Hey folks, For those of you who have been wanting to see what all the fuss was about this summer at our convention appearances, the wait is over. You can now download the Convention Edition of the Cortex System RPG at DriveThruRPG. The Cortex System is the engine that powers all of our...

Yes, I think the save bonus/penalties is probably going to go the way of the dodo. That's OK. I'm tempted by the ritual bonus, but again, I don't know that it's sexy enough. And I'm really not sure about Irda Ranger's suggestion to make it a +5 bonus. They're already Trained in Arcana, so this...

Here's the current version of the multiclass feat for the Wizard of High Sorcery. Mage of the Robes [Multiclass High Sorcerer] Prerequisites: Arcane power source, Ritual Caster feat Benefit: Your survival of the Test of High Sorcery and admission into the Orders has parted the veil on many...

Correct. And I don't want to jump into design with the assumption that the rules as presented are wrong. I'm working on the assumption that people will be using them, and I'm encouraging people to do so. I had considered the notion of getting back a utility power, and leaving the option for...

Oh, I agree. And there's an element of "you're playing it wrong" that comes out of that. In fact, I think they advocate the notion that many people are having fun playing bad games when they could be having MORE fun playing good games. Games they think are good: Savage Worlds, Spirit of the...

I'm keen on using the notion of milestones somehow in this, because I think that's an area of the game that has some legs and represents time in a way that can be measured fairly consistently. I could go the easy route and provide them with bonuses to things, but it seems as if that's missing...

I went to the gearheads first, man. :) I'll post what I have to the DL boards once it's in better shape. Cheers, Cam

Right. I think I've got some of what I want, but it needs work. The key issue also is that the moons have longer cycles. Solinari's is 36 days, Lunitari 28, and Nuitari 8. This means, depending on how you read it, a White Robed mage is going to benefit from High Sanction 9 days in a row...

I'm using the Spellscarred from the FR Player's Guide as inspiration for handling the Wizards of High Sorcery from Dragonlance. Essentially, there's a feat you take when you pass the Test, and anybody who passes the Test becomes affected by the phases of the moons. Multiclass power swap feats...

I believe (but I'm not going to assert as true) that the BG folks have established what they consider to be an objective, scientific approach to analysis of games in order to determine what makes them good or bad games. I do not believe that Meghan, Josh, or Zeke feel that their game analysis is...

Marvel Ultimate Alliance, the console game, is perhaps one of the better inspirations for doing something like this. If you pick up the Brady Games guide book, you've got a whole swath of cool powers and effects (costumes!) ready to convert. Cheers, Cam

How is it tenuous and muddled? Elemental humanoids with a name that sounds like genie? That's more convincing than your default pronunciation routine, I should think. Cheers, Cam

It's too late. I am now in accent limbo. New Zealand friends and family think I have an American accent, while everyone here in the USA thinks I have a NZ accent. They occasionally confuse it with an Australian accent, but that's a monstrous accusation that results in painful and excruciating...

Morrus may be British, but I'm a native New Zealander. Living in the USA for 12 years hasn't helped my accent any. ;) Cheers, Cam

I've been assuming it's pronounced the same way Ari Fleischer pronounces it, which is to say, rhyming with "starry." Cheers, Cam

Yes. Even though it's a made-up name, the connection to "genie" is at least a reasonable one. Cheers, Cam

I think that would make me cry. Plus, it's not supporting the Dragonlance brand in quite the way I suspect Hasbro/WotC wants to. Cheers, Cam

You're equating Forest Oracle with Michael Williams' poetry? I think you need to hand in your Dragonlance fan card, Terry. Cheers, Cam

I'm the jen-AH-see camp. Cheers, Cam

When we had the official license, we released another 10 source or reference books, as well as three map accessories and six campaign-sized adventure modules. And between 2nd edition and 3rd edition, there were ten or so boxed sets and standalone sourcebooks for the SAGA card-based system used...
