interesting

I'm not so sure about wyrd being both "learning points" and a fuel for "magic." Will this be implemented on the test server first?

Seconded. This still doesn't fix the 'I make clogs and get better at farming' issue, and in fact, makes it worse by permitting characters to simply knock on doors and get better at farming.

sounds great! im excited about the marching song, Perhaps you need to... "know"/"have a map" of the area for it to work though? and make it work on roads aswell.

This way it makes maps and roads more valuable and at the same rate make explorating worth while. (it would... "help" people who dont wish to be found if they can decided to live in uncharted wilds)

Hehe. Snorri and I have already been playing a lot like this! We built a cromlech of runestones on which we inscribed our gods' names (Ymir through to Nuss) and when we make a kill or go fishing we leave a sacrifice to the gods in the center of the cromlech. This is in additon to sacrificing to the ancestors.

This is going to be fun!

Leave teleporting alone!

Nixing teleportation and replacing it with Marching is the thing that I agree with most in the OP.

No, you're wrong. This will again decrease trading and just make raiding more viable.

Luckily Winterbrass you are a clueless noob so that's ok.

The present "learning skills" are renamed to Lores, and are bought using wyrd.

by this do you mean the skill tree skills, i.e. beekeeping, plant lore, ranging, etc or the incremented skills like survival and exploration and marksmanship? or both?

For example: While you may not want the stamina changes that night PB gives you, there might be a cool ritual in the night spectrum of the PB slider that you do want, so that it doesn't become a no-brainer not to pick these beliefs.

day/night belief effects stamina? i thought it just effected healing rate?
