Adult: GUCK development forum IV

[Loren Pechtel]

*comes up gasping for air*

My greatest and most sincere apologies, everyone, for being absent for the past month or so. My hard drive decided to spontaneously unformat itself, with somewhat predictable consequences. I have lost my personal copy of the GUCK, the spell lists I was working on, and, well, everything else. I've just received respite from my internet cold-turkey as we try to sort everything out, and I thought I'd speak to you all first.

!!!!

The machine I normally use to post here suffered even worse--the drive is no longer readable at all. It wasn't responsible for my absence, though--it happened hours before we left to visit her folks anyway.

Is this thread perhaps dangerous?

Tentacle?

I can not seach due to the search thing being for Community Supporters, so I will just post.

Has anyone made up a quick Tentacle template and/or Tentacle monsters for the Tentacle Master prestige class. One person in one of my campains wants to become this PrC but in the GUCK, there is no Tentacle monster or template (that part is not done).

All right, since no one else is willing to field this one (And I'm not sure I blame them) I'll take care of it.

The short answer is that the Tentacle Master has been dropped from the GUCK for flavor reasons. While there's a remote (at this point) possibility of a supplement where the class might make a comeback, currently there's no support, official or unofficial, for anything related to it. If you really want to come up with something on your own, that's fine, but it's doubtful it will be accepted at this time for official inclusion.

I'm afraid I haven't heard from VVrayven, though; are you still out there, oh Mistress of Spells?

I return. <sly smile> After all, when someone invokes me by name I must appear. Work is hell. Sometimes I miss college. I see my spell list has gone over well. Dbs, can you use the copy on the boards, or do you need me to send you a new one? Well, despite being busy, I'd hate one of the mothers to not be there for her child. What needs a tinkering?

I feel the same as you. Any kind of a supplement is a remote possibility at this point unless I find more time. However, I'll be willing to chat with anyone of is interested in my wealth of former ideas. None of these, nor much of the NC items at all will be present in the GUCK however.

Well, A few tweaks were made to your spells (some by me) and I guess you should probably review them and give your okay. I don't know where the others have gone, yet, since interest seems to have wavered. Maybe we should Email some of them to find out what's going on?

Hello everyone. I was wondering how the fire seemed to burn out in this thread... I have seen how mine is wavering however. Have any of you boys seen the Book of Erotic Fantasy? I will say it is worth the buy. It is elegant, well thought out, very complete, and very long. While it dosen't have our long and well thought out hard focus mechanics, in its place, it has a very good and easy system. It also handles subject matter in a graceful manner.

I fear this book has one upped our GUCK project. Everything we have slaved over is present in this work and of high quality. I don't know if this spells doom for us, I know some devoted souls have continued to ponder our past work and wonder at it. I'll wait for the opinion of the creators at large.

I will continue to give my best here when it is asked, but DbS is the head of the project. I feel both joy and sorrow at this. Joy that a quality product has been made and is in offical print with wonderful pictures, and sorrow at the fact that I spent hours on a project that earned me titles such as Java Girl and Mistress of Spells that is now dwindling in spirit.

<<hugs to all>> I'll still be around regardless.

As silent as I have been lately, my hearth is with the guck. It's free and I've taken of part of it. It really suits my needs. From the previous comments I've heard of the BOEF, I have the feeling that is more focused on some precise topics while guck is more general. That being said, I haven't looked at the BOEF so I don't quite know what I'm talking about...

After perusing the BoEF info on the Valar website, I'm inclined to agree with VVrayven. The primary good points about the BoEF, as I see it, are:

* It has an extremely simple mechanic for resolving sexual encounters, which is good for mainstream campaigns.

* It has complete info on races, classes, spells, skills, feats and items.


The primary good points about the GUCK -- again IMO -- are:

* It's free.

* It can have complete info of the sort the BoEF boasts, if we keep working on it.


One thing I think the GUCK could really use is a complete and polished Soft Focus rules set. After that, the priority job is spells, then everything else: races, feats, classes, items, etc. I'll be happy to keep working on this thing if others will do so as well.
