Searchable spell list and new Arcane Lore, and contest!
I’ve finally updated Arcane Lore to use the new format, which means it now has more linkable HTML and better PDFs. As part of that, I converted all of the spells to a database, and have made that database searchable on Sorceror spells.
Since sorcerors collect their spells in books, as opposed to prophets who categorize them by spirits, I have plans to add the ability to remember and then save spell books, and possibly add the ability to use the database offline. That’s a long ways into the future, however, certainly not until I get Arcane Lore up again on Lulu.
The resources file for Arcane Lore remains basically the same, gaining only a sword photo. Specialties have been made more readable by putting them into two columns though they’ll certainly get further formatting changes to make them stand apart more.
Because the online spell database is searchable by level, I’ve made the printed spell list purely alphabetical, to make it easier to find spells by name during a game, without having to know the level or school.
To celebrate the database, I have added two spells to the list: Wizard’s Eye and Wizard’s Hand.
Contest! I have over the years acquired extra copies of several issues of the old Judges Guild magazine Pegasus. If you have made your own spells and are willing to give them away for nothing, add your best to the comments below for me to add to the database and to Arcane Lore.
Since February is already almost over, on March 31 I will choose one submitter at random to get issue 121. Besides the many wonders that Judges Guild products have to offer, this issue includes the spells Minor Waldo, which inspired me to create the Wizard’s Eye, Wizard’s Ear, and Wizard’s Hand spells just now; and Disbelieve Reality which is one of my favorite spells from the old-school era. It has already inspired a Gods & Monsters spell.
I reserve the right to ask for postage costs for those of you outside of the United States of America.
