I've heard some plausible scenarios where the need to change could be out of their hands, but none where it sneaks up on them this suddenly.

I have posted a detailed example of character creation, including a legible Destiny Wheel, over at RPGGeek (scroll down, or follow the link at the end of the first post). Check it out!

Cadence, I'm not the original target of the above post, but for my own part my responses would be as follows: A: Unproblematic. B: Nothing you have specifically described them as doing strikes me as the least bit unethical, or indeed, as differing in any significant respect from what you...

I'll be doing a Mobius-strip shaped world with some of these elements for Fantasy Infinity. That may or may not be close enough to what you're looking for. It might not be out soon enough for your liking, though - we're still (counts on fingers...) nine, really closer to ten, months from my...

When I wanted more of a Knights of the Old Republic feel (melee is common, and at least as good as ranged a lot of the time) rather than the default SWSE feel (based on the movies, where melee is rare), I simply added a die of damage to each melee weapon, as well as adding a few additional melee...

Default Setting (and a general update) I've been very busy this past week educating myself on the business side of starting a company. For example, I've secured the name "Philosoraptor Game Studio" as well as learning a LOT about marketing, taxes, and other business necessities and...

Really? A lot of Rich's plot twists have taken me completely by surprise but this was not one of them, largely for the reason Tarquin gives in the third-from-last panel. The only question was whether Tarquin was going to do the honours himself or merely stand by while someone else did.

Morrus says he neglected to turn on comments for this article, and invited me to start one, so I feel a certain responsibility to do so :-). I know that every year, these awards at least somewhat affect my "shopping list" of RPGs, and to a lesser extent games in general, that I want to pick up...

Are you supposed to be able to comment on the front-page story on the ENNies' winners? Because you can't, or at least I can't. There is a link saying "0 comments - be the first to comment!" that suggests you should be able to, but there is no place to actually type a comment on the page it takes...

The core mechanic The Standard Roll Most actions involve making a Standard Roll, which consists of rolling some number of six-sided dice and counting the number of successes. A “success” is an individual die that get at least a certain number, usually 5 for defending yourself in combat and 4 for...

Overview Here’s an overview of some of the game’s major elements, emphasizing the aspects that differ from what you might expect based on other RPGs (especially the D&D family). As with many other TRPGs, the most detailed rules are those for character creation (and advancement) and for combat...

NOTE ADDED AUG 2, 2015: If my sig took you here, know that this thread is pretty old. Most of what's in it still applies, but most of the action is at http://philosoraptorgames.com/ now. If you've got comments on anything related to Fantasy Infinity, I'd love to see them over there! I'd put...

I'm sure I'm not doing myself any favours by neglecting this thread, but this week has been busy primarily with becoming more educated about the business side of what I plan to do. Today in particular, there was little time for the creative side. No later than Saturday, however, I plan to start...

I think one reason for the lack of responses might just be that it's a genuinely difficult question. At the moment I don't have a bunch of candidate names I'm choosing between or anything like that... I'm just plain stuck on that point. As far as describing the game better, the best way to do...

Hey, sorry I didn't get back to this thread earlier! My gaming priorities have shifted pretty hard to the new system I'm writing, but that's not to deny that I'm still interested in BFRPG or the OSR in general. PM me if you're interested in getting together. I often go to the Second Cup on...

Hello, ENWorld! I am working on a new RPG, a heroic fantasy game inspired chiefly by the various Final Fantasy games, particularly 1, 4, 5 and 10. It is not a d20 game or otherwise based mechanically on any version of D&D - the core mechanic is a d6-based die pool - and it should, if I'm doing...

EDIT: (Never mind, my mistake)

I'm fairly sure Rich has said nothing of the sort.
