Goodman Games solicits input

[ShinHakkaider]

Didn't Goodman Games release an rpg called Eldritch? I don't have it but it didn't seem to make much of a splash.

Beat me to it.

Honestly, I think people who want rules light system need to find a rules light system and convert the adventures that they want to play instead of trying to shoe horn D&D 3.5 or Pathfinder into a rules light shoe.

yup my thoughts also

yes a rules light d20 system would be good to build adventures on
maby a cheap rules book 7-14 $

That there is precisely the type of savvy, discerning and informed consumer Hasbro appreciates. Make it super-size, bro.

God forbid the industry leader should have a broad appeal.

I'd love to see DCC based on any version of D&D except 4e. If it is 4e I'll continue to pass on them (loved the 3.x ones). That's just my preference, of course.

Edit: By this I mean I'd love the default to be non-4e as I'm not keen on having to reference non-4e material as a supplement.

Microlite20 is the ultimate "rules light" d20 System D&D. I've even used it to play a lot of Goodman's 3.5e DCCs.

Maybe I should talk to Joseph, I have a head start on that kind of design...

Now that would be awesome. I've read through Trailblazer and like what I see, but being that it isn't a full on RPG found that as one of its weaknesses. So my question is are you referring to Trailblazer or have you started to expand the rules with possible thoughts of re-releasing it as a full system?

+1

I bought and like Trailblazer (it's a great resource to drawn ideas from in order to fix 3.5), but I'm looking for something a little more radical/self-contained (but less radical than Microlite d20).

The challenge is to keep what worked well in 3.5 and strip out the bits that bog down the game... all while making it 3.X compatible and true to D&D's roots.

Sounds like a headache!

I am expanding Trailblazer to make it more complete, yes; taking it one piece at a time. Completing our Monsters, Spells and Magic, and Players' Options books will round out the ruleset.

What you've just described is where I thought we were headed! If you have some feedback to help me improve the design, stop by the Bad Axe Games forum and let me know.

Sounds like a headache!

Are you kidding? Sounds like a blast!

I like the sound of that and not that I don't appreciate all the different books you'll be coming out with, but I hope there will at least be a complete book later on.

Good luck if you do get to talk with Goodman.

That seems likely.

That seems... less likely.

But if Paizo has cornered the 3pp market on rich, deep content, campaign worlds and adventure paths, I'd be happy to help Goodman corner the market on beer-and-pretzels dungeon raiding.
