Re: Important NPCs

Some additional notes on the Elder Amberites: There is very little available canon information on Oberon's wives and mistresses. Some of them are described as powerful sorceresses, so it seems for this game likely that each one had at least one non-Pattern Power. Additional details are subject to de...

Re: Glimmer

Glimmer's personal mech still needs a name, but it's a roughly wyvern-shaped machine, modified from an old repair platform. Head: Re-Tuned Plasma Torch - provides Blast at +4 Torso: Jumpstart Capacitors - as an action, roll craft against the number of shut down systems of a mech in your zone; on a s...

Glimmer

I like having character sheets available in a forum. It's nice and convenient. This one is for my kobold tinker in a space opera game being run over discord. (Head shape isn't quite right, but eh. Still neat to have a character image to work from.) Her name translates as Shining-Gold-On-Reforged-Gea...

Leonard's Companions

A pair of companions have ended up being, to some degree or another, Leonard's responsibility; both hail from the city of Kurashiki in the Jade Empire. Lady Alishan Tainu A kitsune, and daughter of the current ruler of Kurashiki, Lady Alishan Jianan. She has, somehow, grown up with something vaguely...

Re: Amber

Amber-the-city: Amber is a walled city with a population of around half a million; it has been expanded once, though little remains of the original inner wall. Despite the lack of any plausible threat, Oberon has made sure to keep the city defensible, with enough empty housing to take in everyone fr...

Re: Amber

Amber-the-world: There are maps of the bounds of the island; you can sail around it. There are no maps of what else might be out there on the oceans - sailors from Amber always run with Pathfinders on board, connecting to other worlds rather than continuing in the same one. Rumors place terrible mon...

Amber

Amber. One word, but confusing in its multiplicity - are we talking about Amber-the-world, of which little is known beyond the existence of a small island nation with a unique Power-dampening aura? Or are we talking about Amber-the-city, grown fat off the trade of its Dragon lines? Or there is Amber...

Wahi-Samskra

Approaching Wahi-Samskra from the Jade Empire is a rather sudden affair - the train tracks along through empty badlands, and then there's a curve around a mesa and the dragon line runs down through carefully-irrigated fields, then out onto a long, low bridge over the Lifeblood river. The city itself...

Re: Hassan I Sabbah

(( Just after Hassan's encounter with Lord Varaya, on a ship that was fated to explode... )) You're being chased, by something dark with too many limbs and joints that bend in odd directions. It occurs to you that this is a dream, but something about it all feels... off. Dreams can kill, if you end ...
