    Even 1E technically had Intermediate Deities - they were just called Greater Deities who were not the Pantheon Heads. I have 30* Divine Ranks, I just didn't list them all. ;) 30 Divine Ranks sort of paralleled the 30 Challenge Ratings of the Core Rules. *42 if we count my Hypothetical...

    Epic Tier Divine Rank 0 = Epic Tier Character Divine Rank 1 = Hero-deity* Divine Rank 2 = Quasi-deity* *Divine Ranks 1 & 2 are considered Godlings, not full immortals Immortal Tier Divine Rank 3 = Demi-deity Divine Rank 4 = Lesser deity Divine Rank 5 = Intermediate deity Divine Rank 6 = Greater...

    Hey there Arcanist amigo! Well the Camel is Challenge Rating 40 (my CR 40 that is), so in a straight fight its a Hard Encounter for 6 Lesser Deities...although I'd say 4 for a really well optimized party. There are a bunch of monsters in its vicinity: Giga Fleas, etc. But most would be...

    I don't know if we are going to hit any Stretch Goals. If we do hit any I'll make sure and replace the art I am least happy with - So it will be a win-win. As to potential delays (end of Kickstarter and getting new art commissioned) let me tell you a weird story... ...About 18 months ago I...

    I will certainly do that if sufficient Stretch Goals are met. But I'm not expecting to make enough to get all of it replaced. Would be nice to hit a bunch of those Stretch Goals though.

    Thank you for the support my friend. My intent (with the Stretch Goals) is to replace the AI art starting with those illustrations I have put the least amount of time into re-painting. On top of that there are a few illustrations I have spent 20+ hours on and while they are decent - I just...

    I watched the following: From that I have it pegged at around CR 32 = Divine Rank 5. It has at least low-yiield Nuke level capability, its roughly Godzilla-sized. Seems the best fit. Although to be clear my Challenge Ratings from 16 onwards are a 'tad' tougher than the official ones - with...

    :love: Not sure what to charge for that yet. Book is currently 416 pages, that might jump to 432 but I don't think it will be more than that Colour PDF will be £28 (I'm in the UK here so I can't set it in US dollars) Colour Book will be £30 Kickstarter Exclusive Cover will be £35 Not...

    Not sure that even gets into the top ten craziest monsters in the first of my upcoming Epic Bestiary books...but it is one of my favourites. I actually came up with the idea after I created a Table in the Bestiary for GMs to randomly roll a crazy monster idea and I was just testing it out and...

    Thanks for the reply amigo. I'm still weighing up my options, but currently leaning towards: 1. A Black and White Pencil Artist Sketch Edition (100% Real Art) 2. A Colour version (mix of Real Art and AI Art/Repainted) but with Stretch Goals to replace AI art with Real Art. That seems to be...

    Originally - back in 2020 this project (when the monsters were still included in the book) was planned to be all Black & White and I have probably 100+ Artist Pencil illustrations. But I had saved up what I thought was a decent chunk of change and decided to get those illustrations coloured by...

    Yes its all went a bit crazy - although I have picked up 10 new followers on the Pre-Launch page since that particular argument started so, every cloud as they say... Cheers mate! :)

    It just seems a bit 'off' to me, a bit inconsistent.

    I understand that - someone against AI on principal does not care that I spent 30+ hours repainting from an AI-base. But when I look at those illustrations I see the days, weeks and months of hard work I personally invested into them - for me those are my paintings. I'm not using that argument...

    Well I hope I can convince you otherwise amigo, with both the art by real artists and (for those not averse to it) my humble AI-base 'Repaintings'. I think while imagination is king, if you can 'spark' that imagination - especially if you are showing (for the first time) a new plane or...

    I just thought of something how about this idea: 1. I'll offer a Blank Edition (with no art). 2. If the Kickstarter reaches £25,000 I will use that money to create the Artists Sketch Edition (which will cost about £2500 now that I have it properly priced). 3. Anyone who backed the Blank Edition...

    Thank you - been long 5 years of work, I hope people will like it. Understandable - I haven't updated the Pre-Launch yet (will get to that shortly) but... I will be using Stretch Goals to replace AI art with more commissioned art from Real Artists in the book. As noted above I will be...

    I appreciate the kind words amigo. Just a case of over-ambition getting the best of me and bad planning on the art budget side of things.

    I know I became aware of this because when I type GOD RULES into the Kickstarter Search their book appears ahead of mine - if you can believe it! :oops: Well firstly, I wish this person every success with their (presumably) Epic Material (I don't see any stats shown). Maybe they will revise...
