I'm curious about the game (and I almost always try to support as many Indy publishers as I can) and will certainly give it a look, but I think that HackMaster already does this. And from what I've read of the PHB and Hacklopedia of Beasts, I can't imagine another game doing it better than...

My shelf has diminished a bit as I have sold almost all my 3E books... However I still have every core D&D book from 1E until 4E. I have... all of the 3E Ravenloft books most of the Scarred land books all of the 3E Oriental Adventure books all of the Iron Kingdoms books The Troll Lords...

Hi folks - odds are you've seen some of the recent threads about the game HackMaster. A lot of people (myself included) are very enthusiastic about this game and in getting new players to try it out. That said, there are quite a number of online HackMaster games, using programs like MapTools...

Just so you know, DSK posted on Facebook (you can follow HackMaster there) that, as the PHB nears completion, the offer to receive the pdf for free will expire sometime soon. HM pdfs are pricey - it's about $40 for the HoB - so getting it for free is a pretty sweet deal.

Excellent feedback, Face, although I think he already owns HMb and said in the OP that he likes it quite a bit. :)

Yes, big time. HackMaster is a tremendously fun game. The complete version - containing the HoB, PHB and soon the GMG - is extremely high quality with modular rules and a ton of things for both old and new school gamers to love. The benefits of the PHB compared with the Basic book are...

A big reason they pre-released the alpha/beta PHB was for the players of the game to submit feedback. Part of that is definitely organizational stuff. A lot of the gamers participating are providing incredibly detailed thoughts and the feedback itself has been very well organized. So... I have...

Awesome! You've come to KODT at a good time. On top of the strips, which remain at an outstanding level, Jolly has been working on a series of articles about the Dobo Spine, a HackMaster setting in the Kingdoms of Kalamar. They also release statted NPCs in every issue, all of which are...

lol even when I was a new player it never took "a couple of hours" to fill a character sheet. Once you know the game you can do it in about 20 minutes. Or you can use the QSG to do it in 5. I've played in 4 groups and none of us have ever found combat to be too long or at all fiddly. In any...

Glad to have been of help, btw. Whatever your final choice, I hope you have many long hours of great gaming ahead of you!

You're quite welcome! Incidentally, I see that you live in Tennessee. I was down your way a couple of years ago; Nashville has a handful of very good gaming shops. Greylond (who posted above in this thread) lives in Memphis and helps organize gaming conventions in his area every year. If you...

I presume that you saw the thread below in which I posted a link to the HackMaster QuickStart Guide. It's goals are somewhat different from the Pathfinder Beginner's Box, but I'd welcome you to compare the two factoring in that one is free. :) You could probably squeeze 3 to 4 sessions out of...

Thanks, Treebore. Whether you know it or not, you were directly responsible for the creation of this guide. I know how much of a fan you were of the A&8's Basic chapter, and that was the starting point for the HackMaster QSG. Just so you know, I'm quite confident that the PHB and GMG are...

Forgive the self-promotion, but I'd solicited feedback from folks in this forum while I was writing this, and thought it'd be nice to share it now that it is ready. This is a link to the page containing the HackMaster QuickStart Guide - it has everything you need if you'd like to try out the...

Greetings. I've been running a HackMaster campaign on MapTools for about 10 months now. Due to a few unfortunate circumstances (health and the pursuit of a PhD), I'm losing a couple of my players. I could recruit on the Kenzer forums, but I'd love to welcome some HackMaster rookies to try out...

The way I see it, 5eDnD is going to have a lot of problems unifying anything. They certainly want to win back the audience that Pathfinder currently controls ... but Pathfinder is a great game that is extremely well-supported. They also certainly would like to recapture the interest of the Old...

I'm tracking a lot of this discussion here, elsewhere and on Twitter* ... it really seems like the game that people want to play is an awful lot like HackMaster. Games with... No dragon born or tiefling in the core book Bring back half-Orcs and gnomes Bring back the exploration feel, not all...

I get the feeling that KenzerCo would want nothing to do with any kind of 4e clone. They are working very hard on HackMaster, with the published results looking amazing.

Bump - I have sent some preliminary copies to folks and, since then, have actually finished the entire project. I'm waiting on word from the higher ups as to whether or not it's actually ready for prime time, but I will likely send out one last copy to those who have contacted me. If you could...

And just so's folks have an idea of what it looks like right now... While fully formatted and numbered, we haven't added the monster, glossary, index, or a few other little things that we're hoping to include in the "final" version. But any future edition of the product will have some bells...
