Today we had a good recon and discovery session. It felt very sandboxy and self-driven, which was good. We drove the plot, used some esoteric skills for appropriate things.
And we made concrete out of Holy Water in order to keep some restless dead out of a morgue and hospital. This blew Christopher’s mind. It takes a lot to blow his mind.
More later.
We had just finished the battle with the dopplegangers from the magic mirror from the prior session. The green dragon called us out that we’d forever remained trapped in the maze. He may, in fact, be right. We shattered the triangle mirror, but we still are in a magical hedge maze that shifts. We decide…
This post was spawned in the same discussion +Peter V. Dell’Orto references in his recent entry on the Shield Wall question. This isn’t more about Shield Wall, but more shields in general. After I started on this, I figured some of my fellow bloggers would like to try, so I contacted Peter, Mark, Jason, and the…
Thursday is GURPS-day, and so here’s today’s entry: This one isn’t really navelgazing. I wrote The Last Gasp for a few specific reasons, and I thought I’d share a bit of how the article came about. First, I’ve been a bit – frustrated is too strong a word – but at least a bit twitchy…
Thursday is GURPSDay, and have we got a pre-tryptophan set of posts for you today. Below you can find the blog activity from the last seven days. Over the last week as of just after midnight there have been 55 GURPS-related posts from our list of 69 blogs that have popped up on the radar screen….
Hey, look! I’m coming up for air for a (brief) moment! I wanted to highlight Paradox Game’s new crowdfunding campaign. He’s a mapmaker, and he’s offering up a set of more than 20 tactical maps for fantasy RPGs. They were created with The Fantasy Trip in mind, but any game where folks try and murderize…

I WASN’T PREPARED FOR YOUR DEVILISH SHENANIGANS! I will be next time.
Holy Water concrete to ward undead. That feels old school in a very good way.
I’ll admit I found it pretty inspired. Anything that makes my GM put his head in his hands like that is made of win.
In reality, I suspect that what such a thing would do if anything would be the “mild aversion” version of turning undead. It’s not pure holy water “burn like Alien blood” kind of thing. It’s not a ritually blessed and inscribed seal. It’s just a “well, maybe you’d rather be somewhere else” suggestion.
Now, the powerful WARD Amos put on there with magic is a bit harder core.
There is a way to make it more potent – but that involves scribbling Enochian runes on it to properly sanctify the container (the concrete itself). Do that and it’ll function much like any holy object against things susceptible to them.
