I had a fruitful conversation with a fellow Dungeon Master at holy hour Sunday-last regarding my upcoming campaign, and the conversation turned toward how to model psychic powers. In the course of the conversation I nearly convinced myself to KISS and make psychic abilities another type of spell casting similar to Arcane and Divine casting.
Why reinvent the wheel?
This seems to beg the question how do my fellow gonzo grognards do psionics in your own campaigns?
- Do you do a Skill Based system?
- Or a Power Points fueled ESP?
- Mentalism Spell type casting?
- Something else altogether?

Hail Star Crusaders! Be welcome to Void Chapel Proxima. Rest, eat, drink, be merry, and regain your strength; for your Quest is just begun. Even here in this place, the taint of Chaos rings us all about. Sharpen your blades, tighten your war-plate, load your arablasters my good chevaliers, gendarmes, and cross-bearers; for The Darkness will Know the Light, and be afeared!

A Science-Fantasy Visual Grammar III
Life for the Common Man on the Periphery of the Sphere of Man is a constant struggle to win new lands for the Cosmos of Order in the Middle Geometry, to re-kindle the Light against the Creeping Dark. The Peasant Life is also its own Inner-Crusade and the Wind of their Prayers is what holds the Chaos-Darkness of the Filth-Tide back from the Worlds of Men. |
An heirloom Lost-Tech suit of War-Plate with Powered-Harness, layered with ablative coatings and enchantments to preserve the warrior encased within. On far-flung Dark-Shadowed worlds where Star-Crusades have failed many such suits still yet stand erect as mute statues; holed and frozen tombs and tributes to the glorious fallen heroes of ages past. |
An Inquisitorial Kill Team of the Clerical Order in action against a Chaos Cult caught in the act. As the Stars Fade and the Light becomes a memory of a dream, Unspeakable Cults give themselves to the Dark in Despair. Remember; Defeatism leads to Despair, Despair leads to Chaos, Chaos leads to Filth, Filth leads to Darkness! Be Vigilant! Praise the Light of Order! |
