Indiegogo campaign is now live, and is over 1000% funded in the first day. The opener video on this page does have a video demo of how it actually works.

Beekeeping

So, I don't really keep bees, but I've thought about it from time to time. I've mused that I might when I actually own a house. My wife sent me a link this morning and I had to share because it blew my mind. Anyway, if any of you are fascinated with bees or are amateur apiculturists, check it out. A...

Re: Tailoring, Weaving, Spinning, Wilderness Stuff etc.

I must say that I love everything that has been posted thus far. Candle making and more versatile sinew use would be fantastic. As far as feedback, I do have a minor bit of correction, as I crochet myself and my wife is an avid knitter. For crochet, the implement is actually a hook (singular). Also,...

Re: Project Euler

I've solved through 9 at the moment. I'm using R, a great language for statistical analysis. R is really good at vector operations (performing functions on vectors). It is less optimized for loops and only ok at recursion. It has been interesting realizing how much choice of language sets the diffic...

Re: Ability Idea

As another clarification, aeromantic conjurations are also made up of "stuff", it's not just causing movement (and it's not oxygen). Is it breathable? Or more applicably, is it safely breathable? Could an aeromancer (temporarily) prevent drowning by providing breathable air-that-is-not-ai...

Re: More uses other than combat!

I was reading back through the wall descriptions and I quite like them. For Geo walls, it would be quite impassable, and I like the idea that walking through a wall of fire is inherently a bad idea. For an Aero wall, I was thinking it would be neat if one could press through it, but had to successfu...

On the gathering of stones

TLDR: Statistics is cool, and if you're looking for smooth river stones, it probably isn't worth staying in a single area for more than 10 minutes without finding any. I recently noticed a post that requested more functionality on survey to be able to determine what kinds of stones can be foraged th...

Re: Channel Combination duds

The Aero + Geo non-combination is particularly flummoxing, since using a single aero channel plus a geo wand (or vice versa) produces an effect of two non-woven channels firing. Can you expand on this? I think you're just seeing the zap effect of an earth wand/staff, and the aero channel is just be...

Re: Request: Spearfishing with javelins

Honestly I'd love to just be able to use a pointy stick (or medium/large branch technically), but the losing the fish in the water due to the lack of barbs is a good point.

Request: Spearfishing with javelins

I found a shop that sells javelins! So, I was wondering if it would be possible to spearfish with them. Could that be a thing? I know it can be done with spears and (I think) tridents already.

Re: Hurl Barrage

The advantage for the system in its current state i believe is that you can have a bunch of different things in your pouch, (medium stones, river stones, knives, darts, etc) and it will keep grabbing them until your auto hurl items are depeleted. Do hurled items sometimes 'disappear' upon use or ar...

Re: Hurl Barrage

Ok, after playing around with it a little more today, it looks like the issue is that not all small rocks register under the same item. I was able to pull several different rocks in succession and each of them registered as a new item for hurl set. So, I'm going to live with my work around of using ...

Hurl Barrage

I've been noticing that using barrage to hurl stones only pulls stones from my bag intermittently; often barrage will just empty my hands and report that I need to be holding something to hurl. I've used hurl set and sometimes empty about 10 stones in a row and then get the must be holding something...

Re: Woodworking Requests

I'd love to see carve-able javelins, particularly ones that would be usable (albeit to much reduced effect) with just a sharp wooden point instead of having to smelt or knap a head.

Re: Your body odor reveals your hiding spot!

I've thought about this too. Though the one I would suggest first is that maybe intelligent foes should start to get paranoid/search around when hidden people are carrying on a conversation in the room.

Re: Ability Idea

I had some thoughts on utility (ish) stuff for master aeromancers. (1) with an active aeromancy channel, if you get nova'd into another room (or similar effect), you can react to slow and avoid damage (and possibly also stun/knockdown). This would be similar to how aero jump works for jumping from h...

Re: Why are you afraid of fighting, CLOKians?

CLOK is about roleplaying first and foremost. My primary two characters don't care for it, and if there were aeromancy and pyromancy tasks I'd probably be willing to leave combat behind altogether. So, my thoughts are, not everyone is all about the violence.
