Group Casting Magic System

Hey Guys,
It's been a long time since I last posted in here, and that's probably due to Real Life getting the better of me. I am beginning to come untethered again and started thinking more about Game Design and Magic Systems.

Steve Irwin IS DEAD!

Breaking News! Steve Irwin is believed to have been killed by a stingray barb.
Knowing how difficult it would be to get stabbed by a stingray barb I find this absolutely unbelievable... however, it is Steve Irwin we are talking about.

The Wiki of RPGs

Everybody, remain calm.
It has finally happened (or is still in the process of happening). I have set up the Wiki that I started talking about at least a year (possibly two) ago.

I was just wondering how many people here prefer to take care of the household problems instead of calling in a professional to do the job? Electrical work? Plumbing? Excavation? Construction?

An end to the working year!

Well, I just finished off my last day of work for this year. And how did this day go? I have just finished eating a fair amount of Pizza and drinking some Crown Lager... Nothing is better than Crownies and Pizza, except maybe Crownies and Crabs.

"Game devs should avoid forums." WHAAAA?
|
Seems to be fairly good advice. When the forums are less populated, and there is far more signal than noise, you can culture a good fan base by interacting in the forums. Once the community grows you end up with far too many trolls and louts that... |

Clearly the winning strategy is to keep playing the set until all the other players have to drop out to go to the next tournament.
That would be a very interesting method of ensu... |

This is incredible. I can't think that after that much time playing that there would be a lot of enthusiasm left to return a serve, hence more aces. |

Man, what a nail biter! I was getting angry there towards the end, especially when it looked like the difference was going to be another bad call by the refs.

However, most of the moderator zealots that plague these forums (most that have not completed a game in their lives) will disagree on such thing as a book on game engines.

Don't you mean 3? You are starting from zero, right? :D
Three would be represented by 00011, as in normal binary. Zero is 00000. And on that note, everytime I get up to 16, cars pull over to give me a lif... |

Disappointed the Aussies didn't convert all that offensive into another Goal. Now the only possible way to go through is to win against Serbia, and rely on Ghana beating Germany... Long odds from where I sit. Not impossible, just improbable... |
