Shadeverda then will be placed as the 1st month, and the first part of the Season of Gestation.
Seems fitting since I figured Veldrin would want a month in the Season of Hibernation where it would be coldest and harshest.
Baxtra, the Season of Celebration I believe you wanted to have your sun in if you made one and possibly a month to?
Figured Allianda's month would be the month fulling into the season of Birth.

Also, if you two don't mind I would like to pick up archery, natural weapon combat, and Sword training as advanced concepts for a race I am going to make soon. I will happily trade Advance concept for advanced concept and do collaborations. I just figured the first two really fit a nature goddess like myself and sword fighting is to pay homage to the character that inspired the race I am about to create.
When you make armor and such I would also like to discuss having it for this race. But that is for later times.
| Muthadh Ealaidh |
Im good with you having Non-metal armors Baxtra. I found out not too long ago (when I was creating Muthadh's physical appearence actually) that Chitin is not simply what insect armored exoskeletons are made of but also that of many fruiting fungi. Chitin, as it turns out, is the term used for "a long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucamine" and is the main component of cells walls for fungi, exoskeletons for arthropods (crabs, lobsters, etc) and insects (among a bunch of other things). So most protections that my folks will use will be natural protections that you grow or conjure through innate ability like chitin natural armor or conjuring a windy forcefield respectively.
Alliandra, I might have need of natural weapon combat since the Male Wispi do not typically make use of manufactured weapons. Thankfully, the suite of Actions I paid for a couple of weeks ago has been mostly replenished so I could buy it now but I don't foresee having need of it until at least the Wisps are transformed. Let me know when you are grabbing it and with your permission, I would like to grab it at the same time.

I've been thinking about what the concept of weapon making would count towards in domains. I think it would count in the domains of War, Combat, Manufacturing (from assembling and duplicating), Hunting, Earth (from stone-shaping), Plant (from picking good wood and fibers), Fire (from hardening), and Art (from rosining and waxing). Am I thinking clearly enough to hit them all or did I miss some? or is there some dispute.
I see no issue with you picking up archery as I was heading for crossbows myself. My people are still using wood and stone weapons. I want them to have a Druidic/Aztec feel so I'm wanting to develop mystical obsidian and rune stone weapons, would this be a magical concept and would it be one or two?
| Baxtra Flairchild |
I think the month of Feralis in the season of Celebrations. When I build my sun I want it to be largest and brightest (and hottest) in my month. But I was hoping that I could coordinate with Muthadh to have the heat create/summon clouds and fuel thunderstorms in the sky and rain below to help the crops and cool the people thus giving a month of extremes, but not necessarily a month of destruction. Maybe it could be the month the continent clouds play Rugby?

I'm willing to collaborate on both Rebirth and Sword fighting. just let me know when you want to do it.
| GM Moshado |
Well right now Nunya has Rune Magic as a concept so you will have to talk with her.
I think those are fine though Art is kinda reaching. But I know a lot of decorative pieces exist.
Llieldasine actually have a metal allergy but they use a type of obsidian that is radioactive that most other creatures cant use because they are plants. Its green! Heh, umm. That should work, that will be the....7th month All of it is Celebration.

@Baxtra: Though I have claimed all of Ohren's creatures and his land, I have not taken Ohren's place as the god of air and wind. I am thinking on it and I have a few things pushing me towards the Air domain but honestly its only because I adopted (stole) most of Ohren's stuff.
So if you want to create weather patterns during your month, then go right ahead. I dont mind. Heh not like I can stop you from doing it if you really wanted to. Thanks for asking me about it though.

