Welcome to the forum! Have an upvote! I wouldn't eat those cookies if I were you. As to whether or not we know for sure it's Hoid, we have this WoB: The only story told a bar is Rock's story about meeting "Lunu'anaki". Given that, and how accurately it matches Hoid's description, and given Sigzil's reaction to the description, I'd say there's not much doubt that it was indeed Hoid.

What's your policy on using Fabrials and similarly Invested technology? I assume something like a heating Fabrial be acceptable, but what about a Regrowth Fabrial? Or a Soulcasting Fabrial, which creates permanent changes in one's physical, and potentially Cognitive or Spiritual, nature?

Yeah, I figure with Aons you just convert them straight into spells, and drop any other casters. Unless you're adding other magics in, and then things start to get complicated. That said, I'd be more interested in DMing or playing in a campaign on Nalthis than Sel.

Just came across this. I probably won't have time this month, but I might join in starting in March or April.

It would just take more effort to customize everything, compared to AonDor, for example. But your description seems doable. Makes me really want to run a similar campaign with my own group.

This will probably fill up pretty fast, but if there happens to be an open seat, I'd be up for joining, assuming I don't end up being too busy. I'm kinda with Blaze on the question of which edition, honestly . I like 4e, despite how much hate it gets. As for where to set it, I think Nalthis would be really cool, but Awakening would be pretty hard to adapt.

Granted. Half your foot is visible for three seconds on a crowded street, after which you are spiked off-screen. I wish to have full access to Jezrien's Honorblade and the abilities associated with it for the next fifty years.

Doesn't sound like Parshendi to me. Parshendi have carapace, but no stone. Reminds me of someone who's used a Soulcasting fabrial over an extend period of time, actually.

Starting a thread for any new WoBs from the Salt Lake Fan-Experience this weekend. If anything stood out to you, whether it was your own question or one you heard, feel free to post it here. I'll start it off with one of my own. There you go. If you're add anything, make sure to include the phrasing of both the question and the answer as accurately as you can. Thanks!

I guess I can't do White Sand? That would give me so many more, though... 1. Arelon 2. Fjordell 3. Shinovar 4. The Final Empire 6. Rose Empire 7. Alethkar 8. Idris 9. Halladren 10. Shinovar 11. Southern Scadrial 12. MaiPon Does MaiPon count as a separate country? Hopefully that's good enough, cause I'm drawing a blank. There are several more obvious ones that I'm missing. List twenty individual planeswalkers from Magic: the Gathering. Individual planeswalkers, not planeswalker cards.

I think Utah makes sense, or at least somewhere close enough for traveling to be reasonably easy. A large percentage of the fandom live in Utah, so it'll be easier to get something going closer to home. Not to mention that's where Brandon lives.

1. Link - LoZ 2. Amaterasu - Okami 3. Chell - Portal 4. Samus Aran - Metroid (Not certain on that one) 5. Pac Man - Pac Man 6. Master Chief - Halo 7. Every LEGO video game character up until... LEGO Batman 2, I think? Give me twelve separate, famous quotes from the Princess Bride. (Movie)

In no particular order: 1. The TARDIS 2. The USS Enterprise 3. The Millennium Falcon 4. The Wind's Pleasure 5. Serenity 6. The Black Pearl 7. Argo 8. The Dawn Treader 9. The Jolly Roger 10. The Tantiv IV Wait... You're not talking about actual ships, are you?

Ah, I should've specified humanoids, but too late now. 1. Trenzalore 2. Raxicoricofallapatorias 3. Klom (Spelling? 4. Vulcan 5. New Earth 6. Last, but not least, Galifrey I guess I could also count Earth, but I've already got my six. EDIT: Ninja'd. I was worried that might happen.

1. Nigeria 2. North Korea 3. Norway 4. The Netherlands 5. New Zealand 6. New Guinea 7. Nicaragua Name twelve alien races that have appeared in Doctor Who, classic or reboot.

