In our game, my friend made his character a "Gremlin Blooded" Changeling. Gremlins came about in World War II, made up by British pilots to explain random mechanical errors. Later a story-book was written, illustrated and published by the Walt Disney company about them and how the pilots convinced the gremlins to help in the war-effort against the Nazis by fouling their planes. There was also a Warner Brothers cartoon about them, featuring Bugs Bunny.

Also if you're looking for inspiration on Fae and Fairy types, there was a game put out in the 90's called "Changeling: The Dreaming" by White-Wolf. They did quite a bit of research and came up with a few really cool "Kiths" that could easily be adapted for a DF Game.

Well, I'm not thinking Global Availability, more like... city wide. I notice one of the big concerns with out-and-out teleportation is the character covering X number of zones and overcoming Y number of Borders and the effects they will have on the caster. I'm thinking this could work with a number of stipulations applied to it, such as "Not across a Threshold" and "Inanimate Objects Only". I'm also thinking that the prepared space and the glove need to share a rather substantial thaumaturgical link, like "The gloves rivets are forged from the same metal that makes up the circle" or some-such.

As stated in the book, Conjuring kinda sucks. Yeah, you can get that sword, but it takes so long to whip up the spell, only to have the sword last for so long. It doesn't make much sense, when you can just go out and get that sword (or other item) cheaper and easier the old fashioned way.

So here's my idea.

The wizard creates in a safe place (home, laboratory, trunk of his car, etc.) a summoning circle (like the one in Harry's basement), this space is specifically set aside for one purpose... holding an item for later use. The circle is then linked through a lengthy thaumaturgical casting to a glove, which contains the spell. When activated, the glove summons whatever is in the circle to the open (gloved) hand of the wizard.

I could see this being extremely handy as it's not always convenient to carry around your Wizard's Staff, loaded gun, sword or what-have-you.

The way I'm thinking this would be accomplished is the glove acts as a once per session use Enchanted Item. The player would have to specify what item was in the prepared space, upon activation of the glove's enchantment, the prepared item is sent into the Nevernever to be pulled out again by the glove.

Any thoughts?

So, I've been looking for a tabletop group for a while now. My old group, after a couple of years, grew apart and now I need my fix of pen and paper goodness. I have one friend from the group that is still interested in RPGs and between us we have a veritable library of games and systems. We tend to fall into the Roleplaying over Dice Use mentality.

Also if you're not located in the same area... feel free to let others know where you are and your gaming preferences.
I'm all about gamers finding gamers!

I'm in the Twin Cities area (Saint Paul / Minneapolis) of Minnesota.
I would love to see my way into a Tabletop Game.
