Hi Gothmog. That sounds like the exact same kind of thing that I've been going for, and I like your ideas. Would it be possible to post one of your classes so I can see how you did it?

Yeah, I've been following up on Monte's diaries. There are lots of d20 magic types out there in various supplements, which would save me lots of time, but I wonder how well they would all integrate together. Probably just as well as I could do. :) Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try and...

Vemuz grabs a mug from the top of the bar and takes a drink.

In addition to outsiders and descriptors, I would also add it to undead and possibly some other supernatural creatures. IMO Protection from Evil should certainly protect you from a malevolent spirit!

Sounds cool Balgus. How easy would it be to adapt the system to one of my own themes? What if I wanted, for example, an occult tradition where people can abilities related to serpents, such as spitting venom, growing fangs, turning into a constrictor, sensing heat emissions, contracting ribs...

Hello Anthony and thank you for taking the time to discuss this openly with us. I really appreciate it. 1. Was this emphasis on the controversial aspects an intentional attempt to stir up free publicity by representing (only implicitly of course) the product as something more than it is? If...

Thanks for all the info on your system. I think it sounds interesting. I have yet to play a dice pool game, but Riddle of Steel has caught my eye. I like the idea of buying off parts of the spell when you cast it, so that your spell may not end up exactly as you intended it, but it still goes...

Re: Pollster's update... What I think was unclear in the poll, and still remains so, is whether by "approve" you are talking about approval of it's right to publication, approval of Valar's decision to publish it, approval of people using it, or approval of using it onesself. I think your...

Thank goodness for modern medicine!

You know, I just remembered that I actually started something along these lines a while back and I've got a bunch already done. The problem I had was worrying about whether they were playable or not, so I wanted to start looking around and see if there was a system out there that could...

Yeah, I was also thinking of adapting material that's out there. Swashbuckling Arcana from AEG also has some neat magic classes. The only problem is I wouldn't be able to find all the things I need to match what I've got, so I would have to fill in some holes. I like the idea of ancestor...

Thanks for the suggestion. I've looked around a bit for info and it seems that everyone tends to cast some spells in the Runequest system. Do you think it could be adapted to a more low magic setting where spell casters are rare?

How well does this game support the people other than the Mages? Would it work well in a campaign where magic is not the central focus? Would it work for a world like Robert E. Howard's Hyboria?

How do the skills relate to the power levels of the spells? Do you need to roll and get a certain number of successes for a given spell effect (otherwise fail casting), or do your ranks in a magic skill directly effect how powerful a spell you can cast (i.e. you need 3+ ranks to shrink...

I think these two ideas would go really well together. You create spell lists, and add differences to how they cast spells and flavor text. The problems I have about this are: 1. I might have to create new spells to cover some of the ideas. 2. It would be hard to know if there is any kind...

Hey, congratulations! I'm very happy to hear this great news.

I'm wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions on how to implement various magical traditions without having to write up a dozen or more new classes or PRCs. Ideally there would be one alt.magic system that can capture this kind of thing with minimal effort. Basically, what I am...

Vemuz turns toward Malachi's assailant, but remembers at the last moment that Malachi can more than hold his own. Vemuz look around the room to see if anyone is threatening him. Should anyone move against him, he will respond with a fist across the jaw.

Ah, I missed that detail. Good point!

I think that's a bit different. It's a list of credentials with no direct relationship to the product. It could just as easily say "created Ars Magica" if the author was Jonathan Tweet instead of Monte Cook. In Valar's press release the mystery author, and Anthony Valterra specifically...
