Hey there! I am attempting to start / restart the Ebony VI pbem using Everway rules, and I'm looking for players. Ebony is a variation of Roger Zelazny's...
I've been going over the Fortune Deck prior to running Walker's Crown, and I've come across some "too close for comfort" card pairings that I'd like to break...
... It is possible that they are deliberate pairings - to emphasise results of these types. My thoughts on the differences: Fertility vs Spring. Spring is...
Dear Paul, ... As explanations of the existing set-up, these remarks are great. I think, though, that I would like to go with a less subtle, more binary...
Following up on yesterday's posts, here are some proposed changes: Fertility (Growth vs. Decline) and Summer (Energy vs. Exhaustion) stay as is. Spring (New...
I wrote this up a little while back, and I figured I should put it out there for people to evaluate. Feedback is always appreciated. Alec Fleschner ... Using...
Very nice, Alec. I've been using Magic card images in online Everway games for quite some time. However, I don't take them from the cards (I gave away my...

Hi! I've just finished up "Gods Week" on Walker's Crown, my Everway campaign development blog: http://walkerscrown.livejournal.com/ Feel free to stop by and...
In case anyone is interested, here are the results of "Gods Week" in PDF form: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/rwb/www/gaming/everweb/eight-great-gods.pdf Best, Rob ...
I'm new here. Have I missed something? This is the first mention of 8 great gods I've heard Andy Lycos email has 300 Megabytes of free storage... Get it now at...
Dear Andy, ... You haven't missed anything: the Eight Great Gods are my campaign's replacement for the Earth gods that Jonathan Tweet wrote into standard ...
Once I fiddled with the gods, I had to adjust the cosmology: Walker's Crown (http://walkerscrown.livejournal.com/) now contains an alternate zodiac (the Twelve...
Rob, I've been off-list or lurking for awhile (settling into a new job, with all the attendant trauma), but I finally checked out your livejournal for Walker's...
Dear Jack, Thanks for the kind words. I'm still trying to make the High Magic work. Right now the binding/invocation model seems very Earth-heavy. I'd like...
... My immediate thought takes the mechanical form of "Magic score cannot exceed lowest element score." For water, the rationale runs along the lines of "you...
... Hmm. Worth pondering. Here's a more thematic approach . . . These are the needs of the Fortune Master: Water to find the Fortune. Earth to bind the...
... A rephrasing: Water to find and Earth to bind, Air to make and Fire to wake. Makes High Magic very difficult, if you require draws for all 4 elements. I've...
... Consider your rephrasing stolen. High Magic doesn't require all Four Elements in a mechanical sense. In fact, it has no connection to Element scores at...
Hey there! Sorry to pop my head in just to peddle my game, but... Ebony VI is now in it's 3rd week with 5 players. For the next month or so we'll be looking...
Rob, Your "Fortune Mastery" magic system is fabulous. I do have some questions / suggested clarifications / changes. 1) What is the benefit of invoking...
Dear David, Thanks so much for the detailed comments. My replies are interspersed below . . . ... Invoking multiple Fortunes is largely an artifact of my...

Here's the revised draft of Fortune Mastery: http://walkerscrown.livejournal.com/6792.html I took David's suggestions into account, eliminating simultaneous ...
Rob, I honored that some of my advice was useful. For the most part I think the end result is more clear and balanced. Some thoughts / kudos below: 1) Adding...
Dear David, ... Thanks. In revising the rules, I was trying to simplify the system even further. ... The current draft actually allows starting Heroes to have...
Rob, I realize there was an e-mail you wrote to which I didn't reply. Sorry about that. Another set of thoughts: 1) ... Part of my problem with using elemental...
Dear David, I've removed the sentence on utilizing a Fortune's elemental affinities, and I've added a few clarifying how Fortune Mastery differs from standard...
