Proposal: Replace existing non-magical shield rules with the following text: "Shields in Darkon are the most effective protection against physical attacks and will block any attack from all non-siege weapons. A participant may only use one shield. There may be no shield spikes or other 'hard' d...

Nick Seniura Siege Engine Redux Proposal Purpose: The intent of this proposal is to modify page 26: Siege Weapons, and page 31: Fighters section of the Darkon rulebook. Doing so will have the following effects: 1. Siege Weapons ammunition will no longer have AOE 2. The Siege Weapon count down will b...

i would like to add the following after the word "rope" in the relevant section of the rule book: "or rubber manacles/medieval handcuffs" Rational: Opens new venues of role play with no real change in rules. New props will add variety to a part of the game that has had little inn...

I like the unarmed ability for monks, but I disagree with the light wound taken when a monk drops his bar. Would this effected arm still be protected by the monks skin or will a follow up strike to the lightly wounded arm cause a mortal wound? If it is still protected by the skin, this could be a po...

Hello and welcome. 1. By all means show up. Adventure day usually means that there is an adventure and certain spells/abilities are available. 2. No limitations on race that I am aware of. 3. Adventure day is a day event. There will be a special battle or something. 4. For your first event just brin...

I did just that to mine a long time ago. Looked better than a standard WW2 helm, but not nearly as sharp as the nasal helm I picked up a year or so ago.

You've got a point. This is probably something that is better proposed if AOE is removed from fireball. I'll keep it on the back burner until that happens.

My mistake

what about fire balls and lightning bolts? Do they no longer damage gates in your proposal? Not really discussed in your proposal. They may not be the target of magical spells or abilities of any kind. Was trying to make it so Gates can only be destroyed by seige equipment and not by fireball. How ...

I am thinking of the following: Gates - Constructed from Wood or Iron with magical "Dispel Magic" runes. They may not be the target of magical spells or abilities of any kind. Gates can be destroyed by 4 strikes from a Ram. Gates may be destroyed by 4 shots from a siege weapon. If a gate i...

One thing I keep seeing that I am confused about is people wanting to keep AOE over multi ball. If I read the proposal correctly, the multi ball gives a mage the ability to instantly remove up to three players from a battle regardless of their armour level. I see this as extremely powerful without r...

Thrush,
Does a raid into the orc lands promise much loot? If so I am always happy to participate in a small incursion. I don't have all the 50 gold for the expedition cost, but I'll of course give you the appropriate share of any plunder.

Not seeing any co-signers, I will request the proposal I put up be taken down.

Oh well, already up. If no one co-signs before the next event I'll try to remember to ask someone to remove it all together.

Proposal is up,
Anyone cosigning?

If you force people to go through all this, it will become a hindrance and people aren't going to want to bother transferring the 100 or so gold to hire mercs. This shouldn't inhibit anyone from paying the mercs the day of the fight. I would imagine that mercs carrying 100 or so gold in payment wil...

Countries may transfer funds to other Countries. To do so, a country’s Liaison must present the Land Marshal with a signed, written  certificate indicating the transfer to be executed, including the denomination and the country that the funds are to be transferred  to. A country may transfer up to ...

Old countries already have money, land, and players. A new country has no chance if they can't even BUILD STUFF ON THE LAND THEY HAVE because XX country decides to attack them while they are on their way to the banker. So if I read the comments correctly, the biggest dislike here is the use of both...

Welcome back to Darkon! If you need any garb I usually bring enough to kit out at least 2 people from head to toe, well, shoulders to toes. (Shoes wraps/covers, pants, tunic, sash). The quality of the garb is pretty good to, but isn't one size fits all and is given out at a first come first server b...

Noctis had a good point about the coin marshal not really being an in character entity. Also, I was thinking about it an having the delivery point for all transactions be the coin marshall would essentially mean that he/she will never get to play Darkon at any event, which would suck. The point of t...

1. Country coffers can only be used for land actions 2. ... 3. substituted. So if I read the comments correctly, the biggest dislike here is the use of both the banker of darkon and the need to physically transfer money for in country uses (Building ships, castles, etc. etc.) That in mind: 1. All t...

After reading the other coin proposal discussion I am thinking that the coin problems should be broken into smaller issues. This is an attempt to address the lack of physical coin or monetary representation at events. 1. All transactions valued under 50 province marks must be conducted in game, in c...

Just brain storming a few ideas to get gold back. 1. At the first campout/adventure of each year players are encouraged to bring/send gold back to the bank. For each mark returned, 1 mark will be credited to their personal account and 1 mark credited to their country. If player is not part of a coun...

This skill allows a Fighter to break shields with a select list of weapons. In the hands of a Fighter, a Battle Axe, Halberd, Black Glaive, or Yellow weapon with a 5’ overall length (except for quarterstaves and Bars) are capable of destroying shields. Does this skill override the current shield br...

So the implication with this is that while you have the relic eqiuped on your person you essentially function like a mobile floating platform. You can carry weapons and wear any armor type and anyone who is in direct physical contact shares that. The hand that would be touching the person must remai...
