The great news about table top gaming: We have the rest of our lives to play!

I was unfamiliar with Sidewinder:Recoiled. Looking through it, they did a really nice job! The stats for the weapons in Radiance are based on OGL/d20 SRD values and then improved somewhat to fall between 19th century and modern to make guns more worth their cost and to still fear into the...

There are lots of previews of new material--and change for feedback and tweaking--at www.Facebook.com/RadianceRPG. Of course, folks welcome to continue the discussion here too. :-)

The short answer: Very close. The longer answer: The question is what tier you're going for. If you want to replace the invoker core ability Divine Bloodline, that heals 1d4+1 wounds for 1 person at a time. It's a wee bit more powerful than basic tier which would normally be 1d4 wound points. A...

Yeah, the idea is that even for a cosmopolitan setting, the GM will strongly encourage particular races, say, a half-dozen to really help set the flavor of a particular campaign. They're just options. :-) As a GM, these days, I have so little time in my life to put together adventures. So why...

LOL. As for me, 30 years of gaming and not paying much attention to encumbrance. The Radiance rules came out of a brainstorming session between me, the editor, and one of the other GMs. It was the editor's idea, and we tweaked it a little. Voila!

Yes, the various modifiers are all equivalent enough to do as you say. BTW, a number of situations give PCs a 25% or 50% chance to recover for that turn or to shake off the effect, etc, which is sort of like saving throws.

Yeah, there's the whole monster creep things: Funny how, over 3 decades, creatures that were once clearly monsters--vampires, kobolds, half-fiends, doppelgangers, werewolves etc--have become normal character options, and in the process they've been slightly softened and tweaked to be more...

I agree there could be some confusion at first. I included "saves" as an alternative to "defenses" because it is such an iconic term. In my experience, even people who don't play D&D (but once did) recall "making your saving throw" with fondness. I didn't want to lose it. I use the term...

Nice to hear :-). What you described was the goal: "as much" or "as little" without unbalancing, using the same mechanics as everyone else. And the dhampir is definitely fun to play :-).

Bottom of page 40. Pages 40-41 are your lifeline for the book! They work like 4E. ------------------------------------------------ Defenses: The target of an ability may be able to defend himself to minimize harm. There are 3 defenses, also called “saves”. --Fortitude: Withstand physical...

THE DRAGOON CLASS IS NOW UP! I'm taking comments for the next couple months before it goes into the book... Wall Photos | Facebook

It's called a kit and yes it's still a book. :-) There is no current release date. My desire is before Christmas. A lot of the material is done... in fact, a lot of the earlier material was targeted to be in the Masters Guide, which was a mistake, and I wasted time worked on the Expansion Kit...

The upcoming Expansion Kit features the dragoon class, which is more cyborg than golem, but fills much of the same role.

Daniel Marshall, who has already written some adventures for Pathfinder, has just turned in a completed draft of a sizable adventure, The Braggerton Butcher, for use with Radiance RPG (and Pathfinder), level 5-7, in a generic Victorian era. It includes some pact magic along with the usual...

Just a quick thought, in case you didn't see this, as I rush off to lunch... On page 109, under Gaining Experience Points, 3. Train Intensely: You stay home to study. You gain 1 XP for each 1 month of intense training and study. You can train for 3 consecutive months before needing a 1 month...

I admit this version is more limited. But there are still many outlets... I imagine that a "wizard" college will include sages, elementalists, shamans, sorcerers, witches, etc. In real life, colleges serve two purposes: -- Train new generations -- Conduct research amongst peers Maybe there's a...

Davachido has answered this pretty well. The inspiration was the Sleep spell, which is 1st level. It's a little harder for your friends to restore you compared to sleep, but then you're still conscious. It's situation, and the -5 really puts a damper on longterm use. Where I do agree there is...

I'm happy to answer questions. Think of the dhampir class as a "monster class" from the heyday of 3.5. Keep in mind a character can multiclass, switching into dhampir after being infected in some way by a vampire or by joining a vampiric faction (Blood Masquerade). So why do it? The class...

Thank you for articulating this. :-)
