Saw these on the ME Fan Modules Yahoo group, never seen them before myself, and they're too good not to share:

That's entirely open to dramatic interpretation, I'd say. But keeping in spirit with only what's described in the text, I think that it may in fact drive the Vampire out of a possessed body, if...

Why not allow any of those appropriate spells to do so? You could modify the base TN according to how 'appropriate' you feel a particular 'spell' is. The thing about those 'spells', btw, is that...

I'd see this as a test of Willpower (harder) and/or Sorcery/Necromancy (easiser, but risk corruption).

I'd suspect that only a character with Art, Magic, or some kind of Divine providence a la...

Totally! I think that your ideas outlined above form a really great concept map, above and beyond any consideration of system. But for me, this is as much as anything an idle, amusing, exercise. ...

It seems as though the fundamental dynamic in 'Art' or 'Magic' in ME is the power of Spirit/Fea over both Spirit/Fea itself and Matter/Hroa in addition.

So understanding of/attunment to the...

Since Song was a fundamental process in the creation of the world, it seems to make sense to look at sound/music for suggestions on relationships, as vgunn did with the term Resonance.

One basic...

Ok, so. Where to start? Questions, I think. So, first question, where to start? ;-)

I see two parts to this, two concept maps. One, to represent the setting's ideas of magic, such as they...

Sure, but optimistic compared to what? ;-)

I was considering more opitimistic than hearing no word at all.

Having said that. Point taken.:rolleyes:

I received this reply from Decipher Customer service just now:

Not at all! This is abundantly clear to me. What I'm trying to convey is that your DoS scale IMPLIES 'levels' of effect that I think (at this stage of development) can be difficult to intrepret and...

Definitely a small footprint on the character sheet too.

I certainly see this working, the only fuzzy spot is, of course, adjudication. Your examples illustrate the IDEA to me really well, but...

Gah! It all makes sense. Ok, well, carry on!

Oh hey, I'm definitely liking the way that's shaping up, forge on space traveller! That's not the point! :D The more the merrier I say, and its always something I've considered an interesting...

Alrighty then, the shelf's almost stocked, all we need is the link to Green's thread here to round it out for me:

I think Osric may even be on this board, if so *wave*. I like the ideas below, thanks!

I'm putting this thread up here as a sanity check, basically, although I think that the CODA implementation...

Magical Elvish artifacts are not all great and powerful things. There are the Palantiri, the Stones of Far-seeing, the Silmarili, and the Rings of Power. But the Elves seem to make many other things...

Although Legolas here seems to disagree with Frodo's assessment, he notes that "change and growth is not in all things and places alike." Is Legolas perhaps dissimilating a little to protect an...

Tolkien explained the powers of the Rings more fully when writing to the publisher Milton Waldman:

According to "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age", "Sauron gathered into his hands all the...

What does Tolkien mean by "sub-creation"? He applies it to the natural means by which the Ainur and Elves achieve their Artistic ends. It is through sub-creation that that Ainur bring to completion...

The infusion of the Morgothian element into Arda thus altered the susceptibility of that part of the World to the Will of others. Sauron utilized Morgoth's power to achieve what might be termed a...

This essay appears online, but the site doesn't look too healthy, so I don't know how much longer it'll be up there.
