    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page

    I appreciate the support amigo. Thor is an Intermediate God (Divine Rank 5) which is Challenge Rating 32...albeit my CR 32 is a bit tougher than other CR 30 official monsters. Thor is equivalent to 19 Epic Tier characters. One of Thor's Divine Boons is called "Quod Damage" and increases...

    It's one of the options Drivethrurpg offer and it seemed the best fit for this project Uni.

    Yes noticed that earlier buddy I appreciate your concern mate. I am not trying to become some champion of AI Art, nor am I intentionally snubbing real artists - many of whom I have paid handsomely for their fantastic work. Just over ambition on a project got the better of me. Saw the first...

    It's not a decision made lightly Morrus, nor is it something I'd look to do in any future books. But I have painted myself into a corner on this one. Having already spent my life savings paying artists for over 100 illustrations (and you as a Publisher yourself know what that means financially...

    Its been a long time coming my friend. Thanks for the support. Yes but not in this book. As a slight aside I am considering 3 short books spinning off of the Player's Guide - so two of these you won't need to buy if you have the Player's Guide as the material will largely be the same. A. God...

    Thanks AnotherGuy amigo! :love: You'll find adding these rules super-easy. Its all modular simple templates and then you get to pick a small number of Divine Boons. After this I think the only 'hurdle' for Epic & Immortal Tier games will be the immediate lack of (challenging) Monsters - but...

    As far as I am aware I'm making the maximum profit without overcharging the Customer. My original target price was $35 (PDF) and $70 for the book - though the current exchange rate has bumped that up a little. I noticed most Publishers add about 5-10% more for Book + PDF deals). So I added £2...

    I appreciate the support Uni - should be okay for the July 1st Launch date. 🤞 Stretch Goals (replacing/commissioning more art and so forth) may impact eventual release. But we can cross that bridge when we come to it).

    Hey there GreatestHonor. I can easily have a version that just deletes any AI art and leaves a blank space - if a handful of people are interested in something like this I will make it happen. Stretch Goals to replace AI art (starting with the least re-painted) I'll try and sort out over the...

    Its very, very rare that AI coughs up something you can use right 'out of the gate'. The amount of re-work is typically a few hours (if its one character) and potentially 30+ hours for a big double page scene. I realized I needed to use AI art to finish the book when I had to split it between...

    Thanks, birthday is actually this coming Wednesday but more convenient to celebrate on the Saturday. Wish your daughter a belated Happy Birthday from me and hope she had a great day. ;) People get emotional, I understand it. I'm happy to discuss and chat about it and even mitigate things...

    I'm 52 on Wednesday amigo. :giggle: Is anyone seriously going to want a blank pages version - I just don't see it. If anyone is interested in such a thing either post in this thread or message me privately. I am happy to tie Stretch Goals with commissioning new art and replacing the AI...

    I'll get to the other replies in the morning. But just to note Drivethrurpg are handling fulfilment, so the prices listed for physical books do not count their Printing costs. The pdf is £28, the physical book (+ pdf) is £30 but then the backer chooses their preferred Print option: Standard +33...

    Bit busy (girlfriend taking me out for my birthday shortly) so a briefer response for now. But I like the idea of Stretch goals replacing AI art with new art by real artists - rather than one goal to replace all the AI art which may not be viable. Not sure about the idea of a blank pages...

    That legal issue is something you'll have to direct to AI Companies themselves - I'm not doing anything illegal. I don't see any situation where that becomes a viable option. I'm not sure if you are up to speed on the cost of fantasy art. It isn't cheap and I have already spent thousands on...

    I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, maybe catch it over the next few days. I remember seeing it and then I was busy with stuff and just forgot about it. I did really enjoy the Greek Myth "Blood Of Zeus" show on Netflix. Love their Gigantes designs and will be interesting to see the...

    Well I can't speak to those rules specifically, I think I only caught the Previews. But having tried the "Lets just keep leveling up" design approach myself 20 years ago (leading on from the Epic Level Handbook) I think you run into multiple problems. 1. Needless Complexity: Which gets even...

    Well I had Akaliches (Aka means Shadow Body in Kahuna Magic - for those that know their occult lore) in 3E. But that pales in comparison to these new Liches. Too early for spoilers Lichmaster amigo, but suffice to say the craziest bunch of liches ever unearthed. ;) In reality that was never...

    Understandable Obly amigo. I know some people are against it as was I initially. My situation was one of over ambition getting the better of me. I commissioned and licensed over 100 illustrations from real artists for this project at a cost of basically my life savings and potentially more than...

    Ahoy there lichmaster*, I must have been flying under your radar amigo! *just wait til I get to the Liches in the Bestiaries...completely new categories never before seen and crazy high-powered Liches of every new plane (of which there are 13) and dimension...in fact I might end up doing a Book...
