[QUOTE="seasong, post: 853661, member: 5137"] If I was going to run a d20 MtG campaign, what you've created is what I would use. If nothing else, the sheer VOLUME of new spells (what, 250?) is an immense boon to any D&D campaign I ever run from here on out. In fact, if you're still thinking of publishing (are you?), maybe you could start with just the magic system and spells in a slender 32-page PDF or booklet. Include the complete spell list (including SRD spells) like Green Ronin's [i]Pocket Grimoire[/i] set, and you'd have my business. Individual color commentary: White: This is my favorite color, so it would be impossible for you to match exactly what I want out of it - I want it to [i]win[/i], not this "balance" stuff I keep hearing about ;). However, it still looked pretty good. Green: Eh. Not a good judge of green, I'm not that big a fan of the Zerg Rush color ;). Black: The spells for black were awe inspiring. And it's my second favorite color - zebra decks used to be my favorite way to beat the tar out of people :). I know it was easier to catch the feel (D&D is built for necromancy), but I still really liked it. Red: Eh. Not a great judge here, either. More boom spells, okay, moving along... Blue: Considering the limitations you were under by the d20 system, your work in this color was really, really inspiring. Thank you for sharing it! Blue's not my favorite color unless I'm playing a seasinger deck (imagine that), but it's definitely one of the most strategically interesting colors to play against, and you captured that pretty well.
