This is one of those rule changes I talked about To encourage descriptive writing and prose, I'll take the fudge points into use: for every piece of prose/ society descriptions you email to the list, I grant 0-3 fudge points. These can be used to effect dice rolls: for 1 fudge point, you can preset one dice to not be -1 (ie. be 0 or +1), for 2 fudge points, you can preset one dice to be +1, etc. So to ensure a roll of +4 for *one* freely chosen action, you must gather and spend 8 fudge points. Everyone starts with 0 fudge points. A decent write-up will earn you 1 point. A great write-up will earn you 2 points. 3 points is reserved for the truly magnificient. A weak piece (or a decent piece with lousy grammar) will get you thanks with 0 points and a suggestion to develop it a bit further. Each month, I'll present a common theme on which people are invited to write on. The first theme is: "From 1418 to present: what happened after the Sinari war". (This is for my benefit, as well as for anybody else who reads Keaton's book, and wants to take a look at what happened then.) Concentrate on your own society. juuso ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send mail to celandra-off@phoenyx.net.
Look I really want to start playing this game but I want to start my own society. If you could give me the basic and advanced criteria for a society creation sheet to work with I could in turn give you one of the best written societies you have. If this is not possible I would like to become the leader of a society on the southern shore of the midsea. Either way please get back to me as soon as possible. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

The thing is, it would have to fit in with the rest of the world, and its history. >If this >is not possible I would like to become the leader of a >society on the southern shore of the midsea. > Well, if you want something primitive, there's Parglug which is an NPS at the moment, so that's available. As a more advanced society, Videssia is also free. juuso ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send mail to celandra-off@phoenyx.net.
I've decided to not make a society but to shape one. However I would like a society that is not too religious, fairly technological, monarchy, and somewhere near an ocean if you can help me find this I would be very greatful. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Well, there are several options. Videssia is perhaps not the right choice - it's not a monarchy, and its hatred of monarchy and magic is close to religious fever - but there's Zelkor, Taltheran, and Aixelsydan, or even Tana if you're looking for something different. Joel also said that he might be willing to give Burcancy (=East Torphan) to someone else, but I'm not sure about that. juuso ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send mail to celandra-off@phoenyx.net.
