* You can’t make something out of nothing, or nothing out of something (mass is conserved) * Magic comes from below and returns to below. * There’s always a downward pull when using magic. * Using magic to fly is impossible; it always goes down. – eli -39 B

This is a collection of resources I've written or found over the years. While a lot of this is oriented towards D&D, much is applicable to any role-playing game or fantasy world. Anything here that is not credited can be assumed to be copyright – eli -38 B

Principles of Magic

The City

We live in a huge megacity, which extends for hundreds of miles in every direction, as well as down below the surface, up into the sky and beyond. The rest of the world, as far as we know, is nothing but strip mines and toxic wasteland, with immense, solar-powered farming towers peppering (and polluting) the landscape. – eli +1 B

By the DM, 2017-10-18

Skills were one of my favorite parts of D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder. They remain one of my favorite parts of D&D 5. Like in every edition of D&D, rogues and bards are the skill masters, but who is better? – eli +38 B
2022-07-04 13:08 Four rules for conduct at the gaming tableplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigFour rules for conduct at the gaming table

* No Selfishness. The table is here to have fun together. Grabbing all loot for yourself, PVPing for no purpose other than bloodlust, trying to get the party hurt or killed, and any other form of “fun vampirism – eli +16 B

Eion O'Shanessey

Pronounced “Owen.” Goes by “O” or “The O.”

Life Before Shadow

In Apex, Eion was a chemist, specializing in performance-enhancing drugs. He lived in a rented apartment (a penthouse, like every apartment in Apex), which was a front for his operation. Business was booming, but he was caught dealing with unsavory magical sorts. – eli +439 B
2022-05-27 20:49 Sinkholeplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigSinkhole

The 40,000 or so people living in Sinkhole lives along the highway separating the district from Landing to the northwest, Market and the Upper and Lower Slopes to the north and the West Park Woods to the west. The district is noted for its foul-smelling air, and downward-sloping muddy terrain, soft as quicksand in places, and dotted with tunnels leading down into the City Below. – eli +494 B
2022-05-27 19:19 Shadowplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigShadow

Shadow is the old city on the ground. It's a dark place, with the only external light coming from the few Apex floodlights that work and actually reach the ground.

Rumors about Shadow

2022-05-27 19:01 Landingplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigLanding

Landing is the central region of Shadow, where rockets used to take supplies up to Apex. These days, it's run down and very poor, with small pockets of closely-guarded wealth. There's no central market -- shops open up seemly at random, and most goods are made and sold from individual homes. Most people live and work in very old structures, which vary from 2-3 story tenements to tall residential towers, only the first few floors of which are still habitable. Newer construction is mostly… – created eli +7.3 KB

A very brief overview of the system

Narrative Dice

Whenever you have to roll (which isn’t all that often), you create a dice pool based on a characteristic, a relevant skill, the difficulty of the check and any circumstantial factors. Once you figure out what you rolled, you’ll have some combination of: – eli +15 B

Genesys is as heavy-weight as D&D. Read the rules and create a character if you want, or create a partial character (this online character sheet could help), or I’ll build one for you based on what you’re interested in playing.
