Occurs to me I ought to post this here as well- I'm working on making foam weapons (for larps, and for sale) both in my own designs, and based off of awesome stuff like A:tLA.

I'm still working on beveling a straight edge, and saving up enough for the sealant to go over the paint-jobs.  Both seem wildly out of my reach at the moment.


( Pics! Jet's Shang Gou and Zuko's Dao! )

I am having that strange and terrible urge to GM again. One of my major campaigns is coming to an end, and in the interim there's probably going to be a bunch of things my crew will be trying. I might put in a bid to try running something for them, IF I can come up with enough for folks to actually play with without tearing my hair out.

I really, really want to do a game with the Avatar D20 supplement the good folks of the GitP boards came up with- I don't necessarily want to run an Avatar: the Last Airbender game.  So my thoughts are running around the question of what do folks think that a setting with the A:tLA system of 'magic', rather than the classic wizards, druids and clerics, would be like.

My initial thought is that the various types of 'bending are mostly human's magic, but with a couple of other species getting in on the action either as having mimicked it, or having originated it.  Possibly non-human types like elves have their own magics, but I'll have to figure out what specific systems I want to include, so that things don't get too wildly out of whack (although high-level anything in a d20 system is going to be screwy any way you look at it).  I like the idea of combat being more about the different moves you can do, physically or elementally, rather than straight-up fire and forget arcana.

As for the setting itself- I'm thinking that this might be taking place in a small sea, in a place where there are a lot of large islands kind of near to each other, so that boat travel is frequent but you can also fetch up on a shore where you could go for a few days without seeing water on the other side, and possibly find the edges of some larger continents where civilization's grown up.  I'm seeing the elves as fairly reclusive on their particular islands, but the lower classes among them are known to show up outside their shores, fishing and trading.

Another big thing to think about- what are the problems that the adventurers are going to encounter?  Things like dragons and zombies are very very classic D&D, but they aren't going to fit without some serious adjustment- like if zombies are just corpses being blood-bent by a master witch.  You know, that could be an interesting thing, because as is, blood-bending is basically epic tier- it would be much easier to puppeteer a dead thing by its liquids than a live one.

The AU:  Sun Child, in which Princess Zura was pregnant when she was banished from the Fire Nation.  Now she roams the world with a child in tow, seeking the Avatar as the key to redemption- for her, and her daughter...

The Prompt/Summary:  Interlude in Ba Sing Se- a certain point of view from a business man.

Kyoshi Warrior Ozai by ~weirdlet on deviantART

Thank you, brain, I now have the image of Kyoshi warrior!Ozai in my head.  God alone knows how this scenario could come about (although some of those young!Ozai AUs might make it possible, who knows).

I'm in massive cleaning mode, with a PC-nuking on the horizon.  I have both cons and LARP-dates coming up.  I'm feeling good and crazy-busy and haven't written a thing in months- you know what this means....

Meme time!  Ganked from one or more of beckyh2111, spyridona, darkpuck, and I think suzukiblu but that might be a secondhand gank at this point.  Anyway- list me an Avatar character or pairing, and I'll see what I can some up with for these ten different AUs.  Please bear in mind that I may be much slower in answering than others.

Meme Is Closed!  Thank you, everyone, for your prompts and your patience- I'll work through these, it just may take a bit.

Okay, folks- I got art I need to be doing, stories I'm working on but which aren't gelling, and some things have been said that are setting me off in a 'yeah, you're right!' direction.  SO.  What we have here, is a Jetko meme.  I get to work on one of my favorite pairings whilst trying to get more into their heads (Jet in particular is a slippery bugger), and we all get some hot starcrossed boy-love.  Or hate.  Whatever you like.

Give me a prompt, a sentence, a song, whatever; any AU/universe in progress you like, just so long as you keep to this restriction- no rape.

Two prompts per person, promise of one ficbit, standard not-very-fast warning applies.

Do have at it!

Extended prompt-fic from my mpreg meme, for Attackfish- brainwashed!Zuko, and what happens when he meets up with the Gaang again.  Continuation of this-
