jdrakeh said:Thank you for the advice, though I'm certain that the 'spell compendium' is only available in German (only two adventures, the setting guide, and the basic rules ever made the transition to English before FanPro quit trying). Do you know a good place to order the German supplements that has website I can read, that will ship to the US, and that will accept Visa or Mastercard payment?
I would simply drop the people at www.Dragonworld.de a mail. They do not only maintain one of the cheapest webshops for RPGs in Germany, they are also very quick to answer questions. No idea if they ship to you, but if anyone would, it would be them.
As to your conversion... It´s hard to do. As Jhaelen said, magic alone differs so much. Every spell has it´s own unique history, it´s own troubles, specifics etc. There are no new spells - if the guildmages rediscover one new spell per century, that´s many. Mages work best as respectable persons practicing an arcane trade, doubling as sages and diviners and supporters. Direct damage spells are awesomely expensive - i only play mages, and i never ever killed anybody with one of those. That said, if you know what you´re doing, you can be really effective.
You have to remember one thing: System and setting are so heavily intertwined in DSA that it hurts. The sole point of the system is to simulate playing characters in THAT WORLD period. And the world has it´s own special flavor you cannot really reproduce with another system. Hmmm, it shows that i love to play this game, does it?
