Sometimes when people try … Continue reading This is Why I GM

“When in the course of Nonhuman Events…”
If a campaign goes on long enough the players involved will eventually get to the point that they will want to strike out on their own, apart from other sources of authority in the story, and establish their own domains. Whether these are truly independent of an NPC ruler such as a King or an … Continue reading “When in the course of Nonhuman Events…”
Clarifications on Warriors
The way that warriors are dealt with and defined by the different powers within Partum can vary tremendously. For the most part they all fit nicely within the definition of "fighters" in the Players Handbook. Apart from that loose categorization, though, there is a lot of leeway from one nation to another.
