Measures and metrics (Talislanta)

Page history last edited by Kirk 13 years, 9 months ago

For now, I'll just point you to Torben Morgensen's time and measures write-up at the Yahoo Group. It's called Talislantatime.pdf

 

Unit of Time

 

beat

 

breath

 

verse

 

break

watch

 

day

 

Length

7 beats

7 breaths

7 verses

7 breaks

7 glasses

7 watches

Earthly Equivalent

 

0.75s

5.25s

36.75s

~ 4m 17s

~ 30m

~ 3h  30m

~ 1d  30m

 

Implications for Talislancisco:

  • Combat rounds are one breath long (about 5 seconds)
  • Basic spell durations are two verses long (14 rounds)
  • One hex on the battlemat is seven Phaedran feet across (about 1.75m). This is meant to have zero impact on game mechanics, just on conversion to Terran standards. I'll get around to changes on Ranged Attacks some fine day, but not now.
