Proposal: Klaatu barada nikto

3-4. 2 non resolved Imperial. Timed out.—Chronos

Adminned at 07 Nov 2006 04:31:43 UTC

If “Proposal: Tomes” has not been Enacted, the rest of this Proposal does nothing.

Rewrite the main body of the “Eldritch Tomes” rule to:

Listed under this rule are Eldritch Tomes which copies may be gained by a Student at times when the Ruleset allows such an action.  The Tomes copies possessed by a Student are tracked in the GNDT, under the field “Tomes”.  If any action would cause a Student to have more than 1 copy of the same Tome, it instead causes that Student to have exactly 1 copy of that Tome.  New Students start with no Tomes, signaled by a “-” in the GNDT.

A Tome may list a set of Spells that may be cast by a Student that possesses a copy. Each Spell may list a set of circumstances that must be true so such Spell can be cast and must list a set of consequences of casting such Spell.

A Tome may list “(X Copies)” after its name.  If any action would cause some Students to gain copies of such a Tome, putting the total number of Students with copies of that Tome above X, it instead causes no Students to gain copies of that Tome.

If any Student gains a copy of Necronomicon, that Student immediately loses 66 Sanity and loses possession of the Necronomicon copy.

.
Add to the sub-rule “Tomes”:

* Tome: Necronomicon (1 Copies)

,
changing the format of this addition if necessary to conform with that of other Tomes listed in the sub-rule.

I like changing to counting the number of tomes rather than the number of Students with the tome, but why not allow someone to horde all the copies of a tome?  And I don’t like that the rule on tomes with an unspecified number of copies is that there are an unlimited number instead of just one copy like in the original wording.  I’m also not inclined toward this rendering of the Necronomicon.  Sanity loss is good (though maybe high), but why instantly losing possesion of it?

In summary, I hate fun.

against I don’t like the “If any action would cause a Student to have more than 1 copy of the same Tome, it instead causes that Student to have exactly 1 copy of that Tome.” part, neither the Necronomicon one.
