- Under normal dungeon circumstances they burn continuously with the normal light, heat and flammability of ordinary torches.
- When placed in water the flame goes out, but it automatically relights when withdrawn.
- The flame only burns in proper dungeons. E.g. The Torches do not work in the non-haunted basement crypt of the abbey. Actual dungeons have some metaphysical property that differentiates them from other holes in the ground. Upon reaching the exit of the dungeon the flame goes out, automatically relighting when you next visit a dungeon.
Here's how the sale works: Offers will be taken here, on G+ and via gmail (jrients@yaddayadda) from now until the next tabletop session, Wednesday October 19th. Acceptable items offered include gold, gems, jewels, magic items, MU spells or anything else that might be of value to inhabitants of the Wessex setting. At the session on the 19th I will present all offers to the owners and I will get back to whoever they choose to sell to.
You have made some lovely interpretations of the torch. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThere is something epic about the way Constantcon is letting you open your dungeon up to folks. I'm I think that is awesome. I think I will email you.
ReplyDeleteHaha, it's pretty cool you're selling these over the persistent world. It's a nifty reinterpretation, having these items only work in real dungeons. It seems like it'd help keep the rest of the setting insulated from the "how does this magic thing change the world?" dilemma.
ReplyDeleteI like the way they also function as dungeon detectors.
ReplyDelete*whoof!*
"What was that?"
"Crap! One of the torches lit up. Keep an eye out for wandering monsters!"
I love the dungeon-only clause on the torches. The idea that some 'permanent' magical items are essentially running off the otherness of the dungeon (whether it's the mythic nature of the underworld, or creepy radiation, or what-have-you) is excellent. Love it.
ReplyDeleteAre you selling to people who play in your campaigns or to anyone?
ReplyDeleteWould it be wrong of me to yoink these for my own setting?
ReplyDeletePlanetNiles: Yoink away!
ReplyDeleteLouis Clark: Anyone with a FLAILSNAILS character or a PC in one of the allied G+ Tekumel games can make an offer.
