Another Immortals Handbook thread

[Upper_Krust]

Hi UK, I'm an Italian DM,

Ciao Shariell!

and my campaing is going in high-epic standard so far... me and my group are very very intrested in your work.

Hey thanks - I appreciate the interest! Tell the group I said hello!

How we can get it? I've not understand very well how to pay and how to request your work, if you can tell me how, I will very apprecciate (take count we are from Italy, not from US or even North America).

Okay. Well Rulemaster already explained how (thanks dude), but I'll go over it again.

At the moment, only the unofficial version is available via Paypal. To get that, you paypal £3.50 (British Pounds Sterling) to my email address agooddesigner@hotmail.com and then I will send you the document.

However in about a weeks time *fingers crossed* I should have the official version (with all the artwork) available at places like www.rpgnow.com.

If you buy the unofficial version now, you get the official version free after its released.

I'm glad to see people like you, who keep efforts to bring us epic players and DM, a huge set of options, despite the poor support of wizard of the coast on the epic side of the game.

Well thanks. I think Wizards of the Coast support for epic/deity level play is a bit thin because their own books (Epic Level Handbook and Deities & Demgods) were not greatly received by the fans.

I am not sure if you are aware of it, but there is a fantastic website called dicefreaks which has a lot of epic material you should find interesting.

Also I have some stuff on my website as well.

PS. Sorry for my poor English...this is not my first language

Don't worry about that mate!

Can't wait to see your work!!

 

[Shariell]

thanks for the reply!! (both to you and rulemaster)
Time to search info about paypal...and time to order our copy of your immortals handbook

Also thanks for the links...I already know dicefreaks, but not your own site. Can't wait to go check it for some news about your project!!!

Greetings from all my gaming group: Almeridian, Rah'El, Shezan, Arashi Elendar an of course me, Shariell

Ciao!

Hey CR2000!



In between trying to finish the Bestiary art I have been tweaking and fixing the various powers and abilities to get them perfect, as well as starting work on the (13) deity examples. I suppose I should have asked was there any deities people would like to see? Obviously I have the Time Lord and the one above time lord already sorted. The 9 immortals will be one of each alignment, then you have the two undergods (Disciple and Prophet).

I have my initial list around here somewhere, but off the top of my head it was something like Achilles, Baba Yaga, Lucifer, Shang-Ti, Surtur, Algol, Metatron (obviously thats missing a few, and I am not going to name the Time Lords either at this stage). Although I probably should have put Algol (ie. Azathoth) in the Bestiary in a grouping on Pseudonaturals.

That's great.

So I assume your rules for divine ascension are ready and rearing to go?

 

[Fieari]

Would it be possible to release those divine ascension rules without the example deities, much like the Bestiary Preview? Given the rules, I could probably stat out some deities on my own... after which point, of course, I'd love to see your take.

My pleasure.

Well like I said, it should shortly be available at rpgnow and places like that. So you would be able to buy it with a credit card...if that would be easier.

Also thanks for the links...I already know dicefreaks, but not your own site. Can't wait to go check it for some news about your project!!!

Well I don't have as much stuff up as dicefreaks, but I am only one person.

Some of it is quite good though.

Ciao!

Ciao Italia!

Hey CR2000!

That's great.

So I assume your rules for divine ascension are ready and rearing to go?

Well they have been ready to go for about 3 years.

So the difficulty was never in the ascension rules. It was more a case of the multitude of options, powers and portfolios that become available after ascension needing streamlined and refined.

Hey Fieari mate

Would it be possible to release those divine ascension rules without the example deities, much like the Bestiary Preview?

It would be possible, but I don't see it happening. The idea with the Bestiary preview was that the text wasn't finished. The apotheosis text is not yet finished, of which the sample deities are not a major stumbling block (although they won't be totally finished until after the rest is finished for obvious reasons).

Given the rules, I could probably stat out some deities on my own... after which point, of course, I'd love to see your take.

I am sure you could. I designed the rules to be incredibly simple. I even show in the book how to create your own divine ranks or customise the existing ones.

Using the stats as given is incredibly easy. Thats the beauty of templates.

Hey U_K!

Regarding the neutronium golem:

I don't have a problem with high powered, but I do have a problem with it breaking design parameters for its Hit Dice (primarily due to its damage alone, which is unbelievably high). Basically what this tells me is that either its damage is too high or its Hit Dice is far too low.

Understood -- the last thing the world needs is an asymmetrical neutronum golem.

Also, good luck bringing Galactus together. Something tells me that a great many people are going to be interested in that.

 

[Shariell]

I've just received my copy of the book... it looks very intresting!
Nice to see the LA listed too, and the tactics round by round.

My players now can start fear their enemy...eheheh

Thanks UK

Hey U_K!

Hiya mate!

Regarding the neutronium golem:

Understood -- the last thing the world needs is an asymmetrical neutronum golem.

I like things to have a reason, even if I don't always explain what that reason is brazenly in the design.

As far as I can tell the Orichalcum Golem should have 604 Hit Dice, whilst the Neutronium Golem should have 28,577 Hit Dice and will, on average, destroy an Earth sized planet (low physical factor) with a single slam!

Normally, I wouldn't bother including such a creature, but the Neutronium Golem was more of a fanciful creation to begin with, rather than something that will see much use in any but the most outlandish campaigns. So I am not adverse to this change. Either way, those who have the unofficial Bestiary will of course now have two versions of the Neutronium Golem to choose from, so they are not losing out at all...the new CR is a tentative 20,003 (13,335 WotC CR).

Dark Matter and Black Hole Golems weighing in at 50,818 HD and 90,369 Hit Dice respectively...but I am sure no one is interested in them.

A few of the others may also change (eg. The Mercury Golem would be 20 HD), but I am not sure if I am going to change them yet.

Also, good luck bringing Galactus together. Something tells me that a great many people are going to be interested in that.

There you go putting the pressure on me to finish that too.
