Message: <blockquote data-quote="RSKennan" data-source="post: 2068180" data-attributes="member: 8256">Incidentally, I prefer Morningstar. Not just because I wrote it, but because it took the road less travelled. I'm the first to admit that Dawnforge is much more polished- and its mechanics are tighter- but I think Morningstar is a 150 karat diamond in the rough. The book as written is *very* rough, however- so I'm not bragging.   I guess what I'm trying to say to everyone is that I agree with your assessments about Morningstar but you haven't seen the last of the setting. It was my first published work of any kind, and I honestly didn't know what I was doing. I wound up getting a bit muddled since I didn't quite know how to sustain my vision across the entire book. I do now. At this very moment, I'm working on fixing the setting for a relaunch down the road.  I'm leaving the dross and taking the gold from it to make something infinitely cooler. The rules I'm putting into playtest later this month give a lot of player options, and up the ante power-wise. The setting itself is also getting a makeover-all of the hits are staying, and the misses are being retooled or cut. I'm being brutal.   This isn't any kind of formal announcment, but I just thought I'd let everyone know not to count Morningstar out yet. Minor threadjack: If anyone wants to help with playtest, come on over to theCanticle.com and we can talk (Whizbang- that might be a good way to get introduced to the setting as I envision it). I'm taking my time this time around, and it's already apparent to me that the end-product will be a great improvement over the original. That's a good thing, since I lost a lot of sleep (yes, literally) over missed opportunities in the first book.</blockquote>
