Calendar addition?
« on: February 14, 2008, 07:49:37 am »
Perhaps because I'm of an evil bent, I'd love to be able to check what the moon phases were at any particular time.

Playing an Aeridinite, this could be very nice to know...

As a GM, it could be just a great way to co-ordinate evil deeds ;)

Wouldn't it be nice if people automatically got nervous at certain times, knowing that the moon/s were full/dark?

How it could be synchronised with the real world, is a harder question though.

Actually this is sort of being worked out for the new game, but I don't believe it's been finalized in any meaningful way.

Right now, moon phases follow Leanthar's moods, so.... ;)

To do this, we'd need to A) determine whether the moons are giant rocks above Layo, or mystical lights, or what, and B) if the latter, determine how the twin moon system affects Layonara's tides and such, among other things, and... Well, I just know that the nerd in me would try to find things wrong with however it was presented. ;)

But I do like the idea.

They are rocks yes, but events like the Crimson Moon would suggest that they are not entirely just mundane bits of stuff circling the world.

Make sure you remind your inner geek that normal science takes a back seat to magic. ;)
