[QUOTE="Matthew_, post: 3910344, member: 54195"] No problem, I hope that you had a good holiday. I am glad to hear that you will be continuing to support the [I]Feudal Lords Campaign Setting[/I] for the forseeable future and am looking forward to seeing what you do with it. It's hard to be at the mercy of an edition change, but I think that on the whole the benefits currently outweigh the drawbacks and your [I]For Any Edition[/I] response was a good decision. I occasionally catch myself thinking how suitable [I]Feudal Lords[/I] would be for [I]True20[/I], but I imagine that would result in an undesirable narrowing of your consumer base. I wonder if you could just comment a little on the sorts of things we can expect to see in the [I]Player's Guide to Cthonia[/I]. I very much enjoyed your Sub Class mechanic and am hoping to see other ideas useful for low level play. A template that allows you to tweak the progression of a Class has a lot more appeal for me than, for instance, the Squire Base Class, which treated level progression too much like career stages for my liking. In which direction is the [I]Player's Guide to Cthonia[/I] leaning? I was also wondering about your treatment of Humanoids. The Orcs of the Hill Lands have received quite a bit of attention, but are there Humanoids in Cthonia that appear in the [I]Player's Guide[/I]? I have to say, I'm not a big fan of the 'Humans in funny suits' route that 3e has taken and seems to be upholding for 4e. I prefer my monsters to be, well, monstrous, rather than simply primitive or misunderstood. The seeming equivalence of the Orc and Turcomen cultures that inhabit the Southlands didn't sit very well with me, so I am interested to know if there will be similar dichotomies in Cthonia. Thanks for your time. [/QUOTE]
