[FFG] Legendary Class Design Contest!

[Brian W]

Re: Re: LC Netbook

I'd love to see this stuff in a netbook (hosted where? FFG? Here?),

-Reddist

Well, all of these Legendary Classes, on the EN World contest, are Morrus' to dispense as he wishes

What FFG is likely to do, is set up a contest over on our site, and then host all of those entries on our pages. We would include everything from every contest we hosted on our site.

I'll have to talk to Wil and Greg and see whether getting some contest Legendary Classes in the books is a possibility. Path of Magic is already at the printer (and scheduled to be released at GenCon), but there's still two more!

 

[Khur]

Uh...

Anyone out there?

Which classes can we use (besides the already offered) to make a netbook?

Does Morrus object, support, or not care?

Would FFG like to see us do this?

Just wondering....

 

[Morrus]

Well, I've posted them on my resources page - http://www.d20reviews.com/resource.htm

I think a netbook would be a great idea. I'll be glad to host it if you want, or to just tell everyone about it if someone else wants to host it.

Well, the Elf Lord was my creation. It's good to be a winner.

Thanks for the comments and critiques on the class. I really had fun building it. I think the Legendary Class is a fantastic idea. Better than prestige classes in some ways--more interesting than most, for example.

I have to agree with some of the critiques about the Elf Lord. I was really concerned with overpowering it. The immortality power, for example. I wanted there to be no impact to aging with the class if someone took that ability at power level one, but I was troubled by the fact that that is the very last ability a monk receives regarding aging, disease, etc. And since the power was modeled on the monk class' various abilities to resist disease and aging... If I were to rewrite the class (and I may ask Morrus to post a revision later), I would definitely incorporate some of these critiques. As I said, though, I was really concerend with overpowering it, and maybe I underpowered it instead.

Well, anyway, in case anyone did not notice, this class was inspired by Tolkien's elf lords.

Okay, I am in the process of moving from one continent to another (a process which will take 4-5 weeks), so I have to limit my online time. When I have more time and leisure, I look forward to getting a careful look at everyone's classes.

And congrats to the other winners!

netbook stuff

Right then....

I suggest those of us who are going to make changes to our LgCs based on feedback here do so and send in new versions (v2.0!) to Morrus or Khur. I know I made changes on mine here at home, but I have not sent in any updates.

Maybe Khur. If we send them to Khur, he can parse them out to those of us willing to edit, and figure out what art or illustrations he wants to go with what, and divvy up what work he thinks needs to be done. I'll gladly volunteer for editing or formatting (they should probably all look similar, as far as formatting goes) but my artwork smells of rancid goat cheese.

I'd also suggest that King Paul stand over Khur's shoulder and whisper secrets of NetBook Goodness in his ear, seeing as KP is one of our resident NetBook Gurus (and a much appreciated one at that.)

Perhaps Khur has found a new calling

Anyhoo, just my uneducated suggestions. Does anyone with some actual experience putting a NetBook together have better ideas?

Working on revisions now. I'll toss in the Storm and the Warrior of the Broken Wake.

Should we start deciding on some deadlines or a timetable of sorts?

 

[Khur]

List of LgCs for the netbook...

Okay,

I don't want to use anyone's class without their expressed permission. Besides, all of them need editing. Right now I'm sure we have permission to use the following classes from this contest:

Storm
Warrior of the Broken Wake
Blade of God
Ranged Huntsman
The Brawler
The One
Green Warden

Any additions to this list? Those who wish to, send me a v2.0 of your LgC. If Morrus is willing, we'll post them here (instead?) for more suggestions and/or team editing.

As for timetable, lets try to limit it to as short as possible while still accomplishing other tasks we may have.

Thanks!

You might want to open up the 'Netbook' for more/newer entries. It all sounds pretty cool to me. I have a couple of ideas I might just do up and I think more people would contribute if they knew about it.

 

[Khur]

Hmmmm ...

It's not up to me about new entries, but I'm on the fence about it. On the one hand it's a cool idea to get more LgCs. On the other hand I'd just like to see the good ones from this contest honed and presented nicely. Further, the work involved gets much bigger if we take more entries.

I'll have to sleep on it. Others can voice their opinions.

Firstly congrats to all the other winners and thanks to anyone who took the time to read and comment on my submissions...

Also thanks to FFG and Morrus...

The King's Warden and The Maitre d'Escrime were my creations and I have taken on board what has been said about them to date... I haven't had a chance to edit them at all yet, but I'll get to it one day, I'm sure...

I'd be honoured to have them in a Netbook, if they're wanted for inclusion... I'm also happy to help out with the preparation of such a book - although please don't ask me for art work... unless you like the idea of stick-figure Legendary Class pictures...

I hope the Netbook idea gets off the ground... these Legendary Classes are too cool to not make them more freely available to gamers everywhere...

Once again, congratulations to the winners...
