Sorcery GCS Library, Status Update, etc.

Sorcery GCS Library, Status Update, etc.

First things first - Merry Christmas! I haven't posted anything in more than two weeks, but I am still alive, and I wasn't slacking off either. I decided to embark upon the exhausting journey of creating a GCS library for all sorcery spells from this blog, and not just advantages with the final cost, but the entire statistical structure of every spell, which allows you to alter power modifiers or make whatever other changes you need to make spells fit your setting conventions without the need to recalculate the costs. Convenient, right? However, this is one of the thing that is exclusive to my Patreon subscribers. My policy is to keep all my content free, but provide additional utilities for the patrons. Yes, this is shameless advertising.

Now that this task is done, I can finally go back to my normal posts. Monsters, spells, perhaps another solo game, or whatever else inspires me at the moment. Also, I am entertaining the thought of creating a GCS library of monsters to be used in FoundryVTT. You know, just like in Nordlond Bestiary.

Powers/Sorcery: Clerical and Divine Empowerments in Action

 Powers/Sorcery: Clerical and Divine Empowerments in Action

One of my patrons asked me to write up an example of clerical and divine empowerments in action. That's quite understandable, as those abilities are somewhat complex and confusing. Let's try to make things more clear!

Monsters: Battle Alpha/Beta/Gamma

Monsters: Battle Alpha/Beta/Gamma

I'm kind of swamped with various projects right now, so let's squeeze out a simple monster post that converts three creations from the Geneforge video game series. They are big, strong, resistant to damage, but are a bit smarter than the thahds from the previous post. Fur is optional, according to the game's wiki.

Monsters: Thahds

Monsters: Thahds

While I'm working on something bigger, let's do some more Geneforge writeups. Thahds are simple battle creations that can absorb a lot of physical damage, but are vulnerable to magic. There are several thahd variants, but only two of them are described on the wiki - so there you go.

Sorcery: Geneforge Shaping

Sorcery: Geneforge Shaping

It's time to fulfill my first patron request - do a writeup of some Geneforge stuff. I played the first game in the series a long time ago, but not for long, because the game decided to wipe my save files, so I got too salty to replay it. But from what I remember, I liked it a lot. I will try to GURPSify it based on what can be looked up on the game's wiki and on the requester's words.

Eggplant Patreon

Eggplant Patreon

Eggplant is selling out! I decided to open up a Patreon page, just in case somebody wants to support me. Locking content behind a paywall goes against my principles, so don't worry about that - there won't be any patron-exclusive content. I have finished, I believe, my "minimal program", so now I do not have any direction. Getting suggestions and requests could help both me and you. In any case, I appreciate any support, and I hope you find my stuff useful.
