Fantasy Concepts: An OGL Fantasy Saga Project

[Flynn]

Another Status Update...

Because of recent work concerns, I haven't had the opportunity to work on the magic and spell sections like I would have preferred. However, I am making an effort to get that section done by Thursday, in hopes of still meeting our deadline.

With Regards,
Flynn

Flynn,

Are you by chance the author of the PDF floating around out there of the SW Saga fantasy conversion?

Flynn,

I think, you're thinking of The_Gneech and his Sword and Sorcery SAGA (which is very good by the way, but you need SWSAGA to really use his stuff).

Cheers, LT.

Flynn,

Nope, that's not me, that's The_Gneech. I like his work, but as Lord Trinian says above, you need SECR to use it properly. Also, it's more Sword & Sorcery, a good style, but one that doesn't capture the manner in which D&D is usually portrayed. The_Gneech worked on his project about the same time I started this one, if that helps with the timeline.

Personally, I'm looking for a more complete OGL version of some Fantasy Saga rules that will let you play D&D with much the same feel as Saga, even if some rules are different due to legal issues. Soon after starting the project on my own, EditorBFG chimed in, revealing that Big Finger Games was also considering such a project, and offered to join forces. We've been collaborating off and on ever since. (That's mostly due to EditorBFG's being sick and also having to focus on his Real Life job, which is perfectly understandable.)

We are still looking at getting done with the main draft by the end of the month. I'm working on Magic and Spells tonight, and he's working on Talents, Races and Prestige Classes. I will definitely keep you guys appraised of things as we move forward, and I look forward to getting this out to you guys as soon as we possibly can.

With Regards,
Flynn

Good Evening, My Friends:

The Magic draft, which includes notes on spell conversion, has been completed. It appears that my work, at least on the initial draft is done.

• Class-based Talent Paths: EditorBFG is nearing completion.

The latest update from EditorBFG from this weekend:

Well, on my end, the good news I have been working. The bad news is, I haven't been in front of my PC for more than 20 minutes this week, so I have been doing talents in a very messy binder. Still, they are practically done, and therefore I may be able to send you something tonight or tomorrow.

Hoping to hear something from him soon,
Flynn