Don't mean to step on any toes as a player but the character will not think about it most of the time unless something slows her down. Hard to balance and I may appear as having lost what little of my mind that still exists.
| Muthadh Ealaidh |
@Baxtra: I can understand that. Keep in mind that you technically can do whatever you want, there are just consequences of your actions. If you want to mess around with stuff that belongs to another deity's domain, you can totally do that, they will just be aware of it. Depending on the deity they might be pissed off or they might not care. They might even approve of it. It all depends on the deity in question. If you over step your bounds, the same thing applies. If the deity in question does not approve of your actions, they can try and stop you with deity combat (which is the only method of forcing another deity to do anything currently). That being said, how much of an illusion the unpredictable nature of your deity will be is entirely up to you. The more discussion we have about it, the more we will have to put on that mask of illusion when dealing with your deity. We will have to pretend no discussion ever occurred, as if your actions were in fact truly unpredictable. There is a balance I think but you will have to find that balance because I havn't the faintest clue what that would be like.
@Alliandra: I would love to do some advanced concept trading though I dont have much to trade at the moment! I can develop a few once I iron out their details. I am a detail orientated guy and if I cannot describe the concept I am bringing forth then I cannot reasonably use it.
| GM Moshado |
Alright everyone. I have been working on a website that is easier for me to update over the Campaign Tab.
I will link it in this post and above in the description. This has some changes in the rules section. Specifically for concepts and the like. I am still going through abilities to adjust some but these are good to start. I have also changed how Alchemization of concepts are paid for. Nunya, this means you will be getting points back.
I hope you all enjoy it and if you want me to flesh out something your created please tell me. I will be trying to keep it updated once a week.

