How could we have forgotten the ICELANDIC DEATH METAL BEAR?

[Tsuchigumo550]

Xxecesic Balethe Karenthar!
So waaaay back then I actually casted " Repel Right Leg Flesh? "

Spoiler: Result (click to show/hide)

[pot:6]
You expend all of your magical energy on three words. A mesh of living tattoos extends down your right leg, creeping into place and stopping. The symbols that appear in the circle  just above your knee glow brightly and don't dim. You're not quite sure what happens next but, without warning, you are being torn in two and Alga is being violently hurled up the stairs by some unseen force. It feels as though someone as your upper body in one hand and your lower body in the other and is yanking them apart...no, actually it's not that at all. It's as though your lower body is repelling your upper body.
[end:4]
Your right leg cracks, splinters and then falls away, slamming into the stairs and rolling down. As it rolls away and settles on the lowest stair the force trying to pull you apart vanishes and Alga stumbles back down the stairs holding her head.

-copying, copying, copied- Now to figure out a new sourcebook for 3.5e with this wonderful little system. Time for that long held tradition of Traditional RPGs that is taking as much out of the hands of the DM as possible and strapping it to tables, sweet, sweet tables. I'll see if I can post it up here when I finish with it, but I'm probably going to enjoy the next week or so of writing it.

I turned my head into a golden lizard. Beat that!

Theres a dude who converted his lungs into kittens.

Disqualified because his lungs aren't his head.

If you ever figure it out, let me know. It sounds !!interesting!!...

By "Reassign" I mean the words mean different things.  Previously "Dorbaelo" meant "Mark item in right hand", whereas now it means "Tatoo right hand".  It's just a coincidence that it still involves the right hand.  I don't think the rune images really correspond to anything, so they've been reassigned in the same manner.  The circles are a problem but I'll just have to suffer that if someone cheats. 

Also, I'm not going to run a game for B12.  Maybe later, if people really want me to and this game goes well.  I was going to run a game for a group of friends outside of B12, and was just re-arranging words so they couldn't just google stuff.


I think we should certainly have an online document of some sort for the language, specific meanings for words, ect.  Heck, if we go with the below idea, it would really have the entire culture, and any myths that come about during play.

Anyways, I propose we also implement a bit of a religion.  The highest patron god would be Piecewise, of course, then below him would be the eight gods we have in this game, and below them would be all the players as patron saints of stuff.  Not characters, players, like myself and "The Great Golden Wyrm".  Then Zentol would sorta be outside this, meaning the very personification of magic.

If this is a RP'ing game, we could develop myths as we play- a character just preaches to someone about the day the great Toaster attacked the warship of Xanmyral and... The other sky pirate guy (sorry!).  And then that's written into our lore.

Spoiler: Thoughts on the language (click to show/hide)

Shaazeshelial should mean "Me" or "I".  All pg.5 five words should generally mean the sayer's body part, unless there's another word referencing someone else.

Kelio should mean something like "Throw", rather than launch, so telling someone to "Kelio Zothelthcaon Anth" (Launch Bow Forward) would be telling them to throw their bow, while...I guess TealTael (Move) would tell them to actually fire it.  As a corollary, "Anth" alone would just mean "In front of me" while "Tealtael Anth" would mean "move forward".

Kallth ("What I am thinking about") would be used as a generic it, them, ect.  So if you and somebody else are talking about a specific item or person, you can substitute Kallth for whatever it is.  I.E. "Halthel!  Kelio Anth, Bob's Chall-thel Shareeb Calltalleth!" (Man! Throw forward, Bob's big steel sword!) with the response "Shaazeshelial Con-thorbdalion, Kallth Zaralo!" (I'm weak, it's heavy!)  ...Are there any words we could use for a generic negative, like "No."?

Lastly, if there isn't a word for something, or you're unsure about how well people will understand something, just say it in english.

All this is silly though, as we're not even sure we'll be playing MMWW

What would I be patron of, not that I probably don't already know?

[syvarris]

Whatever the heck you want.  It should be left up to the "Saints" what they patron.

Although, my best guess would be destruction, death, and overkilling.

[GreatWyrmGold]

What would I be patron of, not that I probably don't already know?

Destruction.

The Aether Pantheon's top three gods would probably be The Great Golden Wyrm, The Jew of Onyx*, and Wwolin since Onyxjew, Wwolin, and myself were the first three to form the alliance that turned into Science Team Aether.
*Hopefully not sounding...religionist? Is it still racism when it's against Jews?

[Dermonster]

You merely formed the alliance, I turned us into aether. Before I came along you were just a ragtag bunch of tinkerers.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Derm the Destroyer would be important, too.

Like the Thor to our Odin--not the leader, but awesome, famous, and a few centuries later he's the one that gets turned into a comic book.

[Dermonster]

I can dig it.

[Harry Baldman]

Wait, what did Derm really destroy in his whole playtime? I think he was busier being... constructive, oddly enough. I think GWG engaged in more deliberate homicide than he did, and GWG was hardly even here for much of the later time.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Indeed. I think that one of the big myths about the Great Golden Wyrm will be the time the other gods froze him in time, stripped him naked, and leaned him against a wall.

[Dermonster]

Remember that plan I said a page or two ago, where I was going to turn myself into a big honkin' steel-clockwork dragon?

Shit would have gone down.

[Xanmyral]

Personally I'm still rather surprised the Sky Pirates are mentioned much, we were just two guys who goofed around with flying ships, insane plans, and a short musical sequence to try (and fail) to woo a deity.

I am kinda curious as to what woulda happened to Glassco if he kept trying to lift the ship up by himself, because damn if that didn't sound awesomely intense him lifting who knows how much diamond into the air with nothing but his mind. Probably death by brain aneurism I'm guessing.
