[QUOTE="HalWhitewyrm, post: 179166, member: 4046"] [b]MGE Explorer Guides[/b] Hello, my name is Daniel M. Perez and I am the one currently writing the Tropics guide. I'll try to answer a few questions without revealing too much or putting my foot in my mouth. :) Take a look at a map of the Americas. Draw a line across that crosses Miami, FL. Now draw a line across that crosses just below Venezuela. See everything in the middle? That's what I'm hoping to cover in varying levels of detail. I will be very honest with you right now: No, beyond some basic science background info, I had not considered getting that technical. My aim is to write a gaming book, not an Ecology-lite textbook. However, I am fond of basing my material on hard fact, so I will be looking at some of these sources in order to get solid information I can then build on. As time and space permit, I may include some of that more technical info as well, given it can be toned down to fit the game system. And as far as the info on magic, druids, etc., yes that was part of the plan all along. Noted, noted and noted. While I am intending to cover part of this subject, in all honesty unless you are using rules to simulate equipment deteriorating there really is no point in knowing that iron/steel corrodes faster than bronze, etc., because it really has no bearing. Now, if you were using such a system, where you track the durability of weapons and armours, then yes, such info would be relevant. I'll see what I can do, okay? And environmental hazards are well featured, trust me. When you live in a place where for half of the year you are stuck in a place smack in the middle of hurricane country, environmental hazards are the subject of close attention. I have to say I am very happy with the level of enthusiasm seen so far. Like the Fearsome Monkey said, drop by the Monkey God Enterprises forums to give us more feedback on these Explorer Guides. Keep those suggestions coming!! [/QUOTE]