@Alliandra: Below are a few ideas that I will be spending points on fairly soon. They will need a bit tweaking before I will post them officially but you can get the idea from these rough drafts.
Ultimately, I am trying to go for the Symbiosis Domain if I can. Symbiosis is a term used nowadays for a slightly more specific set of relationships between creatures but it used to be far more generalized and would be used as an umbrella term to describe all relationships = be it for people or otherwise. Symbiosis includes Mutualism (beneficial for both) Parasitism (beneficial to one, harmful to the other), and Commensalism (benefits one but doesn't harm or help the other). I plan on trying to play with those themes in the future but most of the ideas I want to use require that they have some kind of interaction with another creature.
@Alliandra: Also, I have yet to figure out a name for the insect creatures you gave me but I did come up with an idea to "alchemize" them with your Lliedesine to "create" a new race. I am trying to avoid simply creating new races out of no where (I kinda don't have a choice for creating planes or stars though). I want their origins to come from already existing sources if I can. I... also haven't figured out a name for this race idea either... but I do know that they will be kinda the opposite of the Wispi in that they are not very magical but rather very grounded and logical. They are insect like with a pseudo - hive mind mentality and a knack for manufacture and sciences.
Create magical concept:
Create Magical Concept:
Alchemize concept:
Create advanced concept:
Mundane concept:
| Muthadh Ealaidh |
@Baxtra: You go ahead and take it. As it is, all I can do at the moment is buy and then sit on these concepts. I cant use them really until the Wisps are transformed.
Is alchemy taken? It is another one I am planning on taking... and its theme of combining stuff fits the Symbiosis theme I am trying to build to.
| Muthadh Ealaidh |
Alrighty folks. The next suite of actions is coming up. Please give the list a look through and see if there is anything that you were already planning on using or if I am taking a concept that has already been taken by someone else.
Furthermore, no one has taken Magic: Illusion so I will be taking that. With that 3 AP cost, that will be a total of 16 AP which is everything I have. FUN!
| GM Moshado |
Alright, I need to decide how to grandfather concepts. Specifically Magical ones.
Nunya your Runic Magic you get points back on.
With the new ways I have done magical concepts everyone must pick a "root" legendary magic where it is based off of. Be it Divine, Arcane, Nature ect. Mind you you don't have to create the legendary to use it as a root. It just means it follows those basic rules. Like for Divine it comes from worship of a god.
I was thinking to allow everyone to pick two Legendary magics to attach it too. That way you are getting two for free over the basic on.
Second choice is to grandfather all concepts in as under EVERY Legendary Concept currently created.
I leave the choice to you as players and mods.
Also Muthadh, I think Shadow Stuff Classifies as a Magical Concept if you look under oricalcum and such. Since it could be classified as a "rare and highly sought after" material. Since it can punch through non magical armors and such.
So you would need to create it. Like I did with Iridesium.
| Allianda The Great Mother |
I also would like some of those concepts Muthadh.
I also plan on coming up with Conjuration, Transmutation, Abjuration, and Teleportation magics.
Most likely in this order.
Abjuration
Transmutation
Conjuration
Teleportation
I've got to wait to get the points but that is a plan. Go into more detail later.
I have a race I have been stewing on a while and I think I am ready to make them also. So yeah, need more points.
| Muthadh Ealaidh |
Shadowstuff is its own tricky concept. Technically, it was created when the Nexus of Shadow was created along with the Legendary Concept of Shadow Magic. I could make it magical concept, but the fact is, it already exists. There would be no Nexus of Shadow OR Shadow Magic without it. Using any of the schools of Shadow Magic could not be done without it either.
However, I can agree that the ability to USE the Shadowstuff in NON-magical ways could qualify as a magical concept.
That will drive up costs but I totally forgot that being a part of a pantheon gave me a few more points to use. so I can still afford it I think.
@Alliandra: what concepts are you looking for? I am trying to go for the Symbiosis Domain so I am trying to link my concepts with that.
@Baxtra: Sure, I have no problem with you using it. Can I use your Trap concept to alchemize something later on? When I have the points again...
| GM Moshado |
What type of bonus's are you looking for with the bloodline things?
Also Muthadh, I would like Domesticate, Train, and Organic architecture and scavenge.
Basically Organic Architecture, Domesticate and Train will be for two current races. Scavenge for the Race under ground.
So basically for 2 races.
| Muthadh Ealaidh |
Alright, here is the list again with the one change in cost for magic illusion. With the cost being 17, I know I can barely afford it thanks to being in a pantheon... I just dont remember if we are getting 1 AP or 2 AP yet. Either way, I will be posting and locking these in. I am plenty happy with sharing and trading some of these. Just let me know which ones and I can give your race a "blessing" in the form of gypsies~! Among them will be Lore Keepers with the knowledge of the concepts that you seek, and being gypsies themselves, they are okay with taking IOUs!
Create Mundane Concept: Pastoralism: 1 AP
Create Mundane Concept: Peripatetic Minorities: 1 AP
Create Mundane Concept: Domesticate Monster: 1 AP
Form order: Lorekeepers: 2 AP
Create mundane concept: Organic Architecture: 1 AP
Create Advanced Concept: Train Monsters: 2 AP
create advanced concept: Harvest Shadowstuff: 3 AP
Create advanced concept: Shadowstuff Wagons: 2 AP
create mundane concept: Scavenge: 1 AP
Adopt Magical concept: Illusion magic: Shadow 3 AP
17 AP total cost.
| Muthadh Ealaidh |
Yeah pretty much. Once you have hit legendary, there really isnt much higher to go. To be honest, if you have a legendary collossal titan and a legendary tiny fae, as far as capabilities, stats, and competitiveness goes, they are completely equal. A hero would be your best bet... speaking of which, I plan on spicing things up a bit by creating concepts that the races must EARN rather than simply get by proxy of being your creation. As such I need heroes to go and quest for them. IF ya want, we can see about throwing in a hero or two in some quest for knowledge and power.
| GM Moshado |
I would say the cost difference. If you are elevating them or lowering them you can change them. Like the Fair Folk are a Legendary race. No need to spend points to change them. Only two points to adopt them and do what you want with them
If you were upping your Shadovar to Legendary it would cost 2 points
| GM Moshado |
Alright no one has answered me about concepts.
It is okay Veldrin. It has been the same for a lot of us. It is also why I haven't recruited new players.
If you are DOWNGRADING a race, you do not get points back.
Secondly, I do like the idea of Hero's questing. Kinda sounds like fun. I know what the hero's of My new race are going to look like in comparison to the normal. But I kinda want to work in Glubokaya into being responsible for creating their skeletons out of Iridesium before a I create them.
As for Llieldasine, they wouldn't have any physical changes just power changes, and for Shinoka's I haven't decided yet.
Time for the blood moon to rise
Who is willing to put up their race to be attacked by the Legendary Blood Moon.
| Muthadh Ealaidh |
The Wispi are being sent out to various parts of the world. They are appropriate targets.
@Alliandra: Also, I have no problem sharing those concepts. I will look for a few things that I would like but like with Baxtra, I am okay with you taking now, and I take later.
Gypsy Crone:"Yes... yes! I will give you what you want, yes! For a fee of course.... eheheheh... oh don't worry about the price for now... we can discuss that later! How about we worry about how I can help YOU! eheheheh!"

I like the idea of magical schools having a legendary root attached to them. A. it prevents all of the schools of magic being gobbled up and hoarded and B. the LoC rules (even prior to being re-written) kinda leaned in that direction anyway.
As for grandfathering them, I would prefer the former over the latter.
