Hello Folks, I'm pondering a translation from another game system over to GURPS and wondered how others might approach the concept...
The basic idea from another game system is that of building a construct - be it a pyramid or a stonehenge like edifice - that channels ley line energy into a broadcasting scheme to other "objects" that translate the mana into usable mechanical energy. Each edifice can handle X amount of energy (or mana) and broadcast it to another "crystal" that is attuned to the edifice in question. Sort of like a powerstone crystal - but access to what amounts to a mana pool rather than a fixed "recharge" rate per mana stone. Such a crystal can be used to power a horseless chariot for example, or a trireme or other such "mechanical" like contrivances. Ultimately, it treats mana as though it were broadcast power - with a set range limit and a set limitation of how many can access the broadcast point. Some crystals can be used in place of "light bulbs". It would almost make it seem as though this were a normal magical light - with an ongoing fatigue cost supplied by the "broadcast power". Any thoughts? _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
