[Malladin's Gate] Etherscope

Okay, one more question...

You mention that you'll be releasing 7 books altogether. How are you planning on spacing that? One a month? One a quarter? Only reason I ask is that a monthly spacing, starting this summer, would put us around this time next year for final release. If that's so, you're really mean for teasing us like this! j/k

Sounds wonderful, lads. I await the first product with baited breath!

Cheers!

Eh, I didn't like the whole "your world, my world" schtick. It was too much peircing the fourth wall or something for my tastes. The setting itself sounds good, but the narrative was distracting to me, when it kept pointing out the differences between "my world" and the game world. I kept asking myself "How does the narrator know anything about the real world, if he lives in a fantasy world?" But hey, that's just me. Killer of Joy. Good luck with the project though.

Release?

Just wanted to bump this up in the threads in the hopes of getting a release date. It's the only one on the MP site without one.

It seems I missed putting the release 'date' onto our website for the Campaign Primer, this has now been now fixed.

That's cool. Summer/autumn is a close enough "date" for me!

Just some more notes on what the game will be like:

Etherscope is a D20 Modern based game, but with completely new basic and advanced classes to really capture the feel of the setting. The feat and skill list has also been tweaked to capture the unique steam/cyberpunk flavour, but remain D20 Modern at the core.

There's new systems for 'immersed' net running (called 'scope riding' in the game), which includes some very Matrix-style combat action.

The occult themes of the game has developed with a new system for low powered D20 Modern magic with a victorian feel that could easily be used in any D20 Modern game.

cheerio,

Ben
