The information I found in both Character Law and the Shadow World Master Atlas indicates that Akbutege should be sO2. The herbs for concussion relief with codes around at least cH6 might be Cusamar (Character Law) or Anneke (SWMA), but they heal more than Akbutege due to the greater difficulty.

ICE News and Discussion / Found a discrepancy on herbs, need clarification.
« Last post by Bruce on March 28, 2024, 09:38:29 PM »
First off I have a spreadsheet that I think I downloaded from the ICE vault a long time ago. This spreadsheet has every single herb in RM and MERP listed in it. I copied that spreadsheet and pasted it into my preferred campaign manager which is Obsidian.md. I then found my copy of Hands of the Healer from MERP and am working on adding the descriptions from Hands of the Healer to the file in Obsidian.md. I found a discrepancy though in the first herb Akbutege.
In the book it says the herb is found in wetlands about two weeks following an extremely cold part of the winter with a Difficulty of Very Hard. I took this as meaning the codes to be: cH6 (cold, Heath/scrub/moor, and Very Hard to find). But the info in the spreadsheet has sO2 (semi-arid, Ocean/saltwater shores, and Easy to find), which is just about the complete opposite of what I have and what the Hands of the Healer describe.

Can anyone please clarify this for me as to what I should go by and which book I might find the correct info in?

The name is a bit funny. For my online part, I use ObsidianPortal, which also uses Markdown, but I don't think has anything to do with Obsidian.

This discussion got me to wondering if I could use google sites to create a campaign manager. I just filled in some random data and came up with:
https://sites.google.com/view/offrong-campaign/home.

It only took an hour or so. I am thinking it might make a good campaign manager. It's certainly easy to build. While not complete by any means, I think if provides a proof of concept.
Interesting. For one I didn't know there was a thing called Google Sites (when I first looked at it I misread it as Google Sheets...lol). It looks good but not sure it would work good for my campaign management. I also have all my data already programmed into Obsidian (much of it was ported from Realm Works) and I am daily adding things in.

The blogs were more what I was looking for. I don't know, open source people just don't know how to present concise explanations of what things are for. I see that everywhere. Here's a directory of all our files! Here are all the plug-ins! Here's a log of recent changes! But no "this is the purpose of this project."

Anyway, ok, I can see the utility. It's not what I would use personally, because I find Markdown too constraining, but ok.
I come from using Realm Works as my original campaign management software and I found it extremely useful to have everything I need within a few clicks and on different tabs, but it was never organized the way I wanted it to be. Then they announced there would be no more development for Realm Works and along came Obsidian.md.
I can use Obsidian during a game for easy rules reference and to look up info on the current scenario and any relevant data. I can post maps and other images on external screens so the PCs can see them. There is also a plugin for using spreadsheet formulas within a note inside Obsidian (but adds a little extra to entering formulas).
I am not a programmer (dabbled a little in Javascript for PDFs) so I don't do any programming for plugins and what not. But I can usually get some help in the Discord if need be.

General Discussion / Phaeselis: the City of Psionics
« Last post by EltonJ on March 28, 2024, 07:00:32 PM »
I developed a world for Pathfinder (1e) and Ultimate Psionics.  It's set in the world of Alexander the Great, the Hellenic Age (after Alexander conquered the Persian Empire).  I'm going to put my other sci-fi on hold and I'm going to develop this further.  My wiki, the Phaeselis Wiki has more detail. I'm still planning on buying HARP SF and probably HARP Fantasy.

Question is: would HARP Fantasy and HARP SF handle it?

We had this thread about the matter, a decade ago…

Perhaps look at

https://publish.obsidian.md/hub/04+-+Guides%2C+Workflows%2C+%26+Courses/for+TTRPG

and scroll down to the "Vaults" section.

I believe there is a method for swarm/pack type attacks in RM2, I have to research it.  I used it in sessions with gorecrows, rats, elemental rats, giant hornets, and even leeches. :)  (That's what happens when one decides to dive into a foetid pool of water in a haunted swamp to try to get some coins.)
