[QUOTE="Endroren, post: 8900492, member: 5011"] Just to clarify, building that system is actually what the project is about. We're not just launching a system we've been working on that fits our own interpretation of what is needed. Rather, we're taking a set of core design principals and values, concepts developed in part by working with both the players and designers, and using that as the roadmap for development. At the core of it all is a goal to build a new fantasy RPG system that is easy for 5E players to adopt and easy for 5E creators to convert to—but we are NOT "reskinning" 5E. Community feedback (from both players and designers) is a key element of this process. Meanwhile, our Consulting Designers are there to keep us on the right track, leveraging their experience and talent to ensure that the end result is a top quality game. I'm taking on the Lead Designer/Writer role, but I see myself more like the gamemaster than the author.
