Beautiful Horn 1 The wizard can imbue the majesty of brass onto any tube-shaped object they touch. Blowing into the object well let out beautiful music that can be heard for a mile around. Begoop 2 Turn a 24 foot area three feet deep into a viscous sludge. Muddy 1 A wizard can make it so someone's footstep track mud everywhere they step for 3 minutes.  Painting Form 1 The wizard can assume the shape of a perfectly flat version of themselves.

I recently stumbled upon  this system for determining weather.  I made a chart and posted it on arena.athas but I realize it's not particularly friendly to people with colorblindness so I decided to make an updated version that is less reliant on color

When exploring the galaxy a new place to investigate, visit, or lie low. Olympia 1 The Moon of Plenty Mining isn't the most glamorous job in the world but you cannot deny the money starts rolling in with the opening of the mine. Olympia 1 is a moon of the gas giant Olympia. Olympia 1 has some of the most plentiful Aether and Trembium mines ever seen.  The Dry Moon Not many places off of Earth are fully dry but Olympia is different. The mines set up were established by an American Company using the Imperial system. The small spaceship docking station is too small for ships built to the metric scale meaning they cannot dock. A new station built for metric ships is in the process of being made but it will be a few years until that happens, meaning nearly 100% of the people on the planet are Americans. Fortunately for people in need of a drink that doesn't mean 100% compliance with the law. New Morgantown The Big Dome The only city on this mostly desolate moon is New Morganstown. A...

I plan on running a game where an expansionist empire will be a somewhat central problem. What is an expansionist empire if it doesn’t have military leaders vying for power and glory along with their conquest? Adolf Ehrhardt's Die Schlachten To help facilitate that I have created a simple numerical system to track how much glory one person has gained to the people of the empire. The Count  Each General has a renown score, the score represents the abstract public image of them as a person. Their score can only change once they have returned from the front line. There are five brackets of renown one can have. Unknown (1-15) While they are an accomplished general the people do not know much of you. Respected (16-30) Talk of their exploits has reached the public. The people respect their military might Renowned (31-45) The people hear fables of what you do. People will sometimes walk up to them to thank them for their service to the empire. Revered (46-60) Considered one of the greats ...

    This started out as a thing I used for scum and villainy where I played a mystic that was obsessed with figuring out the way via the use of mind-altering substances. Expect more of these as more sci fi drugs get invented. Airlock Glue Ingestion Method: Huffing Stereotypical User: The Desperate Look: A bottle of mundane sealant that is often used to temporarily fix air lock leaks. Effect: A few brief moments of pure euphoria, lasting typically a minute. Over Use Effects: Brain damage and chemical dependence.     One of the cheapest and possibly one of the worst drugs out there, it’s the bare minimum of getting you high. Huffing the fumings of drying air lock glue is reserved for people who are so miserable on a spaceship that they have no standards left. Elysia Ingestion Method: Chewing Stereotypical User: University Students  Look: A translucent blue cube roughly 2 cm across. Usually comes in round metal containers Effect: A mild sedative that prov...
