I am not upset by 4e - quite the opposite. Firstly, it may clear up some of my issues with the current ruleset and make me excited about the game again. Secondly, I am still a little confused after reading the rpg.net threads about the d20/OGL status of the new edition, but am hoping for...
I'm the editor on Book 1 (and I know that by saying that I'm putting a big target on my forehead :p but there we go).
For those wanting to know about maps, the cartographer on Book 1 is Jesus Barony.
People have been saying for years now that there's a d20 backlash, the 'd20 bubble' has burst, we'll see loads of d20 companies die off - usually in a mythical time called 'next year' which is always around the corner but we never quite reach.
I'm toying with using several different systems to represent a style of magic more akin to thaumaturgy in China Mievilles Bas-Lag stories, and to represent the 'potentially unlimited no. of spells but tiring' effect of magic common to many novels.
A simple system to start from: Whenever a...
I kinda watched the setting search drift by from a distance, as I had no particular interest in the extensive effort required for a reworking my favourite homebrew for a rather unlikely chance at a win. The whole thing struck me as a nice idea although I would have preferred a more interesting...
Unfortunately scanning a person into a computer doesn't actually generate a 'living' being. For all this talk of immortality we still don't fully understand a number of things about the human body and how, for instance, the brain works, so translating that across into some sort of...
I currently bring a pocket PHB and Complete Warrior, as I'm running a hexblade. Beyond that, it's pretty much just PHB and DMG (and Book of Exalted Deeds for our exalted monk, possibly, though he seems to know those rules off by hear anyway).
As a note, when I've come across Dusk material or I've seen you mention it before, the only parts I ever really seemed to encounter were to do with the 5 colour magic system, which is interesting enough but didn't inspire me to check out the Dusk setting as a whole (which I have to admit, I...
I believe that this is the kind of thing that the revision of the campaign is trying to achieve; I'm not sure what role the human sacrifice thing will have in the Horned God campaign but as the aim is, AFAIK, to make it fully 3.5 compatible, my guess is it will certainly not have much emphasis...
I'll have to check on how much I can say about the Horned God at the moment, and I'm not the editor involved in that project, but I might be able to shed a little bit of light on it for you - what do you want to know? :)
Well, I'm not single, but my girl is going to be on the other side of the UK on Valentines day, and we've both got work to go to on that day anyway. So it's going to be pretty much a normal day for me, except I believe I've got a Star Wars game scheduled for the evening which is likely to be a...