I got three... Almost four. So close! Let's see. Storm it. I got four now, but I had to look the name of the I am Legend zombies up, so I can't count those. Flood Skeletals (Do these count?) Lifeless Walkers Enfiri Do I need to add the references? EDIT: Here's the question. Without looking it up, name a eight Pixar villains, all from different movies.

Just curious, Cheese: How exactly did you become so familiar with details of the forum mechanics and culture before even joining? The Rank Zucchini, Spiked Cookies, signatures, Member Titles... You figured all of that out in the first day or so. I see to possibilities. Either you've been an extremely active Lurker, or you're actually a clone of a preexisting member.

Once you begin the path of the Zucchini, there is no going back. Welcome to the forum! Have some downvotes!

I love the "aging" concept. Super cool limitation that's built in there. And I love how it applies to everything, not just the magic user. It's not just, "use this magic, and it makes you old". And the way that it doesn't make you visually old makes sense. There might be certain signs, but wrinkles, gray hair, etc, wouldn't occur just because the cells are breaking down, so that makes sense. They're aging physically, but not visibly. Let us know if you ever write anything in this world! I'd love to read it.

This is kinda necroing my own topic, sorry about that. But I just realized that, while I must have read Haradion's most recent comment at some point, I actually came to the exact same conclusion independently, only to check back in here, and realize that he'd suggested it months ago! Basically what I've settled on for the color coordination is exactly what Haradion suggested. You have a set of "Ideal" colors. If your Ink is spot-on, your Imprint will last indefinitely. Slightly off, and it will last for a while, but eventually dissolve. Completely off, and it just fizzles out as you Imprint it. I think that's a fairly intuitive system that actually adds to the "cool" factor and also presents limitations in its own right. The color system I've got right now is this: Basic Ink = Black Directional Ink = Red Static Ink = Blue Bound Ink = Yellow Erasing Ink = White Retrieving Ink (Used to call back an item that has been stored through Reverse Imprinting) = Green In the case of the Bound, Erasing, and Retrieving Imprints, each must be linked to another object in some way. A Bound Imprint is attached to a physical object, an Erasing to another Imprint, and a Retrieving Imprint to a mental object, one stored within your mind. Erasing Imprints dissolve instantly after being Imprinted, taking with them the Imprint they were linked to. Retrieving Imprints create a space for the retrieved object to occupy. When Retrieving a Reverse Imprinted object, one sketches out a basic outline, of the object. Not really a replica, just a rough sketch of its dimensions, to form a space for it to occupy. That's why Erasing and Retrieving Imprints haven't been discovered yet. Whenever someone tries to Imprint with white ink, it just fizzles out. Same thing with Green, since Reverse Imprinting, which no one's ever attempted, is a prerequisite to Retrieving. EDIT: Oh, also. I recently had a thought on Static Imprints. Obviously they're linked to the planet. They stay motionless relative to the planet, otherwise they'd shoot into space at ridiculous speeds. The planet is the default reference. However, if someone realized that, they could probably tweak a Static Imprint so its motionlessness was instead relative to a different object, or even yourself. It doesn't have huge ramifications, but it does change some things.

Splinters can have their own "sub-intent", likely related to the Shard's original intent, but more specific. WoB:

Ah, that's right. I was thinking of the Golgari Duel Deck, which featured Dredge rather prominently if I recall correctly. But you're right, Dredge was Ravnica.

Dredge was Return to Ravnica, right? Usually set-specific mechanics will have reminder text, and if you're ever in doubt, you can Google the specific rulings. I believe Dredge basically says - Dredge [N] "If this card is in your graveyard and you would draw a card, you may instead put [N] cards from the top of your library into your graveyard and return this card to your hand". EDIT: (Adding this here, so I don't have to double post.) Blaze is right, Reach is at least six or seven years old.

Ah, interesting! Sounds like a really fun campaign.

Any update on this? I'm definitely planning to hang a copy on my wall, once it's finished!
