May not be great. I'm no publisher or great writer. I wrote the
stuff for me mainly and everyone else second. So I'm happy :)
Its probably based 70% on facts collected and 30% made up stuff.

When health and time allow, will send the present - The Western
Lands.<br>

Western or Eastern? :) <br>
western might be interesting. Get to see the Great Structures of
the New Yark City :) Its funny I run Gamma World as well. In its
future USA looks different due to all the bombs and such. Like
Texas is sunken in and now mostly water. Florida is water.
With all the oddball weather lately (hurricanes and floods) I'm starting
to think that map may be accurate :)<br>
<br>
On an aside. me and a player were talking. <br>
The Akasha Spell.<br>
<br>
Some Questions from it. I know the GM has the final say. But
was curious what you as creator of the spell thought.<br>
<br>
1) Failure being abys. Is this from the gods not liking the view into the
past kinda thing?<br>
<br>
2) Can Dark Sight or other say Visual / Sensory spells be used WITH or
BEFORE the Akasha spell? In one way its a solid recording so its
like a TV image you can't wear IR goggles to increase the viewing.
But on the other hand if your eyes are adjusted before it could
work. I could see arguments either way.<br>
<br>
3) Camera Angles. Can you pan, move the image or is it set in place
playing where you view the event. Ie you stare at wall and chairs
you can't see anything but those chairs and walls not the stairs behind
you? To me it would seem its a static spot. <br>
<br>
I always liked the recent movie Earth Sea I think it was. They had
a Akasha like spell in the bar from a murder if I recall. That was
very close to what I think Akasha would be.<br>
<br>
4) Oh. Sounds come out of the spell?<br>

<dd>>Its now 2006 or is it still 1100 depending on what nation your
playing in.
<dd>>
<dd>>Well happy new year either way!
<dd>>
<dd>>Progress report on my ship project.
<dd>>
<dd>>I have 1.3 megs of 16 files completed on various things.
<dd>>I'm winding down to the last big parts.
<dd>>
<dd>>Next is a look into the movement rules for ships. Then Ship
Construction
<dd>>(the big file I suspect and hardest to work out and ultimately
the main
<dd>>reason for the poject). then once that's done the naval warfare
document.
<dd>>
<dd>>So 2 big and 1 big topic left. 40 files of notes, roughly 670k
of notes to
<dd>>wade through and organize.
<dd>>
<dd>>I think I started this last Feburary. Guess I might finish it a
year later :)
<dd>>
<dd>>Hopefully after my trip from the Bahamas. Wonder if I'll have
time to
<dd>>visit the pirate museum in Nassau? hrm...
<dd>>
<dd>>Once I start posting the data I'll likely post one file or topic
a week so
<dd>>folks don't get bombarded with data.
<dd>>
<dd>>Just hope it makes folks happy and not start big arguments :)
