Hazaril: A Setting for Burning Wheel

For those of you who might have forgotten about the Forge and its ilk:

Here is me working on a setting for BW that I plan to run my next game in, and if Luke gives me his blessing I might even publish it as either a pdf or a printed product some time in the far future.

The Mannish races of Hazaril are coming along swimmingly, although I haven't even tried to touch on their Elemental forms yet. Come on over and read and post and kibbitz! :)

[luke]

elemental forms?

ELEMENTAL FORMS?

:cry:

please... no... god...

:oops:

[Lxndr]

It's not what you think. AT least, I don't think it's what you think.

Remember how each non-human race has a third physical sex? That's the "elemental form." They're extreme versions of the races, cost more Trait points, and are incredibly rare.

They don't each turn into an element. No no no no no.

Bah. You didn't read all of my beautiful, beautiful prose. Or something.

[luke]

I did, I was just fooling around with you.

But I admit I had forgotten, and I was envisioning doing all the work we just did all over again!

Keep it simple, Lx.

Well, the Elemental form is, pretty much, gonna be the regular form with a few things tweaked.

The Avalir elemental form is smaller and can fly instead of just glide. That's the gist of the concept, and will basically involve more outrageous attribute modifiers (since they ARE the pinnacles) and a change in the description of the Wings.

The rest are similar.

And, we don't have to do work on them as "urgently", since I only want to allow the five base races for starting-play. They're weird enough without having to say "oh yeah, and you can be the third gender, too..."

GRAY, GRAY, GRAY!

I missed this before. What were you chanting to gray?

This is a map of "Hazaril from Space." I like it.

[Kublai]

Man, that map is KEWL! :shock:

Is that from some auto-map program or did you just have a LOT of time on hand?

[Lxndr]

Heh. I suck as an artist. It's from an auto-map program.

On the other hand, it was fate. It was the first random seed I used, and it was PERFECT. I've been using it ever since.
