Creating sparks is what it is all about.<br />Though we edited the book as best we could, >300 pages means too many opportunities to miss typos and other stuff, so if anyone sees any, please email me! (info@boardenterprises.com) We will be fixing anything we find and putting the newest version out (for free download to anyone who has already bought).BoardEnthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15462361536278304286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842087556081043371.post-2280900211465533502016-10-24T06:08:34.680-05:002016-10-24T06:08:34.680-05:00I had The Book of Wishes for years now. I've ...I had The Book of Wishes for years now. I've never paid it too much mind, as spells and magic other than clerics as NPCs have always been a bit cumbersome for me.<br />However, I got the new Omnibus the day of release! And have been fervently rereading the books in their entirety as the one big book now, loving the Boxes as a breakup of the text by the way, and a super good clarifier (as well as some great sparks just in the boxes!)<br />However, My point is that although I've been familiar with the D&D Et Al. Spells since my very first years of obsessive PHB and DMG reading. A few always stood out for me, but any time I had a character with magic it was always of the ranger / rogue utilitarian kind.<br />So, that said, now that I spent a good part of my free time the last few days reading the Omnibus Edition, I have fallen in love with spells again! And boy, does LQ have a lot of cool ideas. The magicks system is so dynamic, with all of its facets and forms, and mentalism especially! Holy, there is some crazy sparks just flying when I read those things! <br />It really is an ongoing process to divorce my mind from the bland sort of routine monogamy of my previous RPG worldview. LQ opens up whole new ways of doing things that I, a back country roleplaying in Canada (where ordering RPG materials is $$$, I mean, I used to work for a half day as a kid at the comic shop organizing just to barter for a Dragon mag or tube of dice). And with only a few friends into the games, and just really the internet as any kind of extended exposure to the culture of RPGs and the Fantasy genre in general, aside from fantasy novels of course, my picture of the whole is kind of skewed. <br />One thing, my games, as player and GM, have always revolved around being (essentially) rogues that get caught up in heroism and good vs. evil or order vs. chaos campaigns. I never went what they call 'Murder Hoboing' now, which is talked about like it's the holy Holy Grail of OSR...I started with Rules Cyclopaedia' and 2e, in a time when paladin's and rangers were ideals, not drow antiheroes or White Wolf Vamps and Lycan tribes...so I don't get a lot of the current OSR obsession with reinventing the perfect megadungeon crawl. Dungeons were always second to roleplaying heroes vs. the bad guys, mostly aboveground with maybe a lair at the end.<br />Anyway, I'm rambling. Just having lots of fun with the Omnibus lately. I have many questions, but I hope to use the Patreon avenue for some of those!Nova Scotia Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442827914256027088noreply@blogger.com
