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

    By the way guys I tweaked a few things on my Unit/Swarm rules and I think I have completely nailed the simplest, quickest possible Mass Combat rules for 5e imaginable. I have about 10 epic summoning spells in the book and four currently use the new Swarm Unit rules (for groups of 100+), each...

    Cheers. Was thinking... 5 books (Cover A) + 1 book (Cover B) + 1 Book (Cover C) + PDFs + Miniature STLs = £125 (save £100).

    I appreciate the support Morrus. Been on here 25 years now, virtually half my life; I'm sure you're in much the same boat. Time flies doesn't it! :) Well as noted: 1. I will have a completely AI free Artists Sketch Edition version (not shown on the Pre-Launch page yet because the new Sketch...

    Thing is, each book is a different price. So I can't exactly have a one tier fits all. My reasoning for grouping the two colour Covers was those books will have some AI art. So those totally against AI art are more likely to buy the Artist Sketch Edition. Whereas completionists might snap up...

    That's what makes me think just having extra copies as Add-ons is the way to go. Rather than 4 new tiers of each configuration.

    ...have you seen both within the same Kickstarter though? If I just set Additional Copies of the books as Add-ons at a -£5 discount then that should cover it. I think had I got a Slipcase option maybe such a Tier would have made sense. But I guess I could have: Sidereal Tier £60 = 2...

    Quick Kickstarter Question - is it worthwhile me having separate Backer Tiers for people who want either both Colour Covers, or All Three covers (including the B&W Artist Sketch version*) or should I simply allow additional copies as Add-ons? *Which is actually starting to look good. If the...

    July 1st is the date when the Kickstarter begins. I should have the writing finished by the end of the Kickstarter. 🤞 But its possible Stretch Goals and the Artist Sketch Edition might add 4-6 weeks to Production. With the Print versions shipping 4-6 weeks after that. So PDFs in around...

    Yes it will and it has its own illustration too! :cool:

    Superman is probably the trickiest character to pin down since he has the most showings and his main Superpower is heroism so he always wins in the end. Additionally, DC Comics are crazy about just boosting all their characters by virtually any factor should the story warrant it. However. By...

    In my experience no long form entertainment has consistent logical power scaling. But making these things consistent and logical is basically what I do for fun. ;) So while no system will be 100% accurate it can still be the best fit for for each verse. My goal with these rules is to create a...

    Once you crack the matrix that is 5e D&D damage the whole thing scales into place. Of course it might seem weird at first that a planet only has 5000 HP or whatever, but with Damage Threshold and Gravitational Regeneration you won't be blowing one up until you are ready to.

    That's a fairly common trope in comic books as well.

    Outliers are very common in all such discussions. But they are not something I would hang any Verse framework upon. If course my system doesn't need to tone anything down. So you can pick any interpretation you want amigo. My preference for these sort of things is to take the most logical and...

    I don't know enough about what was going on to say who is wrong or right on the matter. My general opinion would be to default back to the 'Space Cheese' excuse rather than have Piccolo jump from mere Kiloton power to Moon-shattering power within the span of two narrative episodes. I agree...

    I think I mentioned it before, but I have a few nods to Mystara in the book - one of which is (IMO) awesome and answers what happened to those Hierarchs who gave up their immortal power and then made it back to Hierarch status only to be swarmed by Blackballs...and vanish? Could also show the...

    In Versus debates there is a term called "Space Cheese" that often applies in these situations. I just watched the whole fight, we can clearly see the effect of the Special Beam Cannon on a mountaintop - its clearly (at best) low Kiloton Range and no better than that. Here is a high-rated...

    No need to go smaller than tiny because of the Sliding Scale of my new system. Just change from metres to millimetres to have 'Huge' size Giga-Fleas. Or go from metres to micrometers to fight Blood Cells. Drop down further and battle DNAngels, Virus Hydras and so forth. I'll have all that...

    Yes. I detailed these in the Player's Guide (even though its more apropos for the Bestiary). Just to clarify these are vastly simplified from my 3.5E sizes and are deliberately vague on the exact number of feet. For instance a creature might be 'Mountainous' = Mountain-sized, or 'Galactic' =...

    ...looking into it a bit more... Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon - which killed Raditz was (at that point) akin to a low yield nuke. Splitting the difference (between 1 KT and 1 MT) lets say 30 Kilotons = 735 damage by my rules. I have rules for that in the book. If he was Hypersonic he would...
