[2WS] New Release -- Skill Focus: Talking, and now all books available at ENWorld

[2WS-Steve]

Just a note that I've gone ahead and updated the Rune Warden (that previously had a rough playtest version) and uploaded the file as a free PDF download from the Second World site.

If it ever scrolls off the front page, this is a direct link.

Skill Focus: Talking is an excellent little supplement. I really enjoyed it.

Good work!

[edit] I'm looking at your site, and I can't find the "Pact System" PDF. Is it named something different?

The link for the stanges for Bodies and Souls is a broken link.

DMH posted the right link, thanks -- I'll go ahead and update my downloads section as well to make the Pact System easier to find.

Thanks also for the note on the Stangs link -- I've updated it so it should work now.

Glad you enjoyed the Talking supplement! My players seem to be having a good time with it.

Ah! I had found that page- I just didn't realize that you were supposed to click on the little red word to get the PDF.

Really enjoyed this little pdf - it's just what we've been looking for in our games. Nice job!

I noticed Gather Information doesn't get the "talking actions" treatment. Did you have any ideas that didn't make it into the publication?

I was considering Gather Information but it's not really a skill I typically roleplay out -- though it might get players to a person where they do talk.

Also, if I can come up with any interesting ideas, I'd like to put together a Skill Focus: Investigation PDF, and Gather Info seemed more appropriate for that.

Steve,
The more I've used this the more I like it. I'd like to see this approach of "empowering players who aren't like the PCs they portray" applied in many other areas of the game. It's pertinent, interesting, and quite helpful.
If you did a similar treatment for Gather Information, Research, Search, Sense Motive and the like in Skill Focus: Investigation I'd certainly get it!

anything further on any of these topics??

Wardens would be great, and Skill focus:investigation could make D20 modern CSI games more of a reality
