=== Trends and Styles ===

Recent trends:

* I'm reading up on Burning Wheel and a lot of the ideas in that system are looking interesting to me right now.

* I want to find ways to incorporate audio into the gaming experience to set the mood.

* Recently I've had a lot of exposure to European history, especially Rome, England, France, and the German speaking countries. This might weigh a lot on how I design cultures and political entities in my games right now.

* I've also been learning Old English and gotten interested in some bits of linguistics. I promise not to invent a language and make you learn it, I am no Tolkien.

~~GMing Style notes:~~

Much more into story, intrigue, and romance lately.

* I tend to improvise a lot more ~~than other GMs~~. ~~It seems to work well.~~

* Expect experimentation.

* Are you looking for that monster you just fought or the item it dropped in the books? Hah! Good luck!

=== House Rules ===

* Rule Zero: "Roleplaying games are entertainment; your goal as a group is to make your games as entertaining as possible."

** Corollary to Rule Zero: "The Game Master can override any published rule at any time and for any reason."

* ~~Hackmaster: Gnomes can be Magic-Users with the same level cap as Illusionists.~~

* Players receive "main quest" experience, even if absent. Characters receive combat experience only if present.

* Hackmaster: Added academia skill: "~~Knowledge of the Planes~~". ~~BP Cost 2. Relevant Ability: INT. Mastery Die: d6. Course cost: 350 gp. Prereq: no. Course difficulty +10%. General knowledge of the Planes and related topics~~.

* [[Sage's Hackmaster House Rules]]

* Hackmaster: Added academia skill: "Portal Sense". BP Cost 2. Relevant Ability: (INT+WIS)/2. Mastery Die: d6. Course cost: 375 gp. Prereq: Knowledge of the Planes. Course difficulty +15%. Knowledge and skills about detecting portals.
