Took the weekend off from the football project. I left my thumb drives somewhere and I won't get them back until tomorrow.
Still, found a game group in town and played Scythe. What a fun setting.

I long time ago, (about a year) I mentioned a system for chart based spellcasting. The idea was that you rolled some custom dice to consulted the chart to see if it was successful. No two charts are the same, etc.
The issue was that it used dice that you can't really buy anymore, dice from a game called Paydirt.
While working on my FASERIP Hack it occurred to me that I could use 3d6 instead of three custom dice. I also made the charts similar to Vedic Squares.
Looking at the Pic, 1 through 7 represents the spell level. The left column has the values 3 through 18. Roll 3d6, look at the result and match it with the spell level of the spell you want to cast. If the square is black, the spell fails.
Hope to have more soon.
A cosmology idea that I wanted to jot down. Feel free to use it.
The void of the multiverse is rife with necrotic or negative energy. We might call that entropy, heat death, friction, etc. The point is that a living creature at any point in the universe will slowly die due to exposure to necrotic energy.
Planets and asteroids are exceptions. These points of life are direct connections to the life force of the universe. In a traditional D&D sense, this may be the Positive Energy plane, but it could be any form of energy that gives life, renews, or otherwise cancels out necrotic energy.
Life evolves on planets due to the connection to this life force. Outside of the relative shelter of a planet or asteroid, the universe really is trying to kill you, but not deliberately.
I felt like thinking of cosmology this way might allow for an alternate spelljammer where ships are powered by a Spring of Life or some other gem or device that is a fist-sized planet. The small device provides air to the ship, but also propels itself by canceling the necrotic energy around it. (This would be why planets move.)
Just an idea. I may develop it more later.
