I am happy to have been able to provide you with what I can only imagine was an interesting bit of trivia, I hope it can be used in one of your upcoming games or some of your fan fiction. Venerable Mentor Style has a very special place in my own heart due to the fact that it involves gripping small fragile body parts like fingers, hands, noses, tails, and using the merciless grip to throw opponents to the ground or otherwise control their movements by use of carefully applied pain, in many cases…

Thank you Scott, and Teenage Mutant Sarpah, It is true that things have been very busy for us all here at Shard RPG. We are devoting as much time as possible to keep up with our schedule regarding the completion of our next book all the while attending as many conventions as we can in an attempt to introduce others to the world we have created so that we can increase the activity on this forum and increase the number of followers we have in our family.

There is a martial style which has a maneuver which bends or breaks a tail however and its pretty effective. It can be found in the Magic and Martial Arts guide under Temple Styles, specifically the one known as Venerable Mentor Style. It is a specialized targeted maneuver on the location table listed as Snip the String. I have seen this performed a few times in game and it is very dramatic and quite entertaining to witness...

We appreciate the information concerning these hackers and I will be visiting this forum on an almost daily basis from this date forward in the hopes that having more eyes available on the forum might give us a greater degree of protection. I agree with what Scott Jones said however, meaning that even if I were here as they attacked there is not a great deal I might be able to do to stop them from hacking in to our space. We are taking this issue seriously and are searching for alternative ways …

Regarding the physical characteristics of any player character, we strive to leave the exact details of appearance to the creator of the character. Many players, myself included, find it helpful to create unique images or obtain artistic images for themselves which can be used as representations of the characters they are portraying in the game. The nature, and or style of the pieces of art created or chosen in this case are left entirely to the discretion of the player and the Game master of th…

Wow! This was a tasty bit of information to share and I can think of many players who will be eager to put what you wrote into play as soon as they have the opportunity.

Please feel free to overnight me a little of the luck you and your campanions possess in abundance. I may need it for our up coming game.

I could certainly see that being the case in many different circumstances as well, considering that the Paksin of the west tend to favor, appreciate and even worship concepts, ideas and entities associated with the air while other nations have chosen differently. In the end we have left such considerations to the desires of the individual Game Masters and as such allow them to shape those behavioral tendencies for themselves. I would like to mention that in the pages of the up and coming WORLD G…

Thanks for the wonderful inquiry about aquatic based characters. We have included a number of Jenu which could exist equally well in water as well as on land and plan to offer more information in the up and coming WORLD GUIDE. We are currently considering to what degree we will offer the options of Dolphins, Whales and other such animals in the world of SHARD. It is our intention to give these special animals the consideration they deserve and provide fictional backgrounds which highlight the un…

Thank you for putting some of our content out in your material, please be sure to include a reference as to where the chant can be found in its original form in any material that it is displayed with in. A simple sentence giving credit to the game and a link to Shard Studios available at Shard Studios P.O. Box 170144 Austin TX. 78717 or some similar act would be fantastic and greatly appreciated. That way those who are interested in it may know where to find other fiction which they may also enj…

This is a most excellent question and I will say that you are on the right track. Medical Alchemy can indeed be used as a complementary skill to dress wound and or surgery, in that the substances the healer will be creating can affect the Dice the Healer is able to use when attempting to use Dress Wound skills. I will go into detail on the details of what would be required in order to use it effectively. The exact way will be described below. The first thing to consider is whether the character …

The world of Dardunah has many of the same things you would find here on earth specifically including the rare delicacies which are found in other cultures other than western nations. In my own game I like to combine aspects of different fruit and vegetables found upon the planet earth to fill in the gaps when I wish to introduce the players to unique role play scenes. One way to do this is in your own mind while another way is to keep a list of a variety of fruit, colors and vegetables and comb…
