On esp/premonitions – I’m skeptical; I think what’s most likely happening in most cases is synapses misfiring while the brain is doing some sort of pattern recognition based on previous experiences.

On Warren’s dream – has you been reading up on pregnancy/labour complications just before going to bed? It’s possible that something you’d read got lodged in your subconscious and that dream was your brain’s way of working it out, and similarly the unease you felt the next night was your subconscious picking up on signs your conscious mind was missing and the ‘feeling’ you were getting was just your subconscious’ way of prodding your conscious mind to alert it to something being up.

AoM spells – got to agree, for something called ‘Burning’ that’s really underwhelming; I’d expect Burning to be a persistent damage effect.

“Why wouldn’t I learn your spells” – yet again I’m going to have to disagree with Lloyd here; this would depend entirely on the setting. Not every setting has wizards being able to learn every spell for a variety of reasons; for example usually things like Necromancy are forbidden lore, so most wizards aren’t going to learn necromantic spells. Also, most spellcasters are mortal, with a mortal mind and a mortal life span so are physically incapable of learning the entirety of magic – think of it like Science; no scientist knows the entirety of Science – a nuclear physicist wouldn’t know the first thing about brain surgery, a brain surgeon wouldn’t have a clue when it comes to Topography, etc, yet all fall under the umbrella of Science. Similarly a Fire Mage is probably not going to bother learning healing magic, a healer isn’t going to learn alchemy, and so on.

Seen or Unseen – would the test be effected by whether or not the wizard has misplaced his glasses? ?

Power pool – you could do something similar to how the recently released Thousand Sons are handelled in the Horus Heresy Legion card game app. In it various cards generate Warp Charges and they generate them at the start of your turn and these Charges go into a pool that you can bank up or spend as you want, so you could throw out a low Charge power every turn or bank them up over several turns to cast a powerful power and some powers can be ‘chained’ so you can keep casting (eg there’s one which does 1-2 damage to a random enemy and you can cast it over and over until you chose to stop or run out of Charges at which point the card is discarded).

Spell matrix – shouldn’t there be a mineral after vegetable? ?

I’m with Justin on having a list of things that can be done; unless I’m misunderstanding something, ‘Create Fire’ is the same for creating a little camp fire as it is for creating a ball of plasma as hot as the Sun in terms of what you roll to create but those will have radically different effects and the players then have to have a back and forth over what actually happens. I think what would be better would be to have a list/table of basic effects and a note on how to enhance them (eg create fire gives you a ball of fire that does X damage and for each additional die damage increases by Y. And you could possibly include exploding 6s in there so if you roll a 6 for your boost roll damage goes up by Y and you get to roll another die which doesn’t come out of your power pool).

Digital ticket for the Hobby Camp sounds like a nice idea. Not something I’d take advantage of personally as I don’t have weekends free (have D&D on Saturdays and my local games club meets on Sundays), but sounds like a great idea for those who can’t make the physical camp. As an additional idea, maybe throw the relevant codex into what people get?
