Roll for damage? What is this, a DnD convention?

That is so punk.

It's decided, I'm starting an RFD fan site. Alejo I LOVE YOU!

Not really, but I do wonder if Alejo is going to be playing a larger role in this whole story then we've speculated up until this point. It'd be nice to have a rockstar on our side. *hmm* Besides, I still stand by me wanting a Roll For Damage hoodie... or at least a sticker to slap on my base.

Theres got to be at least a couple of RFD cards if/when they get released. Hey, there might even be a demo hidden out there somewhere on the big wide web just waiting for us to discover it. Smile

actually, i had a mental image of a spinning top, being smacked to start it prescessing. its an interesting turn of phrase, and not that different from many we have in english. i say interesting though, not for the phrase, but the societal implications. first off, the wheel season is starting. we still have no clue what that is, and the phrase may be related.

second, we have the cube. ascendancy point (a cone) and wheel. basic geometric shapes . hmm.

just spent an hour going over the figures for ascendancy point. i was going to say that i wouldnt be surprised to see phi and other numbers play a large part in their architecture. so i analyzed the point (based off scarletts blog)

its half an inch wide, 1.75 tall. ratio of 3.5, not phi, not even twice phi, quite. and the ratio of midpoint to bottom is 1.79. drat. digging through my memory for some old geo knowledge, and doing a bit of rounding off, i get a length of the side of 2 inches. this gives an angle of about 75 degrees at the base, or a top angle of 30 degrees. very nice round number. this means one could make a perfect circle of ascendancy points. 12 of them, in fact. hmmm, where has the concept of 12 units to a whole been seen so far? ohh, thats right, just about everywhere.
