The map above and lands below will be part of the Radiance RPG Expansion Kit. 7 locales to the north: --> Commonweal of Brayton, Wode, and Avalon = United Kingdom, with elements of the northeastern United States where the "indians" were elves. --> Infernal Trust of Greater Gath = Soviet Russia...

This map shows the lands of O'arth, which will appear in the Expansion Kit as the default setting for Radiance RPG. In this era, O'arth is equivalent to our early 20th century. Every few days over the coming weeks, I'll detail major powers of O'arth, starting with the Commonweal and Greater...

That sounds really cool. Yes, I can see the benefits of this mechanic, especially against auto-success for higher level PCs. That was a deliberate design choice, and it works in practice when the full consequences of the game world come into play. I'll explain... In terms of motivation, I was...

One of our play-test GMs is part of D&D Next play-testing as well. Though his group sort of gave up on it for now, in favor of Radiance RPG, he still follows all the updates. I'll ask him about it. Skills was a main mechanic I wasn't fully happy with in Radiance RPG. In practice, it works...

I'm a fan of hand-waving too, at least as a GM! If you find there's more than you want, it's fairly easy to cut out elements like themes and deities and just replace them with a generic set of "action points". You can also leave out electrotech and even magic items until you want to introduce...

Kudos Options, this is a really nice presentation! For folks coming from pre-4E, Radiance RPG is *relatively* convenient as-is. And personally, regarding variants like the savant ergo etc, I feel adding +1 or whatever to some key stats is also pretty easy--the good news is that all the monsters...

Each creature appears on its own page, so yes, if you're running encounters with several different kinds of creatures, you either bookmark those or -- like I do -- print the ones you plan to use. Like 4E, I put all of a creature's info on its page. So when a creature needs to grapple, the GM...

Hi Option! I'm watching :-) For creature stats, the skills listed include all possible bonuses. Besides Lore and Bypass, a PC might try an unusual action not covered by the rules, including non-combat actions. Players can be very inventive sometimes! That said, skill checks tend to cover...

thank you for sharing Kravell. Regarding your setting and experience, is this your site: http://www.rpg.net/columns/brave/brave86.phtml Cheers.

You are most welcome :-).

Today is the LAST DAY OF THE CONTEST! http://www.facebook.com/RadianceRpg Add your idea to the next Radiance supplement. Submit your suggestions for a new class, deity, race, theme, electrotech item, or whatnot. Top submissions by Nov 25th will be added to the Radiance Expansion Kit.

Here are some preliminary thoughts about a woodling race. WOODLING An adult woodling stands approximately 8 ft tall and averages 300-350 pounds. Males weigh more than females. Woodlings look much like lithe humanoid trees with human-like faces, a 2-prong trunk for a pair of legs, and 2 primary...

I wouldn't call them fetchling. Maybe shade or something similar, although the word shade has so many uses in fantasy and folklore. With elementals, I try to include more than the traditional 4. Likely I'd include metal, void, and wood for 7 elements total. The challenge is the relationship...

To be honest, cross-over compatibility with races in Pathfinder is a big consideration. For example, Radiance has no equivalent of the fetchling, a shadow race. And the addition of something like the genasi will cover a number of other bases. The rakasha tends to cover a fair amount of the...

There will definitely be mecha equipment and I agree there is a real need for a brawler class and assassin theme. I'd also like to have genasi, though I believe I'd need to call them something else. I've heard of yeti PCs. Alas, I ran out of space in the Masters Guide to put yeti monsters. So...
