Not much to talk about in the last week and for a bit forward - been organizing all my resources: Adventure modules for PF, 3.5, 3.0; Dungeon and Dragon Magazines; and hundreds of rule PDFs I got for both systems over the years (and that was a lot of money, still cheaper than the books though)...

I voted no change. But that isn't a fair vote. Spelljammer is, by far, my favorite published setting from any company, ever. It's the only setting I played strait out of the box without major changes in over 40 years of gaming, So I am willing to pay a lot more for that setting than any other (I...

I see why you make the clarification, and I agree Voidrunners is for pure Science Fiction. I've played with crossed system/setting for decades (I play HERO and I've playing in almost every genre in my own setting, Cypher same, merged Rolemaster and Spacemaster for a science fantasy game... So...

I got level up and was very impressed with it, but gaming went back to pathfinder. And I love SF so I was really looking forward to voidrunner's codex, but it is bit hard to justify buying a book for a system we are not playing. Then the Spelljammer announcement today. And Spelljammer was our...

Mine would be: Fighter Wizard Rogue Cleric. I'd look to add in something outside the box than those. Psionic Artificiar. Now the other thing I would do - is that with each class is so broad, There is really strong support for multiclassing so you could build a Paladin with Cleric/Fighter...

Here is splitting hair. I tend to want to play for immersion, so I like to have the only impact on the gameworld, in play, is the actions of my character. But I tend to really invest in the character and the world... so if someone preferred to play as I do, but completely open to that kind of...

Today I will be discussing a class I call The Armsman. This ties into something I mentioned in passing upthread - I LOVE the Path of War System - although being been a hardcore immersionist I didn't really like it early on - same issues with Bo9S (with Path of War was a re-implementation of) and...

Long post, splitting it up. I then went after the class abilities from other classes. Once that split was figured out it was just going through and deciding how many and what levels each of them were. I ended up with 3 raising with level, at 1,3,5 and 2nd and every even level gaining basic...

Figured out how to handle a class that has been bugging me for years. I've wanted a skill based class that wasn't bard or rogue. Archeologist came close. Then third party options - a number that basically had a mechanic that you built multiple mini characters and swapped them - again didn't like...

The posted the 1 million dollar stretch goal - they are going to include sound files with the kickstarter, read by the guys that do the podcast. Bits of adventure description, monsters, items etc. That is awesome (as a fan of the podcast too).

The last half week or so I worked on finalizing two "chapters" I guess you could call them. Two classes. I have been working on this project by just fiddling with it for years, so I have lots of stuff collated, organized to be collated, copied into files, classes 90% built, but I had not...

Grendel_Khan has the right of it. There was a choice when you pledged to get which system, and when fans wondered about both, they made an add on to do both. I went with Cypher.

I'm a huge Cypher guy, so far have all the Cypher specific books, and the core rules for all the standalone games using the Cypher System (Yeah, I'm a collector, and that is what the wife and I decided I could collect, so I don't go overboard). Just finished the Tidal Blades one (I just got the...

I was working on a strange class today, and had a couple of epiphanies. The initial idea for this came to me years ago - as we use "triple gestalt" to make sure solo characters cover all the necessary roles in the party, I had a couple of character ideas that only needed 2 classes to cover for...

The talented classes were also a huge thing for me... again by Owen K.C. Stephens originally with later books being other writers but still RGG. I bring these up as they are a big part of how I approach game design, but specifically two books of stuff that were published by Dreamscarred Press...

After the last post, it got me thinking - from here on out, if I am discussing a specific piece of work that I am modifying I'll post a link, assuming the item is available for sale. Seems only fair, that if I got use of something to give back in what little way I can. ;)

The Magister a class by Rogue Genius Games by Owen K.C. Stephens*. (Note the link, if you might be interested from my description it is well worth the money, and it is NOT an affiliate link, just a link because I love the class so much. This is an early attempt to make a combined arcane/divine...

Sorry, I was assuming mature players that didn't pull crap like that. If a player won't play the character, I don't think the GM or the game system should force them to, at that point find new players. No gaming is better than bad gaming.

It looks like you have misunderstood my point. Lets say I have a character who has a personality trait of "overprotective of young women" - I decide that the reason the character has the trait is that he has a little sister somewhere. It's there to flesh out a character and nothing else. There...

There are other uses for NPCs, perhaps I wanted my character to have sister for background, and to inform the personality of the character, not because I want them used as a threat against my character... who by his own actions and personality will live himself vulnerable for an interesting and...
