Does gladiatorial combat and gambling count as sports? Actually, the Expansion Kit has new townie professions for wrestling, boxing, etc as appropriate to the pseudo-Victorian time period. Also, some say that hunting people is the greatest, most dangerous sport of all. ;-)

HAPPINESS :-)

Compliments are always welcome, especially at Christmastime :-) Playability was the issue for me. I was bored spending 3 hours resolve a simple combat. I lacked the many hours needed to make NPCs, etc to prep 3.5/Pathfinder adventures (and I prefer running my own adventures, even though I enjoy...

Here's the cover art by Eric Lofgren for the "Butcher of Braggarton" adventure, written by Daniel Marshall. Inside, there's both electrotech and occult magic alla pactmaking. (BTW, for any romance language speakers here, would pactmaking be male or female? I'm thinking it's a female word.)

By the way, the Radiance RPG thread on RPG dot net is pretty active with ideas for electrotech for the Expansion Kit. New devices and vehicles is basically the last chapter to do. Kudos to those who are bringing in some great stuff. If anyone would like to contribute device ideas here, feel free...

Khaalis, thank you for your thoughtful response and the extensive list of games. I'd never be able to put that together!

For a game with a strong element of romance, it's appropriate. You know, stuff for adults. Your loss.

Version "T" of the Players guide is now ready for hardcopy orders at "DriveThruRPG". As always, the PDF version remains FREE.

Version "T" of the Radiance Players Guide is now uploaded to DriveThruRPG. The hardcover will soon be available for ordering in the new version. The changes are numerous and small and include fixed typos, new abilities for some classes, occasional ability name changes, and rule tweaks. Thank...

And yet 3 more kits, all nonmagical as usual, acquired during downtime to help embed the PC in the world. Fine Craftsperson (Dex) You spend your days creating fine wares. Craft Speciality: Select 1 skill based on Dexterity, Intelligence or Wisdom such as Arcana, Literacy...

Thanks Khaalis!

Interesting... 3.5/Pathfinder assume more wealth and magic items than Radiance. That might impact treasure finds, particularly at mid to higher levels. Progression is flatter in Radiance, but I think Pathfinder adventures do a good job of accounting of possible uses of teleport, scrying...

Thank you for posting the continuing adventures! I particularly appreciate how the PCs are advancing themselves based on their experiences, such as Jonas multiclassing into ranger to reflect the challenges of undead and Survival checks. Here are a few comments: -- In Radiance RPG, all...

This is awesome! :) You may have actually pushed me to run a Pathfinder adventure (I read them but don't run them) using Radiance RPG, as I've been too lazy to convert one. Two questions: a) I see you went with level-0 and level-1 PCs, rather than "townies". Was this for the sake of balance...

You've got a year: Do you plow and herd on a big parcel of "free" land as a homesteader, meditate and study at a church, or retreat into the wilderness for simple living with animal friends? Here are 3 more kits for Radiance RPG. Iron Homesteader (Con) You manage a farm, which...

Glad to hear. The goal is to make downtime more enticing and meaningful so that a campaign can run over a decade or more of game time, see characters raise families, expand their holdings, etc. The next campaign I run will, from the start, explicitly incorporate kits. PCs can take the kits...

Here are 3 more kits: Racial Exemplar (Cha) You embody everything that makes your race special. Bonus Racial Attributes: Add +2 to an attribute for which your race has a bonus, and apply -1 to an attribute where your race has a penalty. If your race does not have both an...

How will spend your Downtime in your Radiance RPG campaign? The Radiance Expansion Kit will, of course, come with "kits". Inspired by 2nd edition, a PC can take a kit during "downtime" between adventures before, during, and/or after his or her career. Here are the current kits: Ardent...

In this case, coincidentally, each challenge is worth -2 design points (though I'm traveling and going from memory). While some them -- bound by silver and weak with silver -- might seem less problematic, the introduction to the immortals section (not posted here) -- makes it fairly easy for...

Great question. Pages 16 and 17 of the Masters Guide describe how to build new races, classes, and themes. Here's the entry on basic tier abilities: Basic Tier: Offer at least 15 basic abilities. Refer to existing classes for inspiration. Here are guidelines: Feats: A feat here means a...
