			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ENTRY ONE:<br />
Ite, bra&#8230;it&#8217;s your man Kai Kianu. This has been a crazy year&#8230;I&#8217;ve finally come into my own on the waves, and I&#8217;m hitting competitions, and racking up gold. Met a cool ass dude, master of the concrete waves&#8230;you just call him Tag. Anyway, me and my brah been wreckin it up, winning gold and always winning the hearts of the ladies. Well we both signed up with the main dude, Matthew Owens. Multi-millionaire, and owner of &#8220;Fast-Cataclysmic Studios&#8221;.</p>
<p> I&#8217;ve BEEN on my surf game, but now I&#8217;m getting into the music scene. Doin it big!!! So me n tag signed up for the Surf n&#8217; Turf games&#8230;sounds like a seafood dish, I know, but it&#8217;s legit. Anyway&#8217;s, brah, we hit the games doin&#8217; it big. My man Matty Owens straight bought an ISLAND!!! I KNOW, RIGHT!!?? Dude&#8217;s got shrek sized pockets&#8230;it&#8217;s crazy&#8230;and to top it off, he&#8217;s just as crazy as me n Tag!!! Shit, with all that money, he&#8217;s got the funds to be even CRAZIER!! I know&#8230;sounds impossible&#8230;whatever.</p>
<p> So My man Matty invites us n some other peeps&#8230;oh yeah, the other peeps&#8230;.Met this card player&#8230;crazy ass dude named Ace King&#8230;.kinda gay, but the dude is legit as they come. This smokin hottie named Anika..or Onika..whatever..she&#8217;s all about security. She&#8217;s legit. Oh yeah!! Dude named Walker!!! AND HE&#8217;S A FOREST RANGER!!! Baaahahahaha&#8230;.crazy. He&#8217;s straight, though. He&#8217;s from Canadia. Then we move it over to my favorite jigga-jigga-jiggalo&#8230;dudes name is Brad&#8230;he&#8217;s not ripped, so he must be packin, cuz he gets paid to bang the honies. I&#8217;ve never been the type of dude to take money from girlies, dude gets fat paychecks for doin what he does, and I can totally respect his hustle&#8230;.oh yeah, and Brad brought this fine ass girly with him.</p>
<p>So here we are&#8230;on a chopper, headed to the island Matty bought. We&#8217;re gonna scope it out. I know it&#8217;s cold, but I&#8217;m hoping to get a crack at this islands virgin shores. I&#8217;m sure Tag is gonna scope out some spots to shred on his board. And I saw Matty and Ace racing bikes back in the states, so I know they&#8217;re gonna get into some shit. One thing is for sure&#8230;this is going to be epic.</p>
<p>ENTRY TWO:<br />
This shit is completely fucked, brah. We got to the island, and the first night, some wacko&#8217;s WRECKED our chopper, killed the pilot, and wrote &#8220;Tag You&#8217;re It&#8221; in his blood on a building&#8230;I don&#8217;t know who did it, but I know it&#8217;s got us all shook&#8230;.We can&#8217;t contact anyone, and Matty&#8230;in his rich boy lack of give-a-fuck, didn&#8217;t radio in to tell ANYONE we&#8217;re here&#8230;.but someone knows&#8230;.someone is coming for us&#8230;.someone has COME for us, brah, and I don&#8217;t know how we&#8217;re gonna make it out of this alive. I&#8217;ll keep writing&#8230;as long as I&#8217;m alive, brah&#8230;as long as I&#8217;m alive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By now many of you have noticed the new version of 3GRP is not up&#8230;&#8230;I&#8217;d like to blame Monsters &amp; Mayhem.  It might not be strictly speaking their fault, but its always a safe bet to blame the monsters.  Some of you may have noticed the core page redirects here as well.  Thats on purpose I would like to make this the 3GRP core page, as well as the Caram world page.  I could go on about how I&#8217;d like to update everyday, blah blah blah, but that would be a lie, I&#8217;d like to update everyday, but I don&#8217;t think it will happen.  Instead I&#8217;d like to focus on getting big articles about parts of the world and System up.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve heard many of you are running your own 3GRP games out there and I love it!  I want to hear stories, and tales, and all the rest.  Coming up this week, is the Deity powers and influences list, a new generic list for those of you using your own deities, and some more in depth stuff about all the other deities of Caram.</p>
<p>Also coming up I&#8217;d liek to get the race guide, I&#8217;ve got some more in-depth stuff, about all the races of Caram, and some other races that might not be on Caram, but still I would like to discuss and cover.  Just a small teaser:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_114" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 163px"><a href="http://www.griffonsgate.com/caram/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Satyr.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-114" title="Satyr" src="http://www.griffonsgate.com/caram/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Satyr-153x300.jpg" alt="Satyr Priestess of Bruin" width="153" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Satyr Priestess of Bruin</p></div>
