Only a few thoughts for today.
- Thanks to Marcus, who told Richard Garriot, aka Lord British, of my deeds!
No thanks to Google, which didn't even put his comment into moderation. I get offers to learn spells and become a vampire and get scammed on anti-virus and you don't let LORD F-ING BRITISH comment on my blog! What the hell?
- Grognardia on level drain.
I never loved level drain, but it's amusing to see people ran it even more brutally than by-the-book. Yeah, you lose only half the xp required to regain the level.
- Also Grognardia, on Revolt on Antares, the TSR minigame.
This was a really fun game. I have the counters . . . maybe . . . and the map . . . possibly. I would buy it again if I could. It was a lot of fun to play.
- So you died in Felltower, eh?
Now you can prove it.

I've often considered how to do "level drain" in GURPS. A flat penalty to all actions could work, but that is most often seen as "curse territory" and doesn't well mimic the "level loss" aspect of level drain. A disad? That kinda starts to mimic the "loss of power", but then loss of exp would do that faster, but taking exp away is generally seen as a "big no no" in most circles.
ReplyDeleteFP drain? Sure, but that also works just as well as a "life drain".
I dunno, it's just one of those questions I occasionally ask myself.
