I noticed that as well but have no idea. I feel like the whole project has been cloaked in darkness and they could have really benefitted from a central location with very simple and brief daily announcements. I still have no clue whether my submissions from a couple weeks ago were of any...

Well here I am again. Does anyone know of any centralized location where a discussion of this project is happening? This is the only place I've seen on the matter. Anyway, I'm seeing the spreadsheet slowly update but still not hearing any notifications from folks running it. Has anyone here...

Just got a reply to an email I sent last week saying they had a lot of stuff coming in and had gotten a slow start on it. So we should start hearing some notifications and see the spreadsheet updating soon.

I'm curious to know that as well. Some of my submissions are a week old now, I haven't heard anything and the spreadsheet hasn't reflected them. Can't get a response via the provided email either. Has anyone heard anything?

I'm holding off for now. I've submitted 3 scans so far and haven't received any notifications and I haven't seen the spreadsheet update in the couple of days I've been checking. There's no way of knowing how many scans are waiting to be checked at this point and I'm not keen on committing more...

Okay, thanks Primitive. I appreciate the info and I'll see what I can dig up.

Hmmm...never heard of Elements of Magic but I just checked out the link and its blurb. Thanks. Its hard to get a good feel for what its offering though. Can you give me any details? How complicated is the process of casting? How much does it slow play? How similar is it to The Black...

For those of you who have switched to spell point system, either a published alternative or one of your own devise, how has it affected your game? With spell points the possibility exists for a magic user to top load or bottom load his arsenal throughout the day, providing him with quite a few...

Now, that was simple enough. Its a clear definition which should put us all on the same page for the discussion. By the definition its clear the events occurring in an RPG are not storytelling and, as MM has been saying, cannot become a story until the retelling of them. I'm extremely...

Holy Cow, I just picked this thread up this morning and have spent some time catching up. This thread has went absolutely no where and has taken three pages to get there, with one side debating an RPG philosophy and the other arguing semantics. But its been interesting! :) I was hooked with...

Just for the record, Burning Wheel has a ton of skills, much more than D&D3.5. And a very detailed list of traits. It doesn't equate to a ton of bookkeeping though because for the most part folks have less than 15 skills in which their character is officially trained. The hefty skill list...

I voted 5th, because that's when I've historically been capable of really opening up plot and utilizing interesting opponents. My whole group has always preferred the 1-7 range. And most people find this a little weird but in 20 years of playing D&D we've never started at anything other than...

Hi guys, I've been recently converted from D&D to Burning Wheel as well. Matter of fact, it was my first look at anything other than D&D so I had 20 years of D&D in my head to sweep around so that I could come to grips with Burning Wheel. Its an awesome game. Its a different game. I don't...

Seriously. I'll go ahead and bite hard and give you the reaction you obviously wanted zeo_evil. I'm in the middle of reading it and you've ruined what I'm assuming should have been a crucial moment. Damn, I don't even read dust jacket sleeves or chapter headings in the table of contents, just...

Interesting poll MetalBard, I'm curious to see how it goes. My coming to Burning Wheel was sort of a long drawn out process. I'd played D&D for 20 years and finally was ready to take a look at some other things. At the time, (about five months ago or so) I didn't even know what ENWorld was...
