Seregal looks around the bridge, staring into the distance. "I wonder where this goes?" he asks Ohm. He carefully teeters back and forth, and is lucky that he's trained in balancing. He squints down at the commotion below. "Echo? Duncan?" he calls out. "Is everything all right?" He...

Seregal keeps sneaking along the path, not really noticing that Xaion has been kidnapped! He's too excited by the final approach the city and his chance to scout and explore the road; absently trusting the fine warriors in the party to deal with the situation; thinking that the chronal feeders...

Hi Morrus, One of my players got creative and let me know how he'd design N.E.W's career system! He's designed his own systems before and enjoys tinkering with systems and builds. I don't know how useful you'll find it as you're only supposed to point what isn't working during playtesting, as...

It's based on the Mongoose Traveller adventure, although heavily modified. When I run published adventures, I improvise a lot and it drifts quite a bit away from the source material. I think it's a great idea for a sandbox, and will see what the PCs start to do when pressure is applied! Movie...

Thanks for getting back to me. I've just got some more clarifications to your responses! Does REP, LUC and TECH start at 0 or 2? Can you tighten this up in the next draft and include more examples? I know you want to keep it open for GM decisions, but I didn't find enough information in the...

Seregal sneaks along cautiously, hand reaching into his belt pouch for one of his cyphers. "Good idea," he says. "I'm reasonably quick. I'll see what I can see." He cautiously moves forward, scouting out the area to see if he can find a safe way forward for the group. Trained in Stealth...

We've started our 'Prison Planet' mini-campaign to test N.E.W, and to give us a mental break before we finish up our high level 4E D&D campaign. A short session write-up is here. Below is the feedback I have from the character creation and short first session. GM comments: It was hard to...

These short, brusque notes are related our mini-campaign of N.E.W. set in the most infamous prison in the Empire! I held a movie marathon to get the players in the mood, which included Chronicles of Riddick, Alien 3 and Cube. System notes are here. In the first session, the players made up...

Seregal blinks at the situation, but eventually shakes out his fugue. He quickly holds up his shortbow with trembling fingers and fires an arrow at one of the feeders. I fire an arrow at the feeder! Will spend a level of Speed effort. 1d20=14

Seregal looks down at the dark key in his hands, and with a sigh, puts it away, its wonderful magic spent unexpectedly. Then he rubs his hands together with glee. So close to the city! So many secrets to explore and unlock! He's busy daydreaming about his discoveries but then he sees the...

Is it possible to get regular updates or more information about the status of ENWorld's publishing projects? While the communication around OLD/NEW has been very good, I'm not sure what's happening with the 4E version of To Slay a Dragon. I'm also not sure what the publishing schedules are for...

OOC: I choose the intrusion! Somewhat delayed. Give my 1 XP to Echo for trying to resolve the last encounter without too much undo violence :) Seregal sighs. "I'm glad we resolved that peacefully. It's a shame the Augur had to die." He scratches at his scruffy beard. It's itching in the heat...

Back from holiday. Sigh. I will update tonight!

With regard to the more choices, I believe he was thinking of fewer careers, but with more choice of exploits and stat upgrades within each one. Is it also possible to change the name of the Space Jockey career to 'Spacer' or to make it have a bit more gravitas? As most of the cool space...

We're planning a short playtest of N.E.W. in September, as a break from our D&D campaign. I was going to round up all the comments after September, but one player has made a character so far and given some feedback. I did an audit to check up on his build. Some of this might be of interest to...

I'll be away until about the week beginning 25 August; going on holiday to the UK and Iceland! I won't be able to post, so have a good time and I'll see you all when I get back.

Seregal rubs at his scruffy beard, hoping to calm the situation before things get too violent. "I understand that your treatment of your servant is because you may have memory problems. The more you draw from him, the worse he gets, because he can't help you. But that's not his fault. Your...

Seregal raises his hands. "Everyone hold off while we sort this out!" He looks at the Augur. "Er, look, apologies for the actions of my cohorts. What we find is that this fellow over here appears to be hurt, and we'd like an explanation of what's going on. What's a duracha, for example? What...

Seregal raises his hands and smiles diplomatically. "What my companion means is, well, let's discuss any religious or social issues we may have infringed upon, and let's see if we can sort things out peacefully between everyone here." Trained in Diplomacy: 1d20=14

Looks good - One idea is that could we get a Social Defence score as well, for a 'social combat' mechanic? This simulates long debates and arguments and would be useful for games around diplomacy and politics. Sort of like Piccard giving one of his moral speeches, or when he's debating...
