A lot of material done for the Expansion Kit and Butcher of Braggarton adventure module, but waiting on some artwork, need to do editing, and with 3 months of almost nonstop travel ahead of me, I'd say we're looking at late July. I'm not putting dates on these, for those reasons, and because...

Alas, no. Missing it for a second year in a row. I'll be in Winston-Salem conducting a 3-day neuroscience and personality workshop! Who doesn't love North Carolina in August ;-). That said, I'd really love to get back to PaizoCon (July 5-7) and have left those days open. That would be for the...

What's combat like? Faster and more dangerous than the usual d20/3.x game. For starters, instead of a single pool of hit points, everyone has 2 pools: wounds and vitality. Wounds are fixed based on your race and remain the same over your whole career. Wound damage reflects genuine physical...

For all folks, here's what it says: Prodigy: When you attain 3rd level, you gain 1 advanced class ability rather than the usual 4 basic class abilities for that level, which you gain at 9th level instead. This ability does not grant access to advanced tier boons, which you access at 9th level...

Dude!

No estimated time for the Expansion Kit. I really want to do it justice since I doubt I'll take again to write something *myself* for a while after this project... although I'm working with others for modules, etc to continue supporting the system in the usual ways. I haven't gotten any books...

Yeah, and the early levels, a few extra daily vitality is nice. If the party wants to take an afternoon nap, though with 5 PCs, that's 4+ hours down time. Besides refluff, well, those min-maxers can just suffer it if they *really* want the benefit (face in palm). LOL.

No worries... No daily limit, just can only have 1 at a time, yeah. And yes, I agree Prestidigitation sounds better. Good stuff. Since there was very little in the way of illusions in the Players Guide, I named the ability Illusionist. But in retrospect, Prestidigitation is better.

The "Illusionist" ability under the class's core abilities pretty much work like prestidigitation, though a major version of it is certainly possible. It doesn't mention all the things the d&d Prestidigitation spell does, like cleaning and such, due to space limitations. But yeah, good idea...

In the works, and subject to change before publication in the Expansion Kit... ILLUSIONIST An illusionist conjures false images to fool the senses. Background & Adventures Illusionists craft the unreal. They are masters of figments, glamors, phantasms, and other spells that help deceive...

Cool. I noticed your order. The electronic check is still clearing... As for the half-elf, I'm unsure what you mean. I looked under it's traits. I see stuff like Notice Secret Doors. Now, there's a list of 20 optional racial abilities that a PC can draw from over the course of a career, and...

Contest time! Gnome Stew -- with whom I am unaffiliated -- is sponsoring a contest this month for the best new game campaign idea. The game doesn't have to be new. Rather, you as GM pitch why you'll be playing a new game, which game (ahem, Radiance RPG), and why you're idea is amazing. To join...

I did the maps myself. I use Photoshop. Here's my process: 1) Place grid as lowest layer 2) Trace outline of walls, etc. using line tool of 6-point width or whatever. 3) Marge wall layers and apply filter(drop shadow, beveling, gradient, pattern, stroke) 4) Add dungeon dressings from a pallet...

Robyo, thank you for this quick review of the Radiance Masters Guide. To answer your questions: 1) I did my best to design each race with 5 points. The kobold suffers on wound points, for example, because it has an awesome retreat ability. Here's a breakdown (off the cuff): -2 Strength = -1...
