New name!

Hi!
Looks like "Lands of Lore" is taken, I am thinking of calling it "Iron Age Adventures" I'll let that rattle around in my brain and then update all my junk if I like it!

Is it good to be different?

Hi!
I just don’t know. WOTC and SJG made their fortunes on doing what was popular, White Wolf and Chaosium made their way on their own. My instinct is to break away in my own direction, do what hasn’t been done. For instance, 10 out of the 30 races in my game are considered elves. But only one or two are stereotypical elves. Haughty, whimsical, erudite or enlightened. There are bloodthirsty elves, races of warrior elves and more traditional elves as well. Is this a let down? Will this interest RPG gamers? Will this help or hurt sales?

Supernatural

Hi!
There are four sources of superhuman performance. Affinity, Magic, Prayer and Talents.
Magic and Prayer derive their power supernatural sources.
Magic works by summoning or banishing thoughts, energy, objects and beings from the Ethereal World. Magic cannot be used to heal or repair things that already exist in the world of Bemna, but can bring new things into existance.
Prayer derives its power from faith, prayer and a link to the Astral World. Prayer cannot create anything new, but can damage or repair items and people that the Priest has access to.
Afinity is a character's ability to tap into the power that emanates from the center of Bemna. These Mystics can detect, effect and protect against elemental attacks as well as mental powers.
There are other Talents too that draw from a character's natural ability.
Every character has a Talent and that makes them special.
