The big question -- how do they do classes? -- is answered. Classes are replicated via Edge trees; one for each traditional Pathfinder class.

Two of the designers -- Chris Warner and Mike Barbeau -- appeared on our podcast last week to talk all about it.


You can grab it digitally for $25, the core rules hardcover is $50, the core boxed set is $200, and both boxed sets together comes to $300.

Thanks for posting those previews. I really like how this is looking.

Shane Hensley was recently interviewed on Know Direction. He verified that this is a licensed project that's limited to just Pathfinder First Edition material. All design work is internal. There are no Paizo staff involved in the design process.

In some regards this mash-up is not terribly surprising at all. Both Savage Worlds and 3e D&D came on the scene at around the same time and share a lot of similar game design values despite their differences. Keith Baker even said, for example, that Savage Worlds was probably one of the more appropriate non-D&D systems for playing his original conception of Eberron, which itself was written to be an expression of 3e D&D writ large.

My minor nitpick is that I wish they’d called ‘Smite Evil’ something different, just to avoid any connection to the power that’s also called ‘smite.’ But I think I can get over it.

...re-reading the previews and wondering why the bard iconic has taken Taunt skill when Sharp Tongued allows the character to use Performance instead of Taunt in any test?

Because it hadn't been caught in editing yet? (The previews are not final)

Shane accidentally scrolled to the Bard while showing off the Barbarian; it wasn't quite ready for prime time yet. That Taunt d8 is a Fighting d8 at the moment.
