Power Taboos

Just a quick update before I run out the door. The Powers chapter is coming along nicely. I did another round of revisions on the sample power sources to trim them into a shape more suitable for the game table. This morning I also spent some time writing up an example power source that I'm calling "The Source". It's a mystical energy field that has two sides that are--shall we say--"light" and "dark". This has helped me to consider some classic restrictions on the use of powers in RPGs. For example, taboos such as "the Force can't be used in anger or out of hate without falling into the grip of the Dark Side" or "a paladin who commits and evil act will fall from grace". While writing up the "Source", I thought an interesting and simple way to incorporate that into the Impressionist system. I'll add more about that later, but for now I'm running late for an appointment so I have to go.
