This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Skarg;969970I only just now read it. I like that it immediately suggests all kinds of hilarious misadventure from people trying to acquire and maintain the needed ingredients. Does the dying man need to die, or can you just keep one in the barn and have him be dying, (ahem) harvest (cough), then save him before he actually dies?

That's a good question. I would say that as long as the guy is being hung, he could be saved and made to go through it all repeatedly.

Wait, are you saying he needs to be hung or hanged? Two different things!

Quote from: RPGPundit;969967Huh. Really? I expected some kind of reaction to that last post.

You going to have other "necromantic" medieval magic items in there, like the Hand of Glory?
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

Just now read it, and my reaction is "cool, he did his research."

Quote from: RPGPundit;969495In my upcoming Lion & Dragon RPG, I present the medieval-authentic version of the Homunculus.  It's something Magisters (magic-users) can create.
To make it you need a special type of jar, the intact womb of a mare, regular supplies of fresh human blood and a mandrake root that was seeded with the sperm of a man dying from hanging.

What does the authentic one do?

The D&D one was golem-lite.

Disappoint and frustrate the alchemist who wasted time and resources making something that didn't work.

Quote from: RPGPundit;971423It's a special type of alchemical jar, made specifically for this purpose. It's meant to work as a kind of incubator.

Question what / how is the jar made???

I don't go into that much detail in the book; there's a fine line to manage between what's interesting details and what's too much fluff.
