Does Magic Matter?

In fantasy games, particularly fantasy RPG's, the level and frequency of magic do a lot to define the world.  When you say how common magic is, you say a lot about the world.  One of the real issues isn't how common magic is, it's how common simple magical effects are, and the reality is that, while it matters a lot, so long as the effort to make magic makes sense compared to its frequency, it doesn't really matter at all.

Golden Gargant 2015 Painting and Hobby Scoring System

I present to you the 2015 Painting and Hobby scoring system for the Golden Gargant at KublaCon 2015.

A single option is marked in each category save for options who's points are in parentheses which are taken in addition to the rest of the category's scoring; putting the maximum hobby score at 32 points. You may notice it looks a lot like last year's hobby rubric, and you'd be right! Save for one minor wording change it's identical. For those who would like a PDF copy of the rubric you'll find one here.

Cheers and happy painting!
