Sidewinder - Back in the Saddle - OOC

[Max]

Toric,

according to the feats table, "Salt" is a prerequisite for "True Grit" (Sidewinder, p. 60), though it didn't get mentioned in the feat description. Still ,the table is probably correct, as otherwise the feat "Salt" would make no sense.

You are correct. Salt is a prerequisite for True Grit. That came out as errata on the yahoo group. The only other official errata I heard about is Ride should be a class skill for Ruslters. Its so obvious, most people didn't even notice it was missing (including me, until it was pointed out).

I edited my character sheet, replacing True Grit with Salt. I didn't look at the Feat chart, only the descriptions, which is why I missed it.

Bump for justice !

Just a quick update for everyone:

I'd mailed maddmic with a few questions and he mentioned in his answer that he has some RL stuff going on which put a crimp into his planned launch date.

Sorry all. I had planned on launching last night, but there were some problems with the boards. I will hopefully get it online tonight or tomorrow night, if only to get the witty banter flowing....

No problem. Actually, I wouldn't have been able to do much had you gotten going earlier. Just got a major proposal turned in today, so life is much more relaxed. For now.

Thanks for the update. PBP and PBEM games always suffer when real life rears its ugly head.

Just thought I'd mention that Dog House Rules has said they would be happy to host Sidewinder games on their web site.

If you want to stay here, that's fine with me. Just thought I'd point out another, less crowded, option.

Of course, they are hoping everyone will buy Recoiled but I'm sure they would be happy to host any Sidewinder game.

BTW, Recoiled looks like it will fix some problems original Sidewinder has. The combat preview (just posted tonight) answers a couple questions I've always had -- like how to you deal with multiple people in a showdown?

Anyway, just throwing that out for what its worth.

All,

I would like to apologize for not getthing the game up this past week. I had some real life things come up that kept me from devoting my time to this project. I have a few more things to get ironed out, and have had some ideas passed on to me from Douane.

1. Douane has asked if the far shot feat can be used in this system. That's fine with me, I just want to let you all know this so that you could re-vamp if you wished.

2. He also asked me if we could use the Deadlands d20 list of weapons/firearms. I do not have a problem with this as long as 2 things happen. a. The weapons need to be comperable to the Sidewinder's in damage and cost. b. I need a copy of this list as I only own the original version.

All of these things being said, I will try to get things rolling and online by the end of the week. I really want to get things online by tomorrow night, but with the way things have been going I can't promise that.

Once again, sorry for the delay.

I don't have Deadlands. Can you make the list available for everyone, so we can see what the options will be? That is one thing the new Sidewinder: Recoilded is going to correct about original Sidewinder -- there will be a selection of weapons to choose from. That always annoyned me, so I understand why someone would want to use an expanded list.
