Well, since it is relevant to a castle
community project, I'll leave it here.

Of course not. It's never really too late
to offer ideas. In fact, I would encourage
you throw any interesting concepts into
this discussion.

No magick? As in, no curative or offensive
spells in combat? I would say some forms
of magic would be immediately banned: full party
curing, revival, annihilation spells, all
enemy party spells, teleportation/ phasing,
and invincibility. Any of the above would
cause technicalities and give wizards or
acolytes too far of an advantage. I would
also ocnsider banning sleep, paralysis or
stone spells as well...they would give the
GM a headache.
As for monsters, encounters would probably
be restricted to three types of enemies
travelling from 'nests' scattered about the
map. Diplomatic aren't a perceived threat
unless you deem them to, nonaggressive don't
fight unless provoked, and aggressive attack
without provocation. Encounters with powerful
monsters would only occur in the worst of
regions, which are sparsely populated. (like
swamps, barren fields and forests.)I think
an invisible border would be drawn on where
enemies can migrate, but only the GM could
see it.

Ah, I see...you want more interesting
scenerios besides the standard 'monster
encounter'. That would be a matter you'd
need to take up with the GM. (but I'm
sure that wouldn't be a problem...and
would make for an interesting report.)

No, it's not too late at all. In fact,
I'm encouraging anyone else who lurks in
.castle to join in with the discussion.
The stage of development is still at the
beginning phase, where rules, etc are
constructed. Have any ideas?

Very interesting idea. I'd guess after a
character purchases the items from a GM
(visiting an MM) some of the funds would
be given back to the owners.

A character to invest in expeditionary
parties that are low on funds? Well,
this might be interesting, but what
would the rules be on this? Should it
be within the rules to have a character
stay in one location while others
work for him? This might be a whole
discussion in itself, but might work
for characters who are foreigners.
(and arrive at an area to seek
patronization.) Nice thought.
