Talk:Merlin Township

From 1d4chan

This page is to discuss Merlin Township. Feel free to put anything you want to say here. -Kipp Anon

Greetings; I have a text file of most of Merlin Township: background concept, geography, crunchy bits, Radio Merlin broadcasts and every person I could find (many of which are now named). It does not have the stories. I would also like to collect the pictures, they add so much to the story. most of the images are not OC or Public Domain, I created some and manipulated others, so I will start with them. - Your humble architect

I salute your dedication. I'm trying to stat up the Heroes of Merlin Township. Since it's late here, I might just do it in the morning. - KippAnon

Location brainstormer from the threads reporting in! I've posted the Locale List that I'd been keeping for myself before seeing here that another Anon had been thinking of doing the same. I really hope that I haven't stepped on any toes here! I've tried to divide things up into the different districts by what made sense to me at the time, but please feel free to swap things around and change whatever isn't right! Also thought we might add a new district, "Cross-River" for whatever lay across the Lethe. - Wanderer

I feel we have too many bridges. Maybe some are described with two names, maybe some are only there during the day or on Tuesday. I have not seen the Cartographer check in, it would be his nightmare to codify. He got a new CAD to do the job and that could take time to get up to speed with. If he doesn't make the map, I will, but it will take even longer, probably. - Your humble architect

Heroes of Merlin Township - Characters and Traits[edit]

Thought I'd start a topic for characters who might be considered as Heroes of Merlin Township, as well as for the additional brainstorming of traits and powers that could be granted to preexisting heroes:


Angela Reyes

Traits: Feather-Weight: Though she has yet to learn how to fly, as both an angel and a child Angela is extremely light of weight, giving her +1 to Speed when running or climbing, and giving allies +1 to Strength when boosting, pulling or even throwing her somewhere.

Judgment: Though Angela is a spitfire and quick to judge a person, her judgments sometimes turn out to be correct, granting the little angel +3 Strength, Speed or Laughter when negotiating with unrepentant wrongdoers and combatting unambiguous Evil.


Luci Fergusson - Merlin's Housekeeper - Strength 1/Speed 2 Reason 3/Rhyme 2 Laughter 3/Lying 3

Traits: Skeletons in the Closet: Ms. Fergusson has the unnerving, instinctual ability to know when people are lying and keeping secrets, even from themselves, granting her +1 to Reason, Rhyme or Laughter against those trying to hide things from her.

She's Right Behind You: Any attempt Ms. Furgusson makes to appear silently and creepily behind someone is treated as an automatic success.

Clean Sweep: As Head of Housekeeping, Ms. Furgusson is very observant and has an eye for detail, granting her +1 to Reason or Rhyme when investigating the scene of a mystery.

Headology: Ms. Fergusson knows how to read people. She knows what they want and what they need, and she knows how to get them to do what must be done for their own good. When trying to convince someone on a course of necessary action, add +3 to Laughter or Lying.

Equipment: Head Housekeeper's Uniform: An impossibly crisp and clean black and white maid's uniform. Gain a +1 to Laughter or Lying when trying to intimidate someone or something.

Oddity: 50
