Magic users believe each gem is imbued with its own distinct energies, and that it is possible to tap into those energies for personal gain and insight. Unfortunately, most roleplaying systems have simplified gemstones to the point of uselessness, serving little purpose in gameplay other than as a variable description for a piece of random loot. </p><p><i>Elemental Gemstones</i> offers 70 gemstones with related folklore and reported magical properties. Add a touch of mystery to your game by using the information in this product to develop new ideas for magical items, or add some variety to random treasure rolls. </p><p>While this product is designed as a general resource for any game system, it includes supplemental information for the upcoming <a href="http://www.bardsandsages.com/karma"><i>Karma Roleplaying System</i></a>. The <i>Karma Roleplaying System</i> will allow players and storytellers to craft their own spells and magical items, design their own races, and completely customize their characters with a unique point system. You can use this product now with your existing games, and get even more use out of it this November when the new system is released.</p><p>Update 4/18: Added a grayscale file for printing</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://bardsandsages.rpgnow.com/images/348/12329-thumb100.jpg" border="0" alt="World Building" title=" World Building " align="left"><b>Publisher</b>: Bards and Sages<br />Based off of the syllabus I used for my World-Building seminar at Suny College, this short e-book details a process through which to create a functional fantasy setting. Instead of offering a step-by-step blueprint, this product provides writers with a way of thinking in order to insure that your fantasy setting is realistic, consistent, and playable. With this product, you will:<br /><br />*Learn how to avoid the  and quot;kewl and quot; factor that can cripple the functionality of your setting.<br />*Develop a clearly defined logic that will help shape your setting in a natural manner.<br />*Define the important aspects of your setting that will shape your game mechanics.<br /><br />This product includes practical examples of how the process was used to create the <strong>Neiyar: Land of Heaven and the Abyss</strong> campaign setting. Each chapter includes a section called  and quot;The process in practice, and quot; in which we discuss how the seminar class used the process to develop their own setting. There are also blank pages between sections that can be used for your own notes and comments.]]></description>
