Proposal: Sawn-Off Magic
Times out and fails 5-5. -Bucky

If “Get your runes in a line (take 2)” failed, this proposal has no effect.
Add a new Dynastic rule, called “Amulets”:-
An Amulet is a block of wood carved with between one and three Runes. Each Apprentice may carry a number of Amulets in their inventory, tracked in the GNDT under the column “Amulets” - each Amulet is represented by a string of Runes, and they are separated by spaces.
As a daily action, an Apprentice may Carve an Amulet, by removing a group of up to three Runes from either the start or end of their Workbench. If none of these Runes are “X”, the Apprentice may add one Amulet made from those same Runes, in the same order, to their inventory.
Add a new bullet to the list of “manipulating the workbench” actions:-
Cut a fresh piece of wood; this replaces the Runes of their workbench with “XXXXX”.

Darknight: Your “Amulets” GNDT entry would be something like:
A ROT TT P S
Perhaps this rule could use a bit of clarification, since at first glance, it might seem to some that the “Amulets” entry tracks how many Amulets that Apprentice is carrying (or even, how many he is allowed to carry). But I think the intent is for the “Amulets” entry to actually list the current inventory of Amulets, as above.
Darknight:
I love how an innocent Q of mine gets people wondering how to make something abit clearer to understand lol.
Bucky:
I would like to keep changes in the size of a Workbench relatively rare.

Hmm… this is is a problem.

What happened to the site?
Bucky:
The front page went down.

Am I correct that the operation of this rule could result in a Workbench having more or fewer than six Runes?
Kevan:
It could have fewer, yes, but not more - you saw bits off and remove them, but can refill back to five damaged runes.

A closer examination reveals a couple more problems with this:
*Grindiness. It encourages making an amulet every 1-3 days.
*No cap on total Amulet length. This may lead to too much information crammed into one GNDT column
I would rather have, say, a ‘shelf’ GNDT column which only contains one extra sequence.
