Just to be clear: MoAR Battlemages is getting transferred into the new trade dress and may get some small amount entirely new material added (more on that when/if it happens), but what's in there already is unlikely to change at this point beyond very small fixes like actual typo corrections.

Lay off everybody (provide high-end career services and glowing references to the creatives, black list all of the C-suite executives), liquidate all the assets, put the IP into the public domain and give all the proceeds to charity. I'm done with WotC.

I just found this thread, so forgive me if I don't wade through 51(!) pages of comments before weighing in. I was pretty close to done with WotC in November before any of the OGL stuff started circulating. I've found their design to be boring for a while now, and I find a lot of the lore...

You're not alone in that buying preference, which is something I've definitely taken note of.

I will say this: while this is the conclusion of what Josh and I set out to do with MoAR, there's likely to be one additional thing under that line name before we finish up and put a bow on it. We're just in active discussions about exactly what that looks like, so stay tuned. Also, if you...

Sorry to inform you that you're out of date again. ;) MoAR Elements just added a berserker, a cleric, 2 druids, a herald, and another warlock.

Here's the missing feature text: Sinister Awareness At 11th level, you learn to extend your supernatural abilities into your senses. You may spend 4 exertion points to gain Truesight with a range of 30 feet for one minute. While this ability is active, you may attack creatures on the Ethereal...

The fifth installment of the popular MoAR series is here and available for purchase! Lots of cool stuff in this one, and much like MoAR Battlemages was my design opus, MoAR Elements is @Xethreau's (well, for this series, anyway; he's done so much cool stuff in other products I can barely keep...

Whoof. That's not good. Thank you for letting me know; I'll get the missing text for you and post it here. However, this is actually a good set-up for another piece of news I had: MoAR Battlemages will be getting a complete layout and graphic design overhaul. If you look at the last couple of...

More the latter than the former. The way I went with the Fanatic was that while they don't have the focus to cast spells while raging, they still have access to that power and can use it differently. You can only use Supernatural Wrath while you're raging and you can only cast spells while...

Yeah, I try to get around the weirdness a little with feats that boost things like Extra Attack based on some combination of the class levels involved, but there's only so much you can do.

Given that Morrus said he wants it written by someone from there, I have a feeling it'll be a bit different from the westernized takes we got in the 80s and 90s.

A bit more context: while Andrew Engelbrite did have access to my O5E multiclass feats when he was working on the synergy feat concept, he went in a little bit of a different direction than I do; his feats actually lend themselves to a more generic approach than mine do. I use feats to plug...

I understood your point earlier just fine, I just don't agree with the approach. I prefer specific to generic. Also, as I said above, I have no objection to someone else taking that approach (and even if I did object, that would be no impediment to them taking it) but that is not what I am...

That sounds like a great project for another designer to pick up, but my intention is to do it "longhand" and cover all of the individual combinations. Which, yes, I realize is a lot of synergy feat trees; with the 13 AG classes, plus the artificer and savant and the three third-party classes so...

The financial angle is just one of many in play here. There's also a time element, for one thing. And while you can indeed raise money from crowdfunding platforms, nobody has yet figured out a way to raise hours. ;) There's other stuff to consider, too; for example, we've been discussing a...

Just to clarify: the Tome of Character Options wouldn't have the full set of multiclass synergy feats; it'll probably be one of several products that, together, have all of that material. Multiclass synergy feat chainss are word-heavy, which means space-heavy, and they seem to be pretty...

I would love to have a hardcover version of the whole MoAR line to offer (heck, I'd love to have a copy for my own bookshelf!). However, that will require a bunch of conversations and new work with the various folks involved. I think it's safe to say that such a product will exist at some point...

Eventually, yes, though I'm not sure what form it'll take. January's OGL nightmare kind of imposed some time to stop and evaluate on me. The Thematic Toolkit line does okay, but not as well as MoAR for completely valid reasons. So I am contemplating other means to deliver on my goal of getting a...