<p>Great Line work from ZG thanks again!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Well folks so far so good, I hope to hear more from you guys, I&#8217;ve reposted the link the Book, I hope you guys are having fun, and making great games!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been tossing around the world name Caram.  But would love to know what you guys would like to call it.  Worlds need cool names.  I&#8217;ve always thought that if their worlds out their where their inhabitants are conscious enough to name them, that they would call them dirt as well.  So maybe all worlds call themselves &#8220;earth&#8221;  then again, who knows, naming the ship that transports us all through space, and time, after dirt might seem insulting to others.  I guess we need a name that we&#8217;ll call it, maybe not the inhabitants.  Thanks</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever wonder why the most powerful items are often destroyed? Or why vile mages don&#8217;t constantly use blood and souls to make weapons that will fell their enemy&#8217;s with a single blow? Powerful weapons have been made throughout the history of worlds. Sometimes, a  weapon will wake up.</p>
<p>When a powerful item is created (especially through blood magic) there is a chance that whoever gave the permanency will give an item part of their intelligence as well. Most often this is only fragments of the persons psyche;emotions, memories, and strong personality features. But sometimes the whole intelligence is transported into the item, but that can only happen is the entire soul is used in blood magic.</p>
<p><strong>Mechanics</strong>:</p>
<p>Must have at leased ten spell levels in the item and one permancy. There is a 5% chance that of the rip that some sort of fragment of the person will be in the item, this increases by 1% for each permanency (after one) used in its creation and another 1% chance for every five experience (after 10) used in the creation. Remember this effect is small, like some sort of emotion every time you use the magical item (although on a natural one you will just move on to the next step). If the first percentile stated above is missed, then the item will not become intelligent without further modification (like additional enchantments).</p>
<p>Such a traumatic birth, but we are not done yet after this. This emotional item has been forged, and someone is going to use it. The individual might never know of its unique property, but only of its usefulness. After this person have used it for about ten years (note, this does not have to be the same person just ten years of use) a new layer of personality is added. This new feature to the intelligence is more useful then the last. multiple emotions or feelings, a &#8220;someone is watching you&#8221; feeling or dreams of the events the item has gone through. This is the longest cycle of the fledgling intelligence; lasting hundreds of years as the items psyche develops. until finally, it wakes up</p>
<p><strong>mechanics:</strong></p>
<p>Every ten years a percentile roll is made, the chance of more features developing is equal to the same chance of a emotional item back at the last step plus 1% per ten years it has been used (and by used I don&#8217;t mean in a dragons hoard, there is barley any emotion to feed off of there).</p>
<p>Now that the item has a mind things get interesting. The item will act kinda like an NPC, getting one experience every time it is given out. since it has no body, its points will mostly go into mind and spirit and sometimes with skills. The item may be very talkative to get as much knowledge as possible, or completely silent to avoid being destroyed. After some time it will gain its first path stat; most often it is mana or psy but anything is possible.</p>
<p>As a note not all powerful weapons end up with a conscious. Items made by gods are rarely smart by accident.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>climate: this fruit grows to the north near the barbarian tribes and around Ventis pass</p>
<p>frequency: rare (10%)</p>
<p>ripe in late spring</p>
<p>mildly addictive</p>
<p>strange fruit is a brush size plant with small thorns. its fruit is plum size and neon blue in color with a smooth and thin skin. its flesh has a apple consistency with the taste of a overly ripened grape. about one hour after eating is when the hallucinations start, these hallucinations get worse as you take more doses (about 2 fruits). for each dose you will also get a -1 to all mind checks but because of your chaotic thoughts you will gain a +1 to all psychic saves. after 5 doses you will make a body check or OD off of the high taking a D4-1 body damage and being knocked out for a D6 hours. a dose will last about one hour before its effects ware off. the crash from the high will cause a severe panic for about 2 hours and restlessness usually that night.</p>
<p>this fruit is the main ingredient in the alchemical potion of random effect, but it keeps all of the side effects.</p>
