BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Why is Gather always active?

Gather feels like the most basic “do something good” spell, seemed safe to leave it always active

Rather than re-write the Spells paragraph, could you just “add the following bullet”? Otherwise, if Myers and Briggs Wizard Sorting System is enacted, and then this Proposal is enacted, it would erase the changes from the previous one.

The way I worded mine was:

In the rule “Spells” add the following bullet point after “a speed”:

  * a set of traits

Will do! Wasn’t sure if we generally consider that precise enough, but sounds good

I suppose, though, tags and “a set of traits” are essentially the same thing, no? Might we write it so [Always Available] is a trait, instead?

Not really, though. I intended for Traits to be matched to a Wizard’s personality. If anything, I’d rather do it the reverse way, and rename “Traits” to “Tags” for each Spell.

I’m ok if you want to either do that in this Proposal, or reconcile that in a later one.

I’ll just update my wording in this spell. Keeping them separate from each other seems fine

In this proposal* lol

One more thing: the atomic action is called “Schedule a Duel” in the ruleset, not “Perform a Duel”.

Too heavyweight for what it does. Always Available should be ad hoc rather than a tag system.

I also think that rounds where a core counterplay option is missing are more interesting, rather than less interesting, than ones where a fringe option is missing. The only spell I think should be Always Available is Fizzle, and then only because of Snipe.
