Qent's Quest
I took a little time over the past couple days to play around with some graphical game design for once. I would like to present my first work: Qent's Quest: Savior of Kerth. It's a parody game whose setting should feel familiar to CLOK players. While the game is inspired by various true events, I sh...

Re: New pounce ability
Some players like their am smash goods. That's totally fine. But no guild has ever been one-size-fits-all. Right! It certainly works, I just wanted to clarify that not all Dwaedn Wyr are that way. Now I'm super tempted to log in as my Dwaedn I never got around to playing, just to try out this new a...

Re: New pounce ability
Not trying to be rude, but I believe CLOK and the Dwaedn class were not at all improved by this change. It can be rough when your idea of something is shaken up, for sure. Hopefully I can help assuage some of your concerns. As the creator of the Dwaedn Wyr, I'm actually excited for this addition! I...

Re: Mage Candle and Fire Sphere
Is there a lore reason for the difference between these two? Or is it an oversight or low priority change? I was asked ICly why, and I'm not sure how to answer. One is a tiny little candle flame that provides a slight amount of light, the other is a big bright ball of fire that provides a large amo...

Shadgard Orphanage: Nasty or Nice?
I was made aware of some speculation a little while back about nasty nuns treating children badly in the Shadgard Orphanage, so I wrote up a little blurb to clarify things and got Jirato's approval to post it. ========== The Shadgard Orphanage is a modest facility on the south end of Shadgard where ...

1. The mummer abilities, is it implied that anyone can learn it... no genetic quirks like elemancy or something?

Re: A Dreaded List of Questions Thread
cultures and religion: Q: Why do Rhuidim speak Nuum? A: Likely because Rhun was originally a Nuumic Old Gods traditionalist.

Re: Briar's List of Probably Dumb Game Questions
Elemancy works the classical elements of fire, earth, air, and water. Sorcery has to do with cold goopy inky-black stuff. Thaumaturgy is warm glowy golden light that gives you warm fuzzies (unless you're tainted, in which case it burns like the dickens). Druidry primarily has to do with plants and a...

Re: Sorcery manipulation
I'll give an overall point of advice about all channeling first, and say that if you don't have an ability that specifically says you can do a particular thing, then it's likely you can't do that particular thing. This applies to all types of channeling, not just sorcery. Channeling in this world is...

Fun fact: Some may recall that one of the charmseeking (trick-or-treating) items you can get at Octum is a tiny iron pyramid. This has been a thing since the very first CLOK Octum in days of yore!

Re: Carved haft termination
Does that mean that woodworkers just make a "stave" item now instead of a specific type of haft, and the stave works as a wooden haft for any weapon head so the old specific-type hafts are obsolete?Noctere wrote: woodworkers are encouraged to supply carved staves for blacksmiths instead.

Re: Making arrowheads out of softer metals
we should remove larger softer metal hilts and definitely all hafts (a silver or gold flail haft would be bent in no time and more useless than a silver or gold arrowhead) and we should make lead shot un-reusable. Most arrows should break upon use anyway, if not the head, then the shaft. Nails: har...

Re: Shadgard blacksmith pricing tweak
(Speaking to the original intent.) IC reason: Iron isn't found in the Shadgard region, so it's mostly imported from Mistral Lake, where iron is abundant. Mistral Lake exporters, caravan traders, and Shadgardian merchants all take advantage of this, so prices for iron goods are pretty crazy high in S...

Re: Telepathy and you (Feature Request)
It seems to be an issue specific with words; the targeting syntax works for copies in anything else--elemancy and melee combat--and targeting or re-targeting with the words seemed to work, but only when they were not the same creature. If there is a hound and a laborer, then she was capable of slee...
