[QUOTE="ha-gieden, post: 3375992, member: 50207"] "Is it similar to some japanese animie in the sense the magic is almost more like super powers than 'casting' spells?" Yes, it is similiar to anime in that "spells" do not require special chants or components. Energy is channeled through the caster, molded by the caster's personality and will, then released into the world. "What about mutations or mutants?" The only thing similiar to mutatants are people who carry a "Taint". A Taint is when you have lost control of your magic, and the part of you that you were channelling through has been destroyed and replaced by a Nuameii. For instance, someone channeling by focusing the energy through an outstretched hand could lose that hand if they lost control of their magic. The hand would be replaced by the corresponding part of the Nuameii that bonded with them upon their first magical mishap. Needless to say, the Tainted are not welcome in most societies...they are considered reckless and potentially dangerous. People are never sure how much hold the Nuameii has over the person. "What time period does it take place in, how destroyed is earth?" The time period is not exactly set in stone; that is mostly up to the GM. The basic idea is that "The Breaking" happened only about 10 years after our current time. GM's can set a campaign at any time before, during, or after that point. The novel that was the inspiration for the game took place about 150 years after "The Breaking", and the modules included with the main sourcebook take place about 50 years after that. Earth itself takes no damage during The Breaking; mankind, technology, and society are what take the brunt of the damage. "I'm not really familar with d10, how different is it from d20?" I use ten-siders with the system that I created. It's a new system. People can use the conversion ideas given in the sourcebook if they would prefer to use my concepts but continue to play under their current system, whether it's a "build" system like Mage, a "card" system like Deliria offers, or a "roll" system like D&D. "So... who's your publisher? Any web link?" My publisher for "Gieden" and the novel "The Queen's Hound" is Windstorm Creative, at [url]www.windstormcreative.com[/url] . They have a roleplay division called Immortal Day, and my game is listed there. This publisher has been very easy to work with and pay a good royalty. My books will be available at several major outlets, including Barnes and Nobles (online and on the shelves), Amazon, and whatnot. Of course, right now my books are in the "Pre-order" stage; you can order them, but you won't get them until they are officially released. The cover art and other info isn't even up yet; the webcopy people aren't always up to date. I have to speak with those guys soon, as my work is currently listed as OGL or D20 (which it is not, though as I have said, it can easily be converted), and it is currently *GASP* misspelled. I have sent them an E-mail about this and expect it to be resolved shortly. If it's not, I'll give them a call. I know that recently they have fast tracked a LOT of books, and are busy with those.
