters into the same errors. He was semi-acceptable at best. The way [...]

Saelinnyth, Elven Fighter/Thief

   Well, while I’m getting the Legend of the Five Rings log caught up – it’s quite a few sessions behind – here’s another bit of nostalgia and an example for some of the players who are fooling around with making some second edition characters. It’s also an illustration of why Skills and Powers gave fighters [...]

Kitsune Shan

   Kitsune Shan was a minor character from a prequel adventure – however, he survived, and has come into play several times since then. Since he just got exposed to a version of the war-wiring technology that’s been magically modified to install itself, and has been scooped up by the Mandate (and thus has been [...]

Liam Ko

   For today, we’ll continue the conversion of Liam Ko to Eclipse Classless d20, so that he could be used in other campaigns. Lets start translating. .    Available Character Points: Disadvantages: Incompetent (Takes a -3 penalty on any attempt to employ the Bluff, Forgery, Gather Information, Innuendo, or Sense Motive, skills), Recorder, and Obligations [...]

Liam Ko

   For today, it’s the start of a character conversion – 3.0/3.5 Legends of High Fantasy d20 to Eclipse Classless d20. Since Eclipse covers all the basics easily, I’m going to take a character with some unusual variant classes to illustrate with.    Liam Ko was a Sorcerer-Priest from Cemar, a high-fantasy world where most [...]

Alien Cyborg Technology

   First up for today we have War-Wiring – the nanite-enhancement package that the Kragga are giving out. Please note that, while the characters may well regard it with deep suspicion, it certainly hasn’t been fully analyzed as of yet: the details are being made available for the convenience of the players.    Secondarily, here [...]

Comparative Kristianity

   For today and tomorrow, I’ll be posting two versions of Kristin Stanwell – a favorite character of one of the usual players – in both the d20 version (using the rules from Eclipse: The Codex Persona) and the Champions version.  Why? Because (1) the player likes both, (2) its interesting to compare the two, [...]

Khamsin the Wanderer

   Today we have a quick writeup for someone who was having trouble creating a point-buy spellcaster who buys spells independently, each with their own caster level. There are actually several ways to do this in the system, none of which I especially recommend in the long run: a character with a broader magical education [...]
